HOW TO CHOOSE A BAG FOR LIFE

“I believe the convenience of a bag infinitely enhances its beauty. A good bag should be weightless. I also make sure to design bags that can be easily packed without sacrificing their shape or wearability. There’s an inherent statement a handbag makes that defines every woman, making it the single piece in her wardrobe that she should not compromise on.” — Myriam Schaefer Denim bag, Myriam Schaefer ($2,900, at Holt Renfrew, holtrenfrew.com)
