In Support of Bag Lady Bags

In Support of Bag Lady Bags

Written by Katrina Garofalo

Purses come in many shapes and sizes, some of which are more popular than others and all of which have pros and cons. For the past while, micro-bags have been all the rage since they are cute, easy to carry, and motivate you to go after that #minimalist life. There is, however, something to be said about the practicality that bigger handbags offer that just can’t be beat.

Call us overdramatic, but we are fully on team Bag Lady Bags. After years of sacrificing everyday necessities in the name of style, we’re drawing a line in the sand. The metaphorical purse-size sand. Sure, big bags can be a little cumbersome. Maybe they aren’t the most stylish for a night out. But man, oh, man do they make are they better for everyday.

Without a doubt, larger totes are more suited for day-to-day life. If you’ve ever had the moment where you realized you couldn’t shove all your essentials into that leather clutch, you know exactly what I mean. Nothing else affords you the luxury of being able to carry a cardigan, phone charger, book (or two), snacks, a bottle of water, an umbrella, your actual full-sized wallet, and a small makeup bag for touch-ups when you need them. And still have space for winter necessities like hand cream, gloves, and a scarf.

Besides being much more practical than their tiny counterparts, carry-all’s are once again a fresh choice in a world of micro-minis. There is certainly appeal in the look of a big slouchy bag perched on the shoulder of a duster coat, or tucked under the arm of a wool cocoon wrap. It’s a cozy look, and keeps you stocked with anything you might need at a moment’s notice.

No cons in sight.
