In 1956, a perfectly coiffed Grace Kelly glided through the flashing camera lights with an Hermès bag strategically placed in front of her torso. To others, it may have been an unconscious effort to showcase the bag; to the young princess, it served the purpose of hiding her burgeoning pregnant belly.

Bags are indispensable to a woman's arsenal. Princess Grace understood that, as do the millions of women the world over who absolutely cannot leave the house without toting one. Find your ideal one with our top 20 sturdy and stylish picks.
