Autumn/Winter handbags

I don’t believe in cheap handbags. I am not saying you should buy a Designer bag, but I do think you should invest a considerable sum on it. The thing is, I like classic bags, as a matter of fact I have had some for over twenty years! And…I hate anything that wants to look like leather but isn’t.

I quite fancy a burgundy bag for this winter and I think it is going to be a structured medium size cross-body Saffiano leather bag (I know, I am quite a precise person!!). It doesn’t mean I don’t like the hand-held totes, I do, It’s just I am quite a practical person and like to have my hands free at all times!!  In an ideal world I would have both (handbags, I already have two hands), but since I can’t, I choose the one I am going to get more use out of.

My perfect bag for this winter looks like this one:

FURLA METROPOLIS SHOULDER BAG ONYX black

Only this one isn’t the right colour. This is the colour:

I have been looking …unfortunately I haven’t found it yet.

But I have found a few very interesting bags of course:

The above beige is what I would have as a second bag…

I have always wanted one. I have never had one though.

“That’s not my age”, the blog, has done a post about them :  http://thatsnotmyage.com/ageless-style/the-velvet-party-jacket/

They are great with so many things! A pair of jeans, a LBD, wide trousers, big skirts, I would have them all…same jacket, all colours.
