Every woman has a different bag for every occasion; she might use her cross-body bag when she has to run from one place to another and she might use her shopper bag when she goes to work. It all depends on the day and the activity.

And throughout the years we’ve seen the resurgence of some handbags and the downfall of others. But there are some styles that have really stood the test of time, and have hence become investment bags or as others would call them, classics.

And since handbags have the ability to influence all aspects of your day, why shouldn’t you invest in styles that will never fade? To help you out, we’ve scoured some of the most timeless bag styles in the Photo Gallery below.
