One of the easiest ways to update your wardrobe for the spring/summer 2024 season is with a new designer handbag, and the good news is you don't have to empty your bank account to add that little touch of luxury.
Just because you don't have £1,000 to drop at Dior, Bottega Veneta or Chanel doesn't mean the designer market is completely closed off to you, nor does it mean you have to compromise on style. There is a plethora of contemporary brands that serve up chic styles for less than £500, including Loulou Studio, Staud and Anya Hindmarch.
Plus, some designer labels have extended their entry-level products to attract a wider customer base. Loewe's basket bag range for example sells out year after year, making it the perfect summer designer handbag at a fraction of the cost of their leather handbags. Lemaire's quilted canvas bag is a great everyday bag, as is Saint Laurent's Uptown Textured bag.
For more fashion-forward styles, try Ganni and Staud, and go to Acne and Aupen for some classic styles that will seamlessly fit into your everyday wardrobe.
