    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.

      My point was that most humans value functional pockets of all varieties. I’m not even sure the type of person who would not value pockets or bags or purses?

      Also you clearly have never shopped for purses before hahah

        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.
