Okay, so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect neutral handbag. You know, the kind that goes with everything? Yeah, that one. It’s been a journey, let me tell you!
First, I started by just browsing online. Just kinda throwing “neutral handbag” into the search bar and seeing what popped up. I scrolled through pages and pages, and honestly, it was overwhelming. So many options! Different shades of “neutral,” different styles, different price points… ugh.

My “Must-Have” List
I realized I needed to narrow things down. So I grabbed a notebook and jotted down what I really wanted. I came up with this:
- Color: Truly neutral – not too warm, not too cool. Something that would work with both black and brown outfits.
- Size: Not too big, not too small. I needed it to fit my essentials (wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, maybe a small makeup bag) without being bulky.
- Style: Something classic, that wouldn’t go out of style in a year. I was thinking maybe a crossbody or a small tote.
- Material: Probably leather, or a really good quality vegan leather. Something durable.
- Price: I wanted to set a limit.
With my list in hand, I went back to the internet. This time, it was much easier to filter through the options. I started paying closer attention to the product descriptions, looking at the dimensions, and reading reviews.
I found a few contenders online, and some in real stores! I try my best to go to the store to check it. So, the next day, I went to some store and tried it. I put my must-have things there to test it.
After all that, I finally found “the one”! It’s a beautiful, light beige leather crossbody bag. It’s the perfect size, the perfect color, and it feels amazing. I’m so happy with it!
It took effort, yeah, but it was worth it to find a bag I know I’ll use all the time.
