A leather bag is an investment, and there are a few key points to consider when choosing to ensure that your bag will work for you. Always weigh the purpose of your bag and the items you intend to carry regularly. It is advisable to use an existing portfolio as a basis for measurements. The bag must fit over the shoulder, check the length of the handle and drop to allow room to fit over a chunky winter coat. A cross strap will also add extra versatility. Bags come in various finishes ranging from a very structured look to a soft and loose silhouette. It is important that the structure of the bag fits the intended purpose to prevent unnecessary wear and pressure on the skin. If you are purchasing one bag for each occasion, surely your choice can make an easy transition between the outfits and the seasons. Look to choose a classic and timeless creation. It's always nice to experiment with color, but if you're looking to purchase a bag for everyday use, shekels are brown, tan and duller shades that may blend in with your wardrobe more easily.
What kind of bag do I need? There are no hard and fast rules for finding the perfect bag because everyone's needs are different. However, looking at the capsule cabinet principle is a good place to start. A capsule cabinet consists of timeless and essential items that meet all your needs and are easy to combine with each other. You can always expand your collection but start with the basics.
Pockets or compartments are always useful to keep order. You can use smaller pouches inside large bags to ensure that everything has its place and is easy to find. It's a good idea to measure the larger items you want to carry in your bag to ensure they fit. In terms of design, your bag should be easily accessible to you but difficult to reach for a thief. If you are carrying heavy objects, you may want to consider wider straps as they are more comfortable on the shoulders. If you are planning to travel with the bag, think about what you want to put in the bag and how it will affect its weight. You should also check if the dimensions of the bag are suitable for hand luggage.
