Handbags

Rarely is a woman's handbag far from reach. An extension of herself, this most essential of accessories holds both the keys to her castle and the key to her look. In myriad silhouettes (purses, totes, satchels, crossbody bags—the list goes on) and luxe yet enduring materials (from soft-grain leather to high-tech fabric blends), purses shoulder so much of our loads. Little wonder we're so passionate about the things we carry.
