Do you love handbags? We do.
And with Fall fashions starting to trickle into stores, we just can't wait any longer to show how much we appreciate you! So share a secret with us & enter to win a genuine Dooney & Bourke handbag in the SheSpeaks Member Appreciation Giveaway!*
For some of us, handbags can be an outward sign of fashion savvy or earning power or represent something so deeply personal that we will sacrifice and save-up endlessly, to get just the right one.
But the real function of a bag is to carry stuff around. In colonial days, a woman's role was largely domestic and she carried her few belongings in a little pouch concealed in the folds of her skirt. But as women emerged into the workforce, the need arose for a sturdier accessory to hold her personal effects.
Now it is time to share a little secret!
Besides the daily-survival-kit & weekend-warrior-necessities like your phone, keys, make-up, safety pins, bandaids, hand sanitizers, headphones and umbrella .. .
what is the one thing that everyone who knows you would be surprised to learn is in your handbag?
Tell us in the comments below, and you could be a lucky winner
of one of the Dooney & Bourke handbags pictured here!
One could soon be yours!

I really don't think anyone would be surprised by anything in my bag lol
My gym membership and tanning lotion
I still have a tampon and pad in my purse even though I've gone thru menopause, just in case someone might need one.
A tanning gift card because I have never tanned before!
Honestly, scissors and snacks.
I have an unreasonable amount of candy considering I do not yet have children.
I carry a multitool in my bag.
I think anyone who knows me would be surprised to find something missing from my bag. it always weighs a ton because I don't like to be caught without something I need. Now, I do not carry an umbrella but I do carry those $1 rain ponchos.
One of those "rape whistles"!!!
A Swiss Army Knife includes everything from scissors to a saw and every tool in between.I am prepared for every situation.
I have a small collection of Sharpie markers in my bag.
All of my previous purses have been purchased from walmart. :(
I keep the usual items in my purse.
I have a tide to go pen and lots of receipts from stores as well as my class ring.
I keep mace which no one knows about and would definitely be shocked . I also keep an extra cell phone charger just incase. That's a total secret
