Have you ever had someone try to come between you and a potentially new handbag? Have you ever had to send that steely glare someone’s way the moment the words “don’t you have enough bags?” left their foolish, foolish lips? If the answer is ‘yes’ and they lived to tell the tale, you are very, very merciful. If they didn’t, well, we can’t blame you for seeing red.

Women and bags are like men and football. More often than not (though we admit, not always) one will really, really like the other. To some it will be an occasional fancy and to others…blinding obsession! It doesn’t help that there are so many types and varieties to choose from, either. You might want a clutch bag, but you don’t know what colour so you buy them all! You might want a cosmetic bag that you adore, but it’s too small for your entire make-up collection, so you buy three of them! Let’s not forget mini-handbags, hip bags and shopping bags and shoulder bags! Even a briefcase or women's rucksack can look stylish and chic. The thing is, they may all be bags, but they all serve their own purpose – a purpose beyond looking pretty under your arm or over your shoulder, we mean. They are functional. They can hold everything you could ever need from day-to-day and still match your outfit.
