Women have some big obsessions in life, two of them being shoes and handbags. Handbags are so important to women because they are like an extension of our life. They carry everything we need (or that we could possibly ever need) when we leave the house and are on the go. Handbags accompany us when we are shopping, when we go to work, when we travel on the airplane, and when we go for long weekend trips to the country. Of course, each of these different types of outings will be accompanied by a different handbag because each place that we go has different needs and requirements.
Leather handbags for the long weekend has evolved into a large tote. It is not so big as a duffel bag and it does not look as sporty, either. The weekend tote has just enough room to fit a couple of outfits that travel well and a small toiletries case. The weekend tote can be made of a durable canvas or a leather bags material but it never looks as sporty and large as a duffel that might be taken camping or for your son's soccer match. Airplane Handbags have to be a bit smaller and should just be used for necessities and your bikini and sunscreen just in case you get to the hotel and your room is ready but you still want to go swimming. Leave the other vacation essentials for your carry on. Work bags can double as breif cases.
