Have you bought or acquired a handbag / purse, or a tote recently?

If so, what style, color, and material?

I received one for Christmas but I have avoided the temptations to look at any others.

I picked one up about 6 months ago or so.  Smaller medium sized satchel style with a shoulder strap.  Never had the opportunity to use it till last week since I present primarily male.  Last week I was sent out of town for work.  Since I was checking my bags, I needed something a little more than my pockets to carry my travel paper plus a paperback and tablet.

I liked carrying a purse.  It felt good.  Affirming.  It came in pretty handy too.

Last week I couldn't resist the temptations of their sale anymore and got myself a Kate Spade medium sized black shoulder bag at a really good price. I used it last Saturday when I attended my monthly social / support group meeting.

...and what's in it?

I'm thinking of a friend who carries a change of clothes and a sewing kit.
One of my kids carries a huge collection of cosmetics.
I carry my wallet, keys, cell phone, a few pills, tissues (for my nose and toilet paper emergencies), N95 masks, sunglasses, pens, salve, hair ties, sometimes a snack.
My sweetheart carries a thick math textbook, notebooks, pens, large corded headphones, wallet, keys, and many odds and ends.

My sweetheart bought my latest purse for me 4 years ago. It's rugged heavy leather, well-crafted by an artisan.

My daughters bought me my previous one, nearly 10 years ago. It was from a Coach factory outlet clearance sale, black leather (when my main clothing color was black), with a flap and lots of pockets, big enough to hold my Planner.

...and what's in it?

Just the essentials: wallet, car & house keys, iPhone, reading glasses, pen, tissues, pocket mirror, lipstick, hairbrush.

Have you ever bought or got an unusual or extraordinary handbag?  Perhaps it is the style or material or colors etc., that made it unusual or extraordinary.
