The Clumsy Fashionista Strikes Again. Chic & Easy Solutions for Your Messy Bag Spills (Part 3 in a series).
When life gets hectic, you’re more likely to carry a utilitarian bag, typically a chic tote or backpack that can handle all the particulars needed for the day. For example, on such occasions I may carry over a dozen items and some of those can be messy – from makeup to hand lotion to a small canister of seasoning.
Any of these are an opportunity for spills. Actually, I had a day where the body lotion and the seasoning spilled out together. Ugh, double-checking the lids next time! So, you can imagine cayenne sea salt and body lotion blended aromas aren’t the ideal smell and do not make for easy clean-up.
Because of situations like this, I’m quite drawn to bags like these:
1. Bags with removable/washable interiors aren’t exactly new, but I’ve had a hard time finding a bag that I like and has this handy feature – until very recently. Marsi Bond makes beautiful vegan bags with removable, machine-washable interiors. See one example here:

2. My next backpack may be this one by Paplebag. It’s made of machine washable paper (up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit) and free of PVC, BPA, and PCP. The company says it appears more like leather after washing.
3.Vegan bags by Crystalyn Kae are handmade to order in the U.S. and machine washable. The glaze-coated canvas bags also develop a leather look after washing. Love the color of this one!
