A handbag is a vital part of a woman’s arsenal. All of us rely on them to house the essentials we need from day to day, but what constitutes as an essential varies wildly from woman to woman. I snooped inside three handbags to see what their owners couldn’t go anywhere without…
ASOS Metallic Quilted Clutch Bag

‘My handbag essentials are: Nivea SOS lip balm, Ray-Bans, Marc Jacobs wallet, iPod, an Anya Hindmarch red lips pouch for my mini Daschund Noodle’s poo bags, a comb, my Blackberry, a camera for blogging, an Aspinal of London keyring and my Smythson diary.‘

‘I always have a lipstick on me (either by MAC or Laura Mercier) and MAC blotting film. I also always have oversized sunglasses, my kindle, a nail polish for touch-ups, Vita Coco Coconut water and Biotherm sunscreen in a high factor for my face.’
Liberty London Oxblood Kingley Backpack

‘I don’t go out without my iPod shuffle, iPhone and some earphones with a microphone, so I can switch from listening to having a conversation. I also take my Mulberry wallet and Wrigley’s spearmint gum and sunnies – usually Ray-Ban aviators because the case is small enough to fit in my bag! I have my eye on a purple satchel which would solve the problem and even fit my macbook in! In terms of make-up, I have my Mother Pucker lipgloss by Soap & Glory, Stila Cream Blush (which is great because it isn’t a powder so the mirror stays clear) and MAC’s Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer.’
