Are you considering getting a designer bag and don’t know which one to splurge on? This post might be able to help you with this dilemma!

Being a fashionista on a budget yourself, you had to come up with a shopping-for-designer- handbags tactic. And after doing a little research, you might find out that there are some timeless designer classic bags a gal truly needs since the rest of the bags are just a slight variation on these 4:

1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy Bag

Louis Vuitton have never been more popular than they are right now. But believe it or not, Louis Vuitton Mongram Speedy Bags have been the “it” bags for over 50 years now…

The size of the bags varies from Speedy 25 to Speedy 40 and so does the price: $675.00 – $750.00, they are available in Louis Vuitton online store, but I am sure you will prefer to buy your LV in a Louis Vuitton boutique near you.

2. Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag

Awe… Chanel 2.55 is the queen of designer handbags. It’s so stylish, it’s breath-taking. They are twice as expensive as Louis Vuitton Speedies and they are too so worth the crazy price. These beautiful bags come in different colors and in 3 sizes – check out the size/price chart at the bottom of Chanel 2.55 – Pure Classic post.

3. Dior Black Quilted Patent Lady Dior Bag

Yet another stylish, timeless classic. This Dior bag looks stunning and it can be worn with anything, which makes it a fantastic choice for your designer bag collection. It comes with golden hardware as well, in case you are looking for something dressier.

For the price of $1800 you are getting one of the most fabulous bags out there. And by the way, the beautiful classic Lady Dior bag comes in white patent leather too for those hot summer days and vacations (sigh)…

4. Hermes Birkin Bag

This is the bag you have seen on the most stylish celebrities. Although this bag is definitely not my style, I can see why women want to shell out $6.000.00 – $15.000.00, depending on the material, for a bag like this.

Located in Paris, Hermes issues only 5 (!!!) Birkins a week – the waiting lists are endless, of course, and that’s what makes them even more desirable.

Well, Ladies, these are the 4 Most Stylish Classic Designer Bags in the world. Hope this must-have selection made your life easier!

Madonna in New Vuitton Ads (WWD)
“Marc Jacobs was so pleased with this spring’s Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Madonna and he was eager to do an encore.  But he want very quickly and want something  different,’ related Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s communication director.”

Plus-size fashion: style for the fuller figure (Telegraph)
“On Sunday night, as the British soul singer Adele commanded the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, her faultless appearance in a form-fitting, black, silk taffeta, box- pleated cocktail gown was yet another style triumph for fashion’s new generation of plus-size heroines.”

New Bangladesh textile protests (BBC)
“Thousands of textile laborer in Bangladesh have clashed with police for a third consecutive day in a protest over pay and conditions.”

West End to capitalise on London Fashion Week fever (Drapers)
“For Fashion retailers at London’s West End will host a High Street Fashion Week in early September to promote shopping in the capital  to London Fashion Week.”

One of favorite cold season trends is the boot tucked into a pair of women’s jeans. It’s sleek, it’s adroit, it’s comfortable when you wear, but it takes some major twisting and shoving to try to get your jeans from bunching out of your boot. Then when you bend or sit down they jeans come WAY out so then you have to shove them back in throughout the day and so on. So everthing basic ,you can do is wear the tightest denim possible and hope it looks as good as Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz and other chic celebrities in their sophisticated denim-boot look. 

Get excited for the launch November 14 for the Jimmy Choo for H&M Collection! Here’s your chance to own a pair of the iconic shoes for around the $300 price range, rather than $1,000. In addition to shoes, you’ll find clothing, accessories, bags, as well as men’s fashions too. ICheck out the Jimmy Choo for H&M Lookbook now on Stylehive.

We’ve done lots of posts about how something as simple and inexpensive as a paper or plastic bag can make a big impact as a promotional product. The humble imprinted bag can raise awareness about things as diverse as autism, pain relief, nail biting and fitness. Still, it never hurts to add one more example, so here we have a custom printed plastic bag that promotes blood donation done for the Red Cross.

Another great custom plastic shopping bag, this time by Panadol Extra, a pain reliever sold in the UK. Once again, this example shows how some design creativity can turn something mundane into an engaging brand experience. Previously, we featured some other cool custom plastic bags and a nifty paper bag. (via the adverlab via advertising’s a bitch)

Images of this creative bag have surfaced around the web and it’s definitely a worthy addition to some of my previous bagvertising posts. Thsi particular bag was created to raise awareness about autism and promote a program that helps children with autism, encouraging people to “reach out.”
