The Best Clear Purses
Are you tired of digging around inside your purse all the time, frantically looking for your phone, keys, or your favorite pair of sunglasses? Do you want to stop wasting precious time in security lines at concerts and games? Are you looking for a bag that complements every outfit in your closet? If the answer to these questions is yes, it's time to invest in a clear purse. Versatile and chic, a clear purse offers convenient visibility and practical style. Here are a few of our favorites.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my clear purse?
First, empty the purse of all its contents. Then, simply wash your purse with warm, soapy water and dry it off with a clean rag.
What is the best type of purse for travel?
It’s important to find a purse that fits your personal style, but if you’re also looking for the perfect travel purse, there are some key criteria to be on the lookout for. The ideal travel purse should have plenty of organized pockets to fit all your essentials. It should also be lightweight and comfy enough to carry all day, while still being sturdy enough to withstand the normal wear-and-tear of travel. RFID-blocking technology is great, too, if you’re worried about security (though it’s not totally necessary — especially if you’re not traveling by plane).
