More about Bags

An essential part of an outfit: we’ve all got our ‘out there’ one for special occasions and our trusted favourite for everyday use. Our range of handbags is looking to fulfil both these spots, as well as every spot in between. Clutches, cosmetic bags, purses, travel bags and bumbags, there’s all sorts here to quench your bag needs.

Keep it colour coordinated with Nadia Minkoff’s mustard Camden tote bag with a matching zipped pouch, or clash it with Vanook’s equally sophisticated dark green, leather card case. Get super bagged up by chucking Raff’s sleek, black passport holder in there too, and if you’re really looking to go OTT, then Rosa and Clara Designs’ cartoony, orange print, cosmetic bag is also an essential everyday item that you should be carrying around with you.

All our bags come with free shipping.

What Kind Of Bag Should I Buy?

There’s all sorts of bags for all sorts of occasions, and matching the perfect bag to the right situation is the key to answering this question.

Cross body bags are a nifty accessory for those constantly with their hands full. Just sling the bag over your shoulders and across your body and let your hands get busy with your daily To Do list. They’re also great city bags, as they sit close to your body which massively reduces the risk of being pick pocketed. Zamt Project’s baby pink cross body bag would perfectly complement a spring/ summer outfit, whilst MYMY Copenhagen’s black, studded, leather cross body bag is a lovely finishing touch to a going out-out look.

Whilst cross body bags are good for festivals - keeping your belongings tucked away safely and your hands free to groove - they can get a tad annoying when you’re boogying. To stop that constant thud of your side bag against your body as you move around, go for a playful bumbag that fits snug around your waist. An ideal festival bag, a bumbag keeps your possessions safe, your hands free and doesn’t wiggle around your body when you dance.

Bumbags are extremely on trend right now, with fashion-conscious types wrapping them across their body like a side bag. This wearable style is popular in the streetwear community, and if you’d like to join them then Lisa Lemon’s berry coloured, Italian leather bumbag would definitely make you welcome. A versatile bag, wear it around your waist when you need freedom and security, across body to add a statement to any ensemble or as a clutch.

A travel bag is any bag that facilitates travel. They usually consist of backpacks or holdalls, but as long as you can fit your PJs, toothbrush, a pair of pants and your wash bag in it, they can take a variety of shapes. A backpack is great for carrying around heavy cargo from one place to another, as shifting the weight from your shoulder to your back makes it easier to carry. Enter bags’ has a great selection of premium backpacks that are good for your back whilst simultaneously looking good. Their Research Roll Top backpack in army print is our personal favourite, but the all black one is also catching our eyes. If the backpack reminds you of school too much, Feltstyle’s Plait Bag in olive green is large enough to fit all your bits in whilst also fitting in a plane’s overhead locker.

A clutch bag is a staple for a night out on the town. A fashionable accessory that puts style over practicality, there’s only room for your essentials in here. Taylor Aston’s fluffy, faux fur, neon clutch is a real statement piece, whereas Maria Maleta’s camel suede clutch is a more refined offering. Just be wary about leaving it behind as there’s no handles or straps to keep it on you, but then again, when our clutches are this spectacular we’re sure they won’t leave your mind (or your sight) for a second.

Leather Vs. Non-Leather

Leather is an extremely popular material used for bags. A sturdy fabric, you can get years and years of use of out your leather bag with the correct care. Whether you go for genuine leather from Zand-erover or natural vegetable tanned leather courtesy of Raff, leather can come in a range of different textures and colours, making variety the spice of your life.

Suede is an increasing popular choice too. Giving a furry finish to your handbag, suede is great for autumnal looks and for adding layers of texture to an outfit. Whilst it may be more fragile than leather, with definite caution being given during the rain, with the proper care (sprays, for example), good quality suede can last a life time. To try out this material, give Frisch Beutel’s suede make up bag a spin.

Cotton and cordura are also well used fabrics, especially for tote bags and backpacks. It’s a lightweight material which makes it perfect for bags designed to carry heavy things. Inter zoo has a great collection of cordura backpacks, with the synthetic nature of the material meaning you can get a wide variety of prints, including: paisley, camouflage and Chameleon.

As you can see, each material above has its own pros and cons, so you just gotta weigh up them for yourselves to decide what one you should go for. Above all, the biggest pro is that you find it stylish, so as long you like the material then you should go for it - even if it is useless in the rain.
