ode to the TRIM!

[JRTgal]

Dear JRTgal, thank you so much!! But this is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Would never have thought that this comparatively flat bag can hold that much... Wow!! So, she is not only breathtakingly pretty she is a very practicable little darling on top!! Am really impressed!!

Come, darling! Be my twin!!

This is for you, dear Sammy Royal! All this lives in my Trim with room for more:

Thanks for posting this, JRTgal. It's a great reference for those studying the Trims and those who've already acquired one. There are less than a handful of photos in this thread that can be used to decide which Trim size and style one should consider based on the amount of stuff one needs to carry in a Trim.

What about starting a thread on What fits in your Trim(s)?

You are so welcome, stillfabulous! I'm not sure about starting another thread but perhaps other Trim owners would oblige on this thread? It certainly would be helpful to those in the hunt and undecided about size.

So, ladies....what fits in your Trims??? Would you show us? Pretty please?!

Wow, Seton! I'm impressed you get a water bottle in a 31 but the gusset must make the difference. I'm all set with my Trim I 35 but maybe stillfabulous would like a pic of yours?

 

[seton]

You want it with water bottle?? I am so confused.

Eeek! So sorry to confuse, Seton. I suggested pics in an attempt to help out stillfabulous who indicated interest in what Trim owners can carry in their Ts of various sizes. I had already posted a pic of my TI 35 contents up thread and I suppose, if you were so inclined, a pic of your 31 and what you carry in it might be helpful to her and others.

I hope that's clearer and my apologies!:shame:

ok then. stillfabulous, what would u carry in a Trim if u got one? LMK and I will try to fit all in my Trim.

Seton, you are an angel to share a photo with us! And to take a custom request! Many thanks.

I am never without a water bottle, that is a must-have for me because I constantly hydrate, plus need to take certain tablets on a schedule. My tablets fit in a tiny tin (a bit smaller than a mini-tin of Altoids, and half the height). So far, my musts are:

-tiny water bottle (smallest I've found is 330 ml (11.15 oz) FIJI)
-tiny tablet tin
-Calvi for my business cards
-Bastia for lady items (only on certain days of the month)
-small Silk'n for wallet (I could downsize to a second Calvi for space, if need be)
- Tohubohu PM pouch for cosmetics
- Ulysses mini (I could downsize this to a thinner pad of paper, perhaps Grain d'H PM lined pad would be thinner)
- tiny tape measure (same size as Hermes one, although I have yet to find one of those SLGs)
-narrow-ish Mont Blanc twist ballpoint pen
- iPhone 6
- sunnies
- Carmen key holder

I always use a purse organizer to protect the lining of my bags, and to give added structure to the bag. I would definitely want one for a Trim I (my preference; I'm leaning toward a 38 cm Trim 1) because of the lack of gusset and pockets. I've read all the purse insert threads, so I am quite familiar with the options. So far, I've found Purs'N inserts works well for me, although I have yet to verify measurements for a Trim I insert. It's likely I'll have to reassess for a bag with no gusset. I'm open to suggestions.

I've been carrying big bags for many years, but now, due to back issues from a couple of accidents, I am seeking out bags that are lighter and more back-friendly.

Thank you, JRTgal. I would love to see photos of what ladies can carry in their Trims. I prefer the Trim I, and would go as big as possible, up to Trim I 38.

JTgal, may I please know the name of the orange pouch you have next to your sunnies? I have a similar shaped one that is Longchamps, but I keep it at home. Maybe that would be a good piece for Trim I. It's bright pink, a color I don't have in my H rainbow yet.

I was able to fit all 12 items in my Gold Swift Trim 31. I made the following substitutions with something similiar size.

Hi stillfabulous -- That little orange pencil case has a label that reads "SR2" and I picked it out of a bin at Nordstrom Rack for under $10. A girl has her priorities and saves $$ where she can!

Understood, JRTgal, thank you so much! That looks like a nice size for cosmetic brushes. Does it happen to have a wipe-down lining? What do you keep in yours?
