The perfect day bag has a spacious interior, luxurious touches, and a conscientious owner.

Handbags have always had more star power than other accessoriesthey've been named after princesses (Grace Kelly) and actresses (Jane Birkin) and celebrated in lyrics. At times, the most stylish bags weren't remotely functional, but the best ones right now are roomy enough for essentials, though not so large that they double as luggage. They have a soft leather exterior, yet support their own weight. They open wide and close securely. Enter the Yves Saint Laurent Majorelle, a bag that embodies all of the above. "It's a visual statement and a functional accessory," says Stefano Pilati, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. Precisely what we'd like to have in our clutches.
