• city: new york city

• occupation: artist

• bag brand: Electronic Arts Intermix tote bag

• most important item: Realistically, my keys or my wallet, but I'd be sad if I lost this ancient lip stain I bought in maybe 2018 that has since been discontinued and I've not been able to find a "dupe" for it. It's the Kaja Cushy Vibe Lip Stain in 02 Velvet.

• age: 23

• city: los angeles

• occupation: writer and musician

• bag brand: baggu (crescent bag)

• most important item: my most important item and my favorite item are two very different things..most important obviously and unfortunately is my Epi-Pen, but any allergenic girls will understand that any experience with an Epi-Pen is a bad albeit lifesaving one, so it doesn’t exactly conjure nice memories. My favorite item in my bag is my kindle — I resent deeply that this is an Amazon product, but at the end of the day I am a touring musician and this little gadget has been truly life-changing. Plus, for the most screen-addled among us, it pains me to say that it makes reading more easier, in part, because your brain kind of thinks you’re looking at a big phone :(

• city: brooklyn

• occupation: writer

• bag brand: fashion brand company

• most important item: boring answer but…my phone. And maybe my holy grail now discontinued Kat Von D lipstick in the color “Hilda.” Definitely more important than the parking ticket or the 1/4 of an Arctic Monkeys ticket from last year that I’ve got in there.

• age: 25

• city: los angeles

• occupation: Egirl bohemian layabout magazine editor

• bag brand: “Hype” brand bag. No idea what this means. My biological grandma said I could take one designer purse from her illustrious collection last time I visited her and I took this one because I liked the way it looked but when I looked it up it’s only worth 40 dollars, major L because she had tons of Prada. Just say it’s Vetements.

• most important item: the Altoids container is actually a pocket shrine. Gifted by a former lover. I open this when I need hope and I truly do pray over it. It’s my private peace.
