What bond is greater than that of a woman and her beloved purse? Aside from the obvious functional benefit of holding one’s essentials, a bag is a fashion statement — the pièce de resistance of any outfit, whether it be casual, formal, or anywhere in between. We know having a luxury bag may come at a steeper price than most, but it’s undeniable that these pieces give an insurmountable boost to any old wardrobe you may have, all while ensuring great quality that will last you years. Want to dress in a simple white tee and jeans but don’t want to seem lackluster? Throw on a designer bag and, in an instant, your style goes from drab to model-off-duty.

Read on to see some of our faves!

Lady in Red

This gorgeous piece is without a doubt a must-cop — sleek in its simplicity yet full of boldness and personality. With the iconic YSL logo to embellish this elegant monogram bag, we just know you’ll have heads turning your way and staying there.

Hold the Phone

While we all love a large bag for its utility, some occasions call for just the essentials. Need to go on a quick errand? Going to brunch with a friend? Whatever the event may be, this Celine sling is a fabulous go-to for carrying your necessities in a compact yet stylish manner.

Let’s get real: lugging around a big ol’ bag for a smart casual event is no fun.

Style Staple

A tote bag: something every woman needs in her arsenal. Not only does it house literally everything you might need for the day — makeup kit, wallet, notebook, et cetera — but it also serves as your statement piece. Ensure that statement is a good statement with a classic tote bag from Michael Kors. Plus, it goes with virtually any outfit, so there’s no going wrong with this one.

Little Black Bag

We all know that every woman needs a little black dress, but what about the little black bag that goes with it? We love this compact shoulder bag from Michael Kors because — well, look at it! Sleek quilted leather, a golden chain, multiple compartments: what more is there to say other than, “I’ll take one, please.”

Let’s Get Loud

While neutrals are always a safe bet, sometimes, you need that one statement bag to break the monotony. Michael Kors brings us this adorably upbeat satchel with lovely compartment space, genuine leather, and the sprightly spirit any closet would need.

Pretty in Pink

Is this not the cutest thing you’ve seen today? This Fendi mini crossbody is not only charmingly flamingo pink but is made of chic velvet and the dreams of one day inheriting Elle Woods’ closet pink-on-pink-on-pink closet. Though it is quite small — being a chain wallet, of course — it’s perfect for the on-the-go gal that needs a touch of brightness to her look. And did we mention it’s pink?
