There are two types of people: Those who can leave their house trusting just their pockets to store their essentials (who does that?!) and those who refuse to leave without their whole house packed inside a bag. If you’re the latter (which is the proper answer, BTW), it’s time to refresh your small bag collection and add a few more to your daily rotation. Here’s where you can buy the best small bags online and get your money’s worth.

Lucca from Nuprene (P1,249)

Inside, you’ll find a spacious enough compartment for your essentials such as keys, hand sanitizer, phone, and a small wallet. Lucca also has mesh pockets, reinforced buckles, and an adjustable strap.
