How to Choose an Everyday Handbag: A Practical Guide

Check width, height and depth, as well as the opening and closure. For a laptop, compare its actual dimensions and case with the bag rather than relying on screen size alone. Look for the pockets and carrying options you use most.

Choose by dimensions, not only the name

Start with what you carry. Compare the dimensions, opening, strap and material on each product page. A compact shoulder bag keeps essentials close; a tote offers a different shape for a fuller day.
