How To Choose Your Handbag?

Your handbag goes everywhere with you: it's your beauty box, your first aid kit, your reminder and your pantry... In other words, if you don't want to make your life hell, it is essential to choose a quality handbag! Here are our tips for selecting your most faithful companion.

Choose a Handbag That Suits Your Body Type

We agree, a handbag is not a piece of clothing. But we must not neglect the impact it will have on your figure.

To choose the bag that will accompany you, follow a few basic rules. For example, if you are a small size, it is advisable to avoid bags that are too bulky, because they underline your small size.

Your bag also allows you to visually harmonize your silhouette. Thus, if you have large hips, the ideal is to choose a bag worn on the shoulder or in the hand.

If, on the contrary, you have a large chest, a shoulder bag that falls at the level of the hips will restore the balance of volumes.

A Handbag For All Occasions

You want a new bag, yes, but not just any bag. In addition to being aesthetic and fashionable, your handbag is an accessory you can't do without: it must therefore be practical and adapted to your needs.

If you're not a bag collector, invest in a good quality piece that can go everywhere with you. To judge the quality of the way, inspect the seams, but also the strength of the lining. Make sure the bag has inside pockets: you'll bless their existence when you look for your keys!

Choose a bag with a zipper if you don't want to lose your stuff, and make sure the clasp or zipper is strong and easy to use.

If you want a new handbag to go to work, you'll probably turn to XXL bags - which have the added benefit of being fashionable.

But beware: the bigger the bag, the more you'll tend to fill it up (and your back won't say thank you)! Learn how to carry your handbag properly.

Having a small bag, on the other hand, obliges you to carry the bare essentials (no, you don't really need five lipsticks to go to work). It's up to you to see what you prefer.

What Color Should You Choose For Your Bag?

When it comes to choosing your handbag, your heart will inevitably sway: do you prefer a passe-partout color, which will save you a lot of headaches when it comes to putting together your outfits, or a flashy color or original patterns that will add style to your look?

Make your choice according to how often you buy your bags: if you buy one bag a year, you'll want it to match as many outfits as possible, and you can go for colors like black, beige, gray or camel (but avoid white, which can get dirty in no time).

If, on the other hand, you already have all the basics and want to spice up your outfits, don't hesitate to choose a colored or patterned bag, which will stand out from the ordinary and highlight your personality!

Happy Shopping!
