How many times has this happened to you: you’re walking to your car after a long day of running errands. You reach into your bag for your keys but your hand comes up empty. Frantically you start throwing everything out of your bag in your search. Just when all hope seems lost, there they are at the very bottom of your purse, right next to a dime and an old gum wrapper.
Organizing your purse can be tough, we hear ya. It’s hard to keep track of everything you need when it’s floating around a large bag. Here at Iris & Owl, we’re way into compartmentalizing. We have two great pouches, the Anya Makeup Bag and the Angelica Clutch, that are perfect for organization in a larger bag or on their own for quick trips. Use the information in this handy leather pouch size comparison to figure out which one is best for you.
The Anya Makeup Bag
Let’s start with the Anya Makeup Bag. It measures 8 inches wide by 5 inches high and comes in a wide array of colors. The Anya is great for holding what you need for quick makeup touchups. Just pop in lipstick, lip balm, blush, highlight, a small eyeshadow quad, a couple brushes, mascara, and concealer and you’re ready to go. This makeup bag holds everything but is still compact enough to fit in a larger bag such as our Jo Crossbody (shop here).
You can also use the Anya on its own as a wristlet by clipping on the detachable wristlet strap. It will hold a small wallet, your cell phone, keys, lip balm, gum, hand sanitzer, and hand cream. We here at Iris & Owl love bringing our Anya on quick runs to the grocery store. How will you use the Anya Makeup Bag?
The Angelica Clutch
Next up is the Angelica Clutch. It’s a bit bigger than the Anya, measuring 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. This clutch also features a detachable wrislet strap. However, the Angelica Clutch has an interior lining and a handy pocket, adding extra functionality when used on its own. It can carry a wallet, cell phone, tissues, keys, hand sanitzer, hand cream, and lip gloss. The Angelica also fits the pocket and passport sizes of traveler’s notebook (shop notebooks here). Perfect for that shopping list, right?
The Angelica Clutch also pairs perfectly with the Eliza Tote for maximum organization (shop Eliza here). We like using it to store chargers when traveling. Just remove the wristlet strap, pop in your chargers, and slide the clutch into your tote bag. It’s that simple!
We hope our leather pouch size comparison was helpful! Both pouches are amazing by themselves or as extra organizatin within larger bags. No matter whether you go with Anya or Angelica, you can breathe easy knowing all your necessities at your fingertips. Which one is your favorite?
