A brand new gorgeous handbag (or two, or three, or more!) is just as good as a holiday – don’t you agree?

Up your ‘bag game’ with this season’s stunning options: Fringed styles, classic must-haves, pops of colour, beaded beauties, over-sized clutches and chain-handles.

Your handbag plays a vital part in expressing your personality – here are some style choices, based on our fabulous collage, to ensure you create headlines with your handbags this season: (1) Be it fringed or tasselled this is a busy bag so wear it with a plain outfit (2) Classic must-haves are just that, classic. Our advice would be to purchase excellent quality to ensure longevity. For the perfect overall proportion make sure the width of your bag isn’t wider than the width of your body (3) Pops of colour add personality, fun and the element of interest (4) Multi-colour beaded bags are absolutely beautiful. They are incredibly versatile – you can dress it up or down and you can wear it with a basic colour or one of the colours extracted from the beading (5) Chain-handles, or elements of a chain-handle, are effortlessly chic and stylish and can be worn 24/7 – with a suit to the office, with a formal dress to a black-tie event or with a T-shirt and jeans over the weekend.

Happy handbag headlining – let the world love your style!
