My longchamps falls off my shoulder constantly. Maybe it’s my shoulders. I found that true as well. I think the straps are rounded hence slippery? DNL.

Ok ladies. I need a travel bag tote that will not break the bank. And I mean budget. Thinking of something like the Longchamp large Pilage but I really do not want to spend more than $50-$100. It's strictly for airports. I realized I don't have a bag for this purpose anymore. Zip top preferably. Recs? They frequently have Longchamp totes at The Rack near me for $75. They are usually fold up and tucked into the shelves by the purses. Never mind- I see you didn’t actually like the longchamp.

My favorite bag of 2019 is also my most used bag, my Loewe puzzle bag 😍😍😍 I bought it secondhand NWT and I use it almost every day. Love love.

All I can think of is that Will and Grace episode where Jack and Karen convince that woman (I can’t think of the actress’s name) that it’s the Year of the Shoulder and she needs shoulder implants.

I got inspired by the 2020 reading thread, where we all listed our favorite/least favorite books from 2019. I figured it might be fun to do something similar here? What was everyone’s favorite bag from 2019? Doesn’t have to be something you purchased in 2019 - just something that brought you the most joy, or that you got the most use out of, etc. Here are mine: Most used bag - Dagne Dover classic tote. It’s my work bag, and I love how indestructible it is, plus the organization inside is amazing. Favorite bag - The Polene numero six in black moc croc gave me the most joy in 2019. It’s not practical at all, but I loved it for date nights and little jaunts here and there with friends. Plus, it fits my phone and has a convenient magnetic pocket inside for cards/cash/coins. I think the Polene is going to be my birthday treat to myself this month. I'm looking at the monochrome rose color. I need a fun little bag.

truckerhat, I know some people have feels about Stella and Dot, but I can’t rave about their totes enough. It was my carry-on/beach bag all over Portugal for two weeks. I have a smaller one, but I love this bag for the wet compartment at the bottom. My bag of the year is a random purchase from my MIL, it’s not designer, but it’s leather and completely adorable.

I forgot it at my office and had to use a tote this time and even though it has the suitcase sleeve I really missed the backpack.

However, my kids are now at an age where they carry their own stuff and it is life changing. They had Aways roller which I sold, and now have Travelpro spinners (21") along with their own backpacks with their snacks, iPads, lovies, plane pillow, blanket etc. THIS, THIS is the age I've been waiting for! *They are 4.5 and 8.

easier I love the Loewe puzzle bag! It always catches my eye when I see it out and about - such a cool design. imapenguin and bazi I’m so glad you two have been enjoying the round rattan bag from Amazon! 😁 I was going to mention that as one of my favorites for 2019 too. I have received so many compliments on it and will be using it a ton in 2020 I’m sure. kittyriot I love the color and design on that bag your MIL got for you! It looks like it would go with anything too. 👍

I think this is the winner, thanks bazi! Wait, don’t you have an OG bag? It attaches to your suitcase too. I usually attach the extra long strap for traveling, but the shoulder straps are great for regular use.

My most used bag is my Dagne Dover Allyn. It’s been my work bag for a year and a half now and I have no complaints. I’m already loving the Swagger a lot, but the bag I enjoyed most in 2019 was the mini J. Crew Harper. It’s too small to be a practical every day bag, but it’s cute and I use it for date nights when I just need a few cards and a phone.

This is just so perfect, exactly what I was wanting in a work bag. Too bad I had to do budget this time!! And Taitai, thanks! It really does spruce up any outfit and I’m always getting compliments on it. In retirement MIL picked up a part time job at a higher end ladies boutique so now all my gifts come from there. I’m very grateful, I got a really lovely slouchy tote from her this year for Christmas!
