- Declutter and organize my purse with me. Today I am setting up a minimalist handbag and downsizing my giant Clare V bag. I'm testing out two smaller purses and I gotta say...I LOVE IT! Keeping only the essentials for this purse decluttering and streamlined everything down to three key pieces.

Hey there, I'm Carla and I started this channel as a creative outlet and experiment.
My goal is to create a home I feel proud of, a body I feel good in and a wardrobe I love... while inspiring you to do the same! I’m excited to share as I makeover my little L.A. abode (one room at a time), curate my style (with capsule wardrobes) and heal my body (50 pounds gone so far). Let’s upgrade our lives together...one project at a time. Excited to see where this journey takes us. Subscribe for new videos every Sunday!

Thanks for watching guys! Team big bag or team small purse? And yes I need a sunglasses case, lol! Free decluttering guide here: www.thecarlaproject.com/clutter-free
I downsized my purse a few weeks ago. I haven't missed anything I took out. My chiropractor was thrilled to see me carrying a small purse. He said it will be better for my back and wished more women would downsize their purses.
Team big bag all the way.
I’m a medium sized backpack girl but that’s because I’m an artist so I usually carry my small sketch book and minimal art supplies with me, or my iPad if I’m doing a digital drawing. It is also handy to put shopping in since I hurt my shoulder/back it is easier than carrying extra bags.
Small purse!
Team backpack. Most practical because my daily transportation is biking.
Also, so cool to see a person's journey from messy to minimalist and not already minimalist.
thank you!!❤️
Why are other people’s purses so interesting lol? 👌
May I as a European suggest another essential for your bag? I always carry a reusable bag with me for groceries or stuff like that, so I don’t have to buy a bag at the store every time. Even if you don’t have to buy them but get them for free, they are a waste of plastic (or paper).
YES!! You guys know how important that reusable bag is!! I will get a small one and add in to my toiletries bag. thank you! ❤️😊
ALL of my reusable grocery bags live in the trunk of my car! I was always forgetting them when I would go shopping and they took up valuable real estate in my kitchen. No more!
This was so satisfying to watch. Something about the aerial view seeing everything was just very aesthetically pleasing lol
Oh I'll have to use that angle again thanks Meegan!! ❤️😊
That cane purse is so cute! How you spend your gift cards would be a fun video too 😊
that is such a great idea! I'm so going to do that! thank you rory!!😍😍😍
“Wrapper for a piece of cheese”. Why did I laugh so hard 😂
you know you have one in your purse too lol❤️😊
I loved this decluttering series! It's so refreshing to see someone changing their life style and becoming more elegant. ♥️
OH thank you soooo much!! that is the goal of my channel!! Appreciated💕💕💕
Just came across your channel yesterday and now I’m binge watching 🙂. Really enjoying! So relatable and inspiring.
Now I need to empty my purse 😂 damn it woman 😂 every video is a good reminder that I need to do better 😂
Hahaha it’s so much better now with compartments and a smaller wallet!!
I commented before I finished the video all the way ...just wanted to add my fiancé was peeking at the video (he usually doesn't watch the same YT vids as me) and I said do you want to watch? He goes no but immediately starts cleaning out his wallet LOL. So just want to know you're inspiring people and now we get to have a free brunch bc we found a gift card we forgot about. Thank youuu!!
Your new wallet and your purses are sooo cute too!
Oh my goodness that makes me soooo happy!! Thank you!! Score on the gift card for brunch too, woohoo!! ❤️❤️❤️
Something that sounds really hard work but in reality I have found takes seconds is to do a quick pull out of any rubbish or receipts once I get home. It means my bag is never really messy and is just part of the routine of putting my bag away.
Also over the years I’ve found I need so much less than I thought, no cosmetics, medications, pens etc and really focus on the health of my back by having a really light bag. xx
the lighter the bag the happier the back right!? ❤️😊
GURL I got a giant purse that keeps eating all of my money. This was so helpful! Also loving the new look!
Thanks girl!! Gotta do that suze ormand trick 😂
Love love love the purse! You simplified all of your stuff so well! Motivates me to empty out my purse and see what is lurking in there. LOL! Thanks for your vids!
Do it girl you won't regret it!! I am loving my new purse setup!! ❤️😊
I love your videos. They are so easy to clean along with. You explain your thinking and not just let music play. Very helpful!
Oh thank you!!
Love the minimal organization.
Found you buy chance, ended up binge watching, so relatable. Subscribed 👍
That summer bag is so cute!
Right!? I love her!💕😊
Soo dreamy to watch! Love the new purse!
thank you!! ❤️😊
Love the new purse you put everything in! It’s such a cute design. And I love the compartmentalization of everything too.
