Choosing the Right Size Bag for Your Needs

Let’s be honest, finding the perfect bag is a bit like finding the perfect pair of jeans. It has to fit your life. Whether you're running errands, heading to work, or going out for dinner, the size of your bag can make all the difference.

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right size bag for your day-to-day.

1. Small but mighty
For the essentials-only types, a small crossbody or clutch such as our best-selling Large Essential Pouch is your go-to. These are perfect for keeping things light. Just your phone, wallet, keys, and maybe a lip balm. Ideal for dinners out, quick errands, or when you don’t want to be weighed down.

2. The everyday carryall
If you like to have a bit more on hand, maybe a notebook, water bottle, sunglasses, or snacks; a medium-sized tote or shoulder bag is a solid choice. Our picks are the Signature Slouchy, Basque Slouchy or Georgia Bag. These bags balance space and style, making them great for workdays, casual weekends, or travel days when you still want to keep things tidy.

3. The everything bag
Need to carry your life with you? A large tote such as our Unlined Tote gives you room for it all. Laptop, lunch, change of clothes, you name it. These are great for commuters, parents, or anyone who prefers to be prepared for anything.

4. Capsule-style thinking
If you’re building a thoughtful wardrobe, having a few well-made bags in different sizes (rather than dozens of “okay” ones) can make getting dressed and staying organised so much easier. Think of it like your bag wardrobe: small for going out, medium for every day, large for everything else.

At Juju & Co, we design bags with real life in mind. Clean lines, natural materials, and sizes that actually work for how you move through the day. And if you're ever stuck between two? Go with the one that feels easy to carry and you’ll reach for it more.
