No matter what brand you prefer, if you’re a woman, it’s likely your handbag is a reflection of who you are. We’re not talking about the exterior of your purse, but rather what lies within. For some women, their planner-organiser is the most important item in there, and for others, always having a box of crayons at hand for their bored kids, is a must. While priorities differ, every woman likely carries a few essential items that she needs, regardless of her lifestyle or background. Here, we share a curated list with you, of some of our favourite picks. Be ready for surprises, as you read on, and become an Amazon Prime member for free, fast delivery!
1. Himai Purse Organiser Insert
Handbags come with their own interior pockets and sleeves, but do you often feel they’re never enough? Take control of organising your handbag with this insert. Incredibly efficient, there are 13 pockets in this organiser, with a detachable zippered pocket in the middle that can be used as a separate wallet. Made of sturdy felt cloth, it’s light and big enough to fit notebooks, cosmetics and even an iPad or Kindle. You can select the size that’s suitable for your own handbag, and pick from six versatile colours. Hermione would be proud!
2. Uonlytech Purse Light (2 Pieces)
No more rummaging in your purse, in the darkness of your car or while you walk down the street in the evening. This heart-shaped bag illuminator doesn’t just look cute, it’s practical and durable. Just drop it into your bag and clip it onto an interior pocket. It activates with a light touch, and emits a soft glow, so you can easily view your bag’s interiors on evenings out.
3. Refillable Perfume Atomiser, Black and Gold, 5ml
Your cherished bottle of Chanel Mademoiselle may be too precious to take along with you on a night out, but that shouldn’t stop you from spritzing it on whenever you like. Pick up this travel perfume atomiser, which is small enough to be approved by the US-based Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for on-flight travel. Add your favourite scent to it through its easy pump refill system and pop it in your purse so you always have your favourite fragrance at hand. There are five sets of colours to choose from!
4. wobsion Led Compact Mirror
A double-sided folding mirror that’s slim, compact, and simulates daylight with LED lights? It’s a winner, and a must-have for your purse. The mirror offers 10X magnification as well, and comes with a charging cable so that you can always keep its light strip powered up (charging takes just one to two hours). You can even dim the light, based on your preference. This is a new-age purse mirror, and we can see why.
5. Promate USB-C Power Bank
Small but powerful, Promate’s portable charger is sleek and lightweight, making it extremely easy to carry around in your purse.

It’s tiny, efficient and a must-have for your handbag, so that your devices never run out of juice and leave you stranded.
6. Sothing Fabric Shaver, Red
If lint is the bane of your existence, especially when you notice it five minutes before a presentation at work, it’s worth saving space in your bag for Sothing’s fabric shaver.
