Every girl deserves a designer bag and when it comes to bags, no one can have just one. So let’s talk about luxury. Designer bags are a huge investment which never goes out of style. It’s like antiques or fine wine, which takes an expert eye to appreciate. When it comes to luxury designer goods, as a bag-lover, I look out for quality, craftsmanship, and style rather than just the brand name. When paired with the perfect outfits, they make you look fab. So now that we have a new fashion season, we are seeing a lot of new trends, colours and patterns when it comes to bags. So here’s the ultimate guide to help you parade in style with these designer bags.
Spring summer 2017 has been all about bright colours. Add a pop of colour to your wardrobe with some bright accessories. Yellow is the perfect colour for summers. It’s a colour which resonates with smile, brightness, joy and summer. You can go for a bag like my Franchetti Bond bag. When pairing this bag with my outfits I prefer to keep my outfit simple.
Apart from bright colours, pastels are also very trendy this spring summer. I love this feminine detailing and colour of my pastel pink Moschino bag. This is a perfect romantic look bag. Going on a date? Pair this bag with your favorite dress for a cute look.
When investing in designer bags I love to invest in a few classics which never go out of style. One of my favorite classic from my wardrobe is my Michael Kors bag. It’s my go-to bag for a lot of my outfits. I pair it with my work wardrobe as well my casual wardrobe. Paired with a suit or a summer dress, this bag can subtly make your outfit a lot more stylish.
When talking about classics and luxury there is one brand which is a must in every designer bag collection. You got it right, it’s Burberry. I love how Burberry bags keep the current trend and its classic design in sync with this Reverse T bag in Red. This is a reversible tote with a bright red finish on one side and the classic Burberry checks on the other. This bag is a very versatile and chic piece.
Another timeless classic is a black leather bag. It’s something that every woman needs in her wardrobe. It can be your work buddy and your travel buddy. I really like Coach bags, and I’m particularly loving their Black Glovetan Leather Hobo Bag. It’s minimalistic, elegant and functional. It looks chic yet cozy and comfortable. It’s a bag which is perfect for any season and occasion.
I prefer carrying big bags while I am outside or have a lot of long days due to work commitments. Also, when I need to travel, it calls for a big bag. But mini bags have been in trend this season. A small bag is something I carry when I am out for dinner, movie or a date. I think Valentino bags are worth a shot this season. The small Lock bag with a rounded shape looks stunning with its flap closure covered in studs, the line’s signature detail. The colour is also timeless and the metallic chains are easy to carry.
Bags are a great accessory to express your style. At times it does feel funny to buy an expensive designer bag. But it’s more like an addiction once you start your own collection. You can never have too many! So what does your designer collection look like? Let me know in the comments below.
Also at times we all have long work days, where you don’t have a traditional 9 to 5 job and don’t know if you would get time to go back home and change or if you are doing late night and then want to grab a drink post work with your friends then you need to be ready for the after party. Also, it not just about your work timings, but a lot of people live away from central London and travel to work and the busy metro life can suck the energy out of you. So make sure your social life doesn’t go down the drain because you don’t feel dressed up for the occasion.
Generally, to tackle the fast pacing city life and avoid traffic I tend to follow a few hacks when I have a plan post work and can’t go back home to change. I generally prefer carrying a big bag like a tote to work where I can haul up all that I need to go through the day. It’s pretty spacious and you can carry a lot of things with you on the go. I carry my makeup, a small coverup, iPad, as well as flats as a change when I plan to walk miles around or get tired of wearing my heels. You can also carry a fancy top to wear on top of your trousers or a simple dress. If you don’t want to carry extra outfits you can carry some accessories to jazz up your outfit like chunky bracelets or a statement necklace.
I paired the bag with an off-shoulder blue dress with ruffled sleeves by Bardot, from Top Shop. Off-shoulders are in this season plus you can take them from day wear to night wear with simple accessories like a necklace or footwear and a cover up. I teamed up the dress with black peep-toe sandals from French Connection and a black choker. I kept my accessories to a minimum by wearing a watch since flashy jewellery isn’t appropriate for work. But for an evening look, you can always add some accessories like rings, necklace and bracelet.
You can go for so many trends from bohemian to sporty chic. For me, spring is one of the fav. Seasons and experimenting with colours. Last weekend, on a day out I opted for a blue fringe trim tribal jacket with embroidered tape from Shein.com. I have styled this jacket with a dark t-shirt, chunky boho necklace and distressed crop jeans.

In honour of my love for the orange palette, I decided to write a post on a classic autumn ensemble which celebrates orangey hues. As you can see in the picture, I have teamed a deep orange top with cropped white jeans. A pair of white flats with cut-work detailing and white Michael Kors tote complete my ensemble. The outfit creates a chic, casual look which is great for daytime and evening outings. The makeup, though subtle, has a pop of colour on the lips, which adds a dose of glamour to the overall look.

I’m glad rucksack bags have now become so popular in adult couture. When I was growing up, rucksacks were meant for the prime purpose of carrying books to school. But even as a kid I was very particular about the colour and kind of rucksack I would take to the next school picnic or day trip. And now, many years down the lane, I still find myself thinking about how to style a new rucksack – ahh! Some things never change!
Now a rucksack bag is not just a looker. It’s also very useful if you’re going to be spending much time outdoors. It can hold all your essentials but you don’t have to worry about any shoulder aches or discomfort, like you would with other large carryalls; the weight of the bag is evenly distributed across both shoulders and your hands are free to do whatever you want. Rucksacks are thus the perfect accessory for trekking trips and sightseeing sprees.
I have to admit though, the practical value of the Harriet Sanders bag is not the only reason I bought it. It also happens to be beautifully designed and seemingly sturdy – I can expect it to last me for several years with ease. And here’s the best part – I chose the design, leather and lining I wanted since all Harriet Sanders bags are customizable in these respects! Yes, you heard it right! Customizable bags!
Incidentally, her most recent achievement relates to her range of rucksack bags. These were showcased at the Pure London Show in both 2014 and 2015 as part of an exhibition of latest trends in accessories. If you were in any doubt about just how great a fashion statement these bags can be, especially for chic holidayers, this should convince you! And of course, the customization process just adds to the fun! I chose a blue lining on a rust leather base to create a striking rucksack with contrasting hues. Trust me, it looks wonderful!
I even pushed my hairs into a ponytail to make sure they looked sleek.
