What is a minimalist handbag setup? Most of us carry around way more things than we need to in our handbag. In this short video I share what my minimalist handbag set up looks like, plus the bags I use for different purposes (work, going out etc).
A few principles that saves a lot of space:
- Declutter your wallet! Only carry the cards you absolutely need for day to day use. I use a free app called Stocard (not affiliated or sponsored!) for all my membership and discount cards so I don’t have to keep them in my wallet, and instead they live in an app in my phone.
- Empty your bag weekly. However hard we try to, it’s easy for tissues, receipts and other things to float around in the bag and clutter things up. Clean it out regularly and save your shoulders carrying around things you don’t need!
- Use different pockets to organise things. If your bag does not have a lot of internal pockets you can use little dividers or event ziplock bags to divide things up inside the bag and make things easier to find.
