    In full seriousness, one of my green lights for a relationship is someone who values functional pockets in clothing and other practicalities.

        I’m sure you can find exceptions, but most purses, especially the more expensive ones, are just big voids with a shoulder strap (if even that). They’re designed to be fashion accessories.

        You can replicate the entire function of most purses with a plastic grocery bag.

        Practicality is something like a backpack or shoulder pack. Many pocket and compartments, designed for weather resistance, rugged and durable. And honestly, more fashionable than a lot of people realize. So many colors and designs to choose from.

            Ah, then I wasn’t clear enough.

            I meant that something like that would get mentioned without prompting in normal conversation. That such things are constantly on their mind.

            “You look really nice.”

            “Thanks, it’s hard to find good jeans in my size with actual pockets.
