With a few months of relative normalcy behind us, many of us are updating our wardrobes to suit our new post-lockdown routines, including activities other than loungewear. Whether you're returning to the job for the first time in a long time or finally getting the chance to plan weddings, events, and vacations, you may be ready to add a new accessory to your capsule wardrobe.
Suppose you're considering spending on a new designer handbag. In that case, it's worth choosing a timeless style rather than a one-season wonder that will eventually collect dust at the back of your closet. For this, the best course of action is to either look to the classics – some of which have been given a modern makeover but remain eminently trend-free – or to acquire designs that exude an infinite elegance (think timeless colours, seasonless silhouettes and trusty fabrics).
Thus, we've come up with a list of 30 of the most excellent designer handbags that are unlikely to date anytime soon and will never seem like an impulse purchase.
Many may be recognized names, like Chanel, Fendi, and Dior. Still, this round-up also includes new styles from historical companies and new characters to know in the world of designer handbags. These are the items that are genuinely worth spending in, whether you're treating yourself or seeking a truly unique gift, whether you're looking for an evening bag or a work-appropriate tote. These are reputable designer names.
If you require a more cheap solution, we can accommodate you as well. Our collection of the top designer handbags can be found here.
