How to Choose the Perfect Bag for an Event
Before deciding, keep these practical tips in mind:
1. Coordinate the bag with your outfit, but avoid matching it exactly to your shoes.
2. Choose quality materials — leather, suede, or natural fabrics always add sophistication.
3. Right size: it should only hold the essentials (phone, keys, and lipstick).
4. Opt for Spanish artisanal design: guaranteeing quality, durability, and exclusivity.
