If I had a million dollars....

Welcome to the first post of Bags Behaving Badly, the not-really-companion blog to Dolls Behaving Badly. My name is Charlie, and I'm addicted to bags.

Expensive bags, cheap bags, handmade bags, Bags of Holding, magic bags, backpacks, sling bags, cosmetic bags, and your great-grandmother's alligator purse. I also love the feed sack bags from the 1930's-50s: they were made of such lovely cotton fabric, and I have a Rubbermaid bin full of them. I even got attached to a high-quality Ziplock bag once. I love every one of them.

Bag addictions usually accompany shoe and fashion mania, but honestly, I'm just all about the bags. All I ask of clothes and shoes is that they be comfortable and not too clownish. I couldn't tell you what my family is wearing on any given day (this is inconvenient when I lose sight of them in public), but I can tell you what my friend Linda was carrying to work in the summer of 1993. For the record, it was a large blue Coach tote in pebbled leather with brass feet on the bottom. You're welcome.

What you'll see here will be a lot of different kinds of posts, from pics of my own bag to interesting things I find online. Whatever catches my fancy that's bag-related, you can find here.

Drop me a comment and tell me what you're carrying! Or, for that matter, what you're jonesing for. I have an eye on this:




To start off, let's see some interesting pics I've collected in the past couple of years:

  1. Have to say it. What on earth is a kid that age doing with a Louis Vitton backpack?

Please leave your thoughts. I don't expect universal love but I do expect civil commentary. If you're a hater, don't play. Thanks!
