closet in sync with your personal style:
MUST-HAVES
Messenger bag: *Also called a courier bag, this bag is usually carried over the shoulder with the strap winding around the chest, resting the bag on the lower back. Messenger bags are ideal when you're on the go. Classic colours like black, tan or beige complement any kind of western ensemble.
Tote: *A tote is typically a large and usually unfastened bag having parallel handles emerging from the sides. If you have to carry around a laptop or tablet, this handbag is most convenient. Also, the shape of the bag makes it a classic. Your tote can be carried with any outfit - from a navy sari to a solid knee-length skirt/trouser and top. Preferably stick to tan or brown closed-toe shoes if you want a strictly formal look.
Satchels: A satchel comes with a long shoulder strap and typically closed by a flap. The dome satchel is a great buy because the bag looks organised and crisp. Wear it with a pantsuit/skirt suit and heeled pumps. Ecru, ivory and black are good colour options to play around with.
Purse/ clutch: *A purse or pouch is a handled medium-to-large bag fashionably designed, typically used by women to hold personal items. A clutch is a strapless purse carried in the hand. The purse can be that transformation piece if there's a party you need to rush to post-work. A classic black purse with gold accents is ideal to go with any evening wear. A quilted bag in leather/suede is also a good option.
KEEP IN MIND
Comfort and utility are the key factors to consider when picking up a work bag. Comfortable shoulder straps, sling options, light and durable materials are just some of the elements. It's also advisable to own a bag in waterproof fabric for the monsoons.
MAINTAINING YOUR BAG
How you store your bag is as important as how you carry it. Store your bags in muslin bags and keep them in cool, dry places to prevent damage to metal or faux elements.
