Cheap designer handbags

Ok so as most of you will have realised by now you can’t keep a blog about designer handbags going for too long without a great new bag by Jimmy Choo. I don’t keep count but I’d say never more than a month goes by when the great designer himself creates something that people in the fashion world just can’t stop talking about.

At first look the Rosa Satchel may seem a little too understated for some but I suppose that’s the great thing about Choo as they can get away with both the understated and the bizarre in the same collection. It’s not completely obvious at first glance that the bag is lizard but the embossed effect really makes the leather feel amazing to the touch. Also the shine effect they have created from this leather makes it stand out across the room despite the dark purple colour.

Satchels are becoming more and more popular in the world of handbags these days and I have to admit that I’m not exactly sure why. I suppose on the one side you have the extra practicality of handles but in my opinion if you paying over £1000 for a handbag (£1200 in this case) practicality isn’t coming into it. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t help but think how much better this bag would look with just a shoulder strap, I mean doesn’t everyone use shoulder straps these days? Still I suppose it is the job of designers to provide great looking bags for everyone even if that means designing for practicality, ie just look at the number of designer briefcases we are seeing these days.
