I’ve recently been having a bit of a clear out ready for Christmas (I know, I know, I’ve just used the C-word in September. I’m such a rebel). And during my clear out my handbag collection has most definitely been reduced. So with all the pennies I’ve earned from selling my unwanted goods on eBay, I thought I’d treat myself to a nice new designer one. The only problem is, there’s so many that I want. Aargh!

With that in mind, I thought I’d shared my updated designer handbag wishlist with you guys today. And I’m hoping that you can maybe help me choose which one to get next. So, are you sitting comfortably? Then let me show you my favourites from ones I’ve currently got my eye on …Balenciaga Metallic Edge City Bag – £1,560

First up is a bag that I’ve been lusting after for what feels like forever – the Balenciaga Metallic Edge City Bag in a beautiful blush hue. These bags come in a range of different sizes, but I think the smallest one would be ideal for someone like me as I try not to carry too much round with me these days.

The bag is made from textured leather, has a two-way zip fastening along the top, and comes with Balenciaga’s iconic hardware in a gorgeous silver colour. I think my favourite part about it though just has to be the whipstitched top handles – they’re so pretty! And the pale blush colour will compliment virtually any outfit. I just love it.Jimmy Choo Lockett Petite Leather Shoulder Bag – £895

Another bag I’ve had my eye on for ages (and have talked about several times here on my blog) is the Jimmy Choo Lockett Petite Leather Shoulder Bag. I think this particular bag would look fab paired with a little black dress and killer heels on a night out, and it’s available in loads of different colour combinations.

My personal favourite colour combination is the smooth black leather with chrome hardware. Isn’t it gorgeous? I think it makes for a lovely feminine choice that could be worn either across the body or over the shoulder. And the unique push-lock feature would ensure that all your important belongings were kept safe and sound. If I could only choose one designer handbag for the rest of my life, it would definitely be this!Chloé Faye Medium Leather and Suede Shoulder Bag – £1,280

If you guys read my previous designer handbag wishlist post you’ll know that I have a bit of a penchant for Chloé bags. So, of course, I had to include one on this list. And the one I’d really like to add to my ever-growing collection is the beautiful Chloé Faye leather and suede shoulder bag in a beautiful pale grey shade.

The stunning shoulder bag is part of Chloé’s coveted ‘Faye’ family and is expertly made from a tactile mix of suede and leather. The super slim bag opens to show an accordion-style interior fitted with a zipped pocket to keep all of your essentials organised. And the polished gold equestrian-inspired ring and chain gives it the most beautiful finishing touch. It’s the bag of dreams for any Chloé fan.

Kate Spade New York Small Sam Primrose Satchel Bag – £193

Mustard shades are staying in fashion this autumn, so I’d love to treat myself to a bag that would be sure to add a pop of colour to any outfit. And I feel this small satchel bag from Kate Spade would be just perfect! It’s by far the cheapest bag on my current designer handbag wishlist but it’s just as pretty as the others. 

The ‘Sam’ is super spacious and features two open sections with two slip pockets and a single zip pocket. Plus, there’s a central zipped section for added security. The versatile bag is finished with twin grab handles and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. There are metal feet to the base keep the bag protected when placed down. It also includes a luggage charm and has the signature Kate Spade branding to the front. What’s not to love?!Valentino Garavani Rockstud Textured Leather Shoulder Bag – £830

I feel like I’ve said this about every single bag on my wishlist, but next up we have the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Textured Leather Shoulder Bag, which I’ve been wanting to add to my collection for ages! I absolutely adore textured leather at the moment, and I think Valentino’s signature pyramid ‘Rockstuds’ (which are galvanized to retain their shine), look amazing sat on top of it!

I have a lot of friends who own this bag, and they all agree that it’s one of the best investment pieces they have in their collections. This is because this particular style of handbag never really goes out of fashion, as well as being the perfect size to take you from day to night. It’s also really versatile as it can be worn cross-body, over the shoulder, or as a clutch if you tuck in the strap. Another gorgeous piece that I’d love to get my hands on.

