1. You Can Take Everything with You

Why just take mascara and lip gloss when you can fit a whole makeup bag inside and still have plenty of space for everything else you’re planning to take with you? A notepad and a ballpoint pen, because you might need to write something down, a magazine, because you might get bored, sunglasses, reading glasses, mail you picked up on your way out, some wet wipes, dry wipes, intimate wipes, cell phone, iPhone, tablet and wallet. LOL! An average bag weights about 3 kilos and yet, we keep stuffing the things inside simply because “it doesn’t have the right shape when it’s empty”.

2. You Can’t Lose It

You can lose an umbrella or your sunglasses… hey, even a clutch can be lost! But tell me, how on Earth could you ever lose or forget a monstrously huge shopper full of things? An unattended clutch can get stolen very easily, too. One elegant, well-rehearsed move and it’s gone! A huge bag, in the other hand isn’t so thief-friendly – it’s impossible to hide and a thief can’t run and dig through it in the same time so he’ll probably give up.

3. You Can Dig Freely

Ah, is there a better feeling than the one of finally reaching your destination point, landing the bag on the first table you see and start digging? And oh, the joy of finally finding the object you’ve been searching for since you left the house! Furthermore, if you ever get bored waiting for the bus, you can always dig to keep yourself busy. Just think of an object you desperately need, a lip gloss for example, open your bag and start searching for it. There, that should kill at least 5 minutes of your time.

4. They Are Full of Surprises

Money, eye pencils, brow pencils, lip glosses, nail files and tweezers – a bag you haven’t worn for some time can be full of surprises. Just don’t use it for a month and you’ll see! It’s pretty much like a goodie-bag only the free swag is actually yours, you’ve just forgotten about it or thought you lost it.

5. You Can Hide Your “shopping Sins” inside

Impulse purchases, flash sales and great one-time offers – everything you could possibly buy can fit inside so you can sneak it in the house and take the tags off before anybody notices you were “wasting money again” You can use to sneak in his birthday present too, so he’ll never know you totally forgot about his birthday or waited until the last moment to get something.

6. Only You and God Know What’s inside

Well, maybe it’s just God… but who cares! If you don’t know what’s inside, how could anybody else know? Your kids, husband or other family members won’t even dare to open it - you can take my word for it. Why? Because it’s so big that you’ll probably catch them sneaking before they even get a chance to examine the contents.

7. They Keep You Fit and Safe

One shoulder for 30 minutes and then switch – Congrats, you’re exercising on regular basis. Don’t believe me? Take a look at your dominant hand (the one you carry your bag in). Does it appear more muscular than the other one? But, that’s not all – a huge, full bag is a great weapon to use for self defense too! I’m sure you’ve heard about that old lady who has managed to beat up 5 robbers with nothing more lethal than a medium-sized shoulder bag!

So, what do you say about big bags now? Yup, a very, very, VERY practical accessory indeed!
