Cheap designer handbags

So time for another post here at designerbag and since I haven’t had a clutch bag here in a while I thought i would tell you about this latest addition from Chloe called the “Rodas” (im not sure what it means lol). This clutch does appeal to the eye straight away as it looks like a little present wrapped up in a black bow with its leopard skin wrapping paper.

The best thing about this clutch is just how soft and squash-able the leather is as you hold it. So often we find really hard handbags both in the tote and clutch range that don’t feel comfortable in any way and so not really practical for everyday use.

For a Chloe clutch I do think this bag is quite reasonable overall at just over £220 which for a top designer is not bad. I do have to think back a long way before I can remember a major fashion house getting close to the £200 mark with a new Clutch. Of course you can always wait a season or two in the hope the price comes down, however it’s not always a fool-proof plan as some handbags become instant classics as soon as they come out keeping prices high.

With all this being said I think if you are looking for a practical clutch that you can use every day but also stands out in its own right by looking a little wacky then this could be the autumn bag for you!

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.

So i just realised i have yet to have a “real” Chloe bag on my blog. So to make amends here is a new slouch bag in red leather which i am starting to really like. It has triangle pulls on the zips and a red tassel on the end. The best thing about this bag is it just looks like you want to mess around with it straight away with all the compartments and folds.

Also it looks really comfortable as my first thought was this will be a great day to day bag to carry around the essentials. It does seem to have alot of room inside with several compartments of different sizes. I do think that Chloe has a great reputation for designer bags but i haven’t seen anything i really like in the last few seasons. However i think this is a really great move back into the mainstream market for them as this designer bag is going to appeal to alot of different people. I hope to include more every day handbags on this blog in the future as i think while we all aspire to the couture evening bags there is always a need for the practical side of things too!

Around £350 on the highstreet

I really love exotic leathers and it doesn’t get much better than this beautiful Elise Python in whiskey leather. The fabric really looks incredible and its a rare occasion when one of the darker colours that i usually avoid stands out much more than your average pink.

I think this designer bag is going to be on the must haves for professional people in the new year as it has a classy but still understated look which i think is going to be a real hit. Still its not that cheap as its going to cost around £1400 in Saks but if you ask me its worth every penny and id have it over 100 tote bags any day.
