Frederike, 34, Amsterdam, Holland
Where was the photo taken?
At home in Amsterdam with my cat.
What’s in your handbag?
Wallet with of course some business cards of Train je talent, Flyers of Train je talent, Iphone, to always keep in touch with the world, sunglasses, an umbrella and scarf, you never know what kind of whether it’s going to be in Holland, Ipod shuffle when riding my bike, lights for my bike in the dark. In Amsterdam bikelights are always broken, so you need these lights. You have to pay a lot of money having no lights, bike keys & house keys, pens for writing down unexpected important things, tissues, a little mirror - I only use that when a fly has flown into my eye, a collapsible hairbrush, Labello, handcream, chewing gum, and a secret box (the little purple thing) for the monthly discomforts.
Which item do you value the most? 
My keys: my bike keys because they make me free and bring me (almost) everywhere I wanna go and my house keys because they’re the access to a warm, cozy home.

Jenni Falconer’s Handbag, London
...we all stood on in amazement to find that Jenni only had five things in her handbag at the Nokia N8 launch party: debit card with her name as Miss (she only got married in July), blusher, eye liner, iPhone and £35 in Scottish notes. So there you go, proof indeed that if you know what you want to do in life, less is definitely more.
