Recently, our girls Bela Padilla and Heart Evangelista have been spotted traipsing through Europe the most gorgeous-looking accessories. In case you missed it, Heart wore a pair of Saint Laurent sunnies that literally sold out in about 10 countries while she was at Paris Fashion Week.

This time around, we’re bringing your attention to the huge Saint Laurent Icare tote. For starters, it’s every bit as practical as it is stylish. Secondly, it’s extremely versatile and can be used for multiple occasions. The quilted lambskin finish adds a particular level of class, too. Size-wise, this bag is amazing and fits just about everything.

Unfortunately, it’s US$4,400, which doesn’t make it the most accessible accessory to get.

To help, though, we’ve gathered 10 of the best carry-all bags to get:
