Whatever it is- and  a bag can be that- you should have a few things in life that reaches beyond your expectations. Possibly beyond your means. Something that generates adrenaline, that makes you feel 20 percent more stunning.

To really experience life, you need to flirt with extremes. A life lived safely in monotone is not a life lived at all. Why not experience a little of the absolute superfluous?

There are several classics out there, but there are four essential handbags no wardrobe should be without:

A medium- sized simple- shaped leather style that marries fashion and function, it  is big enough to fit your  everyday essentials and classic enough to be matched with almost any out fit. It can go from night to day, and is durable enough to travel. A good example of which is the Hermes Birkin handbag.

A winter white bag   and just forget  , that rule about no white after labor day it doesn’t apply anymore.

An oversized tote, for work and travel. I use a Louis Vuitton carry all  both as a purse and for travel. It is large enough to hold documents and personal stuff and go through airport check points.

A black patent clutch. Patent  never dates. this Louis Vuitton clutch is a great example of what to look for in a clutch.
