In the world of fashion there are often many things that set our hearts a fluttering at LadyM Towers. But none more than a new handbag. We can’t explain it, there is just something so fabulous about the process of buying a new bag, teaming it with your outfit and taking it out for a spin around town. It becomes your new friend. It goes everywhere with you, it knows all your secrets and contains your life.

Designer Bags

Just like our shoe collection, our handbag collection needs a dash of colour, an injection of style and overall many bags of many functions.. I mean you can’t just have one bag for one occasion now can you? We can’t quite remember when our love affair with leather started, or what our first handbag was. I guess we really should, but there have been too many to mention, or admit to, so memories are fading. So it’s time to get inspired by new pieces to covet, to mentally add to our collections or if we’re lucky actually purchase after a bit of saving up (there’s nothing like a bit of an incentive!)

One of our favourite places to shop and to seek inspiration is at My-Wardrobe.com Handbags.  There are a fabulous array of designer bags to suit all styles and occasions. Featuring designers such as handbag design Queen, Anya Hindmarch to See by Chloé, Smythson and one of our favourites Sophie Hulme.

This season bags are really about colour. We love that My-Wardrobe.com make it easy to shop by designer and by colour using their filters and there are clutch bags, to cross body bags, shoulder bags to totes. We thought we’d take you through our picks of bags for certain occasions and our ultimate investment piece that we are coveting at the moment. Let’s get browsing.

The Evening Clutch

So you’ve arrived at the office on a friday in the perfect outfit that can go from the boardroom to the bar, you’ve got your killer heels and perfect accessories but you need to lighten your load, reduce your day bag to a perfect clutch for an after work drink.

So make sure you bring with you to the office and put all your essentials in this beautiful clutch bag from Diane von Furstenberg. This amazing Pavé Crystal and Patent Large Tonda Clutch (£332) is just perfect to add a touch of sparkle to your outfit at the cocktail bar.

The Girly Weekend

We love a great bag to compliment our look and really complete an outfit. For that weekend away with the girls, or just your usual Saturday shopping trip, why not team this gorgeous DKNY Caramel Tote (£235) with skinny jeans and a casual tee.

The bag also comes with a shoulder strap to add a different dimension to your look. This is so stylish we’re desperate to have it in our lives.

The Office Essential

If, like us, you carry your world in your bag, including your phone, your notebook and then need to carry work files for that important meeting or stash proofs or documents during your commute then the Sophie Hulme Black Zip Top Tote (£559) is the bag for you.

A perfect size and with sleek gold-plated hardware this bag really will make you the envy of your work colleagues. Wear it with the trend of the season, the trouser suit or soften its look with your favourite dress.

The Investment Bag

Oh how we swoon at this bag and work out how our bank balance can cope if we bought it. The 3.1 Phillip Lim Petrol Green Pashli Satchel (£830) is just beautiful.

This is 3.1 Phillip Lim’s iconic bag and just ooses opulence and sophistication. There is so much room, you can sport it with the zips open for maximum impact and it would be the perfect “all round bag” for the office, for a weekend break, for shopping, oh the list goes on. We’re in love with it!

So there you have it, those are our top picks of designer bags. Oh how we wish we could afford a new one every week!
