City Bag

By Julie Riedel

In suburbia we know this concept of a purse, but once you enter the city you are introduced to a city bag. What’s the difference? Well a purse is typically much smaller and your family won’t accuse you of being Mary Poppins for pulling so much stuff out of it. Oh and a purse carries useful things but a city bag basically carries your life. When your shoes are your car your bag becomes the trunk.

 

So in a city bag you might find:

  • An umbrella

  • Portable charger/ Phone charger (maybe both)

  • Mace/ pepper spray

  • Food

  • Feminine Hygiene products

  • Hand Sanitizer

  • Makeup

  • Deodorant and perfume/ body spray

  • Laptop and charger

 

 

Now with the secrets of a city bag you too can carry everything you could possibly need with you and then some to always be prepared for life or... a late train.
