This is Vicky. She is 32 years old and a mother of a 2-year old daughter. She is very similar to Mo in that her handbag choice, especially now that she is back at work, needs to be more about her than it is about the fact that she is a mother. Also like Mo, her daughters things can't help but creep into her handbag... (Note the wadded up tissues and sweets/chocolate -- "Just in case")Vicky bought this bag recently in the sales. It was a bit of an impulse buy, "I actually wanted to look at something else in the shop but someone was in the way so I decided to look at the handbags. I needed something functional -- that I could use for work -- but not too big. I didn't want it to look like a diaper bag. What I liked about this one is that it is deceivingly big... It looks quite small but hold a lot."
Vicky says she needs her bag to be practical because her busy schedule means that she can quite easily become disorganised. So, she needs a bag that helps her keep it together.
Inside her bag you will find:
Loose change -- "It fell out of my purse at some point."
hair brush
opened and half eaten chocolate bar -- "My daughter ate part of this when we were out shopping but didn't want to finish it. I just shoved it back in my bag."
Sanitary towel
Tissues
Oyster Card
Pens (Lots and lots of those!)
lock for her locker at the gym
Lipstick and Lip gloss -- "Because I am trying to hold onto my femininity at all costs. I hardly use it but it makes me feel more human to know it's there."
Wallet
Train ticket
