Louis Vuitton's Epi Twist Leather bag is a multi-functional marvel. Thanks to its versatile chain, it can serve as three purses in one: a crossbody, shoulder bag and clutch.
Louis Vuitton offers the Epi Twist bag in three sizes: PM, MM and GM. It also comes in a crossbody wallet version. For the sake of this review, we're focusing solely on the purse.
October 10, 2014 marks the second straight year celebrating the accessory that millions of women (and some men) can't leave home without. PurseBlog.com created the genius marketing gimmick unofficial holiday but it has taken flight as retailers like Bloomingdale's will be celebrating.
When you think about it, the handbag is worth celebrating. It's a wonderful expression of personal style yet incredibly functional. What else can hold your makeup, work essentials, money, cell phone, wet wipes and more while adding the finishing touch to any wardrobe?
I'm a believer in investing in handbags because they can truly last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. I love my grandmother's bags and can't wait to share them with my daughter, along with some of my own collectible pieces.

There are certain handbags every women needs in her wardrobe, what I like to call The Essentials. I couldn't live without my Gucci Swing Leather Tote or Sophie Hulme Tote. They're both outstanding bags for work and errands. While my Bottega Veneta Clutch is something that will remain stylish forever.

While The Essentials are important, The Icons are revered. From the white glove treatment, literally and figuratively, people give the Hermès Birkin to the lasting timelessness of the Chanel 2.55, these bags become a part of their owner. Not as something that defines them but as an heirloom that remains in a family for generations.
How will this affect you if you're heading to the HP Byron Nelson Championship May 11-18or Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial May 19-25th? Well, the policy is a bit more liberal than the NFL's because it allows opaque diaper bags, something the NFL prohibits.
The PGA Tour's purse restrictions call for tiny bags, though, allowing a bag that is 6"x6" or smaller. Finding a purse 6 inches (roughly the length of a dollar bill) or smaller is tough. I scoured the internet for bags that work.
A Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette works for just about any purse policy. It measures at 5.5" wide and 3.7" tall.
Let me vent:This screams of another policy designed by a mostly male staff that has no clue about real world problems women face when it comes to carrying our crap.
This is Only the Beginning
Expect restrictive bag and purse policies to become to the norm. Leagues and organizations claim that the policy is primarily for security, citing 2013's Boston Marathon bombing as the impetus for tighter restrictions.
One NFL source told me that these policies simply make the security screening process easier. Meaning fans can get into the game quicker because bags are easier to check and security screeners have fewer judgement calls to make.
The source indicated he wouldn't be surprised if the NBA and MLB followed suit.
