What’s your style?

The bigger, the better.

Do you have clutch bags?

Yes, but I always carry it inside my big bag, just in case I need to go somewhere where I don’t have to carry a big bag.

Where do you buy your bags?

Bangkok, US, UK and China.

Do you change bags often?

Taphenes Lydiah Warona is a fashion stylist and entrepreneur.

Everyday, depending on what I’m wearing and the work I intend to do. I usually carry two bags — one that has my office stuff and another carries my business stuff. I also always have two scarves in each bag — one to tie around the straps of the bag and the other is inside the bag.

What’s in your business bag?

I sell cosmetics, perfume and accessories and instead of putting them in a paper bag, I carry them in a proper leather bag.

And the other handbag?

Bath & Bodyworks lotion, Sony camera, Sony Ericsson phone, Alcatel phone, Clinique lip balm, Enchant liable, Hot Life perfume, notebook, headphone, black clutch bag, sunglasses, eye pencil, scarf, earrings, water, wallet and sandals.

What do you never leave the house without?

My wallet, scarf, water sandals, earrings… basically everything in my bag.
