Did somebody say Christmas presents? I have rounded up some of my fav handbags/purses for a few different budgets for you to get ready for Cyber weekend that is in two weekend’s time. I often get asked about investing in handbags and which one is the best or should it be a Chanel? “Should I get a boy bag or a wallet on chain?” For now, I hope this edit wet’s your appetite for handbags, there are some things to remember when looking to invest or just to buy a bag:

  • What kind of bag do I need?
  • Is it practice for my day to day usage?
  • Will I wear this colour?
  • Can it fit what I want in it?
  • Can you stop thinking about it? Will it sell out if you wait too long?
  • Is the strap long enough for me to feel good in?
  • Can I afford it?

The most important point here is the last, can you afford it? Please do not spend above your means, I promise you that no one will notice if you carry a Gucci or not and that is why I put together the under $300 collection. For those of you thinking to invest in a higher priced item, the good news is that a bag never changes, it will always fit you, no matter how your weight fluctuates or changes you go through and remember to calculate the dollar per wear- how often will you use it? A lot I am sure!

I will be doing another blog post on this topic, featuring CHANEL and other luxury brand bags and my feedback on making that investment and disclosing exactly what those bags cost. So stay tuned in the coming week for this, in the mean time, go spoil yourself!
