Ines says, " It's all in the Bag"....

Five essential models for the well-dressed woman.....


The Big Tote bag: A faithful friend for every day. You can slip your clutch inside.

The Clutch: An essential evening accessory- perfect for "raising-the-tone" if you are under dressed for an occasion especially if it is a couture model with embroidery, beads or luxurious fabrics.

The Satchel: For a casual touch...a satchel is for life.

                    (Merci':IamStefania)

The Handbag: A timeless classic (in brown, black or tan). I added a feast of colored handbags for interest.

A Straw Bag: Your summer friend! A guaranteed style statement.

I must say I love a great straw bag for Summer! I also love a great Messenger Bag and find that it is my favorite "friend" because my hands are free...so Ines, pardon my edit, but I am adding that one to the list!
