Cheap designer handbags

Been a while since i featured a Mischa Barton handbag here had cheapdesignerhandbag but i do quite like this new clutch/box bag that she has released. One thing i do like about her bags is that they are usually quite cheap and accessible, ie this bag is only £39 at asos which for a good designer is not a bad discount.

Its a pretty small bag so don’t expect to be carrying around your entire wardrobe in it but maybe thats the point. I suppose its not a true clutch bag in some ways as it does come with a shoulder strap but this makes it more practical for most people. I do however really like the light brown leather and the simple pattern on the front. If anything it is a bit too simple in general though, this bag is definitely not going to get you noticed when out and about. Also for maybe just £40 more you could get something much more stylish (still not a top designer though). Still with all the reviews of £1000 bags on here lately i thought it would be nice to review something in the lower price bracket.

So i already reviewed a Miu Miu bag about a month ago but i liked that one so much i thought i would do another one for this new “pink bird clutch”. The most striking thing about this clutch is the bird on the front which really does seem like it is flying. Best thing i suppose is that more designers are starting to Jazz up their bags a bit, ive seen too many with just plain colours and patterns lately. The bird design on the front of this bag really breaks up the stripes on the front well. This is actually quite a big clutch as it comes with an optional shoulder strap if you don’t want to hold it all day. You could stay that its half way between clutch and tote.

What cant be denied though is that this Miu Miu really grabs attention and with so many designers vying for attention these days youve really got to do something special to stand out from the crowd. I know some fashion houses are trying to stand out by reducing prices and offering discount offers but in my opinion the No1 thing that should drive sales should be the quality of the product itself.

So i think its been a while since ive had a post about a new Prada handbag so thought i might write something short about this new Saffiano tote that has just come on the market. I suppose its a bit of a weird bag to start with as looks like some wallpaper left over from the 1970s. Still its a pretty interesting print bag and it does have a very retro look about it which i think will appeal to alot of you ladies.

One interesting point about this bag is that the pattern is that it is from the Prada archives and has been used before in other designers from them. I suppose its great that they are reusing stuff but at the same time id like to see Prada focus more on new stuff as lately i haven’t been too excited about their latest offerings.

One thing i do have to point out is that this isn’t exactly a discount handbag (by my standards) as its going to cost you at least £1300. Now for Prada this isn’t actually too bad but in terms of designer bags in general its definitely at the expensive end of the scale. I suppose it raises the question of how much you are willing to pay for that real designer look that you can only get with the top designers like Prada and DKNY.
