Miche!

[justgreen]

Well I broke down and got a Miche base bag and two shells. Lauren (http://www.google.com/imgres?q=miche+lauren&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1C1_____enUS466US466&biw=1280&bih=709&tbm=isch&tbnid=GDPS4Pw665zcdM:&imgrefurl=http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/tag/clicky-clicky/&docid=SQerbsaq7rrLeM&imgurl=http://www.beans-etc.com/fangirl/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/miche_lauren.jpeg&w=234&h=250&ei=25MpT_feDOO0iQKT1P3TCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=211&vpy=333&dur=152&hovh=200&hovw=187&tx=86&ty=137&sig=109103410082675401997&page=1&tbnh=170&tbnw=159&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0) and Lexi (http://www.google.com/imgres?q=miche+Lexi&um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1_____enUS466US466&biw=1280&bih=709&tbm=isch&tbnid=L_4EUvocN5rnKM:&imgrefurl=http://michebaggreatertampa.webs.com/apps/photos/photo%3Fphotoid%3D125733671&docid=l1EKKHYKRbSvxM&imgurl=http://webzoom.freewebs.com/michebaggreatertampa/photos/Big-Bag-Shells/lexi.jpg&w=342&h=325&ei=GpQpT87qOuPUiAK104TYCg&zoom=1). The flowers on the Lauren are flocked and the spots on the Lexi are black AND brown, both shells are gorgeous and I'm in love. I'm currently searching for the Drew (http://www.google.com/imgres? dq=miche+drew&num=10&um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1_____enUS466US466&biw=1280&bih=709&tbm=isch&tbnid=hCDL0cipIs6klM:&imgrefurl=http://sweeps4bloggers.com/%3Fp%3D16270&docid=KgwMsTab00bCYM&imgurl=http://sweeps4bloggers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Miche-Bag-Drew-Shell-264x300.png&w=264&h=300&ei=d5QpT9HeLNLSiAKKpIG5Ag&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=181&vpy=374&dur=102&hovh=239&hovw=211&tx=135&ty=214&sig=109103410082675401997&sqi=2&page=1&tbnh=159&tbnw=133&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0). I've seen this one in person and have lusted after it for months.

The Prima size is just perfect for me. It holds my big wallet, my Kindle (and in the very near future a tablet) and also holds my small wristlet knitting purse, a bottle of water and all the other stuff that I cannot do without.

I haven't succumbed yet but I've looked at them. You are such an enabler!

For those who love to have a number of regular bags on the go, an interim step between normal handbags and the fully fledged Miche system can be found in the shape of the bag liners you can buy on eBay or Etsy. You just fill it with your stuff and transfer the whole kit n caboodle from one handbag to another.

I have this one (http://www.quirkybags.co.uk/handbag-organiser-vip-by-tintamar/vip-one-special-edition-peacock-navy-blue.html), it's gorgeous! blue velvet and peacock feathers.

I like those little inner bags too. They are great. I'm one who likes to coordinate my bag with my outfit so I am forever changing bags.

They also have the benefit of protecting the inside of the handbag from grubbiness, spills, pen marks etc - many of them are washable. I'm really prissy about the inside of handbags being perfectly clean.

I like that they contain all the little stuff and it doesn't go to the bottom of my bag. I don't like dirty bag linings either.

Sorry Justy for hijacking the topic away from Miche bags!
