A Chanel bag will retain its value if you want to sell it to a vintage shop. I’ve got Chanel bags from the 1980s and they have that fashion heritage aspect.

I was a very unpredictable child. I’d pack a bag and go off and do a hike in the mountains for 10 days.
Life throws up enough road blocks to keep you from writing; you can’t be adding to them yourself by saying you can only write in one specific place. I’m in New York half the time and Texas half the time, and I work wherever – in my computer bag I have some foam ear plugs that I can put in.
I was bribed into starting swimming with the promise of sweets and by being told that you can win medals. My mum had given me a bag of medals which she had won when she was young, so the idea of winning medals was very exciting.

But there was no specific discussion when we came to make ‘Hypnotic Eye’ that were going to draw from a specific part of the well, because each song just comes in from wherever it comes. If it fits into a certain bag or feel, I think generally thats an accident!
My bag is always filled with food.
I don’t do the show business lifestyle, you’ll never see me rolling out of parties with a goody bag in my hand. My night out is a night in, with friends round for dinner.

During recess at school, I’d slip back into the classroom and find something in some other kid’s lunch bag that wouldn’t be missed – a package of crackers, an apple – and I’d gulp it down so quickly I would barely be able to taste it.
New Orleans invented the brown paper bag party – usually at a gathering in a home – where anyone darker than the bag attached to the door was denied entrance. The brown bag criterion survives as a metaphor for how the black cultural elite quite literally establishes caste along color lines within black life.
Anything that looks at sport in its entirety is my bag. It’s not just about bringing back medals, it’s about communities, people’s lives, how sport can make a difference.
I’d get a shell, they weighed about 80 pounds I think, but when I was 19 or 20 that was nothing. I’d take a shell and a bag of powder, I’d put it in the hoist and then I would send it up to the gun.
I hate that there’ll be moments in my day and I’ll be patting down my legs trying to find my phone. I hate how anxious it makes me feel when I don’t have it.

I travel so much for work that when I fly, I prefer to travel light and bring a carry-on bag that I don’t need to check.
I don’t like the taste of alcohol very much so I rarely drink unless I’m on a night out with my friends. Plus, I’ve found that alcohol can trigger anxiety and your skin looks better without it. I’d rather have a bag of Haribo sweets!
My bag explodes with clothes all over my hotel room floor every day.
I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they’re versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.
My dad would let me leave work an hour early if I had a game. I’d drive back an hour to Bournemouth, get my bag ready and be off to the game for a half six meet – so on a Tuesday it was a rush.
I think its important to be able to wear flats during the day and then if you’d decide, ‘that’s it, we’re going to stay out now for the rest of the day’, you can have a pair of heels in your bag and your outfit will still look good. Something that’s day-to-night.
Think about what happens on Earth when you throw up. You throw up and you have a bag of something horrible and then you throw it away, but if I have this bag, what am I going to do with it? This bag is going to stay with me in space for months, so we want a really good barf bag.
It’s about the characters, it’s about the film, it’s about the process of making stunning visuals and a huge, epic movie. It doesn’t matter if my head was covered in a black plastic bag and I was bouncing around in a space hopper: That’s the villain of Chris Nolan’s ‘Batman!’
Some people are drawn naturally – there are natural guitarists, and there are natural piano players, and I think guitar implies travel, a sort of footloose gypsy existence. You grab your bag and you go to the next town.
A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.
In the past 3-4 years I’ve developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I’m able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.
I sleep at night; I do not think about anything. I put everything in my bag and go to sleep. Whatever you can do to me, it does not affect me. I started my life, my own life. I did not inherit it.

I was teased if I brought my books home. I would take a paper bag to the library and put the books in the bag and bring them home. Not that I was that concerned about them teasing me – because I would hit them in a heartbeat. But I felt a little ashamed, having books.
Invest in a couple of really good things – a great, classic coat; a good pair of shoes; and a timeless bag – then fill in the gaps with lower-priced pieces.
Don’t go into any store that features shopping bags that can stand on their own accord in the middle of a table. This sort of shopping bag denotes prices that will start chipping into your children’s college education fund. Avoid it.
I’ve always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.
I take the same Timberland holdall wherever I go, stuffed with all my gear. Or a Louis Vuitton weekender my wife bought me. I’d never have a bag that you wheel; they get in the way.
