Whether toting across campus, commuting across the city or studying from your favorite coffee shop, an expandable carryall is made to move with you, effortlessly carrying all your must-haves like your laptop, notebooks, water bottle, chargers—the list goes on and on. But when it comes to finding the perfect spot for all your smaller necessities, there’s one organizational hack everyone’s loving: the bag pouch.
The best bag pouches will keep all your loose items secure within your larger tote, ensuring your bag is always tidy and your items are always accessible. While referred to as a “pouch,” there are a variety of mini bags, wristlets and clutches that serve the same purpose, neatly organizing miscellaneous items while sliding snugly inside your larger bag.
Below is everything you need to know about the bag pouch, with product recommendations that will make your life easier.
Everyday Essentials: Keys, card case or wallet, cash, phone, hand sanitizer
Tech: Charging cables, portable chargers, AirPods
Makeup & Cosmetics: Lip product, lotion, scrunchies
Miscellaneous: Packaged snacks, sunglasses, pens
The bag pouch takes several smaller items and transforms them into one easily accessible entity. Throw your bag pouch in your carryall—like the Brooklyn bag or the Empire bag—like you would all your larger items. When it’s time to access your card case or lip gloss, you won’t have to dig around at all.
Choose a bag pouch that’s fashionable enough to look good on its own. That way, you can take it out of your carryall and style it as your mini plus-one for lunch breaks at work or quick coffee runs during study sessions when you can safely leave your tote in place.
The Mini Bag: Plaza Bag 18, Jet Shoulder Bag
The Wristlet: Essential Small Wristlet, Plaza Bag
The Clutch: Tabby Chain Crossbody Bag 19 with Quilting, Tabby Shoulder Bag 20
