Purse Party Purse Contents

If you have attended a handbag party lately, you've likely pondered about what it is you usually keep in your purse, and how much room it takes up. Many women feel scorned for packing more than a few items around with them in their bags, especially by men (some of whom behave as superior for having large enough pockets that they don't need to tote purses-but wasn't it men who started the designing trend a few centuries ago of women wearing slimmer clothing, which prevents them from using large and spacious pockets like males do?) No matter. Whether you are a maximal or minimal purse-content type of woman, there is a handbag that can help you actually enjoy regularly switching purses for fashion reasons. Miche Bags, small and large, have multiple, changeable, fashionable, outer shells or coverings that attach with magnets in three quick seconds to the inner base part of the purse that always carries your contents.

Purses have changed a lot over the centuries, as have their contents. During the 18th century, women possessed bags for all types of occasions, but usually they carried rouge, face powder, smelling salts, and a scent bottle, and occasionally love letters and bank notes. During the 1900s women carried fans, mirrors, opera glasses, and powder puffs. Females of the 20th century would often carry reading glasses, sunglasses, and glasses for distance, plus matches and cigarettes in cigarette holders.

Modern purse owners vary lots in what they always have in their handbags, but there are basics: a wallet with IDs, driver's licenses, credit cards, debit cards, membership cards, business cards, work badges, key cards, transit cards, checkbooks, cash, and receipts; a cell phone; key chains with keys; at least one pen; at least a minimal amount of makeup, such as lipstick or lip gloss; and lip balm. Other typical items in bags include: notebooks; cameras; sunglasses; coin purses; MP3 players; loose change; and hair accessories such as bobby pins, barrettes, and ties. Somewhat less common items are: hand sanitizers, cell phone chargers, hand creams, lotions, PDAs, moisturizers, books, feminine hygiene products, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, tissues, mini-hairbrushes, medications, gum, mints, candy, planners, perfume.

More items that aren't atypical in handbags, especially large ones include: flash drives, calculators, sketchbooks, stain remover pens and wipes, paper, water bottles, breath spray, band aids, hand wipes, sharpies, mouthwash, highlighters, shoes, to-do lists, deodorant, mirrors, mini umbrellas, coupon books, snacks, cook books, reusable shopping bags, tea, Splenda, baby wipes, diapers, Blue-tooth devices, change of clothes for a child, mini laptops, plastic cutlery, post-its, fortune-cookie fortunes, lighters, magazines, oil remover sheets, calendars, safety pins, pepper spray, throat lozenges, mini staplers, unpaid bills, headphones, grocery lists, dog collars, cat toys, DVDs to return, and napkins.

We often need many of these listed items when we go out. If we don't carry them all with us, we can end up borrowing some from other purse owners. If you attend a handbag party, you might enjoy comparing contents with other attendees.
