Maiyet Amonet Leather Shoulder Bag: Order of the Day

Sleek, clean, and created for instant organization: Consider Maiyet’s Amonet bag your new little helper. We’re seeing a lot of these über-compartmentalized bags lately, as if it’s almost a new trend, and I’m loving it. It’s like designers are finally getting the fact that function is just as important as the way things look.

You can tell a lot of thought went into this design (as well as the craftsmanship, as it was handmade by artisans in Tuscany). Smallish and compact, it has front and back compartments, each with its own flap. Keep quick-access items on one of those two sides, so your mind stays clear and you’re not constantly fumbling for stuff.

You wouldn’t know it has all these dividers by looking at it: the bulk of the double gusset is wisely concealed, so from the front, it projects a slim silhouette. Of course, a crossbody style is great for busy lives. Attractive organization: Just what the Bag Snob ordered! On NET-A-PORTER for $1,995.

Pair with: Keep your cards and money in Saint Laurent’s smooth and studded Claus billfold wallet for order with a little edge. At Barneys New York for $495.
