"To me, a bag is something to invest in. It's the one wardrobe staple that quality and craftsmanship really matters. When I'm wearing a t-shirt and denim, it's always the bag that makes the look." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director
"I'm done buying trendy, one-off bags. There's something special about the craftsmanship of a designer bag I'll have for years. And just like Dana, I, too, believe the bag makes the look — even when I'm running around in old jeans with no makeup on. People will always notice a great bag." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"I definitely always save up to buy bags and, recently, well-made shoes. So you won't find me buying low-top sneakers at H&M or even a cute bucket bag from Zara; I would rather save up for a special shoe or bag, since these are the items I get the most wear out of." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
