Satchel
A satchel could be just the right bag you’re looking for. It can easily carry you from work to an evening out at the bar. They come in a variety of colours and sizes. The latter factor can be particularly useful if you’ve got to carry a laptop with you. Some satchels can easily fit one in, and it’s much easier to style one out than carrying your computer case around. A satchel has a lovely aesthetic to it and effortlessly classes up your outfit. You could even get a couple of satchels in different sizes so you can mix it up depending on what you need them for.
Tote Bag
Tote bags are the creme de la creme of the bag world – you can have everything you need right in the crook of your arm. They have become a staple for women around the world and for good reason. Radley offer a fantastic range of them, varying in so many different shapes and sizes. Of all the bags on this list, it’s our personal favourite. We believe there’s a look which can suit anyone. Not to mention that the tote bag is such a timeless piece. The leather can last for years and years; and it’s safe to say it’s a solid investment for your wardrobe.
Backpack
A backpack isn’t just for kids going to school. They can offer a practical and fashionable alternative for you with your work and everyday life. They’re especially useful when you know you’ll be out of the house all day – you can carry everything you need on your back. If you’re traveling with a backpack in the city, make sure to have your valuables packed at the bottom or safely tucked away in zipped up pockets. You’re prepared, practical and you’ll be looking pretty adorable. Cosmopolitan even mentions a backpack in its list of cute bags so it’s definitely a look you could consider.
A stylish bag can really bring your outfit together, as well as offer you some practical help during your day to day life. Which kind of bag is your favourite?
