When you look for your next purse do girls usually look more for bigger or smaller bags.

I’m definitely into the smaller bags thing. I’m very minimalist on what I usually Carry if it wasn’t for my need to always carry my sunglasses I could live with a Wallet on a chain.
My essentials to carry on are: my sunglasses, Coin purse which works for me as a mini wallet, one lipstick and my phone.
Sometimes a hairband too.

But really I rearly need a tote or similar maybe only when I travel to carry my tablet but for every day I can go with medium to small bags.

What about you girls?
 
I like small to medium-sized bags. Not so tiny I can't fit my iPod and a slim sunglass case, but not so big that everything is rattling around inside. The largest I want to go when considering a bag is around 10x10", and then it has to have a slim profile.
 
I like bigger bags but I also have two young kids so like to be able to throw in some diapers and cups and not have to take a full diaper bag all the time. I usually only take a small bag if I’m just going out on a date with my husband.
 
For my everyday life/workdays, larger medium size. I want all my stuff to fit in my bag to I don't have to lug a purse, lunch cooler and my empty takeaway coffee cup separately.
 
From a visual perspective, I prefer medium to large size bags. I like the look of a large slouchy bag. But those tend to get overstuffed with things I might need, but most likely won't and can do without, and get unbearingly heavy. So lately, I've been trying to get used to carrying less stuff with me, and thus wear smaller bags.

I also like to have room in my bags. Don't really know why. I don't mind it when the bag I'm carrying is half-empty. So that too keeps me away from small bags.

Hi!
I love medium to large and those are best for my day to day. I don’t carry too much, but I like to bring a small water bottle and a sunglass case most days. If I am heading out for dinner, yes, I always grab something small :)
 
I love a smaller bag when I'm just running a few quick errands. I'm actually just starting to embrace the medium/large bags and it is nice to have extra room to pack stuff in when needed. Most of my collection is smaller bags of contemporary designers. But all my premium designer bags are medium to large.
 
Even though I'm a mum to a toddler, I'm still drawn to small bags. I'm only 5 foot so big bags look dumb on me. My biggest bag is the Neverfull MM but other than that I go LV bb sizes or even smaller.

Medium to large is best for me. Some stuff I have in my bag just because I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get the item so I probably could get away with a smaller bag.
 
I like small to medium size bags. I don't like to carry too much, only the essentials (wallet, keys, phone, chapstick, and hand lotion), so I typically lean towards crossbody/shoulder bags.

I do use a larger bag for work to carry my laptop and documents and for when I'm traveling.
 
Small to medium. I like mini bags, too, as long as they fit my phone. After my oldest got to middle school, I slowly started giving away my large bags. I have one large tote for work which carries everything I need including my handbag.
 
I prefer small/tiny bags. Ever since switching from a huge full sized wallet to a Chanel card holder as my daily wallet a few years ago, I can carry some of the smaller bags like the LV nanos as a daily bag.

I also swapped out my bulky 6-key holder for a slim Orbitkey organizer.

I would prefer if the bag can fit my Kobo eReader but since I can read on my phone app it’s not a big deal if I need to leave it behind once in awhile.

I do have larger bags which are handy if I have a light jacket with me that I wear in the morning but is too hot for the afternoon, but those bags are mostly empty if I carry it on a regular day. I also don’t like how a bigger bag looks on me and I’m 5’7”.

I don’t work in a role that requires me to bring papers/files home and if I need to take my laptop home I put it in a neoprene sleeve that I carry. I rarely put my laptop in my designer bags.
