I’m a bit like Mary Poppins when it comes to how much I can fit in my Prada tote bag!
What’s in my bag is an good old YouTube favorite. They say you can tell a lot about a woman by what’s in her bag so here’s everyday bag essentials! Yes, it’s inspired by the Vogue In The Bag series! I mean, who does fashion better than Vogue!? I have the black Prada saffiano tote bag for a reason (or 5). Firstly, I love the classic, structured look. It’s also durable and has lasted me over a decade. It’s big enough for my tripod and light, has 2 big zippered pockets and an optional shoulder strap. I’m actually considering getting it in more colors as I’ve worn this handbag to pretty much it’s last legs. So here’s what’s in my purse.

What’s in my bag | Everyday essentials 2024
What’s in my black Prada tote bag right now:
- Phone
- Keys
- Oversized sunglasses – a 365 must have
- Stevia for my tea and coffee when they don’t have sugar free syrup.
- Tripod, bluetooth camera remote and light.
- Cartier card holder for my credit cards and ID. It’s less bulky than a wallet and easy to fit in my evening bags.
- Mini perfume.
- SPF setting spray.
- Lipstick and liner (I find lip color bleeds without a liner and like a crisp outline).
- Tissues.
- Boots eye allergy mist as my eyes are always streaming. My sister got me this allergy spray from Boots and it’s a life saver. As you can spray it over makeup rather than making them run more with eye drops.
