When it comes to investing in a handbag that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical, we here at Casper Magazine go straight for those who know handbags like – dare I say – the back of their hand.
Celebrated for their timeless designs, Prada, Oroton, Kate Spade, and Coach are experts – if not specialists – in this realm of accessories. Notorious for producing classic yet unique styles of handbags, these international conglomerates value artistry and execution as much as aesthetics.
Although these luxury brands were our first point of call for the gift gifting season, many smaller Australian brands also caught our eye.
Equally impressive as their larger competitors, local brands, including Sans Beast and The Daily Edited, are proving that although they may be cheaper in price, they certainly do not skimp on quality.
“We believe there is a need for more choice in the quality fashion space, an alternative to derived from animals. Designed with credibility plus manufactured with quality. Collectable, Functional, affordable and designed with love” – Sans Beast
These tips will help you pick out the perfect handbag this Christmas:
#1 Is it going to blend seamlessly with your receiver's wardrobe?
#2 Consider the functionality, can it fit a phone and keys if you're looking for a clutch or a tote that can fit a few more essentials if they like to carry a little more?
#3 When you think about what colours, prints, and patterns the person you're gifting will likely wear, you'll be more likely to see them using and reusing the bag.
The best outfits don't just happen without the right handbag.
