For daily use, there is no better choice than a classic satchel handbag. This style of purse is a perennial favorite among women of all ages and from all spectrums of style. The hallmark of a satchel is a utilitarian shape with a pair of handles and often a long shoulder strap that can be attached if you need to free up your hands.
A woman can carry her satchel to work all day, and bring it along on the weekend without worrying about digging out a new purse. However, because these bags are so versatile, most women choose their satchel based on their overall style. That is, they pick a satchel that reflects their general style aesthetic and the majority of their wardrobe choices. So, if you have a closet full of gray and black, you may want to stay away from a burnished copper satchel. And if you wear tropical colors and vivid prints, you probably don’t want just a basic black satchel.
Choosing your satchel handbag should inspire you, and there are a few things you want to consider before you settle on the perfect one:
• Will all the stuff in your existing bag fit into your new one?
• Will you get tired of carrying this bag after a short time?
• Is the bag made out of a fabric or is it a color that will be hard to keep clean with daily use?
• Does it coordinate with a majority of the clothes and shoes you wear on a daily basis?
Another important tip is to be open to new designers and boutiques. A handbag can be a fashion rut, and some women buy the same style or color year after year without giving it a second thought. But there are so many amazing styles and designs out these days; it is worth looking at all the alternatives before you settle on one bag that you plan to use every day.
How much should you plan to spend? For an item that you are going to use on a daily basis and which is going to represent you in a wide range of situations, you should be willing to invest in this piece. Obviously everyone shops with different budgets, and a satchel handbag can range between $5 and $5000 depending on where you shop. But be sure you buy quality-something that will stand up to daily wear and tear. Also, buy a bag that you will be proud to carry into both business meetings and baby showers.
Robert provides honest information and advice on things like keeping tabs. Most satchel handbags are designed to be used for work and play with plenty of room and pockets for keeping track of your personal items. And you can check our designer handbags purses section.
