…..A lot apparently.
According to handbag therapist (yes there is such a thing) and life coach Debbie Percy – by looking at the bag itself and some key contents in it – it can reveal much about your personality.
I saw Debbie conduct two “handbag readings” in a group situation last night, one of a handbag and one of a manbag – and she was spot on with what she said about the bag owners’ outlook on life.
Christian was the proud owner of a manbag which held a copy of Time Magazine, a leather bound notebook, a sunglasses case, an iPod and a tie.
Debbie revealed that he is an extremley organised guy, who loves order in his work life and aspires for higher things. Christian admitted she was correct (she delved into things a little more too) so take my word for it, this therapy is the real mccoy.
So, I’m now a believer and am just dying for Debbie to have a nosy in my own handbag! God knows what she would think – I’m currently carrying around a black straw summer basket which contains a set of keys, a pistachio green Purificación García wallet, a brolly, mobile phone, a pair of runners (to get me from A to B quick smart, I usually change into heels when I reach my destination), a notebook and pen, my 2009 agenda/diary, a pair of Versace sunglasses, a pair of reading glasses, red Rimmel lipstick, Chanel bronzer & brush, and a mini bottle of Joe Malone “pomegranate” perfume. (Yes it is a large bag!).

Got a new bag just recently, handmade in West Kerry, divine leathers with real suede lining that’s to die for. Wish I could curl up in it right now. http://www.holdenleathergoods.com/
This means it’s reasonably tidy but I usually have some toys and childrens books and enough rubbish to make me too embarassed to show it to anyone – I think you’ve inspired a new resolution – “keep my bag fit to show to a therapist”
