Well, you're in for a treat because today, I'm giving you a peek inside my Jacquemus bag! Get ready to see the essentials (and maybe a few surprises) that I carry around in this iconic accessory. Let's dive right in and explore the world of tiny bags and their surprisingly useful contents.
The Allure of the Jacquemus Bag
Jacquemus bags have become synonymous with high fashion and minimalist chic. Known for their bold designs and often petite sizes, these bags are more than just accessories; they're statements. The appeal lies in their ability to elevate any outfit, adding a touch of French sophistication and playful elegance. But let's be real, the size does make you wonder: what can you actually fit inside? Are they practical, or are we sacrificing functionality for fashion? This is the question that always comes to mind, how can I look fashionable and keep all my essentials? Well, let's get down to it and see what is actually inside my bag.
My Jacquemus Bag Essentials
Okay, so here’s the inside scoop on what I actually carry in my Jacquemus bag. It's all about being strategic and prioritizing the absolute necessities. No room for extras here!
1. The Cardholder
First up, and arguably the most crucial item: a slim cardholder. Forget bulky wallets; they simply won't fit. I opt for a sleek cardholder that holds my ID, credit card, and a little bit of cash. This is the 21st century, so I always carry a card with me wherever I go, even if it's just to the shop! Keeping it minimalist is key to saving space and staying organized within the confines of a small bag. Choose one with multiple slots for optimal organization. I would suggest not to carry too many cards, it might be difficult to take out the cards and place them back in.
2. Lipstick or Lip Balm
A girl's gotta keep her lips hydrated and looking fresh! A small lipstick or lip balm is a must-have. I usually go for a moisturizing lip balm with a hint of color to keep my lips feeling soft and plump, especially with the weather recently! It's amazing to see how lipsticks can elevate the whole outfit with the right color. I am absolutely in love with this one from Sephora, but there are a lot of other choices. I am sure you can find a color that fits you the best.
3. Keys
Of course, I need my keys! I have a compact key ring that holds my house key and car key. To save even more space, you can use a keychain with a minimalist design or opt for a single key holder. There are a lot of keychains on the market, and I am sure you can find one that fits you the best! I found one on Amazon that is super cute and it's pink! A girl cannot live without some cute accessories.
4. Hand Sanitizer
In today's world, hand sanitizer is non-negotiable. I carry a small, travel-sized bottle to keep my hands clean and germ-free on the go. Hygiene is super important, so I am glad that the world has found a way to make it more available for everybody. My hands tend to get really dry, so I always pick one that contains ingredients to keep my hands smooth. I saw some that smell really good too, you should definitely check them out!
5. Sunglasses
Even if the sun isn't blazing, sunglasses are a stylish essential. They protect your eyes and add a cool factor to any outfit. I usually wear bigger sunglasses, but for the bag, I try to find a pair that is not too big so it does not take too much space. I found a pair on Shein for 5 bucks, can you believe it? They are super cute and do the job.
6. A Compact Mirror
A compact mirror is perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day. Whether you need to check your lipstick or make sure your hair is in place, a small mirror is a lifesaver. It has definitely helped me so many times during the day to keep myself looking presentable. One time I had something in my teeth, and I was so thankful that I had my mirror with me! You never know!
7. Portable Charger
With such a small bag, a huge portable charger is out of the question. However, I found a lipstick-size portable charger on Amazon, and it has been a lifesaver. If you are like me and spend a lot of time on your phone, a charger is a must! This charger is small but it can fully charge your phone once, which is more than enough to save you. It exists in a lot of colors, so you should be able to find one that you like!
Tips for Maximizing Space
Now that you know what I carry, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your Jacquemus bag:
- Prioritize: Only carry the absolute essentials. Leave anything non-essential at home.
- Downsize: Opt for smaller versions of your favorite products, such as travel-sized toiletries and slim cardholders.
- Organize: Use small pouches or organizers to keep your items neatly arranged and easy to find.
- Fold Items: For anything that can be folded, like a small shopping bag, make sure to fold it as small as possible.
The Verdict: Fashion Meets Functionality
So, can you actually carry anything useful in a Jacquemus bag? The answer is yes, but with a strategic approach. While it may not be the most practical bag for everyday use, it's perfect for occasions when you want to make a fashion statement without being weighed down by a bulky bag. By prioritizing your essentials and choosing compact versions of your must-have items, you can rock this iconic accessory with confidence and style. In my opinion, it is all about knowing what you want and finding a way to put it all together, which is what I tried to do with this bag. Even though it is really small, I found a way to keep my essentials with me without having a huge bag.
