I've had an ongoing love affair with purses for quite some time now. I don't know when exactly it started, but when I worked in the Nordstrom handbag department during one holiday season, I knew that it would be forever. If you're wondering why I stopped working there... Well, other salespeople were there for the money and would do anything to steal sales from you. But that's another story in itself.
Anyways, my love for handbags is still true and unwavering. I seem to have grown a radar that can determine the real from the fake. I know when a handbag is not being honest with me. It must be unique and authentic in order for me to give it the time of day. No sweet talk and fancy charms will lure me!
However, I will be honest and say that I am not faithful to one particular handbag. And they know this. Many a handbag has lined up on the shelves of my closet waiting for attention and some love. 
Now there are some new handbags by Ananas that I'm trying not to fall in love with. But, they're inspired by the styles that are used by Filipino women - my people! Therefore, I must support ;)

I love this article! ;-)
You should post about handbags more often.
