What's In My Bag with Mimi

The Bag I Can’t Live Without

For this edition, I chose my everyday bag— the one I carry everywhere, from university to cafe days and weekend dates. It’s the perfect size: big enough for all my essentials. This bag has basically become an extension of me, and I reach for it almost every single day. 

I’m featuring the Pocket Utility from Samo Ondoh, a medium-sized bag that’s ideal for my lifestyle. I’m someone who always carries my iPad or Mac with me, so the size is absolutely perfect. I love sitting in cafes to study, edit, or work on my projects, so I tend to bring a lot of things with me and this bag fits everything without ever feeling too heavy. 

My Daily Essentials

Inside my bag, I always keep a small makeup pouch for quick touch-ups during the day. I usually carry my TIRTIR or Unleashia cushion, a moisturizing lip balm to avoid dry lips, and my favorite Dasique gloss. I also keep a mini perfume because I love smelling good all day long, I always carry my small matcha from Le Labo. Hand cream is another must, dry hands and bad scents are a no for me.

My AirPods are essential, but I also bring wired earphones because I’m always scared of running out of battery, and I simply cannot be on public transport without music. Depending on the day, I pack either my MacBook or my iPad, along with a notebook where I jot down ideas or quick to-do lists.

A portable battery is a true lifesaver as someone who films, takes photos, and uses my phone a lot, it’s absolutely non-negotiable. I also carry a hair clip, and even a toothbrush for lunchtime. And of course, my favorite wallet from RRL, a precious gift from my boyfriend, always comes with me.
