Some bags are functional. Some are fashionable. The best ones are both!
Frances Valentines has amazing bags for day or night. The Lulu Frame bag is great for both. Be prepared to be stopped and complimented each time you wear it.
Lulu Frame Bag - Green
Frances Valentine bags are amazing and the Raye Tote is no exception. The only drawback is that there is no top closure. But the size and details are darling.
Raye Tote - Black
I have a different version of this bag that I adore, but BR doesn't make it anymore. There are several different ways to work this bag. It's great to wear as a crossbody on the subway because it sits close to the body and the opening is higher/closer...
Slouchy Vida Italian Leather Bag | Banana Republic
Technically this is not a handbag, but it's the ideal wallet for your everyday handbag. It's big and a bright color, so you can find it in the abyss. And there are so many compartments that everything will have its place!
Furla Camelia
It's too cute. Just adorable. Honestly, when it's all folded up, I don't have enough room for all of the garbage I usually lug around. But, I will ask my husband to wear cargo pants, just so I can carry this cutie around.
The Sculpted Metal Wristlet Bag
J.McLaughlin makes a great, quality clutch. This one is great for summer events.
