Right now, the shelf life of even the most expensive, luxury designer bags is becoming less and less. By shelf life I mean the length of time it’s the ‘IT’ piece, the ‘must have’ fashion accessory of the moment before another is brought out and it’s time to upgrade.

In the last few years we’ve seen fashion go from 4 seasons a year, to practically a new season and style each week. It’s hard to keep up. Whether you love fashion and like me, buy what you only love or whether you’re a follower who prefers always looking ahead of the curve, I’m sure we can all agree that the sheer volume of what’s on offer at the moment is a little overwhelming.

That said, the great thing about having variety and choice is that the price points can sometimes be a little more preferable because of the competition and said shelf life. Sites like The Outnet have some really great offers on bags, shoes, clothes and everything in between and don’t forget MatchesFashion and the like have some fantastic sales sometimes.

I’ve recently discovered Valentino by Mario Valentino and I have to say I’m impressed! The designs are beautiful and they come in some great shades which match with virtually anything. I like the elegant style and the hardware tassel too. I’ve curated my favourite designer bags, all costing under £100 so check out my edit below!
