Cheap designer handbags

So I’ve decided to come over all sensible with this latest handbag review and it doesn’t get more sensible than a bag called the “shopper” which should facilitate more shopping in general! The bag in question is the Nylon Large Shopper from DKNY which is just new out this autumn. I suppose the first thing that people may be put off about is the Nylon material which I know is often thought of as kryptonite in the fashion world as its just one of those things you either love or hate. If there is a good point about Nylon is that it’s so easy to keep clean and looking like new. And I can tell you that it’s a pet peeve of mine that so many of today’s designer handbags look like designer floor mats after a few months of use, some materials just don’t wear well once out to the boutique.

I also have to mention how practical this bag is as its immediately obvious how much you can fit into this bag when out shopping. It’s so deep buts it’s also wide which is unusual for a shoulder bag, but also important if practicality is needed. I think this is probably the cheapest DKNY bag I’ve featured here as its £140 on the official site. However you have to remember this doesn’t include import tax if you’re getting it sent here to the UK (can anyone explain how that works?). I have yet to see a supplier here in the UK so importing may be the only option if you’re serious about this handbag.

So another bag for you practical readers here, is this your thing? Or do you wanna stand out a bit more? Until next time…

I do want to at least try to be positive about this latest handbag from Stella McCartney as I think she comes up with some really off the wall ideas when it comes to fashion, and for that she should be applauded. However you will quickly realise after forking out £600 for this “python” bag that it is not python at all but full lovely nylon instead. Yes while it really is great and noble that Stella refuses to use any animal skins in her work I really don’t think this comes anywhere close so some of the python bags I’ve reviewed here by Nancy Gonzalez and Carlos Falchi.

Even if you put aside the aesthetics (i don’t know why you would) the feel of 100% pure nylon sends shivers up my spine every time I think about it. How a bag feels is just as important as the look and I know that python and some leathers really mould to your body with use and if you are using your bag for practical reasons and not just for show then this is essential.

On the one hand I could understand Stellas stance if it were fur she was against as that bandwagon has been going since the 90s, but python isn’t an endangered species (according to Wikipedia which hasn’t lied to me yet) and cows as far as I’m aware aren’t going anywhere soon. Besides if you where a cow (stay with me) would you rather end up as a lovely Crossbody from Donna Karan or a big mac in McDonalds? I think I need to stop writing posts late at night lol
