Simply put? Four floors of fabulousness. The uppermost tier is for us women, and with it comes to-die-for-bags you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else in Beantown. Caress the luxurious satchels of Marni and the beautifully handmade handbags of Henry Beguelin, and if you're lucky, buy them.

Luna Boston moved down Newbury recently, but their impressive bag collection remained on the up-and-up. Owner Sarah Johnson chooses her bags carefully, striking a perfect balance of what's hot now and what’ll be hot in five minutes. Come for the Jenny Yuen and Rebecca Minkoff, stay for the lesser-knowns, like Aleya NY.

From the dreamy leather carry-alls in front, to the ten-dollar canvas totes in back, to the pricey but oh-so-worth-it proper collection upstairs, this Newbury Street staple is guaranteed to have something for everyone bagista.

The perfect stop for the hip and trendy bagista, here you'll find the hottest bags of the season without having to deal with the stuffiness of certain department stores. .

Davis Square is known more for its cafes than its shopping, but now that Boston’s best consignment shop is bigger and better, it’s well worth the jaunt over the river. Owner Meredith Byam Miller keeps her racks stocked with adorable vintage clutches and purses. Peek under the glass cases by the register for the real finds!

Overwhelmed by the massive department store selections? At Grettaluxe play with arm candy from Marc Jacobs, Chloe, and Jimmy Choo while you chat with the friendly staff at this sleek and sunny boutique.

We Boston Bagistas waited a long time for our very own Barneys. Now it's our ultimate high-end stop for complete with piles of Prada and a myriad of Miu Mius. The space is so bright, airy, and just plain pretty, you'd never guess that it used to be an aging indie movie theater.

A hole in the wall boutique tucked away in charming Beacon Hill, Holiday’s bag selection is small but tasteful, and most importantly, always changing. Right now it's all about must-have fall clutches by Nicole Lee and Ebisu.

This brand new Filene’s Basement is an oasis for those of us who only sling Chanels over our shoulders while we're fast asleep. On a recent trip I spied Betsey Johnson, Elliott Lucca, and Michael Kors, all priced for less than a hundred bucks a piece.

Can’t find that perfect bag you've been searching for? It’s time to dry those eyes and get yourself over to 1154 Lill Studio. Let the super-friendly staff help you pick a style and fabrics, and get on your way to creating whatever your bag-filled heart might desire.
