The Best Doctor Bags

I love lots of different handbags, but the one I am always on the look out for is the perfect “doctor bag”.  Physician or not, anyone can rock these bags.

Before we dive into today’s doctor’s bags, lets take a look at the original doctor’s bag, called “The Gladstone bag”.  The Gladstone bag was made by J.G. Beard, a London leather dealer. He named it after William Gladstone, the British Prime Minister at the time (source – Australian Family Practice).

The bag opened widely at the top and allowed easy access for the tools inside.  From what used to be a man’s work tote, it has now become a women’s luxurious handbag!  The idea of the doctor’s bag is simple – a wide mouth at the top with ample storage and easy access to what’s inside.  No wonder I love it!

 

 

The Prada Spazzolato bag is one of my favorites – now discontinued.

    These handbags are so unique and very posh! I do so love the Chiarugi, Tod’s and my favorite Fossil bags. Unfortunately my handbags do sometimes get a bit overloaded, alas, wearing one of the above shows the lady has style. If I am able to get my hands on a real leather Doctor’s Bag, I am buying a ticket on the Orient Express, I think I would say to myself, woman, you have arrived. The bags are really lovely, chic and I think they do compliment a lady’s outfit. You do not have to spend a fortune on a handbag, a good quality “space” bag will do, provided it is something you enjoy wearing. This was a treat to read thanks for sharing.

      “If I am able to get my hands on a real leather Doctor’s Bag, I am buying a ticket on the Orient Express, I think I would say to myself, woman, you have arrived.” – oh my gosh, this made me chuckle!

    My Mom would love that bag with Mary Poppins on it. She loves that movie!
