I have a wallet with a bank card, a PayPal card, my student ID, driver's license... And nothing else. It's pretty efficient.

mostly keep things in my pockets. when I need to pack more I bring a backpack or reusable grocery bags or something. when I worked at the pizza parlour a coworker said her dad was getting a body bag to help him carry things, after which she needed to explain to me designers like Gucci make body bags, which are just purses marketed towards men who are to fragile to admit they need a purse. anyway, good luck with your purse hunt, I hope it solves all of your carrying things problems |

Ominous Jazz posted:What do you put in it My laptop, occasionally. Two pairs of glasses. Asthma inhaler. Wallet with the billions of cards I have to have occasionally but don't want to sit on. Fold-up reusable grocery bag. Multi-tool. Bandana. Cliff bar (for secret eating). Allen wrench set. Assortment of USB cables. USB charger with built-in battery. Sharpie. Pen. Pencil. Tiny notebook. First aid kit. A whole lot of ibuprofen to give to people (I don't like ibuprofen), aspirin, and some benadryl. Earplugs. Business cards. Lots of keys I need from time to time but not often enough to carry in my front pocket. Dental floss. 15 feet of paracord. USB flash drive. My phone, occasionally. Work ID. Flashlight. Electronic bagpipe (for secret practicing). Wired earbuds. Wireless earbuds. USB C to 3.5mm TRS adapter. That's all I can remember without going and opening it up to look inside. e: I went and looked inside, and found a few more things: pair of foldable scissors, tape measurer, glasses cleaning cloth, any USB to any other USB (and even the Apple thing) adapter, a few more USB adapters, and something else I already forgot about again. cruft fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jul 29, 2023 |

You might be asking yourself, how did cruft get into the habit of carrying all this poo poo around everywhere. Well, I'll tell you. Diaper bags wind up being pretty handy for carrying other poo poo you need from time to time. Then the kid figures out how to use the toilet, and you ask yourself, do I really want to be that guy who doesn't have the pliers or the allen wrenches or the scissors? And for me, the answer was, no, I do not want to be that guy. So if you ever need something in a pinch, hit me up, I've probably got it. |

the most complete allen wrench set in the world isn't going to fix my problems but I appreciate the effort |

I got so frustrated looking for the right purse that I just started making my own. So yeah, easy solution is to just spend a few years getting comfortable enough with a sewing machine that you can find a good base pattern on Etsy, tweak certain aspects like the strap width, overall depth and add on a zipper pocket and whip one up yourself! |

Can't hurt to ask! Personally, I'm garbage at making any clothing more complicated than a skirt with an elastic waistband. Not sure why I can manage a purse with extra layers for pockets and zippers without the inevitable emotional meltdown that comes from attempting basic sleeves. Basically... sewing is a land of contrasts? If nothing else, it could be a good excuse to spend quality time working on a project together. |

I use a medical bag https://www.hopkinsmedicalproducts.com/catalog/Medical-Bags/Shoulder-Bags/Mini-Home-Health-Shoulder-Bag-HMP I have two others, larger than the mini, for rough weather or as needed. They're pretty good! Everywhere, everyone is red and green |
