Some days call for more than just a smartphone and keys. These five bags will swallow everything you might otherwise have to leave at home - and show that style and storage space are by no means mutually exclusive.
You'd actually like to pack your water bottle. Maybe a book for the train journey, the toiletry bag with the usual everyday essentials. Headphones. Snacks. But your handbag teaches you to do without: Smartphone, wallet, bunch of keys. With a little skill, maybe even your sunglasses.
This can be quite liberating from time to time. Less stuff, less ballast. But there is a special peace of mind in being able to arm yourself for the small eventualities of everyday life. For spontaneous plans, for long days. Do you think so too, but you're still missing the right bag? Well, here are five models - all wonderfully spacious and stylish to boot.
1. one bag, three trends
Thanks to its wide but low silhouette, this shopper from JJXX looks surprisingly compact despite its spacious interior. At the same time, it combines several trends: East-West shape, chocolate brown (faux) suede and decorative buckles. There is also no lack of well thought-out details: press studs allow the shape to be adjusted to the fill level and rivets on the base protect the bag when it is put down. Genuine leather fans will not find what they are looking for here, but the coated polyurethane has its advantages: It is easy to care for and easy on the budget.
2. shape with vision
The «Mica» shopper from Liebeskind Berlin stands out with its distinctive trapezoidal shape. The sweeping silhouette not only looks interesting, but also creates plenty of space. Inside, a zip compartment and two slip pockets ensure that you can still keep an overview. And if the mauve-coloured suede isn't your thing, the model is available here in other styles.
3. XXL is written on it, XXL is inside
Hobo bags with their soft, crescent-shaped silhouette are definitely one of the coolest bag shapes. Their casual charm comes into its own even more when they are oversized - like this XXL bag from Comma. Its adjustable strap is practical and adds a stylish accent at the same time. In terms of colour, the model impresses with a beautiful contrast of dark brown and velvety caramel.

4. peepholes - but with a hiding place
The perforated pattern gives this Desigual shopper an eye-catching, almost graphic look. The removable nylon inner pocket is particularly practical, allowing you to safely store your belongings. Thanks to the two handle lengths, you can carry the bag either in your hand or over your shoulder. If white is too delicate for you, you can find the black version here.
5. elegant interplay
«Finn» from Coccinelle thrives on the mix of materials: beige canvas made from linen and cotton meets grained leather in a warm olive colour. The round handles with golden metal elements are positioned and knotted in such a way that soft folds form in the fabric - details that give the bag an elegant, sculptural silhouette. Incidentally, the light-coloured fabric is less delicate than you might expect: A water-repellent coating protects the material.
