Cheap designer handbags

Sometimes I just can’t help myself and completely forget the name of this blog to tell you about a bag that costs more than and your average Audi J. Still it’s always nice to look and that’s something you would be doing quite a bit if you were ever lucky enough to own this Bottega Veneta briefcase in tan crocodile leather. First thing I have to get out of the way is the price which is the nice round figure of £16,700, hopefully you were sitting down when I said that.

Leaving aside the issue of price for the moment I think this is the first briefcase I’ve ever reviewed here a cheaphandbags so it’s nice to have a first. The thing is though I’ve never really seen the appeal of a designer briefcase unless you’re using it to carry a laptop/notebook around. Also the shape is always constrained to that same rectangle out of necessity to fit standard documents (boring stuff) inside. Whereas if you take your standard handbag there’s literally no end to the possibilities and designers can (and do) go a bit crazy.

I think the problem as you can tell is I’m just not sold on the briefcase idea in general and especially such an expensive one like this. There’s no doubt that the material used in this Bottega is incredible as you can’t take your eyes off it. However at the same time I’m thinking wouldn’t this been even better as a tote or even a slouch bag where the material can move with you instead of just being a big box? Ok so calling this bag a big box may be a little cruel but I think this fabulous crocodile leather could find a much better home somewhere else.

Theres always been something about shinny surfaces that has repelled me in the fashion world. I don’t want to sound over dramatic but ive often thought that these mirrored bags can look just a bit too cheap when you wear them. Still even though this Christian Louboutin may look cheap from some angles if definitely isn’t from the point of view of your bank balance as its over £600 on net a porter.

Still its always nice to see a different styles on bags now and again as i do get tired sometimes with the predictable leather handbag niche. So a little about this bag before i sign off, i has a distinctive shoe clasp frame and also red lining on the inside which i think is a theme of Christian Louboutin bags lately. Still despite my reservations about this bag im sure there will be a market for this designer and it is sure to be seen in “certain parties” this spring.

Miu Miu clutch handbags are back and this time they are going for something a bit different. For a long time designers making new clutches have been happy with just some bright colours or occassionally some exotic leather but this new purse from Miu Miu is really quite startling. For a start the little red/orange discs are just gorgeous and i love the way it fades from red to brown.

It also has a an almost 70s feel to it but not in a bad retro way! I can really imagine this fitting in well at your next high class disco or modern bar. Its not cheap however coming in at £545 in designer shops, though i think there are some discounts to be found online. I also like the fact the Miu Miu are starting to move away from the standard box clutch bags which can often feel clumsey and oncorindated. The material feels really felixable and its not something that is likely to annoy you more as the night goes on, a good investment that will go well with a range of outfits i feel!
