A bag is the one thing you carry all evening, so it should be the piece you like most. This edit spans structured top-handles that hold their shape, soft shoulder bags for daily use, and small embellished clutches made for occasions where you need nothing more than a phone and a key. Materials run from faux leather and suede through to crystal and acrylic. If you're buying for a wedding or a gala, look to the clutches — the smaller scale reads more formal. For everyday, the shoulder and tote shapes carry more without looking heavy. Dimensions are listed on each product page; check them if you carry more than the essentials.
