I’ve always enjoyed reading and watching those ‘what’s in your bag’ posts/videos. They’re not only entertaining, but useful, too! I’ve discovered some pretty neat items because of them. I knew I had to do my own version of this post with my favorite bag: my Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis. This purse is amazing! It’s a crossbody, which is practical, but it’s also a nice size and quite roomy on the inside. I can fit so much if needed.
So… What’s In My Pochette Metis?
Gucci Wallet 
YSL Card Holder
I’ll start this off with my wallets. I have a Gucci and a YSL wallet that I use. Thankfully, I’m not one of those people that needs their SLGs (small leather goods) to match their purse! I typically choose one or the other, but it does happen that I take both and use the Gucci to hold my change so that my YSL isn’t overly stuffed. I really need to invest in a coin purse… I’ve had my YSL cardholder for a couple of years now and it’s held up super well. It’s sleek, compact, and easily fits in any purse I own (except my Jacquemus Le Chiquito which you can read about here!). It does the job and looks great doing it. As for my Gucci, I LOVE the print. There is something about the bees that make me super happy. Sadly, the only purse it fits into right now is my Pochette Metis. I can stuff it in another one, but it doesn’t leave space for much else. 🙁 Despite the fact it doesn’t get used as much as I wish it did, I do prefer it over the YSL. Mainly for the bees.
Six Ring Key Holder
I hopped on the key holder train last year and I haven’t looked back. Normal key rings always annoyed me because they’re too chunky, scratch the inside of my bag, and I honestly don’t like how they look… Or the noise they make. This six ring key holder is a game changer. I can’t keep my car fob tucked in, but it doesn’t bug me since it’s round and doesn’t cause any damage. I highly recommend looking into one if you want a more compact way to hold your keys (if you don’t have too many that is!).
Covid-19 Edition
Of course, I had to have a section on the pandemic! I’ve had to re-arrange my Pochette Metis in order to account for my Covid-19 essentials… I like to carry two masks on me after having a few instances of forgotten masks in my family and just to be safe in case I forget/lose mine. I was using the Savage mask for a while, but I now use the Wolford silk mask and it’s my new favorite. It’s comfortable, adjustable, and looks like I just hopped out of a Mortal Kombat game. Uhh, SOLD! I also like to carry my own pen so I don’t have to use someone else’s along with good old hand sanitizer. I love the Bath and Body mini’s. They aren’t in Europe, so you better believe that I will stock up when I go back to the US to visit!
Chappies!
There are always 2-4 lippie options in my purse at all times. Lately, I’ve been using the Burt’s Bees chapstick, but I also use Carmex. The Dior Lip Glow in Rose Gold is great to keep your lips hydrated, but also give you a bit of extra shine. The Fenty Gloss Bomb also does the trick. This one is in Fenty Glow, but I also own $weetmouth. Finally, if I’m wearing a lipstick, I ALWAYS bring it with me in case I need to re-apply. Sometimes, the lipliner comes along for the ride, too!
Solid Amazon Finds
Okay- these two items REALLY needed their own section because they have changed my purse life. The first is this mini brush/mirror duo. As a girl who gets tangled hair with a simple light breeze, a brush is a must. I used to carry a mini brush around which took up quite a bit of space and used my phone as a mirror which often resulted in funny looks from others. This guy is a two in one! The brush works great and I have a mirror when needed. What more can be said?! 8/10 would recommend; I knocked off a couple points because the first one (it was a set of two) broke in half and the other is a bit hard to open. It is still worth it in my opinion because of how much I actually use it and how much space I save.
The second item is a bag holder!!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to put my purse on my lap and cover it with a napkin at a restaurant because I don’t want it touching the floor, nor do I want to hang it on the back of my chair and invite all thiefs in the vicinity, and I obviously don’t want to spill anything on it. This little guy allows you to hang your purse in front of you at the table! I’ve heard of some people using it to hang up their face mask as well. It comes in a set of two and I’m currently using my spare to hang up an extension cord so that it’s not all messy on the floor. This one is an 11/10 for recommendation purposes. You NEED one.
Remaining Items In My Pochette Metis
We made it! These are the last few items I carry in my purse on a daily basis.
- Sunglasses – We all need a good pair of sunglasses. These are from Gucci.
- Airpods – These are super convenient if you get a phone call while you’re out and need to be hands free. I used to be conscious about how I looked with them, but I’ve come to realize I don’t care. 😉
- Scrunchie – I got this a while ago through a company that focused on matching accessories for you and your pet. Cas doesn’t wear his bandana, but I use this scrunchie all the time!
- Bobby Pins – Just in case a strand of hair misbehaves.
- Chewing Gum – This stuff is so minty, it stings. But hey, it gets the job done!
- Mini Nail File – My nails break all the time, so an emergency file is a must for me.
- Tatcha Blotting Papers – I live on the French Riviera and it gets stupid hot in the summer time. These papers are a life saver when I really need to ‘freshen up’ and save my makeup.
