Cheap designer handbags

So it’s getting to be that time of year again when everyone goes a little crazy shopping for new wares and also looking for great designer deals. I’m also getting the feeling that many of you are thinking about a Christmas handbag for the holidays. As I’ve mentioned before I’m not totally convinced on the idea of a “seasonal handbag” as I mentioned before at Halloween. I mean sure it’s going to look great at the time and will get lots of envious looks but what about the rest of the year? Also I’m not really sure what a Christmas handbag would look like, fairy lights and tinsel?

With that rant over I really love this Lanvin Jeweled Shoulder Bag which has just come up on the radar and looks amazing from all angles. The reason I’m calling this a Christmas bag is because of the red jewels patterned on the sides and also the gold strap the whole thing just seems to sparkle (would go great with snow lol). I was a little disappointed the jewels didn’t go all around the bag, the black gaps don’t look completely natural to me but still your eye isn’t going to be drawn to that part.

It’s impressive that Lavin have made a bag that looks amazing with all this decoration and “stuff” without looking tacky as it’s a very thin line to tread. Hopefully I’ll find you guys another few seasonal bags before it’s all over!

So I have to admit I can’t remember the last time I’ve reviewed a Mulberry bag here on my blog. I think it was probably that cowboy leather Daria quite a few months ago which was more than a little amazing. This Alexa quilted shoulder bag really does have a colour scheme that stops you in your tracks, it kind of reminds me of something I painted when in primary school as its a collection of hot shades gone crazy! Not too crazy I have to say as on many levels it works but we all know this isn’t going to be a handbag for the shy and retiring type.

I also have to admit it’s been quite a while since we’ve had some cool denim here on designerbag and I suppose it’s my obsession with all things leather that can be hard to pull myself away from at times. Denim does have a reputation as something that can be v hard to keep clean (compared to leather) and I suppose it doesn’t have the special feel of some animal skins that we love, however there are some effects like the colour print on this Alexa that you just don’t get on leather.

It’s quite reasonably priced for a Mulberry at £795 from netaporter, although one problem I see is this isn’t a handbag that’s going to go with a lot of different outfits. Yes dark shades and obviously denim jeans are going to work but everything evening-ware or even daily office outfits are going to be off the menu. So what do you guys think about denim? Has it seen its day or do you think Mulberry can bring it back to the accessories world?

Its been a while since we’ve visited Marc Jacobs here so i thought i would let you know about this new Imogen shoulder bag. At first look this bag seems alot more “complicated” than i needs to be, to the point were im not really sure what im looking at. There are definitely elements of cowboys and Indians here but thats not necessarily a bad thing and its been done before (successfully) too.

On the whole i just think it all seems a bit too much especially the metal droplets on the front which just remind me of some bad country and western. On the whole i don’t sound too positive do i lol! Still this is a Marc Jacobs bag and that does always guarantee you great quality bud also big prices. This bag is going to set you back over £1300 so if Garth brooks is your thing then get shopping!
