Two Occasional Handbags That Endure the Test of Time
Even for the most fashion-conscious shoppers, an occasional handbag is something that generally doesn’t warrant a lot of thought - that is, until you find yourself in need of one. Once you realise that you need an occasional bag to complete an evening look, it can result in a last minute dash to the shops in order to find something that will fit the bill. The possibilities are endless, with occasional bags available in every colour, shape, and fabrication imaginable.
Savvy fashionistas (of which you are undoubtedly one) may want to invest in a bag that can be used again and again with different looks. As it happens, there are two very reliable designs that consistently stand the test of time: the simple metallic clutch, and a classic quilted chain-strap bag.
A metallic clutch is a great way to elevate your evening look without overpowering it. Gold, silver, and even crystal-encrusted styles actually work as a neutral accent against a bold statement colour or print, while adding that extra dash of glam. For best results, look for a design that is fairly clean and uncomplicated in order to let the true beauty of the bag (literally) shine.
One of the best handbag investments a woman can make is a quilted chain strap bag. This classic style will take you from day to night wile looking tasteful and elegant. Look to the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag for inspiration, or choose one of the many more budget-friendly permutations on the market.
