Is it practical?

We haven’t picked this classic hobo as our revered bag of the week just because of its obvious practicality.  Yes, its large dimensions of H25 x W40 x D13 cm make this gorgeous handbag highly usable and functional but the chic tan coloured interwoven outer design of the Love Changes handbag has us weak at the knees.  It’s typical slouchy hobo crescent shape and thick strap make this a really comfortable bag to wear and its secure outer zip fastening and inner pockets means none of your valuables will be escaping.

Who wears it?

This brand simply is for ‘every woman’.  There is so much variety and the label is always producing on trend styles.  The incredibly urban and current Tulisa was recently seen out with Fiorelli’s ‘Warhol’ grab in plum.

Did you know?

The Fiorelli handbag collection  is packed FULL of all different shapes, sizes, colours and styles- enough to have any handbag fashionista worth their salt drooling over which one to pick.  But that’s the great thing about Fiorelli.  With their price point ranging from £35-£69…you don’t just have to pick just one! There really is something for everyone  and you can afford to be extravagant.

Why do we love it?

Along with this Fiorelli handbag’s casually cool hobo shape and design, we just LOVE that we can get a designer look but without the designer price tag.  Here at BagServant we strive to satisfy everyone’s budget, but that does not mean we skimp on style.  The Fiorelli “Love Changes” Large Hobo Bag in tan has all the elements and form of the designer Bottega Veneta Hobo Bag, but amazingly, at a fraction of the cost.  The bag is not leather but the use of good quality synthetic fabrics mean that Fiorelli handbags allow you to get the look you are after, but thankfully without breaking the bank.

BagServant’s style tip.

The very essence of a hobo style handbag is an effortless cool, laid-back feel.  Throw this slouchy handbag on with your tight bright blue skinny jeans, oversized parka and nude coloured wedge trainers for a very current look.

Any Trendsetter will adore these bags! They look like high-end designer handbags that wouldn’t look out of place swinging off the arms of the likes of Victoria Beckham or Sienna Miller. If you want to get ahead in the style stakes, these are the bags for you:

And our editor’s pick…. As a Big Bag Lover, this handbag is ideal for her. The classic shape but woven material makes the handbag an everyday accessory but it is still undeniably eye-catching. The handbag is also available in fuchsia pink, perfect to perk you up on a dismal day!

A: Hi there. I find that I have the same problem to when I go to weddings, I never know if the clutch I’m going to take is going to be too big or too small. I suggest that you take an oversized clutch, that way you can carry your flats in the bag just in case!

Why not try wearing the Frenchonista Debbie Clutch. The gold metallic finish on the clutch will not only be a perfect match for your dress but will add a bit of sparkle without going overboard. The clutch also has a unique structure as you have to fold it over to carry it.

If your not brave enough to wear a  metallic bag then you can always go for a classic black number. The BIBA Faith Embossed clutch is a standout piece as it has gold detailing on the side and is a unique piece from the iconic brand.

Finally if you are looking for something a little different then why not have a look at designer Lulu Guinness’s Lip clutch. It is slightly daring and unusual but it will definitely  give you attention for ALL the right reasons.

Here are the three I have suggested and a few more – hope you get the inspiration you need!

The satchel would look great on any Trendsetter.

We love it because…

This is a bag for those days where you want to jump out of your dark corner and shout “everyone look at me!” It’s colourful, it’s shiny and it brightens up your day. We’ve had this little bag in the BagServant office for a while now and everytime we look at it, it brings a little smile to our faces. Maybe it’s the surreal shape or the raised surface of the mock croc texture which looks as though it’s about to burst into life. Don’t worry, it doesn’t bite. What it does do is fit very nicely around your shoulder with an ingenious fitted strap with a blue mock croc finish. Although the gold chain is a nice touch, it can get a little twisted and tangled, so don’t just throw it on the sofa at the end of the day.

It’s worth pointing out, if you’re not a fan of the shoulder handle design, that the pink version of the bag comes with a soft leather handle. Other than that it is practically the same in every way… except it’s pink!

It can fit…

Yes, it is very small. You can’t fit your life into it, unless you consider your phone to be your life, because that’s just about all it will carry. I tried to squeeze my keys in it and had to take apart all my key chains for it to fit and close. This is a statement bag for nights out when all your holding is this and a glass of wine, so really I would recommend anyone who lives a minimalist lifestyle to purchase this bag.

Interior..

Underneath the golden clasp is a lavender satin interior and the signiture Riki Rosetta tag. The shoulder strap is the perfect length for you unlock the bag and quickly whip out your phone without fussing about.

Perfect for…

As I said before, this review was written especially for our Sugar Delights because this is the kind of bag she would see in the shop window and give out a little squeak of joy. And why not? It’s a cute little item could find its way to any bag lover’s heart. Without sounding cheesy, it’s happiness that’s been downsized to be slung over your shoulder. If you need a little pick me up, this is your retail therapy, literally!

Hurra, the solution is here. Fiorelli’s Virginia Medium in Cream only costs £56 and  looks very similar to Mulberry´s Alexa.
