Handbags, recently, have been getting more and more expensive. Something about the credit crunch seems to have inspired anti-recession pricing, resulting in bags we simply can’t dream of affording.
For those of us on a more realistic budget, however, I have found a real bargain. This Allegro bag from Zaftique is available for only $35, meaning that even the most cautious of us can probably stretch to it!
So, what makes this bag such a bargain? Firstly, it is available in three colors, which I always find to be an advantage in affordable bags like this. It means not everyone is going to have the same as you! I personally have a preference for the coffee or the black. The “garnet” would be harder to coordinate with your outfits, and the color is slightly too dusty for my love of bold prints and this season’s block color.
The snakeskin is a major selling point, as spring’s catwalk trends see some of the most beautiful bags and shoes in this most fashionable of fabrics. It also means you can dress up a day outfit without having to lug around a tote, or prance with an envelope clutch bag. It’s a great working woman’s style piece.
Of course, for this sort of money you don’t get luxury; you get leatherette and gold toned hardware. But if you can look past the components, what we have here is a very easy to use bag, perfect for summer strolls. I’m just not sure it’ll last more than one season!
