Are you someone who carries their entire life in their handbag? Endless reams of receipts, junk, bent sunglasses, keys, crumbs (why are there so many crumbs!.?) And what about toys and crayons if the kids have been playing near your bag> These miscellaneous items often find their way into your little bag, making it heavy, cumbersome, and even a little bit embarrassing.
Deciding to ditch the junk and focus on only carrying the essentials around with you will certainly make your life easier and it means you’re less likely to feel frantic as you search for your purse in line at the supermarket.
So, what items do you need to banish, and which one should take priority? Read on to discover which items should be in your minimalist handbag.
Luxury hand sanitiser
Despite lockdown restrictions being eased, it’s still important that we look after ourselves and minimise the likelihood of spreading germs and bacteria. This is why carrying Purdy & Figg hand sanitiser spray in your minimalist handbag is essential. Not only will you get the 99% protection you want from your hand sanitiser, but you’ll also enjoy a spray that’s infused with essential oils, designed to protect, heal and soften your hands. Keeping your hands clean and smelling incredible is easy – and the best part? These sprays come in various sizes so they’ll easily fit into your handbag, making them the perfect addition to your minimalistic approach.
Your face mask
No one should leave home without one, or even a spare. Carrying around your facemask means you can enter public places and shops without issue. Protecting yourself and those around you from Covid-19. To keep your mask clean and fresh, consider keeping it in a small case or zip pouch for safekeeping.
Smartphone and headphones
Of course, there should be room in your bag for your smartphone, but don’t forget to bring along a small set of headphones or earbuds. Whether you want to take a call, listen to a podcast or pass the time on public transport, you’ll be glad you made room for them in your minimalist bag.

Your sunglasses
The weather is pretty unpredictable right now, so having a pair of trusty sunglasses to hand makes sense. Even overcast days can be bright and leave you squinting and feeling uncomfortable. Protect your eyes by keeping a pair of UV protective sunglasses (and a case) in your bag.
A reusable water bottle
We should all be reducing our reliance on plastic, so having a reusable water bottle in your handbag will ensure you can quench your thirst and protect the planet at the same time. Also, drinking lots of water is a great way to work on becoming a healthier you. Swap that bottle for a reusable coffee cup to use when you head to your favourite coffee shop.
And finally, your keys
Whether you have keys for your home, your car, your parent’s house, the garage, your second car or your family business jostling about in your handbag, reduce confusion by putting them all on one ring and colour coding them with different covers. This will keep things simple and reduce the chaos in your bag!
