The handbag is a must-have accessory for the modern woman, used to carry the essentials to survive a day out or a romantic evening, or simply to enrich and embellish the outfit, it cannot be left at home even when going on holiday or a trip.
Since it is not possible to carry all the bags one has in one's wardrobe, it is essential to carefully assess contexts and situations. Only in this way will you be able to decide whether to pack elegant bags with original and refined designs, such as Italian designer bags, sporty backpacks, or roomy straw bags.
If you plan a holiday in a cultural city, you may be faced with a variety of situations. From long walks to visit churches and admire monuments, to elegant evenings spent in theatres and restaurants, the very different contexts may require you to carry more than one bag.

For the evening, on the other hand, it is a good idea to carry luxurious mini or small handbags, enriched with precious inserts and able to emphasize the elegance of the outfit. For the theatre, precious clutches are a winning choice.
