What kind or size purse you carry with Kindle everyday ?

[Meemo]

I have a one of a kind Penelope Foo purse that I carry Marvin in.  Marvin wears a Decal girl skin, an Oberon cover and is in a Borsa Bella bag inside my purse.

Anyhow, I LOVE my Penelope Foo.  It is made from a recycled 1970s leather trench coat.  Very unique and totally suits me.  Here's Penelope Foos Etsy address:

If I can manage, I may post pictures later!

Oh wow - I HAVE a '70s leather trench coat - I would love to have a purse made from it.  It looks like Penelope Foo doesn't do that right now though.

Stop posting that Penelope Foo link!  Must not click must not click.  Thank goodness Etsy doesn't have one click!

Nice bag, NYC.  Pillows are nice too!

Hi LisaW - does the Mili have a pocket in it which fits your Kindle by itself, or do you just carry it loose in the main compartment?  I was looking at those bags online, since I've been very happy with the other Sherpani bags I have, but I haven't found an interior picture yet, and I was a little concerned about the magnetic clasp being a problem (since I carry a bunch of electronics with me). 

Thanks!

Hi Kristin,
The Milli purse is mostly one large compartment inside.


But honestly, I've never had any problems with magnetic clasps on purses interfering with my electronics (and this magnet is pretty strong). I have both iPod and Kindle cases that have magnetic closures, and they're safe. Also, there are 4 layers between the magnet and the interior of the purse - there is a small zippered pouch outside of the main compartment, and an area for pens, iPods, etc in the interior, so they all add a bit of a buffer.

P.S. You can see a larger version of the image above at both eBags and Amazon. Good luck deciding! Of the current colors, I love Palm and Sea Mist.

I would contact her specifically and ask - couldn't hurt to ask right?!

This is my Penelope Foo:

I truly love this purse!!  I did have a couple of seams reinforced since I not only carry my Kindle but, diapers, wipes, toys, sippy cups and all the other junk I "need" in it - it gets pretty heavy!  Now it's perfect!

I just ordered this purse last week and it was delivered on Saturday.  Perfect size for my Kindle in its case, plus other things like my wallet, phone, and Zune.  I like how the different colors make it go with almost anything, and the strap can be extended long enough to be cross-body.

On a similar note, does it ever scare anyone that a lot of us carry hundreds of dollars worth of electronic gadgets in our purses?  I know mine has K2 ($299), cell phone ($99), and Zune ($279).  That's almost $700 of electronics...makes me really careful that I don't leave my purse lying around

When you think about it it is kind of scary! Mine is always holding my K1 ($200), my BlackBerry ($500) and my iPod Touch ($300). That's $1000 worth of electronics! Yikes! I never leave my purse lying around either!

Yep:
Moto Qc smartphone: $149
Netbook: $350
500G portable harddrive $100
Kindle: $220 (bought used)
Zen mp3 player: $90 (when bought)
2 Gb jump drive: $50 (when bought)

Definitely don't want to leave the bag lying around or tote the stuff in something not very durable!

Not to mention wallet with credit cards!

I have a Marc Jacobs "Totally Turnlock Teri" bag that I absolutely love. My K2 fit in it so well, and I was thrilled to see that my new DX fit with room to spare as well - both in the zippered main compartment as well as the slip pockets on either side of the main compartment, if I ever chose to carry it that way.

Here's a link to the same bag in black. Admittedly, it is very pricey for some people, but I am admittedly a purse junkie (this thread with handbag postings is bad news for me!) with a fondness for squishy leather, plus I found mine at an incredible nowhere-near-that price at Nordstrom Rack.

The KDX actually sinks down lower in the bag when held - the bag sags down otherwise.

Hello every one... I am soooooo surprise that so many ladies has same thinking and same problem about purse and now   I am LOL myself reading CegAbq and  Hopeful76 said!!   you know it is so true about kind scary about holding your very nice special purse, kindle, phone, wallet and PC etc... you  are basically walking around every where everyday basis with $$$$   
 
   right now I am using my favorite  Burberry tote with matching wallet, iphone, K2 and etc....   I can't have" hand bag"... it have to be shoulder purse other wise I leave it on shelves at store !!!
   
 if it's a zip on top, I usually don't even zip because of inconvenient, here comes my sweet husband after me always chase me to zip my purse from behind and saying...." do you know how much $$$ worth items you are carrying around everyday? please at least zip your purse for safety..."   but  oh.... I have no problem worry about my inside wallet!!!   I don't hardly ever carry my cash on me so my family laugh with me about " mommy carry expensive items but no cash$$$ inside!!! LOL 

 and  julip  I love your  Marc Jacobs "Totally Turnlock Teri" bag!!!!  that is so perfect fit for kindle!!!

Purses are one of my weaknesses.  I DON'T need any more, so....I keep trying to stay away from this thread, but, obviously, I'm not very strong!   

That said, I find I'm using my j'tote everyday.  I know it's pretty big, but it works so well for me.  And....I can almost count on getting a compliment every time I take it out.

Not to mention wallet with credit cards!

And don't forget the Point and Shoot Digital Camera!

If you already have an idea of what kind of bag you want, check out http://www.modista.com/.  CAUTION: Do NOT click this link if you have something else to do! If you're like me it'll suck you in and spit out your empty wallet hours later. (My weakness is shoes, not purses, though.)

If you don't have any idea what you want, clcik anyway! They've got tons of cool stuff, and it's probably the most interesting/useful search engine interface I've ever seen.
