While many “It bags” have earned the coveted bag spotlight, only a select few combine style with true functionality. Countless trendy purses may look chic, but they often lack the essential features of a reliable everyday carryall.
However, several practical Hollywood style icons have discovered their ultimate go-to accessory: the Ralph Lauren “Ricky” bag.
