The right bag makes every day easier: it carries what you need, looks good with your outfits and doesn't hurt your shoulder by evening. Here's how to choose bags for work, weekends and evenings.
For work: a roomy shoulder bag
Look for enough space for a phone, wallet, makeup pouch, water bottle and maybe a small tablet. A neutral colour like black goes with everything. The Women's Fashion Bag (59 AED) is a large-capacity shoulder bag that fits the full working day.
For errands and travel: a sling or crossbody
Hands-free and secure in malls, souks and airports. The Multifunction Sling Bag (64 AED) keeps your essentials close.
For evenings: a clutch
A clutch with a chain strap works as both a hand-held clutch and a shoulder bag, perfect for weddings, dinners and Eid. Try the Chain Strap Clutch Bag (140 AED).
What to look for
- Strap comfort: wider straps spread weight better.
- Inside pockets: so your keys and phone aren't lost at the bottom.
- Secure closure: a zip is safer than an open top in crowds.
- Light weight: a heavy empty bag gets heavier by the end of the day.
Keep your bag organised
- Use a small pouch for makeup. The Portable Cosmetic Bag is 49 AED.
- Keep cards and cash in a slim wallet like the Women Multifunctional Wallet (49 AED).
- Clear out receipts every week.
Bag care
Don't leave bags in a hot car, store them stuffed with paper to keep their shape, and wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
