It's been said that there are two types of people in the world: women who are obsessed with handbags, and men.

I admit to an obession with handbags. Bags of all kinds, really. Tote bags, coin purses, shopping bags, lunch bags . . . Love them. I have a few expensive handbags, but nothing like the $10,000 ones they talk about here, of course. A $100 one is a big splurge purchase for me, and there haven't been too many of those lately. My biggest thrill is finding one of my favorite bags on clearance somewhere.
