A practical white handbag? We understand that you’re skeptical, but we are referring to the wonders of epi leather.

The Louis Vuitton textured hide was introduced in 1985. Known for the variety of bold colors, they’re a great alternative to the company’s monogram and damier — equally as recognizable without the overt brand logo.

Epi is dyed all the way through and extremely durable — designed for use in modern travel conditions. (It always comes back to its luxury travel heritage for LV.) That means that it wipes off with a simple polishing cloth or spot cleaned with white eraser and it stays shiny. It also doesn’t show wear as easily.

If you’re still not convinced that you can have a bag such as this ivory Pont Neuf GM, you can try red, yellow, black or butterscotch-y tan. A logo-free statement bag that is just loud enough.

There’s nothing easier or more fun right now than changing your look with a statement bag.

One part portfolio, another part briefcase, Celine’s tri-color envelope bag has serious It potential. The subtle color blocking and shoulder strap make it feel very now, but also classic.

In addition to the obvious Phoebe Philo cool factor, it has another thing going for it — it’s just big enough for an iPad.

Meet your new go-to bag. The classic Bottega Veneta Veneta bag is big enough to be an everyday bag, but also chic and easily carried on your shoulder to go out to dinner.

Thanks to the leather-weaving technique, intrecciato, Bottega Venetta bags are instantly recognizable, yet also discreetly logo-free.

Founded in 1966, the Italian luxury goods house is best known for its leather goods — and for a reason. The masterful bags like this one are made from soft, luxurious leather and the woven designs give them just enough structure.

The Veneta strikes that perfect balance between being polished and looking like you’re not trying too hard. The definition of easy-going glamour.

It’s hard to deny — minibags are soooo cute. When you go with Chanel such as this little postcard-size bag, you’re clearly carrying a classic.

It has plenty of  room for your essentials — lipstick, cell phone and keys. You can pop it in into a larger bag for day and then pull it out for an instant-evening look.

It’s a great way to pop a little bit of color, which in this bordeaux is practically a neutral, especially this season when anything goes with color. So you can wear it with bright coral or white or turquoise.

Clearly, size is all relative. Afterall, if something doesn’t fit in the 4.5 x 6-inch compartment, you probably don’t really need it.
