Let’s do a what’s in my bag while I talk about my Sabatier tote bag. I am so rough on bags, so I needed a high quality leather tote that would fit my whole life into it and last me for years. BTW, the bag costs about $200-$300 but it was over $400 for me because I had it shipped to the US What’s an affordable leather tote bag you would recommend? #whatsinmybag #everydaybag #totebag Bag charms @True Religion Brand Jeans @Benefit Cosmetics @NYX Professional Makeup @Huda Beauty

A birkin bag costs $40,000 so I took $400 and got a Sabatier A Birkin bag cost $40,000, so I took $400 and got a Sabatier instead. I've always wanted a Birkin Dirkin Erkin for the durability more than the price point, so I did some research and I found that this is basically the same structure for just a fraction of the price. And look at how cute my little trinkets are! These all came from P.R. Packages by the way. Honestly, the reason I wanted a Birkin is because I am so hard on a tote bag. This is my everyday bag. I use this when I travel. This is my carry on. This is what I use whenever I'm out all day in L.A. and I don't have a car, so this quite literally needs to fit everything, so I love that it has space for a tablet, iPad, or a laptop. Have my tech essentials. Gotta keep the breath fresh. And also people don't wash their hands. Gotta have your sunnies. And I believe in keeping something fun to do, so I always keep UNO cards. You never know when you need to cut somebody ass. And tissue cause you hoes be snotty. Have any lip combo you could possibly want? A writing pen, a tide pen cause you never know, and then a cuticle oil pen because my cuticles are dry. I keep so much more stuff in this on a day to day. I even put my shoes in here whenever I'm going to Modelling castings. And like I said, I do use this as my carry on when I'm flying, so let me know if you actually wanna see how I pack this for my travel days. But that's what's in my Birken Dirken Erkin junior. Okay.
