The Work Bag

When it comes to handbags I have pretty high standards and strict guidelines; quality, style, function, etc.  So it's no surprise that many contemporary/bridge-line designers/brands fail to make the cut.  Apparently, I'm not the only one with these standards as we see new designers and brands every year trying to make it in this market only to fail after a few seasons or so.

With that said, let's shift to the contemporary designers that are succeeding and have made the cut.  Below are my favorite bags that are reasonably priced and have style and quality.  Coincidentally, they all just happen to be great 'every-day'/'work' bags and are worth investing in.
