Sorting out the unnecessary
The great thing about reorganizing your bag is that old receipts and other unnecessary items get tossed out. It’s also very helpful to keep things organized in a makeup bag or key pouch. That way, important little things like makeup and gum can be quickly transferred from one bag to another. Bigger items like your calendar, phone, and wallet are essentials everyone needs and should always be in the new bag.
Always have the essentials with you
We think a small snack like an apple or granola bar should never be missing from a bag! This way, you can quickly satisfy hunger or recharge on the go. Also, a small foldable shopping bag is a must-have if you want to quickly stop by the supermarket after work to keep your fridge stocked for the coming days. This not only saves money but also helps the environment! The umbrella protects you from sudden rain showers so you arrive dry at your destination. And of course, sunglasses are essential on sunny days—and super handy in the morning if you’re still fighting tired eyes.
Point 10 on our checklist can vary for every handbag lover. You surely know the feeling—everyone has that favorite accessory they always need to carry. Some things simply can’t be left behind—and that’s exactly how it should be!
As you can see, there are quite a few items that handbag carriers like us shouldn’t go without. That’s why it’s a good idea to switch bags or check their contents from time to time. We wish you lots of fun with your regular bag swaps!
