Prada Striped Leather Hobo
Bigger is not always better. We crazy fashionistas aren’t mad about oversized shoulder bags anymore. The fashion stage belongs to little and almost intimate fierce purses.

Well..Im certainly impressed!
I’ve been waiting for small bags and don’t have a clue what women are putting inside what I call carry-on size bags.
As long as my purse is 9x5x3 I’m good to go. That is enough room for 2 diapers, a plastic baggie with wipes, my Sony Reader, a cell phone, chap stick, and a small wallet. I don’t know how some manage to fill those giant totes that were trendy for a while....
Well, I carry my wallet, keys and sunglasses. Also a large folding knife, flashlight, P-38, pliers, screwdriver, extension cord, tin of cigars, telephone, mace, lunch, and other sundry stuff that comes with a CWL. I just use a camp sack for a purse. Works for me.
My wife looked at the smaller purses recently. Her primary fashion accessory—an HK USPc 9mm—doesn’t fit, and there’s rarely a hidden holster compartment anyway. No sale.
I saw the word “sexy” in the thread title and immediately clicked on it, and it’s about handbags.
What a tease.
Wow. What’s a CWL? (computer talk?) and a P-38?
Does she have a sister?
Well ladies, if you are depending on a purse to accent your beauty, you might as well send the money to me. I would find you more attractive after receipt, and you won’t have to carry a crutch around. You likely don’t need it anyway. Of course you can use the ‘fashion’ excuse, but we have known better for a lonnnnnnnng time now...
If it can’t hold an N-frame revolver my trousseau is just going to have to do without it.
You know, if any of these designer purses marketing department had a clue, they would put a compartment or holder in for a gun.
I bet it would take off like wildfire.
Amen.
That's exactly what a bunch of the guys asked last weekend at the advanced pistolcraft class we took together. She also hunts, butchers deer, and shoots highpower. All that and an exceptional taste in purses....
CWL=Concealed Weapon Licence P-38 is one of them thar weapons.
I always carry in a waist holster-strong arm side. However, extra ammo and speed loaders go in the purse. Magazines go into the rear pocket of my britches, turned just right so they can be popped in quickly. Additionally, I shoot both weapons several times a year to keep up on proficiency. I guess all and all, I don't like little purses. Heck, I'm lucky if my shoes match (each other) and my purse must be useful.
We used to call them a "John Wayne."
Yep, that’s my little baby. Used it long before sardines came in a pop-top tin.
Good gravy! That striped thing is $1,675.00!!
Ah, I remember those from my prior camping days.
