There are two types of women. The bag-crazy type typically collects every trend for every season. That’s not bad at all. But unless you’re really fortunate to have an enormous space, most of those bags just sit around in corners or stashed in the closet, never to be seen again. For others, the I-couldn’t-care-less-about-bags type, they own just one or two and grabs whatever they could find and go. But sometimes, having just one-bag-fits-all is just not going to cut it.

Now to help you decide which bags are really worth buying and keeping. Here are 5 types that are truly essential for every woman:
