I really like bucket purses. They are perfect to put drinks in and unlikely to fall over. I like a zipper on it. I have one purse like this and would like to get another sometime.
But if I'm going to a place where I'm walking a lot, I like backpack purses even though they are floppy and stuff gets lost in them easily. But a lot of places have bag restrictions so I have moved away from backpack purses which is a shame. I still have some in the closet along with a bunch of other purses people didn't want anymore. The others are nice since they are fully washable but they are floppy.
I carry a small purse for my phone, some spare makeup, receipts maybe, whatever else. I could probably stand to buy a new one. I've had this one for over ten years.
