Now, more than ever before, I feel like we’re asking more from our wardrobes. For our closet to become less segmented, and more fluid. Which starts with work to weekend, and where our days cross into the evening.

Time for a comparison review, focused on two core bag styles from The Curated… the Classic Shoulder Bag and the Mini Shoulder Bag.
