- 11.7″ inches high x 12.9″ inches wide x 5.5″ inches deep
- Smooth leather with matching trim
- Capital Kate Jacquard lining, 14-karat light gold plated hardware
- Top handle bag with zip top closure
- Interior zip pocket and double slide pockets
Also included is a $25 gift card to Amazon! You need to fill up your new bag, right?

Though not required, traveling with this bag is encouraged, especially to the beach or maybe a delicious brunch.

Thanks to everyone who commented, and may you always have a book in your bag!
Aside from the true essentials (ID, money, phone), I never leave the house without sunglasses and chapstick. They’re completely essential for surviving the hot, sunny days where I live!
My credit card
That’s easy, my Kindle!
Chapstick and my cell phone!
I make sure I have my cardholder, which has my ID, debit card, and health insurance card in it.
Well, there are the obvious things – my wallet, phone, and keys, but other than that? Well, I have a list:
-painkillers and allergy meds. Because.
-something to read (though sometimes, this is just my phone and kindle app)
-earbuds
-pen and bullet journal (or at least something paperish, just in case)
-chapstick
-sunglasses
I’m sure there are more things, but those are the most important. And this is why I tend to carry larger tote-style bags……. ^___^
Wallet, keys, phone, water bottle (half spilled), paracetamol, empty box of sultanas, a single pink baby sock, a metal flip-lid container of mints that doubles as a rattle, hand sanitiser, six receipts and a half-sucked lollipop. At least I assume I need them because they are inevitably in my bag.
I never leave home without a book, of course!
I never leave without my Kindle Paperwhite.
Earbuds, wallet, and lipgloss!
I’ve always got my phone
I never go anywhere without my keys, phone and kindle!
I’m the only person I know who still carries an iPod everywhere, but I love it so much more than the giant phone I ordered by mistake, lol.
After ID and debit card, lip gloss!
Hand lotion and lip balm
Other than phone (which always has a ebook loaded and ready) and wallet. I always carry floss, Kleenex and nail clippers. Love the tote color btw.
a water bottle. always. that’s what you get for growing up in a desert
I’m an over-planner, so I don’t even carry a purse unless I have to go to a work meeting. I carry a backpack and always have wallet, chapstick, advil, tampons, an address book, phone charger, head lamp, pen, snack, water, and a notebook. Yes. That makes me a total dork.
Wallet!
My phone, a clip to pull back my hair, and apparently a million or so Target and grocery store receipts.
Lip balm, sunglasses and wireless headphones.
Wallet, of course. Then there’s lip balm. I’d feel naked without (applying) it. Oh, and a folded umbrella, because it rains often here.
My mother gave me a super-useful purse organizer that I can just transfer from bag to bag, with everything I need in it– it’s great!
I always have some kind of nuts in my purse in case I or my dear bottomless pit of a child get hungry.
I always, always,ALWAYS have my kindle in my purse….and, usually, it’s even charged!
I never leave home without my 3DS! Gotta get those play coins and streetpassess!
Dog poop bags. Nothing else is as essential! I think the bag is seafoam.
my kindle always
A reusable grocery bag. Compacts into a little ball and always there when I need it!
my kindle always!!
I never leave my house without lip balm and baby wipes.
Chapstick/lip gloss
A book and ear buds(so I can list to an audio book or podcast while at work)
Yarn, books, Burt’s Bees, plus wallet/phone/keys can all fit in this bag. Therefore: must have.
Like all the other bitches, aside from my wallet, keys, and phone, I always have Carmex and tissues with sunglasses a close third! I’d say that beautiful bag is teal 🙂
I guess wallet goes without saying, other than that, my phone! Thanks for sharing!
I always take my wallet and checkbook because it’s hard to go anywhere without money.
My book of the moment! And unfortunately this is how I have broken some purse straps!
library card
Chapstick, after wallet-phone-keys. Then Kleenex, mints, deodorant, umbrella, notepad, pens.
