Thread: What do you look for while purchasing your bags?

For me, both inside and outside of the bag is important while purchasing the bag. as i carry so many items inside my bags to office, i also prefer a bag with number of compartments.

What do you look for in the nahd bags you purchase?

I prefer a purse/bag that zippers or snaps -- I like my purse/bag to be closed as much as possible -

Pockets are definitely a plus !!

Of course, zippers are important to prevent things drop off the bag. Do you like short or long handles?

what other features do your like in your handbag? i mean about the internal designs..Do you prefer many compartments?

Yeah, but most of the women love design of the bags. tiny details of the inner design of the bags are considered by people who are taking their bags for particular purpose.

When it comes to compartments of the bag, i prefer at least 2-3 compartments to carry my belongings and lunch-box to office

This first thing that comes to my mind is, when buying a bag, how easy is it to open. I hate those bags with a hard zip or difficult button that needs an hour to open! For me a bag must be "easy": easy to open, easy to throw stuff inside...!

I look for the design, the quality of the zipper (if it has one) and the price (of course).

Non-negotiable is that it must close securely (zipper or strong snap) because I've lost things from open/tote styles before.

It must be the right size for what I need to carry (I don't like the look of either overstuffed or nearly empty bags), and light weight (shoulder problems), and have a cellphone pocket so my phone doesn't get scuffed.

I used to prefer bags with card slots/money pockets so I didn't need a wallet but lately I've been using a wallet.

I also used to like lots of dividers to keep things neatly organized but right now I'm carrying mostly hobo styles.

I look for supple leather, right size, useful compartments.

frbspa-- I'm loving your BBag!!! (TDF)

I like bags with nice leathers, pockets to keep things organized (and not loose my keys and cell)
I like the top to have some kind of closure, but I tend to carry pouches to keep things organized, and also I love when they have and extra strap so I can use it as a messenger bag.

The first thing that catches my attention is the size. It should be medium-sized. Next is the color - I prefer brown over everything else. Then the price tag. And lastly, the zippers. I always test the zippers whether they can handle my strong grip and pull. =)
