There are many ways a mini-purse can help make our lives easier. Marimekko helps us get organized stylishly.

1. Use them as a make-up pouch in your large handbag –to make it easier to find tiny items like lipstick or hair ties. They keep your bag so much more organized and can prevent a mess if your lipstick suddenly comes uncapped.

2. Keep them in your room to beautifully hold small things – You know you never know where to put bobby pins or business cards or other random knickknacks? Start putting them in vibrant Marimekko bags. Put specific items in different colored ones so you always know where to find them.

3. Stock mini purses with first aid supplies and keep them handy in your office and large handbag – Be prepared in style and keep emergency supplies handy.

4. Use as jewelry cases when you’re traveling– They’ll help protect your jewelry and keep them in sight.

Lovely to look at and versatile, a variety of bright, printed Marimekko purses are available at Tanager Housewares. They make a chic statement as a beautiful small clutch for an evening out and so much more!
