Hi Darlings, welcome to Fashion Like Fine Wine, if this is your first post you are reading I am so happy to have you here! Read along to find out what’s in my bag.
The bag I am carrying today is my beloved The Row inspired bag in an Italian suede chocolate brown.
It is one of my few 100% Italian Leather bags, and you can really feel (and smell) the quality. I’ve always adored The Row handbags for their subtle and understated luxurious look. However, the handbag I purchased is less than a quarter of the price and doesn’t skip on the quality!
The Essentials
The most important item I love to carry in my large bag is my ‘lady pouch,’ as I fondly call it. It includes, a mini hairbrush, nano perfume, deodorant, pads, and a small bronzer.
I love to use a cute pouch that has its own unique charm to it, whether it be beading or patterns, like this one!

I adore using a pouch that has its own unique personality—whether it’s embellished with delicate beading or playful patterns, like this one. It’s like a mini treasure trove tucked inside my bag.
One of my aunties got me on the pouch train. She’s a master at carrying all kinds of chic pouches in her oversized handbags, and let me tell you, it’s nothing short of an art form. I decided to incorporate this stylish accessory into my handbag. Although subtle, I know its there and it makes me feel elevated!
Oh, darlings, let’s talk about the ultimate fashion lifesaver: foldable ballet flats. These little wonders are every bit as chic as they are practical.
I then carry not one, but two Burt’s Bees lip tints, these are all natural beeswax lip tints that are shimmery, give good color and last a long time.
A portable charger is also important to me if I’m going on a long day trip and using my devices quite often.
Portable Curling Iron
Darlings, you are going to love this one. If I know it’s a bit humid outside or if my hair needs to be absolutely on point for specific meetings or events, I swear by my portable, cordless — and yes, mini — curling iron. It’s an absolute game-changer. Small enough to slip into your bag, but powerful enough to give you those perfect, bouncy curls that stay all day (no humidity can ruin this!). Whether I’m on the go or just need a little touch-up before a last-minute soirée, this little beauty keeps my hair flawless without any fuss. It’s like having your own personal stylist with you, 24/7.

I love to carry a small wallet, no matter the size of my bag since its so much more practical for me and restricts me from bringing too many merchandise cards! My favorite is my Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Business Card Holder.

I also have my car keys, a mini pack of tissues and some snacks in my bag as well.
I’d love to know what your go-to items in your bags are, and which snacks you love for on the go. Let me know in the comments.
