Penny is convinced you and I were separated at birth.
I, too have a case thing - especially camera cases (nine!) and briefcases (despite no longer having a job) and a stupidly expensive but seriously reduced small aluminium roller suitcase. It wouldn't be too bad if we didn't live in a small flat and a small cottage. All I want for Christmas is storage space....
Oh dear. This describes my life perfectly. I'm always looking for the next best thing in travel gear; the husband and I have upgraded from softside roller luggage to hard side spinners, which is so much less stress, although we have sworn to never travel with a 28 inch bag ever again. My favorite everyday bag, ie purse, is the aptly named Everyday BAG from an American company, Baggalini. I have 3 in various colors, but I long for the good old days when I was working in NYC, and carried either a Kipling( sadly gone by the way) or my reversible ManhattanPortage tote, and boldly carried the orange side out. Bags. Obsessed. Not sorry. 😉 Here's to an early spring in Shetland!
My favourite in my collection of bags and rucksacks is a leather holdall that belongend to my Dad . It was a 21st birthday present from his family before he did his national service in the RAF as a lorry driver transporting bombs white phosperous flares and other nasty stuff from Lincolnshire to Stranraer to be dumped in The Irish sea . Occasionally he'd parkthe lorry fully loaded outside the family home at Temple ..... . I've used it since I was 14 for rugby work the gym and as carry on . Its been lost/stolen/found and is as scuffed and battered as Snake Plisskens jacket in Escape from New York . Needs a new zip and lining so if anybody knows where it could be repaired in Glasgow , please let me know .

So late with my 'stacks, sorry. I was holding out for 'Handbags and Gladrags' which, of course, is on 'An Old Raincoat won't ever let you down'...
