A birkin is not an evening bag, so it never goes out to dinner with me. Brunch/lunch/coffee yes, and it goes on a chair or on the floor. It's a tote bag.


I never said it was a Birkin. It is a Kelly. But people are missing the point - what do owners of other pricey bags do with them when not a clutch or crossbody - Chanel flap, Delvaux, Celine, whatever.


No birkin here and I think I started this thread back in 2022. I sit my Celine’s on a chair or like the other PP my lap/legs. I do not however request a separate chair for my bag. I recall a thread about that!

While having lunch in a popular chain restaurant in a nice section of dc, a guy lifted my wallet out of my zipped purse while it was hanging on the chair back and at my side. He was so fast I only noticed when it grabbed it and then ran. The only safe place is in my lap.

I put mine in my lap or lock my knees and put the strap over them and hold it between my calves. (sideways if that makes sense).

No issue with this product but my bag is heavier than 8 lbs and I'm too busty to wear these weird belt bags/fanny packs/city bags that wrap around your body. I'd never find crap if I had to look/feel under my boobs for it.
