Puffer jackets and handbags....how do you carry your stuff ?

Not exactly earth shattering I know but how do you carry your essential stuff when you are wearing a puffer jacket? I have not found a satisfactory solution. Everything looks wrong except for carrying a tote bag and sometimes that isn’t practical. Anyone else solved this problem.

I put mine in my pocket. Transferred/slimmed down my purse into a card holder so it’s:
Keys (slimmed down set)
Card holder
Face mask
Phone

I haven't used a handbag since lockdown started. Bought a biggish phone holder/wallet that fits the cards I actually use and spare mask. Slimmed down my keys to remove work keys etc.

No handbag. Phone and keys in pockets.

Cross body bag. Smallish and not structured.

I just carry my keys, phone and that's it. I also have my apple watch on. So I use that and sometimes my phone for contactless payment. I have pockets to put toy phone and keys in.

I have a long puffa coat with an inside pocket and two pockets that zip shut

I don’t have a puffa jacket but I have a big coat and just use the pockets. Another one who hasn’t carried a handbag since lockdown other than a few nights when we were allowed out to a pub and then I wasn’t wearing a big coat!

Leather look rucksack

Pockets. Or a little leather rucksack. Handbags and cross body bags are actually quite painful to wear for long periods of time.

A small Smythson leather backpack.

When I wear my hooded puffa jacket I carry a small cross body bag with the essentials on days off or my Adidas rucksack for work.

Cross Body Bag.

Also very on trend and less likely to be robbed Grin
