With AW18 around the corner, it’s time to treat yourself to a shiny new handbag. Playing it safe isn’t the way to earn major style points; amp up this everyday accessory by trying out a new shade, shape or fancy finish. We’ve put together a list of bags for under R300 – because a great handbag doesn’t have to break the bank!
This season it’s all about making a statement with your accessories. Gold hardware, bright hues, clashing textures or interesting handles are the main components that the new season has to offer.
Staying on top of the trends is a sure way of fooling everyone into thinking its designer – just go for the best quality you can afford. Check out our faves.
