Have you ever wondered which designer bags are most popular in major cities? Whether you're a longtime resident or vacationing somewhere for the first time, it's fascinating to know the go-to bags in your destination of choice.

As a fashion person, it's exciting to draw inspiration from local trends - and that includes having the most regionally-covered style on your arm.
