It’s not easy to find an affordable leather bag that looks expensive, for this reason today I will talk about 5 ways to find an affordable leather bag that looks expensive. How many of you are looking for a chic and elegant handbag but don’t want to spend all your money? Sometimes, you have to know how to invest in items that make your look more refined. One of these items is the leather bag, which can make your cheap outfit look expensive.
Obviously, I do not mean that we have to spend all our savings in a Givenchy bag, but we should only pay close attention to the material, the details and forms we choose.
5 ways to find an affordable leather bag that looks expensive
Here is what we need to carefully choose when we want to buy an affordable leather bag.
Simplicity
The brands are embracing more and more minimalism, smooth shapes without too many details, so this comes to our advantage, because we can choose the simplest bags and therefore easier to find as at Zara or Mango. [Tweet “Less is more is a rule that should never be discounted.”]
Design
Obviously, style changes from person to person, but in my opinion a good advise is to choose a leather bag that reminds of a famous fashion designer. Zara is the brand par excellence in doing that, it’s not a surprise when I step in its stores I always find the latest new releases from the catwalk, but obviously at a much lower price. Who does not love Zara?
Material
This is the most important point, because it is what can make our bags look cheap. If you see a bag whose material is a bad imitation of leather, even if the price is super affordable, you have to run away immediately! Even if you may think you’re getting a good deal, a plastic leather bag will make your look extremely cheap. You have to choose a material that really looks like leather, or, if you can, you should choose a real leather bag.
Shape
Choose bags with a well defined and refined shape. Over the years, bags tend to lose their shape and so it is always better to choose a leather bag with a well defined shape, so that it will always seem beautiful even if time goes by.
Strap
A long-time trend are the chains of Chanel handbags. So, if you choose bags with chains, pay attention only to their material.
