A woman and her handbag are a match made in heaven. You take yours everywhere you go (yes, even to the bathroom!), give it a prominent place on the chair next to you in a restaurant and you guard it with your life. Although a woman likes to have a bag to match all her outfits, we all know that’s not very realistic. If you invest in these 10 bags, you’ll always have the perfect accessory to match any outfit and occasion.
#1 The little black bag
Black is a timeless colour that never runs out of style. Not only when black is your favourite colour! Even when your closet is packed with bright-coloured clothes, a black handbag is essential. It’s seen as the ‘little black dress’ among bags. You effortlessly match your bag to any outfit and due to its timeless style, you’ll enjoy it for years. No matter if you choose a black crossbody bag or a classic shoulder bag, the little black bag is something every woman needs.

#3 Crossbody bag
A crossbody bag is one of the most (multi)functional bags there is. You wear the bag across your body and you’re always ready for a hands-on situation. That’s not only perfect for dancing the night away with that great guy you met at the club; your hands are also free to sort through the racks at your favourite shop. Crossbody bags come in all sizes. Do you want a small crossbody bag? Then look at a small Valentino bag for instance. Would you rather have a large crossbody bag? Then Coach is a great choice!

#4 All-time favourite designer bag
Now a designer bag is on-trend and will still be fashionable 50 years from now. A classic designer bag may cost you a small fortune, but in half a century from now, it’ll be more than worth it. Nearly every woman dreams of adding a classic to her collection. Luxury designer bags last for generations and are often passed on from mother to daughter. You probably think of brands like Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton when it comes to designer handbags, but younger (and more affordable) luxury brands like Alexander McQueen are a great investment as well.

#5 Clutch
Big things come in small packages. A clutch may be tiny, but it definitely is an essential handbag. It’s the perfect bag for hitting the clubs and it’s perfect for carrying on a daytrip. A clutch only fits your cards, some makeup and your key, but what else do you need? Clutches are multi-functional and unobtrusive. The best part? They make every outfit look stylish!

#6 Handbags
A bag is often called a handbag, because you hold it in your hand. That sounds like an easy explanation, right? Handbags may not be the most useful bags, certainly not when you’re in a situation in which you need both hands. But, they are essential to your collection. You and your handbag steal the show and it truly highlights your outfit. Michael Kors bags are known for this and they are stunning as well. Most Michael Kors handbags are gorgeous and functional at the same time; besides the handle they have a long strap, so you can wear it as a crossbody bag.

#7 Workbag
You need a bag to accompany you to job interviews and business meetings. The perfect workbag is classy, tailored and matches your work outfits. Please keep in mind that a workbag is roomy enough to carry all your paperwork and laptop or tablet.

#8 Duffle bag
Of course you want to look stylish and fashionable when you go away for the weekend or on a short city trip. Every woman should own a nice duffle bag. Since you don’t use these bags every day, they’ll last for years. When you purchase your duffle bag, look at the size and amount of storage space. The zip closure is likely to break when the bag is too small for all your clothes and daily essentials.

#9 Beach bag
A towel, plenty of sunscreen lotion, a good book and a couple of snacks and refreshments, that’s all you need for a day at the beach. Of course you can take your old plastic shopping bag with you (shame on you!), but every woman should own a beach bag. You really don’t need to spend a lot of money on a beach bag, for only a couple of pounds you swap your old plastic shopping bag for a trendy bag.

#10 Backpack
A backpack is not the first bag that comes to mind, but it’s certainly useful to own at least one. A handbag is very impractical when you take a day trip. However, backpacks are practical and they are becoming more stylish. Many designer brands carry them in their collections. Have you thought of Fjällräven backpacks? They’re hot because of their looks and they’re practical as well.
