Cheap designer handbags

Ok so i know we have been looking at mostly leather handbags on the blog over the last few posts but i think its about time we has some beautiful suede to add to our collection. This designer bag is from DKNY and while their reputation in the bag market has come mostly from the leather range however they are starting to really branch our now into some great designs. This is another hobo bag that has a really casual drawstring around the top which will allow you to just throw whatever you need into it.

Because of its ultimate versatility i think this is a really great bag for everyday use and should get alot of use. Also i think the colour is going to go really well with alot of outfits, i think that everything from jeans to leather jackets should work really well with this bag. The leather strap that holds the bag looks really comfortable too and i suppose this is something you are always looking for in a bag that you are going to be using every day. Too many times i have seen friends buy designer bags and justifying the price by saying they are going to use it every day. However this idea often falls apart when they realise that many of todays designer handbags are not really meant for constant use, im not trying to say that they are all uncomfortable but remember style does often come at a price and i don’t just mean money!

So with all that being said i think this is a great bag by DKNY and probably one of my favourites this year. Its not the cheapest coming in at around £200 but i think this is a style of suede that is not going to go out of style for quite some time. Check them out a DKNY.com soon as i think buying direct can save you a few pounds though its always best to shop around a little.

So Donna Karan has been spoiling us again this fine winter with another small and really cute designer tote bag from the new collection. It comes in faux crocodile which i think is really cool and i have to admit ive had a fascination with croc leather ever since i saw crocodile dundee! Im not sure if crocodile is an endangered species of not but i don’t see many genuine designer crocodile handbags around these days, anyway i heard they they are really expensive now though?

Also with this bag as you would expect from DKNY you get lots of little pockets and compartments inside to store stuff and you can actually fit quite alot in even though this is a pretty small tote bag. I think this kind of back is going to appeal mostly to working people as your not going to be able to carry alot in it, however i do believe less is more!

So i thought it was about time that i did a post on some great DKNY handbags as there has been a serious lack of the designer bags from new york in the blog. This handbag im reviewing in particular is a Equestrian Hobo and it costs around £120 in most of your favourite stoes. I suppose you are wondering why is is called the Equestrian well its mainly because of its horse shoe shape and the way it hangs on the arm.

The leather is also really good quality and its a really cool dark brown that you will find goes with most outfits. As i have mentioned before DKNY have a really good reputation for making good leather and Donna Karan has never let me down yet when it has come to durability. In alot of ways this design reminds me of the older Jimmy choo bags that we saw last year but i still think its a great designer make. Also coming in at around the £100 keeps it cheap enough to be taken around every day without too much worry. I often wonder what people who carry couture handbags at £1000s to your average pub and restaurant are thinking! Then again if you can afford it you probably dont care.

So just saw this neat little clutch bag at asos and wante to let you guys know all about it. The style is very Jimmy choo and i think its a real steal at just £15. It can still be hard to find a clutch that follows the main style guidelines of comfort and lightness and still being small enough to be elegant but i think this bag might just pull it off.

On another note i think its great that more of these great designs are starting to filter down from the big fashion houses like Channel and Fendi to the highstreet. We have all wanted to see the latest designs from the Milan catwalk on the highstreet for a while but i have to admit that as far as clutch bags go it has taken a while. Still better late than never i suppose!

So this is something that we have all been waiting for, a cheap bag from Fendi that most of us can afford. Well when i say cheap i mean relatively as this designer bag is still around £499 from specialist stores. However when you compare this to the usual price of Fendi bags which can hit up to 5k i think this is a steal.

The other thing i like about this designer hobo bag is it has a kind of timeless quality that seems to be missing from many of todays bags. This is not a kind of here today and gone tomorrow designs as it has a very classic understated design that never really gets old. Its also a really functional bag that will get alot of everyday use and i think it will be great for all occasions. The zips on the front are also really accusable (and look great too) so its a bag you are going to be carrying alot of your stuff around in. Fendi also have a good reputation for quality leather as they have been putting it in Jackets and coats for years so i expect their handbags are going to be just as hard wearing.

I know for many of you that this bag coming in at just under half a grand can never be considered “cheap” but i think you’ve got to think long term and how long this bag it going to last you. Also i really think that everyone should own some Fendi at least once!
