Brilliant Budget Bags Ft Shein.

I’m quite renowned for my handbag obsession – not designer ones, although if I could afford them I probably would partake in those as well! No, just your everyday, High Street ‘budget’ bags.

When I used to work in an office, I had a ‘handbag cupboard’ with over 40 of them in and I would swap them daily to go with my outfits … that’s actually quite embarrassing to admit!

The thing is with bags, it doesn’t matter if you’re having a big bum day or a tired, ugly face day – a bag always looks great doesn’t it?! Also I love that you can wear a relatively simple outfit and style it up with a statement handbag.

Although I don’t generally spend a lot of money on bags, I really don’t want them to look cheap – so for me, the material ‘budget bags’ are made out of is really important. Sometimes imitation leather looks a bit thin and shiny or the hardware can be flimsy or overly yellow if it’s gold, so I think you do have to be choosy.

I have particular high street and online shops that I find tend to do good affordable bags and one of those is Shein who are well known for their designer handbag dupes.

I only placed my first order with them a couple of months ago and I was really impressed with the ones that arrived:

I chose one with quite a lot of detail on it, which I am absolutely obsessed with – I had it on the chair in my bedroom for a few days just so I could keep admiring it!

Double Bird Buckle Bag, £24.43

Then I chose a patent bag which I thought would be really cute for Autumn to add a different texture to my outfits – I got myself a bottle green one and a gorgeous cherry red colour for my friend’s birthday and she absolutely loved it!

So now I’ve seen how good their bags are and that they live up to the hype,  it’s done nothing to help my bag fetish and I have a feeling I may need to reintroduce the handbag cupboard?!

Here’s a few more I have my eye on – can you spot the Chloe, Gucci and YSL Dupes?!:
