8 brands to have on your radar when looking for a new bag

It’s time to retire your worn out everyday bag.

Shopping for a new bag isn’t always so simple. It needs to be spacious enough to hold all our belongings (yet, not ludicrously so), it has to go with 90 per cent of our wardrobe items, and it must be able to last us many seasons.

While you might consider this a mighty task for the humble handbag, there are brands out there – and available in Australia no less – that seem worthy of our consideration when it’s time to retire the old, everyday handbag we’ve had for years.

Designer, Australian, and luxury; there are many, many bag brands offering a range of styles and price points to suit you just fine, making it all the more easier to find the perfect one. Or two.
