Honestly, I just can't bother with keeping track of some cumbersome bag. If it isn't a long-strap bag, I'm far to likely to set it down somewhere and walk away without it.

I live in Toronto and I spend most of my time trekking the city on my feet. Long-strapped bags allow me to place the bag across the body and be hands free - I can walk or dash off (and chase the streetcar) easily. I also find most purses to be annoyingly "cumbersome" (not sure this is the right word). I don't like how they slip off my shoulders or I keep having to clutch onto them just so they don't fall off. I don't see a lot of cross-body bags that are more like "purses" as opposed to "messenger bags"... Where can I get these online? I LOVE cross-body bags.

But then again, what goes around comes back around in a slightly different form - so it's often not worth keeping stuff around, unless it's super high quality. Goes to show that fashion is cyclical.

I used to have a lot of these bags in the 90's. Then the style changed to the short handled bags you tuck under your armpit. Now the long straps are back? Sigh. I should never get rid of stuff.
