Thinking of starting a separate thread - “What’s in my H Bag 2023 edition” and curious to see how members load up their bags - ovestuffed mini’s or echo-ey maxi’s - or just right… I for one only carry 2 phones, wallet or card case, keys, lippy and a pair of sunnies…happy to hear that WHO has officially declared end to the pandemic - making face masks and sanitisers optional carry… but then again some folks might be “packing” a security device/weapon of sorts - unpopular opinion perhaps, or inconvenient truth for some… and then there’s lifestyle factors like babies’ nappies/toys/snacks, work laptop/tablets or travel passports/ chargers/toiletries/change of clothes… will start separate thread once I’ve taken pics of my own….
Please do share here :flowers:

Don’t get me wrong, I love this Saut 25 as I need a small bag for keys, calvi and tissue for when I want to look pretty and don’t want to stuff these items in various jacket pockets. But I admire those who like mini bag. I tried tetrising for an hour and about to give up.

I plan to use this for travel and I cannot fit everything I need. The little pouch will have to go so that I can fit in 2 passports with sleeves, car key, calvi duo, small coin pouch, sunglasses, a pack of tissue.

I can squeeze in my phone maybe but that might take another half an hour.. :whut:

So frustrating. I find I just don’t want to work that hard. :no:

@Helventara I believe "mini" is different for different style bags:smile:. A mini for evening and for travel needs to hold different things for me. If a mini bag for travel can't hold my essentials it's a no for me. I made sure everything I needed fit into the Della before I decided to purchase it. The Evelyne tpm fits a bit less but still enough to hold my essentials when travelling. But I also have a small phone that will fit anywhere even in a small pocket.

It’s too much effort for me but I was also being dramatic
:biggrin:


I have taken other H bags for long trips and I feel now it’s Saut's turn. Usually I take my larger bags but since this is a road trip, the Saut would be nice. I am looking forward to getting to know this bag better.

@PrayersandPurses Good point about small stuffs. i guess my stuffs are geared towards bigger bags because I've never felt the need to change. So fitting them into a mini bag is obviously looking for trouble.
 
Cross-posting my post from the Mini Lindy thread...

It’s actually deceptively capacious for a mini bag!

For me, I carry the following in my Mini Lindy:
1) Coach x Disney Maleficent wristlet pouch - which contains credit cards, wet wipes, lip balm, travel perfume spray, and a power bank
2) Louis Vuitton Round Coin Purse - which contains my cables
3) Fulton Tiny 2 Umbrella
4) Packable reusable nylon bag (to protect the bag in inclement weather and also for plastic-free shopping moments)
5) Alessi bag hook
6) Bang & Olufsen wireless earphones
7) Louis Vuitton sunglasses

What I can carry in the Mini Kelly 20 now fits my lifestyle perfectly as opposed to when I was working at the clinics and used mainly B30s and K28s.
All I need for every day in Asia (where we are currently temporarily based) are wet wipes, tissues, lipstick, Calvi for cards and Enveloppe for cash. Home access key card fits in Calvi and there's no need for car keys as we have a driver. My phone also fits, using an old model as illustration as my current phone is being used for the photos. Having space for my phone is a prerequisite for any bag I buy.
When I travel back to Europe, I do not need to carry cash, and my passport fits instead. HTH!
