Bags: can you ever have enough? Sadly, for the me the answer is a hearty "hell to the no!" This holiday season, I'm sending out my wishlist  in the hopes of receiving a few of my favorites, and a new big bag is most definitely on my list. (Psst! Did you know you can make an Etsy mini from your favorites to show what you want?)

Whether it's a gift for a loved one or an indulgence for yourself, this collection of oversized bags might just be the cure for a holiday wish or two.

I am right with you! I have 3 bags so far purchased on Etsy.
I love them! 2 are from Moop as the market bag is a must!

I used to be a small bag kinda person but then I built myself a really big shoulder bag for my summer travels and now I'm hooked. I carry everything with me now and never use plastic. Big bags forever!

Little bags can make a statement, too:

Just remember you may need a wallet to go with your big bag. Let me know, I would love to make you a wallet to go with your BIG BAG.

I am addicted to BIG bags! I keep searching for larger and larger ones, my family calls them suitcases. Unfotunately I turned my locker mate at my yucky day job onto large bags so now we race each other to the locker to try and cram our bag in first. Its a tight squeeze for who ever gets there last but oh so worth it. James Bond would be jelous of the amount of useful things I fit in there!

big bags are the best!!

Ohhhhhhh, I love bags... I could change bags once a week, lol.
They are my weakness...

Oct. 28, 2008 at 8:08 p.m. dianacolada

booyah! BAGS BAGS BAGS! What am I going to do with all these BAGS?! Try the new bag hutch! "Hey honey, where all the bags?" "In the bag hutch." "No shit!"

I adore big bags too!

Although my small bags seem to sell much better than the big
ones.

Where are all the big bag lovers??? :)

Wow. Great ideas.

I love bags aswell, I have quite a collection and I also make Arabella rabbit art-accessory bags although she is a real size rabbit bag.
I do have it in the pipeline to make a shopper with her though! Shopper is what my gran called her everyday grocery bag she used when she went shopping in Scotland. This Arabella will be a plus size! Probably plenty of room for at least 5 big cabbages!!
