The Necessary Bag
While much of this travel fashion column has been about finding a complete look, from dresses to shoes to socks to accessories, I would like to dedicate this column to the necessary fashion staple in travel, the handbag. Whether you go for look or efficiency, there are no rules: just find something that works for you.
If you are into designer handbags, look no further than Net-a-Porter. Hosting the hottest names, Net-a-Porter is like Bluefly fresh off the catwalk: if you’ve got the bucks, this is as close to fresh as you can get.
Highlight: Alexander McQueen Elvie Leather Tote $2,160
If travel for you is all hikes and bikes, North Face is where you want to be.
