Cheap designer handbags

So i decided to mark my 50^th post here at cheapdesignerhandbag with something a bit funky and also a bit retro at the same time. The bag is by Mulberry Daria and has this really unique country and western vibe going on which i think is going to have wide appeal. First thing i thought though when i saw this bag is how great its going to go with a any pair of dark jeans, in fact there’s not a a lot of casual outfits this isn’t going to go with. I suppose this is my practical side coming out after all the purple and hot pink designer bags we’ve been featuring on here lately as this is a bag that’s going to suite a lot of styles.

Just because it isn’t too outlandish doesn’t mean its boring as the tassels on the light brown leather add a great flowing feel to the sides. Also the leather really stands out on its own as it has a really deep and reflective quality (i wont say shiny) that just oozes quality. I have to admit I’m not a leather expert like some people i know as i usually just judge any material on how it looks and feels. I’m sure there’s a whole science to it ill never understand. Still if you are thinking about a Mulberry handbag this season you could do much worse as cowboy leather look is going to be around for a while. It can be yours for around £700 in most boutique stores.

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).
