Re: IDEAL SIZE OF HANDBAG

[ Edited ]

I only carry a small crossbody. 9x6 or smaller. I only carry 6 or 7 items. Sunglasses, a couple of aspirin, keys, chapstick, phone and Kleenex. If the purse has credit card slots I can eliminate the credit card case.

I too go to a smaller bag 90% of the tme, right now my bag is a larger than normal bag, it's easier for me when we're traveling.

I almost ordered this bag in a different color, thinking it beautiful but then noticed the depth isn't as significant as I like. Things tend to pile up in narrow bags and I don't like having to search. They also can look misshapen when carrying even minimally bulky items. Still, a pretty purse.

I also like a small lightweight bag most of the time.

 

I carry: my phone, key fob, mini packet of tissues, two lipsticks and small wallet. 

 

If it's raining I will use a slightly larger bag to hold a small umbrella.

For me, this is the sweetspot for a ideal size of a tote or satchel bag.

You are ready for anything with what you have in your purse!

 

I've gone smaller as some others too to keep the weight down.  Recently bought this MZ WALLACE Tote 9.5"x8.25"x4".  Size works great for me, don't carry a lot any longer.

@SharkE What are you carrying around girl? Woman Surprised 

 

I take sun glasses, 3 wipes, credit card and id case, small nail file, and Tylenol in a packet.  The biggest item is car keys 'cause of that no-key thing.  

 

I could pack for the weekend in something as big as pictured.  Woman LOL


what do you carry those items in?
