Choosing A First Handbag For A Little Girl

Posted by Suzanne Claydon on December 5, 2011 at 10:38 am. Filed under: Handbags

Are you thinking of buying your little girl her first designer handbag? There are a lot of things to consider when choosing the right bag. Here are some suggestions on how tom the right choice so your girl will love her first handbag.
1. Ask her what colours she likes.
The favourite colours of your daughter, granddaughter, or other young female relation or friend may be completely different to what you would choose. If you want to encourage them to dress well and have good taste, choose a designer bag that also meets their approval.
We have some great choices in girly colours like white, pink , and purple that might be more appropriate for a young girl than black or brown.
2. Choose a bag that’s the right size.
A little girl most likely won’t want to lug around a giant bag. Don’t choose a bag based on how much it will hold. More than likely she just wants something to carry around as a statement piece, and to keep her lip gloss and pocket money in.
3. Choose a bag with a body strap.
A bag that can be worn across the body is a great choice for a child. She will feel more secure with this kind of bag, and her belongings will be safer. It also so means she can have her hands free for texting or shopping.

Check out all our great designer shoulder handbags and cross body bags on the home page. We have competitive prices on top names like Fiorelli purses, Ciccia handbags, and more.

Go Glam this Winter

Posted by bagsdefined on November 25, 2011 at 10:38 am. Filed under: clutch bags

We may not love the morning commute, but at least there are plenty of wonderful winter parties to look forward to over the next few months! We reckon there’s no better time to take a glittering leaf out of the winter wonderland book and invest in some gorgeous, fabulous, completely glamorous handbags!

Clutch Bags
The party staple; a little shine can go a long way, and we love the “Tia” clutch in silver from Fiorelli. Fiorelli handbags are always high on our stylists’ festive lists, but the “Tia” certainly has that little extra something we think perfectly finishes a glamorous look. If you’ve got something a little more understated in mind, the Fiorelli “Spitalfields” clutch in black with gold details is vintage glamour at its best.

Shoulder Bags
Let’s say you’re looking for a bag that might not be used every day, but certainly needs to hold all your vitals. We love Nica handbags for their edgy vintage style and opulently effortless glamour. The “Celia” shoulder/cross body in taupe from Nica handbags is a great representation of modern quirk meeting vintage glamour.

Luggage
Who says travel is no longer glamorous? A good quality piece of luggage can last a lifetime of elegant travel. We love Kipling luggage for its utility, style and high performing durability on the go.

Adding a little glamour to your winter world is about more than just following trends. It’s about finding clever pieces that compliment your great unique look perfectly!


 

Seasonal City Chic from Bags Defined

Posted by bagsdefined on November 17, 2011 at 10:28 am. Filed under: shoulder handbags

For kids, winter means fun in the chilly playground, messing about in the park and really, REALLY great TV. But for the likes of you, our lovely customers, winter probably represents a little more arduous picture. We are, of course, talking about the commute and city life!

Crime

As much as we love leather handbags, the latest Mischa Barton bag collection etc, we’re also very practical people. City travel can, unfortunately, leave you very exposed to crimes like bag-snatching and pick-pocketing. Here are a few simple directives from police sources that can help.

  • Don’t be a target. Invest in a daily handbag that you can easily secure. For example, lots of our leather handbags – like the “Raven” shoulder bag from Modalu bags – come with double zip closures and internal zip pockets. Most thieves are looking for opportunity, so don’t be it!
  • The way you hold your bag can have a huge effect on your suitability as a target. Always slip the strap of your bag around the base of your chair in a restaurant, always hold your bag on the tube, and always be aware of your personal space.

Style

Well, with the crime prevention lecture out of the way, it’s time to recommend a couple of our stylists’ favourite leather handbags!

  • The “Liberty Hobo” shoulder bag in tan from Fossil is a firm contender for recommendation of the day!
  • But the “Cranley” hand/shoulder bag in bone white from Ri2K just pips it to the post!

 

Seasonal Shopping Mantras for Every Girl

Posted by bagsdefined on November 15, 2011 at 10:27 am. Filed under: shoulder handbags

There’s something wonderful about pulling on a pair of vintage suede boots, a warm winter coat, grabbing one of your favourite Modalu handbags and heading out for a day of seasonal shopping!
If you’re anything like us, winter shopping is something of a passion. Our stylists have a tough life – travelling and sourcing the best shoulder bags, clutch bags and so on for our online store – but they’ve found the time to help you out by preparing this little list shopping mantras that every lady should follow.

  1. If you don’t love it, don’t buy it. This doesn’t really apply to basics like pens or toasters or light bulbs, but when it comes to choosing shoulder bags, accessories and wardrobe treats, this is one of the most important commandments!
  2. Dress up a little. Going shopping for a wedding outfit whilst your hair is dishevelled, you’re not wearing a flattering bra and your entire shopping outfit is pretty similar to what you lounge around the house in over the weekend isn’t the best idea. It dulls your sense of style and takes the fun out of the whole thing. Don’t wear too much make-up, style your hair so you feel a little glam, wear decent underwear, and put a little effort into a shopping outfit that’s both practical and chic.
  3. Know your style. This doesn’t mean you should feel limited, but try to develop a true sense of what suits you. For example, if you sit a simple clothing colour palette, let Fossil handbags be your bright touch!

 

Time for a Winter Accessories Clearout

Posted by bagsdefined on November 13, 2011 at 1:20 pm. Filed under: clutch bags

… Because that makes lots of space for new clutch bags, Fiorelli handbags and Nica purses! Some of us don’t need an excuse for a little seasonal spending treat, but a little de-cluttering can work wonders on the conscience, the finances and the accessories collection!

  • Think about rotating your wardrobe in line with the seasons. It’s time to stow-away the summer dresses and flip flips, and select the best of your cold weather clothes and accessories.
  • Making a little extra cash from surplus clothes and accessories is pretty easy using auction websites like eBay. Do you really need all those clutch bags? If you’re a serial hoarder, you might make more than you realise – all those £4.99’s will add up in no time!
  • One of our stylists came up with a great solution for the eternally over-stocked wardrobe – for every item sold or given away, another can be bought new. Tailor the system however you like (e.g. sell two old clutch bags, but one new shoulder bag); it’s a great way to clear out without losing out!
  • Make a list. We’re an office of list-mad folks, and our stylist teams reckon a good, organised list can help you choose the perfect capsule seasonal wardrobe. The way we do this is simple (and involves cake!); invest in a pile of glossy magazines, settle down with some tea and cake, and spend the afternoon cutting out pictures and listing accessories you like.
