No matter how much you love bags, you also should admit that there’s a limit to just how many you need. Aside from space and cost, there are many other things to consider, like the millions of unique brands and styles out there. Since we know you can’t get it all, we have done the work for you, putting into consideration work, social, and travel obligations, and have settled on the only six styles you’ll ever need. Our muse is a popular fashion blogger and handbag lover Monica Awe Etuk. A look at her social feed tells us she has a hang on
The Everyday Bag
The most fundamental building block of your bag collection should be a simple style smart enough for work but chic enough to make your most fashionable friend grin with approval. Before investing in one, consider your daily load, and make sure you pick a style that can accommodate it.
The Day Clutch
For those times when you’d rather have a cute bag as opposed to the everyday bag, there’s the day clutch bag. Yes, these days, some clutches come in larger sizes and can accommodate a little more than your daily necessities.
The Crossbody Bag
For weekends and off-duty events, its usually better to go for something cute, light and fun. That’s where the crossbody style comes in. It could go perfect with your favourite pair of jeans or that beautiful summer dress you love.
The Tote
Every girl should own a roomy tote bag. It’s the most practical style of handbag and the very one you need when you are on the go. The open-top shape comes in handy more than you’d think. From tagging along to the office now and then to doubling as the smartest carry-on ever, it’s a style that gets better with every use.
The Evening Clutch
There’s something not chic about carrying a big bag to that evening /night party. It just doesn’t look right. What works best would be a simple tiny box style that all your necessities can fit into.
