By now, the magentic closure on my green polka dot buttercup bag has almost entirely ripped out, so yesterday I switched back to my bird purse.
It's a nice change; the buttercup bag was feeling pretty cramped. It just barely fit the essentials. Very cute, not very practical. I was getting tired of having to carry my water bottle in my hand everywhere I went. Now the bird purse feels huge, but I like to have space for water, snacks, or a random button or thread purchase.
I was torn on the magnetic closure at first, and now I think I am entirely against it. It might be nice for a flap or other secondary closure, but as a primary closure, it fails. And stuff kept falling out, too.
I never used to be a purse person, but most of my clothes don't have pockets. I like the way pockets look in skirts. . . until you put something in them. And all my skirts with pockets have always ripped in the pocket area first.
I think I want to sew a new purse this summer in an in-between size. The bird purse is starting to get a little frayed in the corners.
