An everyday bag is a very personal choice because everyone’s everyday needs are different, but we like to think that your everyday bag is your number one, go-to bag. It’s the bag you carry every single day no matter what you’re doing. In this post, we’ll discuss what makes a great everyday bag and the most popular everyday bags from the most iconic luxury brands.
What makes a great everyday bag?
When considering which bag to buy, think about, what you absolutely need to carry with you, how you like to carry your bag, and the cost per wear (total cost/how many times you wear per wear).
1. Big enough to carry your essentials
For a bag to be truly an “everyday” bag, you must be able to carry your essentials easily. Essentials will differ from person to person; think about what you carry every day. Do you need room for a laptop? Shoes? Phone? Just a few things? Your everyday bag could be a smaller crossbody or a medium-to-large top handle bag or tote that can hold almost everything.
2. Versatile for work and play
Look for a bag that you can easily wear all the time. It needs to be versatile: it literally needs to match everything: cocktail dresses to a yoga outfit and everything in between. Which brings us to the next point…
3. In a color that goes with everything
A neutral color like black, brown, beige, or grey will look good no matter what you’re wearing. Our advice is to look for a bag that will add dimension and texture to your outfits; think textured leather (like Louis Vuitton’s Epi leather), or a pattern (like Louis Vuitton’s Monogram).
4. Durable for regular use
Since you’ll be carrying this bag every day, look for thicker straps, a sturdy base, and made of a durable material like textured/pebbled leather or coated canvas. It should be durable enough to handle the random spills but stylish enough to make you feel like you actually have your life together.
