Top 3 features you should look for in a bag. What are they?

It occurred to me that I have not written a blog about certain features we as customer look for in handbags. So here is my take on what 3 essential features you should look for in choosing a handbag. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have all 3 features. Some of my customers require only one key feature, but it’s important to understand their functionally and determine what you want to get out of the bag.

The top essential feature that is popular with mums and students are the Double Carry Option. Katie Holmes loooooves her Chloe Paraty Bag, she carries it flawless with her busy schedule.  I findthis feature  extremely important. Double carry is my personal favourite, because you have the added option of wearing the bag on your shoulder or top handle styles, convenient for your day to day use. You will find most of my handbags do have this option as a majority of my styles do have the attachable strap, giving you the freedom to wear the bag at your personal preference. So look for handbags that have attachable strap, most handbags have these feature.

Kate

The second popular feature is the Multi-Pockets.  The every stylish Kate Moss wears her favourite Betty bag. With external multi-pockets, they’re great investment pieces to add to your bag collection. You will find multi pockets are huge this season, with oversized external pockets a huge trend. Multi pockets are useful to store your iphone, purses, items that you require access instantly. We all love this feature, make sure you choose a bag that you fits all your essentials.

Mary-Kate Olsen out and about in Lower Manhattan

Oversized bags have been around for awhile now, but the great thing is that every season they’re re-inventing the style trend. Last year it was the oversized handbag with oversized zippers. This trend was set by the Olsen twins way back in 2005.  This season they’re pushing for the oversized studs. Embrace the oversized trend, there are alot of styles, and the handbag is 100% total functionality, you can fit your laptop, textbooks and documents, some ladies even use it as their overnight bag.

A reminder not everyone will require all 3 features. Figure our what your needs are and have fun browsing for that perfect bag. Check out my oversized styles which capture the multi-pocket, double carry option together
