Handbags are every woman’s favourite go-to fashion accessory. In fact, carrying a bag is, in some sense, second nature for many women. And though we gals have different views on what makes one handbag perfect, a bag can make or break your look. It is important to choose a model that suits your outfit and lifestyle as well. Hence, plan your handbag shopping around your outfits, whether it is a tote, clutch or satchel that you need. A nice handbag will surely elevate your look.

Whether you make enough or hardly enough to spend lavishly on a handbag, building your dream handbag collection does not mean you need to splurge on designer models only (mine certainly isn’t). It is all about having the right bag, (although splurging sometimes can add that something bold to your outfit).

There are many ladies handbags Australia online sites where you can find totally awesome look-alike bags at an amasing prices. And who does not like a stylish bag and discount. You can browse and compare a range of bags that embody latest trends whilst being easy on the wallet. That is why I “partnered” with Condura, an iconic 80s and 90s fashion accessories brand. This is my favourite online site for beautiful ladies handbag Australia wide. They focus on quality and are price conscious; trust me, you will easily get lost browsing their collection.

My favourite is their Bernie Tote Bag. I’m totally in love with it. And according to forums, not just me. It’s simple, classic, elegant, ideal for work and evenings out. It’s made of PU and is available in two colour combinations: the navy and light beige and the different shades of beige, which is precisely the one I have and is absolutely stunning. I simply adore it!

This bag is chic and functional, with a back zip pocket and silver-tone hardware. On the inside there are two side slip compartments and a zip pocket making it suitable for gathering all of your bits and bobs. The size of the bag is the following: 29 (L) x 31 (H) x 10.5cm (W), meaning it’s the perfect bag for any occasion. No wonder the likes of this kind of ladies handbags Australia is mad about.

And as I’ve mentioned earlier, sometimes splurging on a designer bag is a good thing. My personal favourite is Gracie Large Suede and Leather Tote by Michael Kors. It has the same silver-tone hardware as the one from Condura and the colour is almost the same (different shades of nude) with a zip pocket and two open pockets on the inside. The size of this one is: 16 (L) x 29 (H) x 18 (W).

Gracie tote is more expensive but it does feature elegant craftsmanship. However, if we compare these two beauties, the conclusion would be that both are trendy and functional, and perfectly go with casual, evening and office outfits. So, you do not have to splurge on expensive and branded handbags to look like a real fashionista! Instead, explore all of the options out there and choose bags around your wardrobe, style and quality, and not by price.
