In Search of the Perfect Bag

Finding the right bag often seems like an endless search. Just when you find one you love, you find something lacking and on the search goes.  It’s a trial and error game that can drain your wallet and energy.

Here are some steps to help you develop a more organized approach.  Investing a little time to really assess your ideal bag before you start your search will save you time, energy and money.

Style Preferences:

• Color:  What color(s) do you like?  What is the color you often carry?  Before you decide on a color change, consider how you plan to use it. 
  
  

• Shape: Lightweight or structured? 
  
  

• Opening: Do you prefer zip, drawstring, flap, buckle, toggle or magnetic closures
  
  

• Straps:  Are you into shoulder bags, top handles, clutches, totes?  Also consider the strap type …thick, thin or rolled.
  
  

• Extras:  What are the added items that you love … protective feet on the bottom, cell and zip pockets, external pockets, special details?
  
  

• Load Style – What works for you?  Do you simply need something to hold your wallet and keys, or are you the “carry everything” type? 
  
  

• Bag Load-Ability – Will the bag accommodate your load style, plus how easy can you access everything?
  

Carry everything packers might want to strongly consider lightweight bags with thick or rolled straps.  Rolled straps don’t cut into shoulders or hands.  Thin straps dig into skin the most and work best with the light load carriers.

Shoulder bags are good for light to medium loads.  Heavy loads constantly carried in the shoulder bags can affect the back.Strap length is also important.  The longer the straps, the more you feel the weight.
Functionality – Does this bag work for you?  There are two functional points to consider:

• Fit – Does it fit and complement you?  Make sure the bag size in proportion with your build … not too small or large and overwhelming. 
  
  Also, a shoulder bag tip; the shoulder bag should fall next to a good area for your body.  If I have hips, I want the bag to fall above them to balance them out.  If I have large breasts, I will avoid the short straps so the bag doesn’t draw more attention to that area.
  
  

• Use – How will you use the bag?  Daily for work, weekends or special events?  These factors should influence your choice. 

If your load is light to medium, you might also prefer a structured bag for work.  Test the weight before purchasing.  Tell the salesperson (if around) you’d like to make sure everything fits.

• Lightweight bags are fine, just put everything in it before purchasing to test how it looks when you carry it and when you put it down.
  
  

•  Have fun with the many choices in colors, materials and shapes.  This is your time to play.
  
  

• Special Events – Unless you go to many higher-end events, it might not be worth it to spend a lot on these for one wear.  There are many dressier choices in the low to mid-price range.  Glitter and embellishments are of the current trend, so everyone has some dressier-looking bags these days.
  

Browsing is a great way to see what’s out there and fine-tune your preferences.  Look at all types of bags and all of the brands.  Being aware of the brands and styles, you’re your preference can help when shopping online.

These tips may seem like a lot to think about, but think of the time and money you’ll save, plus the added bonus of finding your perfect bag.

Choosing the right handbag

In order to look fashionable and chic, you not only have to dress well but you also need to accessorize well. And the most important accessory is choosing the right hand bag. Did you know that a handbag can flatter your shape almost as much as the right pair of jeans?

Apply these easy steps to getting a bag in proportion to your figure:

Try to choose a shape which is the opposite of your body type. If you are tall and thin, look for a slouchy, rounded bag to compliment your figure. If you're short and voluptuous, play off opposites by choosing a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long and sleek.

In general, the rounder your figure, the more structured your bag should be. That doesn't mean that you have to carry a hard box around to counterbalance your womanly shape: rectangular or square silhouettes in soft leathers or fabrics will do the trick.

Close-fitting bags are a great look if you're svelte and want to show off cleavage; not so great if your arms and bust are too large.

Most women look great with a bag that hits mid-torso because it flatters the waist.

Some popular handbag shapes:

Tote - An open-top bag with straps or handles.
Hobo bag - A crescent-shaped shoulder bag.
Duffle - Tall shoulderbag, often with a wider opening on top.
Field bag - A flap-top shoulderbag with utility-type closure (buckles, snaps, etc).
Clutch - A small, handheld bag (frequently used for evening wear).
Satchel- A large, handheld bag.
Baguette - Long and rounded shoulder bag resembling the namesake bread.
Messenger - A large, soft shoulder bag with long straps (often worn across the body).
Cigar Box - A small, boxy, hard bag.
Pouch - A soft, small bag.
Kelly bag - A large, structured handbag with distinctive hardware closures.

Useful Tips:
Take time in a store to try on handbags in front of a mirror just like you would apparel.
Don't be tempted by trendy shapes that don't suit your figure: there are plenty of great alternatives that will work.

The handbag has moved into a top spot in terms of defining style and making a personal statement. It is at once an accessory to offset a look and a nearly eccentric touch which fascinates and surprises. For designers, it's a playground: creative impulses are allowed free reign and imaginations tend to run wild. Whether slung over the shoulder, clutched in the palm or dangling from a wrist, the important thing is that it's always part of the overall image.

The "phenomena" of renting high end designer bags has made it big in the States and now by introducing the concept in the U.K, have ultimately given ladies a firm grip on the fashionably fantastic lingo in the world of exclusive handbags. It allows women who like to stay on top of the latest high-end luxury trends to do so without breaking the bank.

If you are really into fashion, you'll know the feeling: lusting madly over a gorgeous new designer handbag each season. They have become the ultimate accessory for any in style woman. If you are looking for a stylish handbag to match a new outfit for that special occasion or if it’s just to simply impress one of your friends, renting a high end designer bag could be the answer.

Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chloe, Dior, Balenciaga, Gucci, Fendi, are just some of the modern designer handbags that stand for the modernist ideal where fashion and art come together to define the modern woman. This marriage of form and function sets the standard for the liberal and independent woman of today.

An outfit is never complete without the right accessories and this includes your handbag. Although you can spend a small [or large!] fortune on a handbag, you don’t have to. Compared to clothing or shoes, designer handbags can now be inexpensive. This means that you can pretty much choose a selection of handbags to work with all the clothes you wear.

Handbags that were once the preserve of a very wealthy few—are now easily accessible, to millions of people around the U.K. But it is arguably even more upsetting to those super-rich folk who have long been able to afford luxury, and may in one crucial respect even regard it as a necessity. We are catering to fashionistas who lack the disposable income to satisfy their cravings for Versace satchels and Chanel clutches, but for whom carrying a cheaper knockoff is blasphemy.

So whether it’s a beautiful handbag you've seen and fallen in love with or maybe an exquisite looking purse you've spotted, visit  with just a click of the button. Log on to the site now and take a look at the extensive range of designers and enjoy this experience in lifestyle shopping.
