The 10 Best Everyday Bags, According to Fifth Avenue Girl
What does the perfect everyday handbag look like? Is it a roomy tote, a shoulder bag, or maybe a stylish crossbody? Well, truthfully speaking, the definition of the perfect everyday handbag is going to vary for everyone since we all have our own personal style and needs. However, the general consensus seems to be that an everyday handbag fits your essentials-phone, wallet, keys-while complementing just about everything in your wardrobe.
Basically, regardless of where one is off to, their handbag should work for that occasion (be it work, grocery shopping, or traveling). And if you’ve been on the lookout for that one bag that does it all, keep scrolling, as in this article I have rounded up all my top picks for the best everyday handbags. From Louis Vuitton’s popular Pochette Metis to Prada’s Nylon functional backpack, here are the most popular everyday bags hailing from all our favorite luxury designers.

Starting up with Louis Vuitton’s classic Pochette Metis. Arriving in the brand’s iconic canvas (leather options are also available) it features ample space for all the essentials, while a removable shoulder strap allows for multiple carry options.
2. Chanel 19 Bag
The other day while strolling through the mall, I spotted a woman with a Chanel 19 Bag. And I instantly thought to myself, “Oh, that’s the perfect everyday bag”! But when you think about it, the Chanel 19 really is an amazing choice for every day, as even in the smallest size it features plenty of space for your essentials, incl. a convenient slip pocket at the back perfect for storing everything from cellphone to receipts.
