The bag is the touch of color in your look, it follows you everywhere and contains the most important things in your daily life.

Here are some good tips to know before choosing your bag:

Avoid the black. Once again, you know my point of view on the black! 🙂 (if you do not know it, we invite you to subscribe to my newsletter, in which I treat the subject by giving you new advice that I do not publish on the blog). In most cases, avoid the black bag. The bag is a good opportunity to wear color and boost an outfit in basic colors. Opt for Klein blue, pine green, coral or a deep red, you can also always count on safe values ​​like nude, camel, beige or white. The use of the nude evening bag happens to be essential in this case.

Choose beautiful materials:

Whether you choose natural leather, fabric or nylon, pay attention to the quality of the material,  Take a look at the label if you are not sure of the material and avoid the imitation leather which will not last in time and will not support excess weight (if for example you have to carry your laptop). The lining is also important: it must be resistant, pay particular attention to the seams. If the lining contains small storage pockets, this is a plus not to be overlooked.

Pay attention to details: Details count as much in leather goods as in textiles. So pay close attention to the finish of the bag (zippers, any buttons, the metal used, the leather tassels, etc.). The ornaments, such as the zipper or the rivets (small studs that adorn the bag) must also be solid and of good quality. If the zip breaks, having it done by a shoemaker can cost you the price of the bag.

Beautiful details for quality bags at affordable prices

Invest in a “multi-occasion” bag: No need to change it between work and outings, it is timeless. This bag should be chic enough to look dressy but also cool enough to be dragged everywhere. In short, this bag must be in beautiful leather (smooth or aged). But there are other criteria to take into account. Here are the top five:

• Strong red, pink, green, yellow, blue… or basic camel, nude, beige.
• Closed by a zip to be protected from pickpockets (you never know)
• Medium size, like a 48h format (perfect for work)
• Rather long format than tall format

Equipped with a handle to carry it over the shoulder and a handle to carry it by hand (the multiple handles add style to your bag!)

Which bag for which occasion?

To change your style in the blink of an eye, change your bag! A word of advice, do it very carefully, and don’t forget anything in the old bag, check the small pockets! There are many forms of bags, here is a small overview of three very different forms which are dear to me.

The perfect satchel during the day

The schoolbag, whatever its size, is a very practical bag. Its thin shape allows you to arrange everything lengthwise. Its front pockets also allow you to store small things you need close at hand.

The satchel is either carried by hand or worn over the shoulder like a little schoolgirl. Choose it in a neon color in summer or in a beautiful print to add a whimsical touch to your look. Avoid buying it in glossy brown leather, a little too classic.

It is ideal for going to work or going out on weekends. It will also give a preppy and slightly vintage look to all your dresses.
