Bags, beautiful bags.!

I admit I have an expensive handbag habit. I love them. Vintage and Designer and Mid-range.

A bag can really finish off your outfit and can even upgrade your outfit. If you are dressed casually a lovely bag can really elevate the look and equally if you are dressed up the right accessories can tone it down if you need them to.

I buy all my designer bags pre loved - usually from Designer Exchange or The Handbag Clinic. They do all the authentication and I save a fortune on a treat. Obviously they aren't going to be high street prices but it is my only vice so I save for them. I usually have a list of the bags I am looking for and stick to it unless I find one I really love. I have a price in mind and I always want very good condition. I hate worn looking bags as I really look after mine so I want them as close to perfect as I can get and then keep them looking that way.

Here are some of my favourites that I own.

The Chloe Paraty. When Chloe re-released this I had to get my hands on a Vintage version.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy 25- This one is 37 years old and in amazing condition! Audrey Hepburn asked LV to make her a smaller version of the travel bags they were known for and the Speedy 25 was born.

The Louis Vuitton Alma. I have mine in the Vernis Leather and it is so beautiful. Possibly LV's most elegant handbag. I love mine. Legend has it that Coco Chanel asked LV to make a bag just for her and they created the Alma.

The Givenchy Antigona Mini in the shiny box leather- stunning! I had wanted one for ages and finally found one at a good price in perfect condition.

The Givenchy clutch in gold and silver so it goes with everything.! Ideal for nights out and it holds more than you might think.

The Louis Vuitton Favourite. A vey popular bag that has been discontinued but can be found on the pre loved market still. It is quite small but does hold all your essentials. It also comes with a cross body strap and a chain strap so can be used a few ways.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 in Damier Azure. This was my first designer bag.

The Balenciaga Motorcycle Clutch. Perfect for a day or night out. The leather is gorgeous.

The Balenciaga City bag . One of the most well known "IT" bags. I love them. I want to get more of them in other colours.

The YSL Uptown Pouch. When this bag was released it caused such a stir. The price was - for YSL - very affordable. Technically a small leather good but you can just about fit the basics in and for the evening it is fine. The leather is incredible.

The Fendi Baguette. Possibly THE most known "IT" bag thanks to Sex in the City. I wanted one of these forever but they really hold their value so are not easy to come by at a price I wanted to pay. This one came up and I loved it but it sold so fast I missed out. However the buyer changed their minds so I jumped on it. I absolutely love the colour, it is so gorgeous and the suede and leather are just amazing.
