Looking for the perfect go-to bag? Make sure it checks this criteria

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but a bag is her loyal companion through and through. Not only are they a stylish expression of your personality, they're a convenient and functional must-have for every occasion. When shopping for new one, these are the five qualities to keep in mind:

1. Versatility

Versatility has always been an important part of fashion. Bags that can be styled multiple ways are often more fun to play with, easier to wear, and are much more convenient for the style-conscious shopper. The best option for such types are those that come in multiple colourways and can be carried or worn according to mood.

Having debuted in 2020, RIMOWA's new Personal cases have become one such example. These bags are available in black or white, as well as desert rose, and cactus. Its carefully designed silhouette also allows for it to be carried with a strap, or simply by hand. Easy to style and easy to wear!

2. Durability

While some people shop for trends, others do so for quality. Who says we have to compromise? A good quality bag will find the balance between fashionable and durable; it will withstand the test of time and accompany you along for all your adventures (and perhaps, a couple of mishaps). 

RIMOWA has long been known to create such iconic bags, beginning in 2000 with the launch of their groundbreaking polycarbonate suitcase. Their new Personal collection is no less different. Although significantly smaller than a suitcase (of course!), the Personal bag carries the same promise of strength and quality. It's made from ultra-lightweight, dent-resistant grooved polycarbonate to allow for that signature hard-shell feel of RIMOWA. Protect your personal belongings in a bag that's sure to safeguard your necessities well.

3. Classic

Trends come and go, but a good investment never goes out of style. A classic bag will take you through the years, leaving no worries for any kind of fashion faux pas. Pair it well, or even hand it down to your children in the future. A timeless design, much like the RIMOWA Personal, will never steer you wrong. Its unisex form adds great advantage to the classicism it promises. It comes with colour-matched straps and leather lining that runs down to its metal rivets, rings, and hooks both of which come in an elegant finish of silver or gunmetal. Its industrial design is never boring, but always reliable. 

4. Functionality

A bag can be beautiful, it can be stylish, it can even be durable and of a high-quality; but if it lacks functionality, then you've already lost. Look for one that suits your lifestyle. For those who are always on-the-go, RIMOWA's Personal bag adds a touch of convenience to everyday life with an interior consisting of two open compartments, a zipped pocket, and three card slots. 

5. Personality

Your bag needs to reflect your own personality. It needs to seamlessly integrate into your lifestyle and be sleek and chic, much like yourself and much like the RIMOWA Personal bag. Need we say more?
