If I were walking you through my actual closet, showing you why I picked each of these bags from SHEIN, this is how I’d describe them. I’m all about that 2026 aesthetic—it has to look high-end, feel functional, and match my mood.

My Daily Hustle Sling Bags
When I’m out for a quick coffee or running errands in the city, I don't want a heavy bag hitting my hip. I want something that hugs my body and looks like a fashion statement.
This one comes with a mini coin purse attachment. I love the structured, edgy look of the geometric print.
Labubu Fanny Pack
My Fav sling bag, this is a must!
Sling Bags
This is my 'clean girl' essential. The faux leather is so smooth and matte. I usually wear it over a blazer to cinch my waist—it’s very understated and looks way more expensive than it was.
Nylon Belt Bags & Fanny Packs
This is my 'fancy' sling. The crocodile texture adds so much depth, and the silver hardware is really sturdy. I wear this when I’m meeting friends for brunch and want to look a bit more polished.
Croc Embossed Clutch Chain Sling Bag
What I love about this is because this is a #1 bestseller and because it’s a "niche" design—it looks like a boutique find. It has a zip-top closure and a gold-tone chain-link strap that adds a bit of "jewelry" to a plain t-shirt and jeans.
Tropiscape New Fashion Woven Bag Shoulder - Shein
My "On-the-Go" Backpacks
I’m only carrying backpacks that are smart. I need security features for the commute and a silhouette that doesn't look like I’m going to middle school.
This is my absolute favorite for commuting. The genius part? The main zipper is hidden on the back panel against my body, so I don't have to worry about anyone opening it in a crowd. Plus, the tassels make it look so chic.
OEIPSMK Anti-theft PU Leather Backpack
This is my 'work' backpack. It’s made of this amazing waterproof nylon that feels like silk but keeps my laptop dry during a sudden downpour. It’s very slim and professional.

Backpacks & Bags
When I want a more relaxed, 'student' vibe, I grab this one. It’s a soft canvas material with a cool little letter patch decor. It’s not as 'techy' as the others, but it’s the one I use for cafe-hopping. I love the multiple front pockets because I ca...
JHTPSLR Preppy Denim Patch Vintage Backpack
My Coastal and Market Totes
Living in the Philippines, a tote is a survival tool. I need space for everything from my laptop to a beach sarong.
This feels like luxury. The faux suede is so soft to the touch, and the deep coffee color is the 'it' color of 2026. It’s massive—I can fit my whole life in here and still look elegant.
Arlet Recycled Suede Double-Handle Belted Tote Bag - espresso brown
Siargao essential! It’s a huge, airy weave that lets the sand fall through. I love the raw, natural look it gives my beach outfits.

This is my 'lazy day' bag. The corduroy is thick and cozy, and the vintage patch gives it that cool thrifted vibe. It’s my favorite for carrying my iPad to a cafe

It literally feels like a pillow. The padding is great because I don’t have to worry about my electronics getting bumped around. It’s super lightweight, so it never feels heavy on my shoulder.

I keep this one folded inside my main bag. It’s a heavy-duty canvas with a beautiful plant print. It’s my 'eco-chic' bag for when I end up doing some unexpected shopping.
The Botanical Bloom Medium Canvas Tote
My Midnight Muse Evening Bags
This bag is a showstopper. It’s covered in tiny crystals that catch every bit of light. I save this for weddings or really fancy dinner dates—it’s tiny, but it holds the essentials.
I feel like a mermaid with this one. It’s encrusted with pearls of all different sizes. It’s a hard-shell case, so my lipstick and phone are perfectly protected inside.
Pearl Clutch
This is my 'Old Money' pick. The deep wine-red (Angola Red) is so sophisticated. The metal lock has a satisfying 'click' and it just screams expensive taste.
This is basically art. It’s a metallic, curved design that I carry by the handle. It’s a huge conversation starter every time I take it out.
The Sculpted Metal Wristlet Bag | Madewell
I love how trendy this is. It’s a soft mesh bag dripping in pearls with a drawstring top. It’s very 'Gen Z' and looks amazing with a simple slip dress.
