Classic Designer Handbags That Will Never Go Out Of Style
High end designers such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermes specialise in creating designer handbags which will last season after season and many of them become collector's items for future generations.
Although many of us would love to own a wardrobe full of Chanel quilted handbags or Hermes Birkin bags in every colour, these elite designer handbags cost thousands of pounds. As every fashion fan knows though, you can't put a price on style and choosing handbags from less well known but equally talented designers means you can own stunning handbags at a fraction of the price.
Below are key handbags which have the classic good looks, high quality and longevity of high end designers without the fancy price tags.
The Oufi Abbey Grey Leather Clutch Bag
Oufi have created a true design classic with their Abbey clutch bag which exudes Parisian style and is chic enough to rival the likes of Chanel and Dior.
The Oufi Abbey Leather Clutch Bag (£175.50) in grey captures perfectly the art deco style which emerged from Paris in the early 20th century and has inspired artists, fashion designers and architects ever since.
A style which has lasted for more than 100 years is definitely a trend we can get on board with and this handbag is sure to be part of your fashion ensemble for many years.
The sumptuous grey leather and contrast piping make this designer handbag ideal for chic evening and day wear.
Lulu Guinness Black Patent Leather Large Lucille Handbag
Modern designers such as Christian Dior and Cristóbal Balenciaga came into their own in the 1950s and many of their modern handbag designs are still influenced by 1950s style.
Fifties fashion was all about femininity and handbags were no exception. To own your very own piece of 1950's style designer couture invest in the gorgeously girly Lulu Guinness Black Patent Leather Large Lucille Handbag (£395).
The delicate leather handle, stunning patent leather and traditional clasp fastening make this handbag a design classic which will endure for many years.
Laguna London Cobalt Blue Leather Shopper
Classic designer handbags don't just have to be in muted colours as this fantastically bright cobalt blue shopper from Laguna London proves.
This leather handbag channels the colour and bold design associated with the 1980s but thankfully this shopper has bags of taste too.
Designers such as Vivienne Westwood and pop icons like David Bowie and Madonna proved that anything goes in fashion in the 1980s and the colours and structures in fashion were constantly experimented with.
Many of the trends which came out in 1980s fashion are still around today and with stylish designer handbags like the Laguna London Cobalt Blue Leather Shopper (£165) , 1980s influences are set to be around well into the future.
