Top five pet hates about handbags
Added: (Sat Aug 05 2006)
Dodgy zips, flimsy linings and not enough compartments are all things we love to hate about handbags, a survey undertaken by Nina Ess has found.
Over 100 women aged 20-35 were asked to rate their top five pet hates about handbags. The results saw surprising comments with people wishing bags had a place for their umbrella and mobile phone, plus a hide-away for discreet items. A top favourite is a desire for bags to have a lining in a bright colour, to make fumbling around for keys easier. The top five pet hates from the survey are:
1. Dodgy zips.
2. Straps that can’t be adjusted.
3. Not enough compartments/pockets.
4. Flimsy lining that tears easily.
5. Bags which look cheap and tacky.
