Do you belong to a bag lovers group or are you a minimalist at the core? I used to be a bag hoarder đ I feel really bad about it, but by building my minimalist capsule wardrobe I donât need to keep swapping bags around and forget all the necessary stuff in the one from the previous day. You know that hassle right? After years I managed to curate my handbag collection aka capsule wardrobe to only 4 bags + a rucksack for travelling. Are you curious how I did it? Keep reading about my minimalist capsule handbag collection.

Minimalist Capsule Handbag Collection
I used to have many purses in different colours until I realized that most of the time, I generally wear only one purse. Therefore, I now tend to purchase purses that are classic and simple in design, which allows me to use them until it starts falling apart at which point I will go on a long search for a new one. This process allows my bag to become a piece of wearable art.
Everyday Large Tote Bag
Do you have a bag that goes with anything? Maybe itâs an everyday tote you always take with you everywhere, or perhaps even an on-the-go style that doesnât necessarily require much room, but can fit the basics for a day out without having to worry about running out of space. My most worn handbag is definitely my large black leather tote! I wear it everywhere and absolutely love it because I know I can fit all of my necessities inside of it and still have some room open if I need it. This handbag switches up my look easily, especially when travelling or going out at night â which is why itâs quickly become one of my most used bags since getting it.

 Straw Basket Bag
Aww, you canât even imagine how much I wanted that basket bag. I was dreaming about getting one for many years. Until last year, when I did all my research on the size, quality and handles I finally purchased the dream basket bag. And I couldnât be happier. It is the second most worn bag. Actually, I can easily say itâs my everyday summer bag & I love it so much that I would love to wear it in the winter as well but at least I take it to wellness retreats & occasionally for shopping. The straw basket bag is a stunning piece of art that is also very durable and has leather handles which make it look like more of an expensive item. If youâve been here for a while, then you know I prefer handmade pieces and the basket bag is definitely one of them. Iâve been waiting forever for it to arrive â but all the wait was worth it because, for any mum with small kids, I just canât recommend this enough! It fits so much fun stuff from snacks to crayons to toys and clothes that they keep throwing on you once they are busy running around.
Little Crossbody Bag
Little crossbody bags have always been a part of my life and Iâm glad theyâre still going strong today. They are the perfect type of bag for every day because you can wear them to just about any sort of event or gathering whether it be a work meeting or movie night with friends! Best of all, theyâre small enough to have with you as if your smartphone, wallet, keys, sunglasses etc. and look great while doing so! The Little Crossbody bag is great for attending events, like a dinner date with your partner or going shopping. Youâll have both hands free to browse the nice things in the store while keeping your essentials close by and safely with you!
Special Occasion Bag
Itâs the bag that you probably wonât wear often, but it is a prestigious bag to have in your closet. When it comes time to dress up for an event or attend a formal party, a clutch that is small and practical will be good. You should not overpack this bag as lipstick, phone, credit card and keys are more than enough items to bring with you on this special occasion.
