WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG: NOONDAY FOUNDER AND CEO JESSICA HONEGGER
Tuesday night I had to pack for a work trip and, of course, thought through all the essential items for my bag. What could I leave behind? What MUST haves were crucial for my carry on? And, what did I need easily accessible in my backpack? I’ve recently moved to a polished backpack for work and travel rather than carrying a large tote handbag. Game changer. My shoulders are grateful too.
Since our team travels a great deal both personally and professionally (three big trips in the month of March alone), we are constantly looking for the best bags, gadgets, beauty products, snacks and essentials to bring along. On the regular, we’re questioning our road warrior clients and friends for their favorites. As we share our inaugural post for the “What’s In Your Bag” series, we decided to start with a client who crisscrosses the globe – literally. With 4,500 artisan partners in 13 countries, Founder and CEO of Noonday Collection Jessica Honegger is constantly on the move. Here’s what Jess says she cannot leave home without:
A May Designs May Book for when Jessica is inspired and needs to jot something down
A Noonday Lookbook to share when someone compliments Jessica on her Noonday pieces she’s wearing
Moroccan Oil Dry Shampoo for when Jessica is on the go and doesn’t have time to wash her hair after a workout before her next appointment
Healthy snacks (like these Gluten Free Bites from The GFB) when she needs something during back-to-back meetings to keep her going and satisfied
Health-Ade Kombucha Cayenne Cleanse to keep her gut healthy and happy
Gum to freshen up
And of course all of it is housed in her Mulberry Leather Tote
My personal best tip for keeping your bag organized, especially when you’re carrying a large tote, handbag or backpack: Walker Mesh Bags. I have them in a multitude of colors and sizes. What I love about them is that they are see-through so you know exactly what is in each bag without having to open them. I keep beauty products in one, my airpods and other cords in another, snacks in a third, for example. They are durable and easy to clean plus I love all the fun colors.
What are your handbag must haves? We’re eager to learn and share.
