I have a bag that is just perfect for me. Not too big, with a designated pocket for the phone, and one for money, plenty of room for cards, zipper closure and a nice long strap so I can sling it around my body leaving my hands free. (I only use this type of bag since putting my hand held one down at work one day and finding someone had made off with my money and credit card.) But sad to say my perfect bag is now so shabby I am embarrassed to take it out. I am though deconstructing this purse so I can use the bits as patterns to make me a new bag.
