Classic handbags for every closet

What are your favorite handbags?

I am definitely a bag lady and love a nice purse.  I haven’t bought as many in recent years (though my husband got me a wonderful cross body bag for Mother’s Day!)  I have also been more selective about the handbags that I do buy.  I started accumulating too many bags and simply started giving them away (lucky sister-in-law), selling them, or not using them.  I’ve culled it down almost to the point where I am happy with my bag choices.  Now I am concentrating on the bags I know work for me and for the different situations.  I started looking at the handbags sale on Shopbop (20% off classic handbags now with code INTHEBAG through 4 am EST, August 20th)and narrowed down the bags to classics handbags that would work for every closet.

My classic handbags include:

1. A clutch for formal events or when I’m just grabbing a few things (this can also double as a cosmetics clutch!)
2. A shoulder bag that will help juggle a more robust selection of products I need like a bottle of water or a cosmetics bag
3. A backpack for toting a lot more things, like a laptop, and enables me to have my hands free – also a favorite for travel and commuting to work
4. A cross body bag for a few essential items – great for travel
