I like to consider myself a packing expert, but I wasn't always this way. I learned to become an efficient packer after countless trips that I over packed on, and had to suffer by carrying around the extra weights for days. By now, I believe I've truly mastered the art of taking the "one perfect" item of every essential product, like a solid sneaker or a dress I can wear everywhere and so on. One item that's really important to get right is a handbag. Instead of stuffing your suitcase with a slew of bags for every occasion, try finding the one you can use for everything and take everywhere.

Depending on your style or carrying preference, this bag can be different for everyone. So, finding your match is easier said than done. To help you find your match that's just right, I went on a mission to uncover the absolute best choices you can invest in this Spring and Summer. From easy-to-carry crossbody bags to lightweight totes and even a foldable backpack, no doubt you'll find something that fits all your requirements ahead. Keep reading to shop our hottest picks of the season and find the one that will change the way you travel.
