Current Handbag Cravings

The Cambridge Satchel Company leather handbag / Miss Selfridge shopping bag / MARC BY MARC JACOBS shoulder bag, / MICHAEL Michael Kors leather tote,  / Mulberry crossbody handbag / MICHAEL Michael Kors leather tote

Recently, I have been so proud of myself because I haven't brought a handbag in a month because I decide to put myself on a spending ban for a few weeks. While on my spending ban it has given me a chance to think about the handbags I really want to save for and add into my collection. I have fallen in love with the Michael Kors zip totes especially the new navy colour added for the new season. I have also fallen back in love with the Mulberry Effie satchel again it so practical and a timeless piece that would go with any outfit. I also added on my list the Marc Jacobs Too Hot To Handle cross-body bag I just love the shape of it and I don't currently own a black handbag. I also have my eye out for a brown over the shoulder tote handbag for work and I came across this brown shopping tote from Miss Selfridge however for my height this handbag a little bit on the big side for me but I still have my eyes open for a similar one. The last thing on my list is a Cambridge Satchel I want one so badly I just love how the look.

Recently, I been thinking about buying a designer handbag however there are doubts in my mind whether or not a designer handbag is really worth the money, when there are so many inspired handbags around for a fraction of the cost. Because I'm the sort of person that changes my handbag on regular basics so will one designer handbag ever be enough? Also the idea that instead of buying just one designer bag you can buy a lot more different inspired handbags for the price of one, however will the designer handbag last longer?

At the moment I think the high street shops do amazing inspired designer handbags such as Mango and Accessorize which do really great affordable inspired handbags for the fraction of the price of a designer handbag.  Hmm but which is better?
