We love our purses and what we put in them. Our purse contents make daily excursions and nightly adventures a lot easier to manage, but what exactly should we be keeping in there? More importantly, is there anything we should avoid holding inside our precious handbags?
When it comes to what to put inside a purse, here are the most important things you should have, from core essentials to items that are ideal to have on hand for life’s unexpected moments.
What To Carry In a Small Purse
If you prefer to zip around with a small purse, like a crossbody or a clutch, you’ll need to maximize every inch of space. Brahmin’s smaller handbags are smartly designed to provide ample room in their compact space, with interior compartments, zipped pockets, key clips, and more. Start with your most basic essentials.
- Keys and key fobs. You’ll need to open a door somewhere.
- Smartphone. This is where an exterior slide-in pocket comes in handy for the fastest access.
- Wallet. Brahmin features several designs, from slim bifolds and credit cardholders to sleek wristlet wallets.
- Lip Balm. Chapped lips are no fun. Have your favorite emollient on hand to keep your lips plumped.
What To Carry In A Large Purse
Who doesn’t like a bit more room? A larger handbag, like an oversized market tote, gives you plenty of spacious options to carry a lot more. It’s still important to keep everything organized, which is easy to do with Brahmin’s stylish accessories.

What Not To Carry In Your Purse
Brahmin’s handbags are sturdily constructed to handle your busy schedule, but there are some things you may want to take extra precautions with when putting them in your handbag. Oily substances could stain your bag, so avoid things like petroleum or certain beauty products that could damage your interior. If you have hand sanitizer, check to see that the cap is secure to avoid any mishaps inside your bag.
Big or small, Brahmin’s leather handbags have plenty of roomy interior and organizational solutions, so you can hold everything you need and be prepared for every excursion.
