does your handbag pass my practicality test?

I loathe carrying handbags. I think they’re a bother. When I shop for a handbag, it has to pass my practicality test because if and when I do carry it, it has to do its job, not just look pretty.
Here are my top 5 test questions. See if you agree with me.
Does it have a big mouth? Small tight mouths drive me nuts. I’m a busy mom and I’m not into carrying a chisel around to pry open my handbag every time I need to get something.
Does it have an adjustable strap? Too short and it becomes part of my armpit. Too long and a monkey could swing off it. I need to be in control here.
Will it hold everything I want it to hold? By that, I mean, will my entire house fit into it? Some women have only 3 items in their handbag - wallet, handphone and car keys. I applaud them but I’m not one of them, never have been, never will be, sorry.
Does it have multiple compartments, pockets, zippers, buckles? I’ll have mine plain vanilla please. Experience tells me it’s the last pocket in a handbag that holds what I’m looking for. I’m not Houdini and I’m not into guessing games. I need to know where everything is NOW!
Can it stand on its own? I detest spineless handbags as much as I detest spineless people. Don’t get me started. Just give me a bag that doesn’t require me to have four hands - two to hold it up and two to rummage inside.
I can live with a few quirks here and there. But if a handbag does not pass this test, it’s out my window.
