To offer a little insight into the bag situation at Bazaar, we tapped our editors (and a few others) to share their recommendations for the best everyday bag. Some prefer something small and soft, like a Miu Miu Arcadie, while others spring for a practical Baggu tote or a Mulberry leather carryall. Whether you’d rather go for a big-name designer purchase or are looking for a more affordable option that you won’t mind setting on the floor of a subway car, our team has a wide breadth of suggestions.

When choosing your own everyday bag, Farfetch senior women’s fashion editor Celenie Seidel suggests taking stock of what you already have and letting that inform your next purchase. “Maybe you’re someone who favors flexibility or a big empty cavity,” she says. “You need to know yourself and your bag behavior: If you follow your needs, you’ll end up being able to really use and cherish your purchase, which will make the investment feel very worthwhile.”
