  2. I love big bags-I even wear a big bag in the evening. I'll never understand how women fit a wallet, makeup bag, hair brush, cell phone, keys, sunglasses, and business card case in a little tiny clutch.

  9. wow, some of these bags look like they are going to knock the models down. reminds me of carrying around my backpack in high school with every single textbook in it, thought i was going to fall over.

  15. No matter what size bag is in style I always opt for the large ones. It's just my lifestyle so far. I not only carry my own stuff, but my kids stuff too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am obsessed with big bags. I just love that they fit everything and that I don't have to stuff everything into a tiny bag. I carry my camera every where so this is key for me! I love all of the options this season and lately I'm obsessed with suede so I'm loving these options.

  19. Loooove big bags! I carry too much stuff to downsize. Not too sure about the huge clutches though - it's like carrying around a baby!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Fabulousss...

  21. I'm in love with 'Mary Poppins' bags as I like to call them. The kind of bags you can get your life into twice. They're amazing. When I'm quickly packing, just throwing things in, I can never believe how one of those babies just NEVER gets full. :D I particularly like the one at the end of your picture collection, that looks like a briefcase. Also the brown one that seems speckled with little holes. Very autumn.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Im not really a big bag girl, more like medium size.. i do have my big dvf one though that i've been using all summer. it really depends on the situation.. at night, never!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Big bags always seem to be a great choice. They're practical and chic. I love the Stella McCartney and Balenciaga bags you posted.

  27. LOVE these big babies!! :) You could just use that for traveling. You can keep so many treasures in them!

  28. Guess big bags are due for a comeback! Remember when everyone used to carry those ridiculously heavy, large totes around and women were starting to get back problems from all the stuff they used to lug around in them? Even though I'm not a fan of their health consequences, I love the look of the oversized bag. So yeah, I'm going to look for something :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow! I thought big bags were on their way out? I thought it was all going small! Clearly I've not got my finger on the fashion pulse! Anyway, I've got to say - lovely bags but especially the blue ones - I am in love with blue leather...!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am deffinitely one for big bags.
    Though my muscles occasionally disagree with me and protest!

  45. My theory on bags is the bigger the better. :) Sometimes my purses are so huge they look like a suitcase. haha

  47. great post!! I am such a big bag girl. I can't use small bags. These are all terrific choices11

    ReplyDelete
  48. I gotta have a big bag. I carry my world in them! I think for people who live in metropolitan cities this is particularly true. We don't have a car runk to stash stuff in we have to carry it with us and there's no better way to do that than with a big chic bag.

    AWESOME POST!

    ReplyDelete
  49. gorgeous picks! i absolutely adore big bags!! guess cuz i'm the type of person who has something for everything in there. the most i've carried at school were three at the same time 4 all my stuff!

  53. This just made my day! sooo much eye-candy.

    Something about that green bag speaks to me (although I am not totally loving the entirety of the look).
    Also, those zebra shoes in the one pook are utterly Va-va-VOOM!

  56. "I like big bags and I cannot lie,
    You other sistas can't deny
    That when a girl walks by
    With a big bag in her hand...(etc.)"

    Sorry for my Friday silliness, but I absolutely LOVE big bags!!! I'm now on the hunt for a big big one! :)

  62. Oh I am such a sucker for big bags! Though it is kind of awkward navigating the NYC subway system with a suitcase-disguised-as-a-purse hitting people and taking up the entire seat next to me.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Loving the alligator - you can't go wrong with it! Yellow is the best color for this season, or a rich chocolate brown.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh, I have an obsession about getting a big bag right now. I'd need one right now, sure I have others but in too spring-y colors or they're too heavy or something else is always wrong.

  75. Being a man I'll admit I do not know much bout bags, unless it is a moon bag. however, the legs of some of the models are something to write home about. Great post Carrie, the legs are great!
