One Bag, One Perfect Weekend Wardrobe

Yes, all of this fits into this one chic carry-all—and you can still take it on the plane.

The downfall of a massive weekend bag is the inevitability that your wallet, keys and phone will end up buried in the bottom. (It's also not the most discrete way to make a Friday afternoon exit from the office.) Trade your duffel in for the Versace Palazzo Empire; it works as a day purse, an overnight tote—and everything in between.
