With a plethora of handbags ranging from different sizes, colours and designs to choose from, a woman can never have too many handbags, especially designer handbags - one for every occasion to adorn her outfit. But, they do not come with a cheap price tag either. Unless you're super rich and can afford to shell out thousands of dollars to satisfy your lust for designer handbags, why not buy ones that are a lot similar for a fraction of the price?
Go on and embrace your sense of fashion in a reasonable state of mind within your financial means in these designer inspired handbags from brands like Chloe, Celine, Hermes, Mulberry and the likes.

Irrespective of fashion, handbags are a necessity for women to store all the essentials like wallet, cellphones, keys and cosmetics when they're out and about. Personally, I don't think I can function without a bag - I wouldn't know where to keep all my stuff. Trousers with pockets are great but even so, cellphones are getting bigger nowadays and they no longer fit into pockets, what more my other essentials like water bottle to stay hydrated, cardigan to keep warm in cinemas and a pen and notebook to jot my ideas and thoughts. Also, more often than not, you would find that your handbag is a place your husband or boyfriend throw their keys and pamphlets they take from the electrical and gadget stores. So the next time your boyfriend or husband complains that you own one too many bags, tell him that he uses all of them too. Perhaps, this could be a great excuse to get him to buy you another to add to your already extensive collection of handbags.