I love the summer basket!
me too! it was love at first sight!!❤️😊
This was so relaxing to watch lol. Love the small bag! ✨
Aww happy to hear it! Thanks so much helena!! ❤️😊
Such a pretty purse!
This was very relaxing to watch. I was afraid those stickers were going to bite the dust. Love the wicker purse! Love how organic your videos are.
HAHA they're a keeper thanks jen!!❤️😊
So satisfying!!
Glad you think so! :)
Love your bag! Fun to watch.
Hi Pamela!! Thanks so much ❤️😊
That purse is everything!! So stinking cute!!
Right!? I’m in love!! 😍
Love your summer purse!💗 I love utilizing smaller bags to organize my purse items.💗
I’m never going back! I love it too!!💕💕
Hey mis Carla, I have been watching your Creative videos back to back. Just love how natural you present yourself.
THANK U laura!!! Glad to have you here ❤️😊❤️😊❤️
Super cute bag! Very organized.
Thank you!!
So satisfying 😊
Glad you think so!💕

Looks good and the bag is gorgeous! I love your sense of humour, always a pleasure to watch. Have a great week!
In love with this new purse!! thanks for watching and commenting belinda!! ❤️😊
Your new summer bag is super cute

Carla many thanks for another great video!
Thankful for you watching Debbie!!💕
Love the new bag!
Beautiful right!? Thanks Lisa!!❤️
Slim wallets are so much more practical! Now, I need one. Thanks, Carla! 😒😘💌
So satisfying! Thank you for letting me (us) see :) and your new bag is gorgeous 😍
Yay, thank you! My pleasure!!❤️😊
Hi Carla! Your new bag looks great!! You did a great job decluttering and keeping only what you need. I love your energy!!!💕
Thanks beautiful!! Love your energy too!!❤️😊❤️😊
I've been meaning to sort through my wallet so I did it right after watching this video, thanks for giving me the motivation to get it done!
YAY Hannah!! Glad I could help! ❤️😊
Loving the new bag! Traveling light is the way to go! 😁
It really is!❤️
I love the new bad and the minimal organisation. I would add in only a cotton bag to use when shopping so that you don't have to use plastic bags. You can get a cute small one.
yes!! I use to have a cute nylon reusable in the shape of a tiny koala. I need to find one again. thanks love great idea!
love the new purse. great video
me too thanks love!💕
You are inspiring and it shows! 4200 subs already!
Thanks for the support friend!! ❤️
I always carry reusable water bottle with me ☺️ also a reusable tea/coffee cup if I want to stop by at a coffee shop.
Oh the reusable coffee cup is a good one! I used to keep one in the car! ❤️😊
Carla, great video! Yes, I also hoard gift cards! 😳 I like the idea of using them online. 🤔 I will definitely take care of my bag when I get home! Thanks for the inspiration!
It’s so weird I’ve always done it 😂 thanks Marcia!!💕💕
Your hair is stunning!! Also, the thrifted purse is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
you have amazing taste tanya that we already know ❤️😊
I like the finished neat look
So much more organized and streamlined!! Thank you ❤️
So happy to see you!! 🙋Happy 4th!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
happy fourth love!!
You can use that as a weekend bag!! It's the prefect size to travel with.
Totally!! weekend or great work bag too!!❤️❤️
I think your toiletries bag is great I have one too. I call mine ‘an emergency bag’ I keep everything in it same as you but some scissors, clippers, plasters, painkillers your sample wipes! Lip balm, anything you might need when out in your neat little bag! I’ve helped people with this bag with plasters to wipes for babies!!!! Love your videos 💕
ahhhh yes! I added a mini bottle with various pain meds... and some floss too haha! it is totally an emergency bag. love that denise! ❤️😊
Wowww..also have plans to do that too! Its like everyday i have to declutter my bag, wallet..but ending up bringing all the stuff 😅 well love this video! 🙌🙌❤
I am so with you on this! I would love to downsize my work bag but would much rather carry one bag instead of a lunch bag, laptop bag, purse... I really just have to commit to one or the other. Love your summer purse- so cute!
i feel you! the black bag was my all in one I would toss my laptop in there my food my planner my trash oh my gosh it weighed a ton. I have a slim case now for my laptop that has a few pockets and I like that as my separate "work item" from my purse now. work bags are a whole other thing. thx elisabeth! ❤️❤️
So glad I just found your channel! Thank you for your honesty and inspiration. Also totally random but that flavor of Trident gum is my favorite and I currently have a pack in my purse too!
