Collecting handbags, when well done, can arguably be considered an art form. In homage to that, here are 8 handbags every woman should have in her closet. Get your check list started …
The Weekender
Every woman worth her salt needs a chic oversized bag for a quick get-away. It doesn’t need to be snakeskin—but that doesn’t mean it can’t be.
Just For Fun
This is the one that makes you smile and feels perfectly you. A bit of boho fringe? Charming plaid? Make it count.
Cross-Body Party Bag
This is a style that can be worn with a chain so it looks chic and leaves you free to shop, play or dance the night away.
Weekend Casual
For when your neutral tote feels too business, consider this your very chic brunch and shopping bag.
Metallic Minaudiere
Those black tie events and weddings are going to pop up, be prepared with an evening bag, like this one from Anya Hindmarch, that wears well with everything.
Day Clutch
For when you don’t want the whole tote, but still need to carry your necessities.
Neutral Tote
This is your carry-all. Get one in a color that works with everything and always look put-together because of it.
Classic Day Bag in Black
Whether you’re a Chanel girl or Fendi and Vuitton are more your speed, zero in on a bag that has withstood the trends and invest wisely in a noir version.
