Cheap designer handbags

So the 80s seem to be a big thing at the moment, everyone is talking about crazy tie die hair and weird clothes and the great thing is you don’t even have to have been around in the 80s to appreciate it. So it is with a smile on my face that i review this totally custom Chanel cassette clutch purse here on cheapdesignerhandbag. First thing i have to mention is that this isn’t an official Chanel product but or even something by a bag designer that you would recognise but don’t let that put you off as the uniqueness of this item really makes it stand out from the crowd.

At the moment im hearing that the only place you can buy it is at a few specialised online stores like ShopLuxirare.com (who’s site is down as i write this) so it could be quite hard to track down. However you can probably expect to find lots of imitations of this bag floating around on ebay et al. Still with all this being said this is a really inspired retro bag (whoever designed it). As i have always said some of the simplest ideas are often the most iconic in the fashion world and with its see-through case and gold chain this clutch is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

If you can track it down (cheaply) I’m sure this is a clutch that’s going to stay in fashion for quite some time, after-all it’s representing the 80s and not competing with the bags of today. My best bet for finding this clutch is probably going to be ebay, especially when it comes to price. I don’t usually recommend the auction site for buying expensive bags but when it comes to a cheap novelty item it can surely be worth the risk for £20 -  £30? Until next time…

So i decided to stop being lazy and write another post for you guys on the latest and greatest in the handbag world. In order to get suitably motivated i decided to pick something just a bit crazy in the shape of this Marc Jacobs fur bag. The picture says it all really as purple fur on a designer handbag is not something ive seen before and i think it’s unlikely i will again soon.

One question that is likely pop up is the dilemma of wearing fur and whether you agree with it being used for fashion purposes or not. Personally I’ve never had a huge problem with it if the material isn’t from an endangered animal of course. However at the same time I’ve yet to see fur used well in the designer accessories market and so I’ve stuck firmly behind the leather school of thought when it comes to handbags. I just think it’s very hard to make fur look classy/stylish when it comes to accessories, wild and unkempt is fine on a coat but when it comes to a bag you want to stay refined.

Im actually not sure what type of fur this is to be honest as there weren’t a lot of details about the bag from Marc (i was too lazy to look to hard lol) but im sure you can find out all the details at his site.

So been a while since I’ve posted about a new bag here but sometimes it can be hard to find anything particularly inspiring to write about. I suppose maybe your favourite designer has the same problem when trying to come up with something new, different but most of all great! As we all know its not hard to create something unique in the fashion world but creating something that people want to actually pay £100s for is not easy.

So with all that being said i wanted to post about this new Yves Saint Laurent tote bag that’s just been released as while it is on the practical side of the bag market it does look quite good. One thing to note that this isn’t full leather as you can probably tell from the picture but even with that being said you’re always going to get great material with Yves. The price point is quite low for a bag in this range at £400 but it does seem like good value.

I mentioned at the start that this is a practical bag mainly because of the size you could easily fit a laptop inside and a lot of other valuables. I suppose it could be the ultimate day bag for many people as its going to work for most purposes and anything you want to carry, If you’re interested check out the official Yves Saint Laurent site.

Its been a while since ive featured a new Gucci bag here on cheapdesignerhandbag but to put it right i thought i would post on this new Jungle shoulder bag. As we are seeing more and more this is really just a clutch with a strap but that does seem to be the way things are going as less people want to carry around clutches these days. Also has anyone else been thinking that clutch bags are going to start coming with a proper detachable strap to transform them into a shoulder bag? Its just an idea i know and not something you’re likely to find on the higher couture end of things but for cheap handbags i think it could be a winner.

The handbag comes in two different styles, light tan and a dark grey. I think i would probably go for tan bag myself as there’s going to be a lot more outfit options that are going to fit. I should also mention that the bag comes with a detachable chain strap as well as the standard leather one (which is adjustable). So there you have it my first Gucci bag in a while and probably not the last however since they don’t seem to be creating new bags on the same scale as they used to i won’t hold my breath for something new soon.
