Start with the essentials
Lay out what you actually carry: keys, a book, a water bottle and the small things that help your day run smoothly. A useful bag makes room for these without asking you to fill every corner.
Give small things a home
A zipped pouch keeps loose objects together and makes switching bags easier. Keep the things you reach for most near the opening, with heavier pieces resting at the bottom.
Leave space for the unexpected
An extra layer, a market find or something borrowed from a friend: the best everyday bag leaves a little room for plans to change.
