Leather Handbags – Size Matters




by Maxwell Scott


When it comes to choosing the right leather handbags, remember that size does matter.

Leather handbags – Size or Style

It’s a difficult balancing act when it comes to buying a stylish leather handbag. On the one hand, you want it to be beautiful and, as they say - small is beautiful. On the other hand, you want it to be roomy enough to contain your keys, mobile, purse, essential cosmetics, unpaid bills, half written novel, emergency chocolate bar, favourite CDs and that book you’ve always meant to read but never got round to. Let alone the vast variation on these basic handbag essentials depending on the woman – nappies, laptop, hair straightening irons – or even a Chihuahua!

Dainty leather handbags

It’s clear we need stylish leather handbags to look good, but we also need them to be practical too. Which is why size matters. Traditionally, small, petite leather handbags suggested a woman of style. A woman who had no need for practicality, who was wealthy enough to plan her life around her outfits and not around her job or children. Dainty leather handbags suggest that the woman in question doesn’t need to carry emergency tights, her gym kit, umbrella or anything else that suggests multitasking. Those tiny leather handbags that would just squeeze in a lipstick and credit card, screams ‘jet setting’ and ‘luxury lifestyle.’

Bulky bags for busy mums

The large, bulky leather handbags used to be the domain of the busy mums, down to earth office workers and practical shoppers who needed to pull out a spare nappy or notebook or squeeze in their lunchbox or gym kit. But just to confuse things and put dedicated followers of fashion into a tailspin – big bags are now hip for celebrity starlets.

Size zero fads

Some fashion experts are putting the trend down to body weight – as size zero reigns and celebrities are literally dying to be thin – a big bag makes them look even tinier. Having a bulky bag draped over tiny bones simply highlights their daintiness. Some people have joked that these size zero LA starlets who fling huge leather bags over their arms, have more animal skin on their leather handbags than on their own bones.

Classic leather handbags – enduring style

But no doubt, like size zero, it will be a passing fad. The fact is, no matter what fashions come and what fashions go, simple leather handbags will always endure for their classic look and effortless style.

A purse is the essential component to any girl's wardrobe. Without a classy, stylish purse , no woman's outfit is truly complete and sexy. Although a variety of purses is necessary to a complete a beautiful wardrobe, a careful selection is necessary in order to maximize utility for any given purse. The ultimate goal is tasteful style at an unbeatable price!

Since you are reading this article, you probably do not have hundreds or thousands to spend on exquisite designer purses . As so, you must compromise and spend your money in a thrifty fashion while looking for hip handbags at an affordable price! My tips below give an overview of selecting handbags that are in style while not breaking the bank!

1. The color of your purse does not have to match that of your outfit! You need not spend thousands of dollars on purses to match every outfit in your closet! Also, using bright colored handbags to contrast with a neutral colored outfit can make you stand out amongst the crowd!

2. Larger handbags are in! In our anti-minimalist society where all our products and desires are growing, purses are no exception! Not only are larger handbags in style, they offer superior practicality in regards toting around vast amounts of goods. The larger the purse, the easier it is to find that lipstick that seems to get smaller every time you look for it.

3. In juxtaposition to number 2, clutch handbags that are small enough to be hand-held are becoming extremely popular for all occasions. This is the case especially for parties where you cannot or do not feel comfortable lugging around a large purse, a clutch handbag can offer just enough space to fit your valuables securely. You will never lose slight over it, and will not need to worry about having your valuables stolen or misplaced.

4. Designer bags such as Dooney and Bourke, Coach, Gucciy, Juicy, etc. are nice to have if you have the hundreds of dollars lying around, but are not practical for most people. Carrying a replica, or fake designer bag will not cause you to lose respect and appeal amongst your peers. A cute replica handbag will still provide you all the attention you could desire at your party or special event.
