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 carry a small hunting knife in my purse. Sounds crazy but comes in handy for all sorts of quick fixes. Opening packages, cutting an apple for lunch on the go and most recently cutting a stray cat loose from a string it was tangled in!
I carry a small bottle of windex! it works magic on everything
I would absolutely love the snakeskin-embossed black hobo with natural leather trim!!!! I would take it everywhere!!!
I have a 1911 Kimber 9mm that goes everywhere with me. Always in my purse! Always!!
I carry a diaper and wipes, and always gold fish for my daughter!
Diapers, band aids and a pocket knife!
Super glue. Quick fix for dry fingers that crack open.
I have a door handle from our screen door. A storm blew the door open and ripped the handle right off ha ha. I have it in there as a reminder to pick up a new one and so far it's been unsuccessful. LOL
