I love clutches and totes. The totes are practical for work and clutches for an evening out. The best part is if I used a clutch the night before I can just toss it in my tote for work and not have to go through the hassle of switching a bag if I am in a hurry. I never pay full price for a handbag and never spend over $300...although it is tempting. I have a dooney and bourke black leather satchel that I never use because after using I realize I do not like the function of a satchel...I read of a purse exchange party in an earlier post....I would gladly exchange the dooney.
I'm not really a clutch girl. I don't like having to carry a bag under my arm or have it hang off my wrist, but I like your idea of tossing it into the tote.
Maybe we could have an online bag exchange. That might be funn. or like the hornyments, a handmade handbag exchange.
Does your Dooney have the DB's on it? I've been thinking about getting a Dooney. I have a BCBG Black leather large, mint condition tote bag with a pretty silver clasp on it that I don't use much. Maybe we can trade.
