admin We spend a good amount of our time swooning over the best designer handbags, from the likes of Bottega Veneta and Chloé to Saint Laurent or Chanel. Every once in a while, you might be looking to invest in a super-special bag from one of these luxury brands. But if your budget doesn’t quite stretch and you’re looking for a more affordable way to get that same polished look a designer bag can bring—don’t fret. You’re not missing out, because there are so many more affordable handbag brands that are creating bags just as covetable as those with four-figure price tags.
Still, the word “affordable” is hard to define, and of course it’s all relative. For one person, it might mean £30 spent on the high street. For another, it could mean an excellent charity-shop find that rings in at £5. And for some, ‘more affordable’ is anything less than a £10k Hermès Birkin. Personally, we think in order for a bag to be deemed ‘affordable’, it needs to be great value—with a reasonable price tag in comparison to those uber-luxe brands, but still with an expensive look and feel. The key, also, is how much you’ll actually use it and how long it will last you.
