Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities.
The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front.

* pen holders
* other storage pockets
It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock.

Has made me realise how
Much women carry in their bags ...

Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s.
Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available.
The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents.
Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated ...
