The most important part of getting dressed is choosing the right bag to complete the desired look. The bag you choose not only reflects your personality but also outlines your organizational skills (meaning the efficiency of being able to carry the essentials needed for the occasion). With this thought, we at PROJECT 1000 wish to publish a guide for women, men, and the youth stating the five must-have bags. And the best part is that PROJECT 1000 has many options in each category so you can get all your handmade classics under one roof.
