Jungle shoulder bag from Gucci

Gucci

Its been a while since ive featured a new Gucci bag here on cheapdesignerhandbag but to put it right i thought i would post on this new Jungle shoulder bag. As we are seeing more and more this is really just a clutch with a strap but that does seem to be the way things are going as less people want to carry around clutches these days. Also has anyone else been thinking that clutch bags are going to start coming with a proper detachable strap to transform them into a shoulder bag? Its just an idea i know and not something you’re likely to find on the higher couture end of things but for cheap handbags i think it could be a winner.

The handbag comes in two different styles, light tan and a dark grey. I think i would probably go for tan bag myself as there’s going to be a lot more outfit options that are going to fit. I should also mention that the bag comes with a detachable chain strap as well as the standard leather one (which is adjustable). So there you have it my first Gucci bag in a while and probably not the last however since they don’t seem to be creating new bags on the same scale as they used to i won’t hold my breath for something new soon.

Not new but still amazing Chloé brown leather shoulder bag

Chloe-Silverado

So its not often that we see a bag come back into fashion is it? I mean the ladies designer handbag world is a pretty crowded place with designers launching new bags all the time and constantly trying to outdo the competition. Theres not much room for nostalgia in the fashion world (well maybe once 10-20 years have passed). Still with all this being said i wanted to review a designer bag that first came out in 2007 and has since made a comeback, its the Siliverado bag from Chloé.

First thing you will notice about this shoulder bag is the shape as its really chunky so your going to be able to fit alot of the most important things inside as its actually quite deep. Also i really like the whip stitching on the handles and around the sides which gives it that real country and western look, which just like this bag is making a comeback this spring. The brown leather also feels really amazing though im not sure if its Italian or not. One thing that won’t be surprise to any of you is the price which is going to be over £1000 in most shops. For some a vintage Chloe bag for £1000 is a real steal but personally id have liked to have seen a bigger discount given that this bag is over 3 years old.
