Looking for a couple of staples bags that will be up-to-date for a long time? Want to find pieces to invest in without any worries that they come out of style in a couple of years? We’ve gathered the coolest and most timeless bag staples that you can invest in and enjoy their functionality and stylish looks for years and years.
Totes
A tote is a great basic bag: it’s large and you can carry your whole life in it. A tote bag is a perfect solution for going to work or if you need to carry a lot of things with you every time. Get a horizontal one or, if you want an edgy look, a vertical one, in a color that is basic for your wardrobe and enjoy!

Baguette Bags
A baguette is a small and cute bag for occasions and situations when you don’t have to carry a lot of stuff, and it can be a nice special occasion bag, too. A baguette is a great way to spruce up an outfit at some party, brunch or when you are going for a walk, it’s amazing for warm seasons as in cold seasons its small size will contrast your oversized outerwear. Choose a color that would be more or less basic, for example, black, so that you could carry it with different outfits.

Hobo Bags
A hobo bag is originating from boho style, and it’s a soft bag of a small or average size. Such a bag is great for many occasions, and its soft shape can contrast your outfit with strict lines (a pantsuit, for example), or continue the style of your relaxed everyday look. You can find sleek and soft hobo bags or woven ones that hint on the original boho style.

Crossbody Bags
A crossbody bag is usually a small or average scale piece that features strict lines and a rigid shape, which is a must if you want really a timeless piece. It’s a great idea of an everyday bag in case you don’t need to carry a lot of stuff and want a more elegant and polished piece than a hobo bag. The less detailing the bag shows off, the mor euniversal it will be.

Don’t take anything old-fashioned like those pouch-style clutches and stick to more modern and minimalist designs with minimal detailing. Get inspired!
