Ah, the Great British high street—we’ve got a lot to thank it for. Between its affordability and sheer convenience, it’s become our primary way to shop, and when it comes to trends, we can always rely on it to deliver accessible takes on runway pieces. More often than not, scouring the stores can uncover hidden gems and turn unexpected pieces into overnight successes, and with a new season of clothes and accessories making their way into stores, there is plenty to be excited about for the season ahead.  Marks and Spencer has had a particularly good run of transitional pieces and standout accessories in the last few months (who could forget those luxe-looking sandals), and we’ve found the latest piece in demand on the site, and it lo...

In terms of features, we always recommend opting for a classic black, tan or cream shade if you want the most luxury feel. The only exception this season is & Other Stories’ green woven style which could very easily pass for a Bottega classic. Minimalist gold buckle detailing always elevates, and braided or woven leather feels particularly special at the moment. And finally, real leather options may cost a little more but will always look and feel more expensive, as well as lasting much longer too.  Keep scrolling, then, and you’ll find 25 of the best expensive-looking handbags available right now, any of which will add a luxury feel to your upcoming autumn wardrobe… You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

We spend a good amount of our time swooning over designer handbags, whether they’re Bottega Veneta, Chloé, Hermès, The Row or Chanel. While our arm-candy allowance isn’t quite what we’d like it to be, we never feel like we’re missing out because there are so many 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. 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, it could mean a price as high as £350. But we think in order for a bag to be deemed affordable, it all comes down to how much you’ll...

Perhaps the most exclusive classic designer handbag brand on our list, Hermès is everlasting in its appeal thanks to its timeless design and, yes, it’s rarity. The sale of any new bag lies wholly with the sales teams’ discretion—there’s no guarantee you’ll be offered the colour, size, or even design you request, or if you’ll even be served that day. Don’t be disheartened if you aren’t—I know people who have been denied one day, only to return the next and leave with a Hermès in hand. Like Chanels, they also hold their value on the resale market, too.  You’d be forgiven for assuming the Birkin would have made our prestigious list, but we think Kelly is Hermès’ unsung hero—as does Ghin. “The Hermès leather goods collection is exquisite in design and quality, but of all ...

You’ll be glad to hear, then, that I’ve compiled an edit below of the best minimalist handbags of all time for you to peruse, just in case you happen to be in the market for your next purchase. Some are luxury icons that have already been around for decades, proving their worth a hundred times over, and some are newer designs I can confidently say have a lot of life in them yet. There’s high-end additions and there’s some more affordable options too, but they all make for timeless investments it would be hard to regret. At first sight, there might not seem to be anything particularly special or recognisable about these bags—but put any of them in front of a fashion person and, not only will we identify them a mile away, you’ll have us swooning instantly— waxing lyrical about the desig...

If there’s one accessory that epitomises the ’90s, it’s surely the baguette bag. Just one glimpse at its teeny proportions and dainty shoulder strap will take you thundering down memory lane to a time when jeans were low-slung and crop-tops were in plentiful supply. For me, the trend has connotations of chick-flick heroines, glamazon girl-band members and, well, Regina George. As an accessory, it certainly had a particular ‘look’ attached to it.

Ask any fashion-loving person what they have on their dream shopping wish list, and they’ll likely mention at least one handbag. What can we say? We’re suckers for beautiful accessories. A few years ago, you could probably guarantee that the bags at the top of our lists would come from one of the biggest designers—something like Loewe, Gucci or Chloé. And, sure, those super-high-end bags still hold a place on our vision boards for special occasions and major milestones. But recently, with designer bag prices rising higher and higher, there is now a space for premium-looking styles that sit at the more affordable end of the scale, and they’ve been wooing us in just the same way.

As a self-confessed handbag lover, I spend a lot of time looking through new season pieces. I trawl through fashion sites each day for work (and pleasure), and have noticed one particular theme emerging when it comes to handbags. Whether it’s crochet, weaving or macrame, it’s all about beautiful texture and intricate detailing. The best part? Textured bags are a trend that will truly stand the test of time. When adding a new handbag to my collection I need to know that the piece will work with my wardrobe for years to come. I’ve pulled together the best textured bags to match any look. Woven handbags that will complete your tailored office outfit, crocheted creations that are calling for summer dresses, and intricate macrame pieces t...
