Cheap designer handbags

So this Valentino Petal Tote bag does have a really weird look i have to say. I suppose it’s in keeping with the metallic theme that i seems to be happening on cheapdesignerhandbag lately (im not sure how long this phase is going to last btw). The most noticeable thing about this bag apart from the metallic look is the massive petal design on the front which does kind of take over the whole thing i have to say. However the bag does still remain slightly understated due to the neutral brown colour so i suppose this handbag is going to fit with a lot of different party and daily occasions.

One thing to note is that the main look of this metallic bag is achieved by sequins and not the actual leather which depending on your point of view can be a bad thing. I really love leather and ive always thought that the whole point of a designer leather handbag is to show that leather off. Now i know leather can get boring sometimes and designers have to think of new ways to make it more exciting but this can often be achieved with effects on the leather itself as opposed to putting lots of “stuff” on top of it. Still if you are interested you can buy this bag online for around £2000 in the right places.

So its not often that we see a bag come back into fashion is it? I mean the ladies designer handbag world is a pretty crowded place with designers launching new bags all the time and constantly trying to outdo the competition. Theres not much room for nostalgia in the fashion world (well maybe once 10-20 years have passed). Still with all this being said i wanted to review a designer bag that first came out in 2007 and has since made a comeback, its the Siliverado bag from Chloé.

First thing you will notice about this shoulder bag is the shape as its really chunky so your going to be able to fit alot of the most important things inside as its actually quite deep. Also i really like the whip stitching on the handles and around the sides which gives it that real country and western look, which just like this bag is making a comeback this spring. The brown leather also feels really amazing though im not sure if its Italian or not. One thing that won’t be surprise to any of you is the price which is going to be over £1000 in most shops. For some a vintage Chloe bag for £1000 is a real steal but personally id have liked to have seen a bigger discount given that this bag is over 3 years old.
