We’ve all witnessed its influence: A questionable purse can totally ruin a great outfit, yet a beautiful bag can transform a simple ensemble into something chic.

The key is seeking out structured silhouettes boasting sumptuous fabrics and sophisticated details, and voilà—you have the makings of a bag fit for a queen.
