From statement bags that celebrate India to classic pieces built to seamlessly transition from AM to PM, these are the nine bags that fit everything — SPF, body mist, wet wipes and yes, those five different lip balms.
01. SHOP NOORIE
Noorie's bags, from beauty editor Ria Bhatia, treat color the way candy does — loud, sweet and unapologetic. The line drops in limited runs, so the appeal is partly the chase. Our top two, the Cassata and Berry Pop, come in pink, peach, yellow and teal (a nod to the gelato's tutti-frutti chunks) and a mix of raspberry-pink, purple and mango-orange respectively, finished in Noorie's signature woven texture.
02. ATELIER VEDANTIKA
Atelier Vedantika's Hair On Salt bag has the cult following, but we keep coming back to its monochromatic counterpart: same striking silhouette, dressed in black with a suede lining. It comes with an in-built cardholder (so you never have to worry about losing yours), a detachable pouch and enough room to keep all your essentials for the night together.
Available to shop at ATELIERVEDANTIKA.COM
03. RANGEELA GOA
Step into the Rangeela concept store in Goa and you're instantly spoiled for choice with every surface spilling with exquisitely crafted clothing, accessories, jewelry and home decor. We're currently fixated on this ruby red sequinned bag, spotted via @naimitaj — surprisingly roomy for an evening bag, with enough space for your phone, mints and keys, plus everything you need to touch up your look for the night ahead.
04. MAJE PARIS
Maje's Eyelet Bucket Bag is structured enough to add dimension to your look, yet roomy enough for a day's worth of essentials — SPF, lip balm, blotting paper et al. Crafted in leather and finished with gold hardware, it comes with a removable drawstring pouch and a separate pocket for keys and cards, keeping everything neatly in its place.
05. AOMIDORI SHIMOI
Skip the roses on your next flower run and get something that'll actually last, like the aptly-named Bouquet Bag by Aomidori Shimai. Shaped like a classic bouquet of red roses, crafted in taffeta and hand-shaped to layer like real rose petals, the bag opens via drawstring, cinched at the top like the bouquet itself. Big enough for your phone, cards and a lipstick, with space to spare, just in case.
06. THE PDKF STORE
Handcrafted in block-printed voile fabric from Rajasthan, the Tie-Up Tote from PDKF Store comes in a range of colors and patterns. It's lightweight enough to sling over your shoulder, with room for everything you need for the day, sunblock, lip balm and hair mist very much included.
07. TEJAL KEYUR TEXTILES
Textile designer Tejal brings a fresh take to upcycled bags via her label Tejal Keyur Textiles, using discarded saree scraps and a keen eye for color, texture and intricate patterns inspired by nature. Her bestselling totes — crafted by a team of women artisans in Pune and her hometown of Kolhapur — feature everything from the intricacy of natural terrains to a sky at sunset to the silhouette of a tiger and fit your phone, cards, keys, lip gloss and even a bottle of water.
08. CUYANA
The Travel Beauty Roll by Cuyana is built for those who live out of a suitcase. Crafted in soft Italian leather, the case comes in three colors and works two ways — rolled up for travel and spread open as a vanity tray once you've landed. Inside, a dedicated compartment keeps brushes upright and in place, while two more sections, including a detachable pouch, keep the rest of your kit organized.
09. ARTCHIVES INDIA
Inspired by India with a decidedly contemporary edge, Artchives India's I Dream In India Totes celebrate the rich diversity of the country through vibrant illustrations and bold lettering. Their summer-ready The Indian Summer Tote design is a tribute to the much-loved king of fruits, with a mango tree branch — heavy with fruit — illustrated across the front and accentuated with warm yellow tones. Inside, there's room for your entire world: iPad, phone, keys and a vanity pouch.
