The bag challenge: swap bags every day for one week. Every day.
Friday, March 12, 2010 AT 1:44 AM

I started swapping bags every time I leave the house a few years ago. Why? A few reasons. One, different bags go with different clothes. Two, we buy all these bags ... and then only use one as our everyday bag. It doesn't make sense. The more bags you have, the more you should use them! It's no use having them pile up in a corner of your closet. Of course, the only problem with this is that you often end up forgetting keys/wallet/lipgloss/tampons/powder etc in the bag you've left at home for that day. But you soon get used to it.

For the next seven days, swap your bag and take a photo of your outfit. We're introducing a new section on Coco Lee where you can upload your own shots. Or if you don't want your whole self to be in it, you can just take shots of your bag! New website to come next week and I'll explain more then. In the meantime, some inspiration:

Alexa Chung in another fabulous outfit at London Fashion Week of her usual mish mash style. Of course, helps if you've got a Mulberry bag actually named after you! That's right, Alexa is carrying the new Alexa, in leopard print hair calf. Why can't we all have a bag named after us?

 

Cheryl Cole at the airport with a studded number. Great to toughen up any outfit. 

 

Rachael Zoe with her khaki Hermes Birkin. Imagine being able to afford a Birkin ... let alone afford one in khaki. You'd have to have multiples if you bought this colour.

 

The long satchel is everywhere! Make sure the strap is comfy and long enough to fit across your body as well.

And if you're feeling a little bag-lusty, check out our Pink Corp sale for brand new bag at half price for a new injection. Click Shop on the menu bar to see.

I got given one of those as well! Unfortunately lost my makeup bag the same week so it's been used as that ever since.

After many years of forgetting keys, wallets, phones etc because I'd changed bags my friend (who was no doubt a little over the "I've lost my keys again!" panic) gave me one of those handbag pouches. Now when I'm running out the door I just grab the pouch and throw it in the chosen bag of the day. Best present I've ever been given!!
