Remember, just because a bag is pretty, doesn’t mean you will ever wear it. It is all about combining functionality and style preferences. Timeless handbags can often look boring compared to trendy ones, but we don’t wear them just to make our outfits cuter; we wear them because we need them.

Apart from style, take a good look at the fabric and color palette. Choose a piece that will last. When it comes to choosing the right color, it’s always the safest to use earth tones, black, grey and red because you can easily combine these colors with any print or any other color.