hahah it's the best! thx abbey ❤️
Loved (and really needed) this !! And i loved when you invited us to go get our purses and do it along with you😁👏
YAY so happy to hear.... thanks Robin!! ❤️❤️❤️
A purse is something I've been good about keeping minimal for a few years now. I carry a card holder about half the size of yours, attached keys and airpods to it and a bow keyring just to make it a little cutter and that's all my on the go.🙈 Thanks for sharing love watching your videos beautiful 💖💖
that set up sounds so cute! maria! I saw an adorable wallet that had the key ring inside of it. Much smaller than my new one...I hope I get to that level soon ❤️😊
Just watched this for like, the third time 😆, BUT was inspired to downsize my purse pouch to a smaller one! Love you and all your vids Carla!
you are so sweet!! thanks girl!!❤️
I just watched your closet declutter yesterday and felt such a connection to your experience. Now, I'm seeing that there are other gift card hoarders in the world. Subscribed! ;)
YES you are not alone hahaha!!!❤️😍
This lifestyle is a gamechanger! I have been getting rid of probably 70% of my stuff over the course of the past three years. It has been a process. I thought i was done, but then i kept finding new stuff to declutter. But now i would say i am about 95% done and it feels amazing. My mindset and focus has shifted so much! I spend wayyyy less money now and i am feeling content and free. And the stuff i actually buy is good quality stuff that will last me forever because i really thought it through. I love to watch decluttering vids to relax and i am so glad i found your channel! You are so fun and chill. Love everything (except for the unprotected sunnies + keys combo lol)!
love this!! my goal!!
I keep my car keys and house keys on separate rings. For when valet parking. Just something to consider.. ks
ohhhh never thought of that good call kristine!
me too, never together
I use to carry a big bag too. And would take ages to find anything. And then I reorganise everything into small pouches 🤣 and then I decided enough is enough, got myself a small bag and purged every nonsense item in my bag 🤣 my shoulder is thanking me now. Love your vids… they are real… keep sharing ❤️
Haha exactly! Was always digging in my purse for something…thx retty, now I know I’m on the right track!!
My purse was black hole as well so I just did the same thing but downsized to a crossbody and I love it.
I think I need to invest in a good cross body. A small one!💕💕
Proud of you
Thanks Petro!❤️
Love it! You are funny. Love your hair btw!
ahhh thanks for noticing kimberly!! I'm loving the new hair too ❤️😊
I did the same thing with my wallet. Just 5 card slots and a zip pocket. So much easier to use!
life changing!! never going back to a bulky wallet again!! ❤️😊
Love that black bag. Nice to see something made in America on Independence Day!
yes she's local to L.A.! been a long time fan of hers! 💕😊
I can totally recommend switching the toiletries and essentials bags to bags with clips or clasps! Easier to use with one hand than a zipper.
I sort through my bag daily. Plus I have a ton of pouches so everything stays clean, nice and neat. I take out my cash daily and count my money. Manifestation tip. Counting money energetically brings in more money. I say hello, smile, count, organize my bills, return them to the wallet with a bye and a smile. Get more cash all the time. When i say cash in my world it means even electronic credits of money.
Carla, you should take the sample size alcohol wipes with you when you travel. To clean your phone, plane seat, hotel room remote control etc…
My essentials are
Hand sanitizer
Tissue
Toilet bowl cover ( although I find in the states most if not all provide it)
Lip gloss/ balm
Sunscreen
Hand lotion
Kind bar
Hand wipes
I did purchase a purse organizer from Amazon! They have all sizes - great fir big hobo/tote bag
Love it!
I am a Carla as well. Hi. I love watching your videos!! Keep it coming!
Hi carla welcome and thank you!!☺️❤️
The lined-hand-part was hilarious!! 😂
😂😂 truth
It's been a great change!👌👌👌💯🀄
Thanks beautiful!❤️❤️
Currently in the process of moving and it is the perfect catalyst for minimalism. If you don't feel like packing it and moving it then get rid of it. Works perfectly every time I move.
yes perfect time to see all the stuff you don't need! ❤️😊
Hope you're brother is out from the hospital💜💜Greets from Austria 😍💜
Size Ormon…flash from the past!! 😂 Ever since that show I keep my cash in order too. That purse is amazing!
Oprah gold back in the day. I loved those episodes!! 💕😊thank you!!
New subscriber to your channel! Guilty of carrying to much 'stuff 'in my handbag (purse) love watching you decluttering!
Thank you Deb! Happy to have you as a new sub!!💕
I like to use a purse organiser, so it isn’t all just a jumble on the bottom of the bag! I also have a lot of bags, so I like ones with lots of pockets so everything’s got a place
I have always used a little pouch with normal and blister plasters, pain killers, and a mini pen to have things I might need in an emergency!
YES!! I added a little jar with pain killers too. Thanks Emily! ❤️❤️
Nice!
