Big handbags are and remain a mystery: you may have everything you need, but it's never at hand. In search of clues and how to put the bag in order.
The inside of my bag resembles a Bermuda Triangle. To always be able to deal with emergencies like sudden showers, headaches, a blocked nose or a dry throat, I put everything I might need in my bag in the morning. After all, it's no coincidence that I've got a big bag! When an emergency happens, the search begins: where's my lip balm or my key? I spend minutes rummaging through the depths of my bag until I finally find what I'm looking for - if I'm lucky. Since I've implemented a storage system, I can find everything in a jiffy. Let me show you how.
The magic word is called....
...Bag organiser in different sizes. I have one for little beauty emergencies. This holds aspirin, plasters and eye drops. I also have a larger kit with all the things I always need, whatever the size of the bag. The latter contains lip balm, tissues and headphones - without them I'm lost. My make-up stuff is tucked away in another bag. Tip: As the inside of a bag is quite dark, opt for bright colours when choosing your essentials. The more colourful they are, the better. Plus, it will help you differentiate them. Large items such as my umbrella, wallet or water bottle are stored loose. My key and mobile phone, on the other hand, are stored in the side pocket of the bag. Since I started using this system, I've been able to find everything straight away and know where to look for what I need. [[product:9242677]] [[productlist:10121774,6514506,10036126]]
To sum up:
- a toiletry kit for emergencies (plasters, tampon, eye drops, concealer)
- an everyday kit (tissues, lip balm, earphones, hand cream)
- if necessary: a small beauty kit for your make-up
- Keys and phone slip into the side pocket of the bag
- large items such as a wallet, water bottle and umbrella can be stored loose
