Which Bag, When: Shoulder, Top-Handle or Crossbody

A guide to the three bags worth owning and the days for each, in stock now.

12 pieces in stock at Mytheresa and Nugnes 1920, as of October 14

Three bags cover almost every day. A shoulder bag for work and most of life, a top-handle bag for the days that ask for polish, and a crossbody for travel and the days you need both hands.

Buy them in that order, in leather, in black or a deep brown, and add a clutch for the evenings. Here are a few of each, side by side.
