Buying a designer bag is a reasonable way to mark an achievement, like getting a new job or making it through Thanksgiving with your distant relatives unscathed. But it’s pricey, so we probably only do it once a year, and are pretty discerning about which bag we choose.

Reviewers say they’ve survived 10-hour-long roadtrips without pain thanks to this product, while others claim they can’t live without it for even the shortest of commutes.
