Saturday I didn’t particularly felt like shopping (what can I say, I have days like that, I know it’s weird, but it does happen), so I was happy to go to my friend’s house, sit down, chat for a bit while the sales rep (who is also someone I know but from a totally different context) was setting up everything. As she was taking out those bags I realised that some of them were pretty interesting. She started telling us about the products, the material (all made of polyvinyl), how to take care of them, etc. The colours of those bags were quite… let’s just say… “unique”.
Since I’m not one of those women who carry her life in her purse, I like to have an organized purse (like everything else in my life!), so for me the “best purse” is something with compartments… I’ve been thinking of downsizing my purse, actually I should say my wallet. That alone weighs a fair bit. Since I’m only at the “thinking” stage of the process, well, I didn’t do that just yet. BUT I’m thinking about it!
If somebody had told me that I would buy a non-leather purse one day I would have laughed in his or her face, and yet, on Saturday I did purchase a Beijo purse. Actually I bought two! It’s a good thing I didn’t feel like shopping.
Here’s “Unchain My Heart”, my new purse.
It has compartments, it’s colourful (a BIG change for me, I always get black usually), quite versatile because it comes with 2 sets of handles: long and short. I just love that red! 'Ain’t it purdy?
I was very tempted by "Voted Most Popular", but the buckle on top would have bothered me eventually, I'm pretty sure of it. I hesitated a bit between the one I did get and that one. I think I made the better choice for me.
I will have to get used to the fact that because of the material they are made in they are quite rigid as well as not being really light. Very different from my regular old, supple leather purse... I just realised that it must be a time of change for me... hum...
The other bag I got will be for when we go out or when we travel. I got the First Date, it's so cute! Don't you think so?!

I do not purs-ue purses so I'm keeping my lips pursed on this one.
lol at wreckless!
That purse is v nice. I love red! Im afraid i am one of those people that keeps everything in her bag (Tissues, pliers, packing tape), and so i end up wrecking them, so i dont buy nice ones, cuz they never stay noce.
I agree, that pink one is very cute!
noce? i just made up a word there....
I only started carrying a purse within the last 6 years...I used to totally hate them!
My purses are always black but I'm thinking of branching out into a different color...I think I need a brown one. The red purse is nice but there's no way I'd feel like I could pull it off...maybe some day ;)
...glad you like your new purses!
I likey. *clicks on link again*
wreckless: Wise man! ;-)
pigeon: Thank you! The funny thing is on top of being nice it wasn't that expensive actually.
"Noce" is French means "wedding", he.
kim: Thanks I do! I've always had purses, but never quite like this one before! But I'm enjoying it!
christina: Ditto - those things are addictive!
We call them hand-bags, here !! I love the red one, it is fabulous. I tend to go for black, with a long strap that I can wear over my shoulder and body, and not have to carry (so to speak). But, I would change, just for that red one ... I looooooove red !!
Take care, Meow
meow: Red is also one of my favourites! And I love my new bag! I must say I've been getting a few looks and comments here and there... It's fun and actually quite roomy and comfortable (to my surprise)!