Michael Kors Voyager Medium Tote Bag – £295

And last, but certainly not least, I’ve picked out the gorgeous Voyager Tote Bag from Michael Kors. I’ve not picked up a tote bag for ages, so this one really caught my eye when I spotted it whilst out shopping a couple of weeks ago. The bag is crafted from textured leather with a structured silhouette, and I think the soft acorn colour is perfect for the upcoming autumn months.

The ‘Voyager’ bag features a top zip fastening that opens to reveal a lined interior with lots of lovely storage space: nine slip pockets, one zip pocket and a central zipped compartment. It comes complete with adjustable side tie detail and two adjustable grab handles. As you’d imagine, it features Michael Kors branding on the front and has protective metal feet to the base. I also like that it’s one of the more affordable designer handbags on my wishlist. I may actually be able to justify buying this one!

And there you have it – my updated designer handbag wishlist. I have to be honest and say it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever be able to afford to treat myself to any of these bags. But a girl can dream, right? Don’t forget to let me know which one I should get if I suddenly get rich. I’m rubbish at making decisions for myself!

When I was in my early 20’s I was absolutely desperate for a Chloe Paddington handbag. You know the ones – they had a huge padlock on them! Well, my lovely fiancé bought me one for my 25th birthday and I should have been over the moon. However, it was in a colour I knew it had never been made in, which meant it was a fake. Gutting. I did use it a few times as I knew that Nathan would be disappointed if I didn’t, but knowing that it wasn’t the real deal definitely took the shine off it.

These days I have a list of designer handbag ‘wants’ as long as my arm, so I thought I’d share a few (or six) of them with you guys today. After all, who doesn’t like looking at beautiful handbags?

1. Mulberry Alexa Satchel – £1,100
I’ve had my eye on the Mulberry Alexa Satchel’s ever since their release back in 2010 and although handbags very often go out of style, I don’t think this one ever has. I’ve been lusting after this in both the black and oak shades recently, but as I’m in the market for a new black bag at the moment maybe I should bite the bullet and treat myself to it. What do you guys think?

2. Chloe Drew Cross-Body Bag – £1,050
Yes, I still love Chloe bags! Although I wouldn’t dare buy myself a bag in the Paddington style for fear of upsetting the better half, I would definitely buy something else from the range. This Chloe Drew Cross-Body Bag is another beautiful timeless piece and I think it would look absolutely gorgeous paired with a pretty dress and heels on a night out.

3. Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C – £128
Rebecca Minkoff bags are definitely my favourite of all the handbags that are available right now. The M.A.C – or Morning After Clutch range is one of the most popular available, yet I much prefer the Mini M.A.C’s! I think they’d be perfect for a night out with the girls. And this charcoal grey colour is right up my street. I can think of so many outfits I could team this with. I love it!

4. Kate Spade Cedar Street Harmony Small Shopper – £245
Kate Spade shopping bags have been on my radar for a while now, and I’m currently lusting after this one in a sweetheart pink shade. I think these bags are super elegant and look a lot more expensive than they actually are. I could see me getting a lot of use out of something like this if I were lucky enough to pick one up.

5. Chanel Classic Flap Bag – £3425
Next up is a bag that I think is probably on most handbag wishlists … the Chanel Classic Flap Bag. I could look at this little beauty all day! Unfortunately at over £3,000 this doesn’t come cheap. I’d definitely consider treating myself to one if I ever came into some money though.

6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Working Girl Leather Dolly Satchel – £355
And last but certainly not least I love this Working Girl Dolly Satchel from Marc by Marc Jacobs. The leather on this is absolutely gorgeous and has a grained finish with silver hardware. I can honestly say that I don’t have any other handbags like this in my collection, so it would make a really unique addition to it, and it’s one of the most affordable handbag on my wishlist as well!

Do you have a designer handbag in your collection?
