A classic bag can be a steep investment so we urge you to ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you need something that is moderately sized (to reduce weight) and easy to move in?

A crossbody bag such as the Celine Classique Triomphe Bag or the Chanel Double-Flap Classic Handbag provides both functionalities with adjustable straps and timeless elegance.

• Do you need a bag that is a chic hybrid between a purse and a briefcase?

A top handle bag such as the Celine 16 or Saint Laurent Sac De Jour is a sophisticated carryall featuring dual top handles, dual open compartments, and removable shoulder straps.

Evening Bag: Bottega Veneta Mini Jodie is the signature intrecciato woven construction that elevates any business casual aesthetic and polishes off evening wear attire.
