"My bag is like my office on the go," says celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. "I have everything I need to create the perfect look, no matter where I am."

Zoe's bag is packed with essentials, including a steamer, a sewing kit, safety pins, double-sided tape, and a lint roller. She also carries a variety of hair accessories, jewelry, and makeup.
"I always have a few go-to pieces in my bag that I know will work for any occasion," says Zoe. "A great pair of jeans, a classic white shirt, and a little black dress are always a good starting point."
Another celebrity stylist, Brad Goreski, says that his bag is "a treasure trove of fashion secrets."
"I have everything from vintage jewelry to custom-made clothes," says Goreski. "I also carry a few emergency items, like a Tide To Go pen and a pair of comfy shoes."
Goreski's bag is also packed with technology. He carries an iPad, a phone, and a camera.
"I use my iPad to look up inspiration and to communicate with my clients," says Goreski. "And I use my camera to document the looks I create."
