In professional life, we heaved something more substantial to protect laptops or folders. Once you reach the point where carrying one of these works for you, it signifies an important life stage.Īs pupils and students, we lugged around satchels and rucksacks rammed with school books and homework.

I prefer Portable Pocket (all busy women know the importance of pockets.) And they aren’t a trivial or incidental thing, or as their names might suggest, used primarily for vacations or sightseeing. but mobile phones have absorbed most of these functions, cards and mobile banking have largely replaced cash ergo, bags can be lighter and less obtrusive.Ĭity Pouches, Cross Body, Travel or Sling, these bags have numerous monikers (the worst is ‘man bag’) but these names don’t accurately convey the significance of these understated accessories. Once, we might have carried around a ton of objects in our bag: an address book or Filofax, A-Z, bulky purse, camera, Walkman etc. Durable, utilitarian and practical (Eastpak used to make bags for the US Military) I could see it fitting into my life and wardrobe immediately.Īs much of our lives has been streamlined, miniaturised and computerised, our essential accoutrements take up less space. My khaki, nylon Eastpak cross body bag (the perfect size for the accompanying bar of Tony’s Chocolonely) was decidedly un-mumsy but, I was thrilled.
I wasn’t handed the standard gift-wrapped cliché of scented candles, or a bouquet. Have you arrived at the hands-free stage of life yet? This Mother’s Day, I received something useful.
