Better Life Bags...aka My Newest Bag Obsession!!!

If you know me, then my "obsession" with bags is not news to you.  I like love them.  Period.  Purses, clutches, totes of all sizes, cross body, satchels, etc etc etc...   Before you judge, you should know that I use them all.  I cycle through whenever I'm feeling bored and this keeps me from buying new!  Smart strategy, no?

A few years ago, I started to limit my collection to what would fit into ONE storage container (the size of said storage container is private).  I also made a rule for myself that every new purchase would require at least one or more existing bags to exit the premises.  This was a little tough to get used to, but it did help me evaluate a little better.  I even installed a system so I could hang/display my favorites.  Pretty Pretty Pretty

However, as I've been purging my possessions more recently, I've parted ways with quite a few.  I plan to go through them a few more times in the next 2 months--every time gets easier and easier after all.

WITH ALL THAT SAID, I officially want one of these bags...check them out!  Better Life Bags are custom bags with a story.  Not only does she give a percentage to her community and developing entrepreneurs through kiva.com, but she hires women that couldn't otherwise work to create these awesome bags!!  That's style & charity people.

Some of my favorites are:

• Clara Lynn: I love a great tote!
• Tracey: I recently discovered I kind of dig the wristlet concept
• Laptop Cover: for obvious reasons
• Beverly as shown in the pic above.

I'm not sure what fabrics I'd get, but these are definitely going on my list next time I'm treating myself to a new bag!!!  Or if anyone needs gift ideas....
