The handbag you choose says everything about you and your personality. Do you only carry your credit card and lipgloss? Do you need a bag to carry your laptop, journal, pens, makeup bag, literally everything? 

Are you a simple clutch carrier? Do you prefer vegan-friendly, leather, cloth, or animal print? 

Handbag shopping is similar to finding the perfect pair of shoes. You’re looking for quality, style, longevity, and an item that captures your personality. We need several different bags at different price points, styles, colors, sizes, prints, and fabrications. If anyone understands, it’s me. A woman needs options, am I right?!?
