Buying an investment handbag is a milestone for any woman; a justifiable indulgent gift which will see you through occasions for years to come. A great handbag can elevate any outfit, make you feel confident and stylish. There are a tonne of designer handbags which will always warrant lusts, but with prices often tipping over £1000, there a tonne of beautiful alternatives which are nicer on your wallet and equally great quality. Here's my roundup of 10 of the best Investment Handbags (including the blue babe above) for under £400 . . .
Thoughts On colour: A black bag is a perennial failsafe, it goes with everything and is smart for both work and the weekend. Personally, I love a grey bag; it's slightly softer than black but I've found that it goes with an equal amount. This structured Ted Baker one stole my heart. Nude leather requires maintenance but looks super chic, Rebecca Minkoff has an awesome architectural tote in 'latte'. As for colour, a great cobalt blue like my new favourite Russell & Bromley tote (top image), or electric orange are fantastic for pepping up ensembles. Block colours work best for versatility.
Finally, don't overlook department stores! House Of Fraser stocks brands of quality at a good price, and Nordstrom ships internationally with a roster of brands including American labels.
Have you guys made your first big handbag investment? Or are you looking to do so at the moment? Which colour would you go for?
Have an awesome day all!
