Where to find affordable options
But how can you stay on-trend without blowing your budget? Well, there are many affordable retailers and websites offering a wide range of trendy bags for budget-savvy shoppers.
Many stores such as Zara, H&M and ASOS sell similar yet less-expensive looking versions of bags that may have been produced for more high-end brands. Keep up-to-date with sales and discount promotions for a better chance to pick up your favourite bags at a low cost.
You might have to shop second-hand or vintage, thrift shops or consignment stores or online resale sites like Poshmark or Depop to find that perfect piece with a little bit of soul, for a reasonable price.
And don’t overlook the neighbourhood boutique shop or the crafty street vendor whose made-to-order items are where you can get the most bang for your buck, not to mention exclusivity. Anything you can own that no one else can is going to be pretty special. Similarly, giving customers the sense that they are personally helping preserve an endangered species can help to boost profits, since it feels good to do well and do good at the same time. But rare and expensive products are not always sustainable, and sustainability deserves more attention, say some analysts, than it receives.
How to style these trendy bags with your wardrobe
Whatever combination of clothes you want to pair with the handbags of the season, all you need to do is be creative and you’re sure to turn heads.
A vintage-inspired wrist bag looks dashing with a floaty maxi dress, or with high-waisted jeans and a white blouse for instant retro style.
Cute and flashy colours go in unusual places, like on bags. Things get fun when nude tones are combined with bold accessories: belted bags, shoes, scarves that match your skin tone, or lipstick that offers a refresh to your everyday look. To create this effect, use more nude tones, like avoid too much black, but do make these items neutral – let the accessory be the setting.
It’s a great idea to use eco-friendly and biodegradable fabric bags to make this work with mix-and-match eco-fashion outfits. Pair it with an organic cotton top or a recycled polyester skirt.
Nothing says minimalism like a mini bag, which is exactly why you should style it with tailored pants, a fitted blazer and sleek sneakers to pull off a flattering, expensive-looking look that allows the bag to shine.
