Welcome to The Everyday Edit, a series where BAZAAR editors and fashion insiders share the items—earrings, jeans, jackets, and more—that are so good, they’re in daily rotation.
The list of places we’re carrying a new bag may have changed—or shrunk—in the past year, but the qualities we look for in an everyday bag remain the same. Bags we want to carry 24/7 need an effortlessly chic exterior and an interior that can carry all our daily essentials (a phone and keys for some, a 15-inch laptop for others).
All those features can be found in a single bag—just ask BAZAAR editors. We’ve rounded up the eight everyday bags we’re constantly carrying: the leather satchels, nylon belt bags, and roomy totes that balance practicality and personal style like no others. It-bags come and go, but our editors’ eight favorite everyday bags will help you find a permanent addition to your wardrobe.
Amazona 28 Leather Handbag
“I fell in love with the re-release of Loewe’s Amazona bag. I’m still in work from home mode, so while I’m not lugging a laptop, this is the perfect day bag to fit the necessities (natural hand sanitizer, phone, lipstick, notepad, Trader Joe’s Mango bars) and still look chic while getting around town. The color is neutral but interesting—which is basically my style ethos.” —Kerry Pieri, digital fashion director
Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag
“I invested in the cream-colored version of the cult style with every intention of wearing it as an everyday bag. Much like Coach’s other leather styles, the soft outer is surprising durable.” —Shelby Ying Hyde, contributing fashion market editor
Candy Bag
Mansur Gavriel
“Full disclosure: I don’t own this bag yet, but I need to. Mansur Gavriel makes the most luxuriously chic bags that stand the test of time—and trends. I love the array of colors their new Candy bag comes in—such as a dreamy Sky Blue and a buttery Golden Yellow—and it’s the perfect size for all of my essentials: phone, wallet, lip gloss, hand sanitizer, and a book.” —Bianca Betancourt, associate editor
Cassette Padded Leather Crossbody Bag
Bottega Veneta
“I’m not usually one to splurge on the it-bag of the season, but I recently invested in Bottega Veneta’s Padded Casette Crossbody (introduced to the iconic house by Danielle Lee). Whether I’m running errands or heading to dinner, I genuinely have worn this bag every single day since I first bought it. It’s lightweight and easily stores all of my necessities. Plus, I love tucking in the straps to wear it as a clutch for a night out.” —Laura Galvan, fashion and luxury commerce manager
Sportswear Heritage Belt Bag
“When I’m running errands around my neighborhood, I tend to reach for this sporty sling bag from Nike. It has an adjustable strap that snaps in place and fits snugly across my shoulders, which makes it easy to go hands-free. The bag is also super roomy, with plenty of space to fit my phone, wallet, house keys, and more, plus an internal mesh compartment for tiny essentials like lip balm.” —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor
System Tote
“No bag in my closet gets as much play as this Cuyana tote. On the outside, it’s sleek and polished—I never second-guess whether I can carry it with an outfit. On the inside, it does more than hold my phone, masks, laptop, and a book (or three). It keeps my must-carry items organized, with coordinating leather pouches that snap in and out of the bag. I’m never holding up the Whole Foods line while digging through an endless compartment to find my wallet: Everything’s in an easy-to-reach, designated place.” —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor
Medium Tabou Bag in Smooth Calfskin
“For me, this bag was love at first sight. With a nod to equestrian style and striking gold hardware, it simply exudes effortless luxury—and it fits everything I need for fall.” —Sierra Mayhew, content coordinator
Georgie Saddle Bag
“I discovered this bag through a recommendation from my mom. She is the ultimate Coach connoisseur and collector! This bag is the perfect everyday bag because it’s roomy enough to fit all of my essentials without feeling too bulky. Coach is one of those timeless brands that never goes out of style.” —Mariah Morrison, senior social media editor
