What to Carry in Your Castañer B. BALI Bag

Quick answer

The Castañer B. BALI/312 is a compact pochette, so carry only your absolute essentials: phone, cards, lip balm, and a small sunscreen. Leave bulky items like a full wallet or water bottle at home.

How to pack your B. BALI bag in 4 steps

1. 1. Place your phone first: Slide your smartphone into the bag flat against the back. Most modern phones (up to about 6.5 inches) fit, but check the width of your case. A thick case may make the zip hard to close. If your phone doesn't fit, carry it in hand and use the bag for other small items.
2. 2. Add a cardholder or key cards: Use a slim cardholder or just two to three essential cards (ID, one credit card, transit card). A bulky wallet will eat up all the space and strain the zip. A standard bifold wallet is too thick—opt for a card sleeve instead.
3. 3. Tuck in a lip balm and mini sunscreen: A lip balm and a travel-size sunscreen (under 30 ml) are perfect for the remaining space. Place them on top of the phone to keep the bag balanced. Skip full-size makeup or lotion bottles; they won't fit and could leak onto the satin.
4. 4. Zip carefully and check the shape: Close the zip slowly, making sure nothing is caught in the teeth. The bag should lie flat without bulging. If the zip resists, remove an item—forcing it can damage the satin or the zipper. The bag looks best when worn flat against your wrist or body, so avoid overstuffing.
