Living without a car has left me taking the MTR and hiking up Lan Kwai Fong with my usual beloved satchel bags slung around me and a Roo-Shopper bag with my lunch, flats (if I suspect my shoes aren't going to carry me through the day), umbrella and Kindle.
So far, I tell myself it works because pretty as the Roo-Shopper is, it's clearly "not a part of my outfit" since it looks like a grocery bag. But what if we were to acknowledge these poor second bags and make them a part of our look?
Since I'm never giving up my satchel's I'm on the lookout for a boxy square-ish tote (so it looks utilitarian and tidy). I want it to either be square or taller than it is wide and certainly not wider than my satchels I haven't decided yet if a fun print or a formal brown leather-look is called for - so perhaps both? =P
So do you girls tote two bags? And what's your favourite pairing?
Update: If the size is right, this is kinda what I'm looking for!

I'm carrying two bags in SG too! But mine's a cheapo knock-off from Daiso. It looks awfully auntie and I don't like the look but it's practical. Sigh. What do we do without cars? :P
Rinnah: Give in and get a nice second bag? =D Excuse to shop!
I don't like having more than one bag, but I carry around a ton of stuff, so often I resign myself to carrying a tote in addition to my proper purse. These days I have been stuffing everything into my cotton tote bag, but the seams are starting to come undone.
When I use up all my freebie bags, I'll get a nice washable tote bag :)
kuri: like it or not, distributing all that weight to more than one bag's probably healthier for you!
love it

I am such a sucker for two bags. I like to keep my handbag small and then carry a canvas tote with gym gear etc!
Re. thrift shops in HK. This is my little secret but Mee & Gee on Yi Luen Steet West (alleyway opposite H&M)is where it's at. ;)
