We all have one or two handbags that we often use for everything and anywhere. Unless you don’t care, I hope it’s not your $10k designer bag. And if you are really in love, then you know what I am talking about. But picking the right everyday bag can be tricky. There are usually several points I qualify.

1. The bag must mirror your outfit. In other words: ‘match’ ‘match’ and ‘match.’ You should be able to use it from day to night, from chic to casual.
2. Look for style. We deserve a designer handbag that makes us look fabulous and not embarrassed.
3. Roomy enough? Buy a handbag that can take all your personal stuff, like iPhone, long wallet, book, iPad and still has some space left for your shawl. That would perfect.
4. Light. Do you have any idea how it feels like to carry a bag that’s too heavy? You won’t survive for a week! You should not feel like you are carrying a bag, the perfect bag should carry you.
5. On budget. It should be hurtful for most of us to see a tiny scratch on our $10k handbag. Comfy is important and we will soon get tired if we continuously baby a handbag.

That sums it all. But wait, there is more. We handpicked a couple of amazing handbags in black that should give you some idea and inspiration.

You must be asking? Why black?

Well, black is an universal color that helps u rule out number 1 on the list. Black matches great to many clothing styles. Here we go.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier Hobo
An everyday bag should be stylish. What’s is the use to buy a bag that doesn’t make us look good. But I guarantee you the Marc by Marc Jacobs Q hillier hobo has it all. Just the style is enough to qualify the value and it’s literally G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. Take your Q hillier hobo from day to night. On Shopbop for $428.

Rebecca Minkoff MAC Bag
Sometimes we want to look stylish, but don’t want to spend too much on a daily bag because we know that it will get abused anyway. We can call it in black and on budget. You can call in the Rebecca Minkoff for its classic with glamorous shine. Get in Shopbop for $295.
