Maricel Soriano is undoubtedly a classic woman. If her illustrious 50 years in the industry tell us anything about her, it's that she tackles things with a no-frills approach and does everything with a heaping serving of class and wit. By the looks of it, this applies even to her sartorial choices.
In a recent upload on her YouTube channel, she treated her doting fans to a rundown of some of her most beloved luxury bags. In the age where petite handbags seem to be the dominating trend, the Diamond Star sticks to practically-sized totes that are still quite the lookers. Check out nine of them below!

3. Cartier Trinity Cage Handbag
Maricel is also in ownership of this sleek burgundy and gold Trinity Cage Handbag by Cartier. While it may look like a slim piece at first, she shows how spacious it actually is once expanded.
