10 BAGS UNDER 500 £ TO SHOP FOR SPRING

BAGS UNDER 500 £ FOR SPRING

If you are looking for quality bags for spring under 500 £ I have your back. If you are a bag lover and your budget does not stretch to reach to top designer bags I have good news.

There are many bags that are incredible quality and so well made but you do not have to rob a bank. Yes for some a bag for several hundreds of pounds can still be a dream however we hope some of these may inspire you to save your pennies and finally get that dream bag of yours. And if you are looking to upgrade your spring closet on the budget here are our favourite pieces under 100 £.

WHERE TO SHOP

I love brands like Demellier, Strathberry or Tory Burch. They make lovely quality models and really play with colours to create chic and timeless designs. Strathberry is stocked in some of London’s department stores but they also have a boutique on Kings Road if you would like to check the quality in person.

I am also so in love with the Sezane Milo bag. I can really vouch for this bag and have been wearing it a lot myself. The size is perfect and you can adjust the length of the strap. I have the snake print one but also love the colours especially burgundy. It is timeless and chic and I always get so many compliments.

CELEBS SPOTTED WEARING THESE BRANDS

Princess of Wales as well as the Duchess of Sussex have been both spotted wearing bags by both Demellier and Strathberry. I am not surprised at all as they are so easy to wear and whether you are more into elegant styling, casual or edgy they will compliment your outfits so well. These brands are also popular amongst top influencers.

Here are the 10 bags you can shop to upgrade your spring wardrobe.

20 Spring items under 100 £

If you are like me then after Christmas you start to dream of spring. So here I am sitting on the sofa in January dreaming of warmer and longer days but also about all those coffee breaks outside.

THE SAMBA OBSESSION CONTINUES

And what better time there is to plan your spring wardrobe. I am not a somebody that builds up a brand new closet each season however I like to get few new items to spruce things up. Adidas Samba is a trainer that I actually thought was hideous last year but it really starts to grow on me. I was not getting the whole Tiktok viral obsession but do you know what sometimes I wait and wait and eventually end up liking the item. I actually love it not only with cool looks like you can see in the first picture but also certain type of skirt. Leopard print is another big trend and yes there are super cute YSL heels but this is more about updating your wardrobe under 100 £.

WHAT TO SHOP? YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO BIG

So bring some colour in, get that faux leather trench or cute patent loafers. You will also wear over and over cute sweatshirt or knit. Check your wardrobe and make sure you have enough of capsule items like jacket or skirt that goes with everything and invest in accessories. Even a small item like sunglasses can really be a nice touch. You can play with colours and texture. I am definitely thinking of investing in croc leather pants or skirt.

And if you want to splurge more and maybe invest in the bag to go with these more affordable outfits you have my support.

5 Cool Influencers to follow in 2024

Do you also sometimes get lost in the sea of influencers on social media. I will not lie I do. I tried to actually over Christmas to clear who I follow but quickly realised there is a limit on this. I wish I could just start with clean slate and really follow only the people that give me joy or people I know.

Well, I have discovered some new people myself where I clicked follow as their content is giving me joy of inspiration and here are some cool girls to follow in 2024.

SHOP KEY ITEMS:

Alexia Charpin

Digital creator from France with beautiful hair and style. She does casual so well as well as glam in the evening which is pretty much what I love too.

Olga Loffler

If this German beauty does not blow up I will eat my head or there is something seriously wrong with Instagram algorithm. She is a mum like me but is incredibly creative and beautiful. Love her fun approach to content and she has fantastic wardrobe too.

Hottest bags to carry through to 2024

Hottest bags to carry through to 2024 that are fun and will make your outfits look great. Some are classic and some are less however knowing women each of us is going to find the ONE.

Unexpected shapes

These bags are fun. We are talking shapes from my 2 years old daughter’s puzzles including hearts, stars, triangles and more. I have been obsessed with the Alaia heart bag since it came out and now when I have it I want other colours. I know typical. I even mentioned it before Christmas in my trends to shop. However, there are so many fun shapes around like the Prada triangles or Chanel star bags.

Effortless

These are timeless and classic and will suit so many styles. I am sure office ladies will love these bags as well as timeless chic chicks. I am talking the Row Margaux bag. I have to definitely mention the New York Tote from Demellier London and also Savette bags. Those are my new obsession. Chic should be their second name.

Burgundy & Cherry Red

This trend will continue rocking in 2024 and I feel purely because everything that came out in this colour was sold out and so many people did not get a chance to buy anything. Think YSL, Loewe, even the above mentioned Alaia heart. I actually had cute burgundy YSL bag which I sold and now regret a bit. Oh well at leas a reason for a new one in 2024.

Oversized

We will keep seeing large and oversized bag. The YSL tote is now available in a crochet version so even summer bags will be going this direction. I also love the Coperni Heart bag which is so fun and cool. I am sure this is practical for so many women who love to carry lot things including laptop, heavy diary and full makeup bag.
