Black Handbags: The Ultimate Necessity?

Hi Boppers! I recently decided on purchasing a black handbag after many years not owning one (so crazy, I know ??). My neutral had always been my tan Ricky bag. I found my ultimate HG black bag as I wanted something with certain features but understated and not horribly common, hence why I never wanted a black B or K or Chanel etc. I think they are all lovely and obviously an investment that holds value, but I just craved something different! So I found the Saint Laurent Cabas Rive Gauche when my friend brought it back from Paris last August. I was obsessed. Pebbled leather that’s still soft, snapped sides for “wings out” or “wings in”, top handles, shoulder strap, zipper, flat magnetic pocket on the back – it’s all the best features of a workhorse bag in a nice, lightweight but durable silhouette. Anyway, PurseBop did a nice feature article on black bags, so I wanted to see everyone’s favorite ones, especially all dressed up! ????
