Cheap designer handbags

So i was thinking today about what or who decides whether a particular handbag or purse is cool or not. Im not sure why i was thinking about this but its probably because i see so much divided opinion throughout different bag blogs and review sites over whether a particular designer has hit the mark or not. Now i know when it comes to fashion people rarely agree but i think its been a while since we have seen a really landmark product launch in the designer handbag world. I mean there are big launches but it usually arrives with a wave of equally positive and negative reviews no matter how much work the designer has put into the bag. Still i suppose this is the nature of the fashion world and anyway will it ever be possible to create the perfect purse,clutch,tote or even shoulder bag?

So with this in mind i just found the new range of clutch handbags by Colette for the spring season and i have to say they look pretty good (if a little conservative for my tastes). As you would expect from a leading French designer though these clutches are very chic and also understated to a point. The good points though are the many different designs for these bags as you have everything from cream to zebra print to fit your personal style. Another plus is the price as they are only going to set you back around £115 witch in the clutch bag world is a real bargain (i will not say budget). Anyway i know a lot of people on the blog may not be familiar with Colette but if you’re looking for something elegant, French and somewhat cheap then you really cant go wrong with this designer.

So thought i would take the chance to clock in again here at cheapdesignerhandbag and give you guys a new post. Im actually on holiday at the moment so havnt really been up to date with whats going on but its nice to have a break. So here is a particularly interesting clutch from Jane de Bono Accessories which has the unique claim to fame of being completely handmade but available for under £50. Now how true this is i dont know but weather you think the the fact that it is handmade or not is important i think is a pretty cool clutch bag.

The front is a kind of grey leather with the word “Love” on the side in a kind of arty style. On the other side which you cant see in the picture is bright red. Best thing i think about this handbag is the retro rock/punk feel which you dont see too often with alot of bags these days. Things in the clutch world can be a bit formal and serious sometimes so i think this makes a welcome change. Until next time

So this may be a first here on cheapdesignerbags as this is the first ecofirendly clutch handbag that we have reviewed. This handbag is made by a new company called Ascension and its made through a collaboration between many disadvantaged people all across the world. Un-surprisingly im not totally familiar with all of the details but still it’s the thought that counts and i think this is a great idea in general.

The clutch features soft brown leather and also has cute little diamond studs on the outside. It is quite small but i think thats the idea with clutch bags in general and i think alot of designers have forgotten this recently. Also it is really quite cheap at only £45 online which i think is a bargain. Check out their site if you interested in more eco friendly fashion.

Miu Miu clutch handbags are back and this time they are going for something a bit different. For a long time designers making new clutches have been happy with just some bright colours or occassionally some exotic leather but this new purse from Miu Miu is really quite startling. For a start the little red/orange discs are just gorgeous and i love the way it fades from red to brown.

It also has a an almost 70s feel to it but not in a bad retro way! I can really imagine this fitting in well at your next high class disco or modern bar. Its not cheap however coming in at £545 in designer shops, though i think there are some discounts to be found online. I also like the fact the Miu Miu are starting to move away from the standard box clutch bags which can often feel clumsey and oncorindated. The material feels really felixable and its not something that is likely to annoy you more as the night goes on, a good investment that will go well with a range of outfits i feel!

Im always looking for new styles her at cheapdesignerbag and one thing i do like to see is a bit of Art Deco now and again. So you wont be surprised to hear that i really love this cheap new clutch from Fenn Wright Manson. Now i have to admit that i havnt heard alot about this designer as they are pretty new on the scene but so far i think i like what i see. They do have a reputation for pushing the boundaries of modern handbag design and i think that can never be a bad thing.

This designer bag in particular seems to be based around a firework display so it should be at home on your average winter night out! The bow on the side looks really cool but it also quite understated too as it fades into the rest of the overall design. Also have yet to manage the best thing about this clutch and thats the price as its only £65 from John Lewis which i think is a great deal for a top designer. Let me know what you think.

So i have to admit i have not always been a fan of Stella McCartney, mainly because over the past few seasons her handbags havnt really been up to standard. I can understand this from one perceptive as she has been focusing more on her designer ware but even so. However it looks like she is starting to produce some really interesting designs again mainly in the clutch handbags arena.

So the first thing you or anyone else is going to notice about this clutch is the bright yellow leather. It really makes a bold statement and i suppose it is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. One problem you may have is finding something to match this, however where there is a will there is a way and i have a feeling some designer eveningwear may fit. I have to mention this is also a very rational clutch bag as is only has a very small gold chain for the wrist and not the big DKNY straps that we have seen alot in recent years.

One thing that does go against this bag is the price as its around £350 in most high street stores which i think is alot for such as small bag. Also you have to consider how much use you are going to get out of a clutch handbag like this as its really only going to be used for special occasions. Still i think its a really great return to form for Stella so you might want to check out some of her other bags too!

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!
