Cheap designer handbags

So as you know its not often that i feature celebrity handbags here on cheapdesignerhandbag but i have always liked Alexa Chungs sense of style and this new Mulberry bag really confirms it. I suppose to some the gold leather is a bit gauche but i actually really like it. Also the distressed pattern adds a really cool look to the overall design of the bag, although some will say distressed and gold don’t mix.

I suppose if you are looking for the “metallic” addition to your handbag set then you really cant go wrong with this Mulberry. One thing i do have to mention before you all rush of to the high street or Asos is that this is a limited edition bag and there’s only going to be a 40 of them made. I don’t usually do limited edition bags either on this blog mainly as i want it to be possible for you ladies to go about and buy the handbag yourselves if you like it. However with many of the bags on this site now over £1000 (this one is £750) i know that for alot of you just browsing the latest designer fashion is enough. It also raises the question of what you define as cheap as for some a top designer for £750 is a steal but for others any piece of fashion ware over £200 is excessive.

Still i think its great to see a designer like Mulberry doing something different as i havnt seen a cool gold bag (that doesn’t look tacky) in years. Even if you’re not keen on the celeb endorsement or the price i think this is a soon to be classic handbag (for the lucky 40 who get it).

So been a while since ive had a Jimmy Choo clutch bag on cheapdesignerhandbag so i thought i would review this slightly eccentric new Zulu bag that i just spotted on their site today. Its a bit different than anything ive seen in a while but that can only be a good thing. The main effect is the black and white butterfly imprinted onto the white leather on the side of the handbag which is really quite unique and bound to stand out at any decent party.

This clutch bag is quite big as its over 12 inches long but i think its good to have a variety of shapes when it comes to clutches as we all have different needs when it comes to our designer ware. Also some people may have reservations about the white leather and what kind of outfit it will go with but i think if Kate Moss can pull it off then hopefully you ladies can too!

Inside the bag has a satin lining and on the top there is only a standard zip pull which isn’t that adventurous i have to say but still. Since it is a genuine Jimmy Choo Zulu you can expect to pay at least £500 for it but i have heard of some great bargains on the online stores. As i have said before its always best to shop around as sometimes your not just paying for the brand of the handbag but the store you are buying it in, weather that is Saks fifth avenue or your local high street shop.

This cool new hobo at Kurt Geiger is one of my favourite bags around at the moment and its pretty cheap too coming in at around £100. The pink leather really looks great and i think it could have alot of uses as you could almost get away with a night outfit with it. The leather is really durable too as it Bogetta. Its also got a rounded and practical shape that should fit alot of tastes and practicalities.

So we keep seeing more and more of the oversized Channel bags out on the street these days and no-one seems to like them more than Mary-Kate as we see below. Does seem a bit excessive when you have a “normal sized” Hermes Kelly as well though?

Ive never really got into the oversize designer bag craze myself as it can often feel like you are carrying a suitcase around with you. Still this channel number does look quite cool with the large straps and soft black leather.

Saw this very nice “hobo bag” at marks and spencers the other day at just £79.00 which i think is a real steal. I suppose you could say this is the ultimate day bag as its going to go really well with any pair of jeans and casual stuff. Looks like is has lots of room and will be really comfortable as the leather is really quite good quality. Has tassle zips too and i am told M&S bags are really durable which i think is what you are looking for in an everyday bag as it is likely to get alot of use.

Ok so this seems to be happening more and more lately. Designer bags that look very alike. This time it is a bag from Jimmy choo and Marc Jacobs. Now i have to say that they are not exactly the same but there are some very big similarities in them. One difference that i am sure you are going to notice is the Price as the Marc Jacobs is around £995 and the Jimmy choo only around £395. Now that is quite a difference in my opinion. Still is does make you think, are the top designers looking more and more at each others work?

Just spotted this new Bottega Veneta on the runways the other day. Check it out, it really is something else!