I just bought a wristlet wallet that can actually fit both my keys and phone. I also stashed a lip balm and extra contacts (only toiletries I need all the time) in the coin pouch. This is my essential bag then I can throw it in a crossbody bag if I need more carrying space for that day or I just grab my wristlet. This is working out well for me:)
thinking of getting a coach wristlet from the outlets over the holidays...had one for years and it was so convenient!
I keep a small nail clipper and a tweezer in my 'essentials' bag. You'd be surprised how many times those items come in handy whilst away from home!
Don't apologize for the lines on your hands! You were made that way and you have beautiful hands (and the 'hand cover lense magic' is a fun a thing to do when the hand is pale or when it has a darker tone in the lines).
Thank you ☺️☺️
"i have very lined hands" LOL
Yes, I was told the same thing about receipts b/c they have BP or something. I need to be better about them too!
I like that advice about bills! I'm ready for more!!! Girl the moment I get gift cards, it's accounted for LOL!!! I can help you with yours 😂😂😂
Your new purse is so cute! I love your new wallet! I also downsized my wallet & purse this past year, it definitely made things easier to manage! Love your compartmentalization, definitely the way to go!!
I had the receipt in there from when we went to get tea!! that's how long things live in that purse LOL
Love that particular small purse. I would suggest that you get RFID card holders. And someone mentioned a scarf for the top of the handbag which I think is a good idea.
Thank you love. I’ve never heard of those card holders I’ll look it up!☺️❤️
GREAT VIDEO!
thanks jennifer!! 😊❤️
only thing I would change is the keys with the sunglasses as they will scratch them. I keep my sunglasses in a sunglasses pouch to protect them. Great job!
yes i am so reckless with those shades but you are right! my expensive sunglasses i guard with my life hahah
something I've done in the past, is put a scarf over the top of your stuff in your purse; so it's not exposed. small silk scarf
oh smart! I love having a scarf with me!💕😊
That cane purse is cute, but so open. I would say hide your wallet in the toiletries bag to discourage pickpockets.
I am a huge fan of David Allen. He advises to only handle it once (ohio). You pick an item up, decide, put it away. He mainly talks about email and paperwork, in the context of productivity, but you can apply it to decluttering in general too. I t was a gamechanger for me.
ohhh ineed to read that i am ready to tackle email soon...and working on the paper things rn! thanks love! ❤️😊
Your hands are awesome
You say that cuz ur my friend 😂
Love the new bag. Use the alcohol wipes to clean the headphones and phone often, as they get sooo nasty. Maybe the headphones have their own little pouch too.
darn i totally couldve used it to clean my phone off! and i have the perfect pouch for the heaadphones thanks for the idea!❤️😊
Super cute stuff! Ahaha I love samples - wish I could have them 🤪 I have an essentials bag and a toiletries bag, too! Also I used to get migraines. I recently watched a Dr Ken Berry video about migraines and I think he's right about the cause of "95%" of them. It's been working for me.
I will check him out! Thanks so much for sharing Caroline!!❤️
My problem with gift cards was I always took them back. Ended up having to go to stores, online, and phone calls to find out if any of them had money. Now once the card is empty I leave it with the clerk toss. Great job. Just the essentials. Looks great.
me too!!
I have tried many times to carry a smaller purse but always go back to the large one--and I am 4'10 1/2"!
I use Fetch Rewards so I have an incentive to clean out my receipts ever night.
Smart! Making money!!
People with dimples are automatically cute/pretty!
awww thanks love! ❤️😊
I like the hook next to the door for your 👛 purse! What kind of hook is it? Love the ideas and please keep them coming!
it is from anthropologie they have the best hooks❤️
I recently bought 2 bigger bags that’s more suitable for the office environment so now I have enough room for the stuff I usually bring with me every day: a water bottle, a book and a cardigan. But I can also fit my computer if I need to. So happy about that! Your purse declutter makes me happy, love your new bag 😍
Have you been thinking about doing an economic declutter as well?
that's perfect!! I used to use the black bag as my work bag when I would go into an office...just never had it organized but would always throw in a scarf and my planner and water bottle and more haha.
Yes to economic declutter! And financial organizing...It's on my list for future vids and much needed!! thanks love! ❤️😊❤️😊
Can the essentials go in the toiletries bag? I ask bc the toiletries bag looks sooo good with ur bag bc it matches.
3/22/23 FYI the inhaler shell is called an actuator.
Nice video very satisfying 🤩 Would be fun to watch how you spend your giftcards and how much money you save 😁
I'm gonna try to make that video on the gift cards! ❤️❤️
As soon as I finished this video I went immediately to my bag and cleaned it out, got rid of all the things I carry and don’t use, consolidated, etc.. thank you. Tomorrow will be the fridge and freezer clean out.
YES LINDA!! Doesn’t it feel good!? Fridge and freezer will also be amazing 😍😍
@@TheCarlaProject yes it does
