Let’s discuss something near and dear to all our hearts: purses. In the absence of functional pockets on clothing, us ladies have to rely on purses to carry all our essentials. But which one to choose? Do I want a large purse or a small one? Do I need my hands free or should I carry my bag on my shoulder? In this post we’ll teach you all about our three leather bags: the Jo Crossbody, Eliza Tote, and Dorothy Mini Tote. Use our leather bag size comparison to find out which one works best for you!
The Dorothy Mini Tote
We’ll start with the Dorothy Mini Tote. It measure 12 inches wide by 8 inches high and has a nice flat base to increase its storage capacity and to allow it to stand up on its own. The Dorothy Mini Tote is such a cute everyday bag. We use it to hold the Anya Makeup Bag (shop Anya here), a traveler’s notebook in either the pocket or passport size (shop notebooks here), a pen, our wallet, gum, hand sanitzer, our cell phone, a pair of sunglasses, and keys in the handy interior pocket.
The Eliza Tote Bag
Next we have the Eliza Tote Bag. Measuring 15 inches wide by 12 inches high, this tote is our largest bag at Iris & Owl. The Eliza Tote is great for bringing to work. It fits up to a 13 inch laptop in its sleeve, chargers, a traveler’s notebook (shop notebooks here), a pen, the Anya Makeup Bag (shop Anya here), a water bottle, wallet, sunglasses, cell phone, and keys in the interior pocket. We also love bringing this tote along when we travel. The leather is thin, yet durable. This allows the tote to be rolled up and packed, but still remain crease-free when unrolled. Isn’t that awesome?
The Jo Crossbody
Last up is the Jo Crossbody. This bag measures 11 inches wide by 11 inches high and has an adjustable strap so you can wear it as a crossbody or over your shoulder. The Jo Crossbody is perfect for the days when you’re on the go and need to be hands free. Slide in your Kindle, water bottle, traveler’s notebook (shop notebooks here), pen, wallet, phone, keys, and sunglasses, and you’re ready for whatever the day may bring.
We hope this leather bag size comparison was helpful! Which bag is your favorite: Dorothy, Eliza, or Jo? We here at Iris & Owl know that you’ll find that perfect bag for you.
