Which Team Are you On? PLG

This question about bag security versus easy of use delivered some interesting and quite varied responses. The question was specific to #portlandleathergoods bags, but I believe the topic is relevant to all bag lovers.

    Which do you prefer? Zip or No Zip? Or flap? Or Magnet? Or like me...all of the above LOL

    And then there are totes such as the Coach Willow which has a thrice closure: zipper, turnlock, and magnet, plus feet! I'm team strong magnet with feet, for totes and handbags, with a zippered pocket inside for extra security! Great video, Eva! Loved everyone's reasoning! Aw, Charlie! Love you, little guy! 💖

    I love a zipper, but very rarely close it. I guess I like having the option. If I was in a crowd, I would zip up the bag. I think I need to “zip my lips” a bit more often. Great video. Very well done.

    Great subject and good points. I live in S. CA. I was visiting Mexico many years back. My bag was open and I was pick pocketed. I did recover my wallet. I am now on my way to New Orleans in a few days so thanks for the reminder that my stuff in side my bag needs to be kept safe. I mostly wear flap bags with turn lock closures. 🔐

    I have had my purse spill all over my car floor on more than one occasion when I stopped short….. and that makes me infuriated. Therefore I zip. Further I once was pickpocketed in San Francisco when I threw my wallet ontop of an unzipped tote, and someone jostled me on a bus. From then on i zip religiously when traveling and I want that option.

    These responses were so good, especially the kitten! 😊. I am of both thoughts. If I’m going somewhere that I would be concerned about theft, I use a bag with a zipper or flap when possible. Otherwise, I like an open tote. I’m had plenty of those car spills, but it hasn’t stopped me from wanting an open tote.

    This is an awesome, well thought out video! I loved the comments from both sides and I can see both sides because it’s valid points on both sides. However, I’m more team zipper. I do tuck the tail of the zipper in to the side of the bag. I love magnetic closures as well such as the coach Lori which has zipper in the middle. I also love a flap such as the coach Cassie. I just don’t like when contents of the bag are exposed. That’s why I need a closure vs open tote. That would drive me nuts!

    This is an interesting debate because I was just looking at totes on PLG's site recently... saw the Bacalar tote was available, but not with a zipper unless I wanted the large size. And I wanted the smaller, so the no zip was my only option. Plus, I figure if I don't snap up a Bacalar-colored tote now I'll miss out, and I love that particular shade. Their totes are deep enough that I don't worry about pickpockets as I already have a medium in Oxblood, but when I go for the Mini Crossbody (still on the fence about that one) I'll probably go for a zipper because I don't like how the snap looks on the outside of the bag. Aesthetics! Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    Fun video! Love the kitten story. I left a bag open on the floor once and one of my cats peed in it 😱 😂 Luckily it wasn’t a luxury bag but a very cheap one - but even so! And that one had a zip and I hadn’t zipped it up 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway I think I am team zip or ‘team some form of closure’ - it’s probably why my open totes don’t get as much use as my other bags x

    I prefer a zipper.. but am particular about the zipper features (quality, color, placement, length, etc.) I would rather have no zipper than a zipper that is cheap or scratchy, mismatched color or metal, too short and leaves odd gaps, and so on. I am kind of choosy about most features.. 🤷‍♀ ~Mia 💜
