What's the one thing that a short trip to the supermarket, an evening out, or going out every day for work have in common? The answer: Handbags. A handbag is often the final item that we pick up before leaving the house, no matter where we are going, and to most of us, it is quite an important item. And being the final item that we add to our outfits, it is no surprise that it can either make or break our look. With that logic, there is quite a lot of pressure on our handbags; not only do they have to be good-looking and stylish, but also comfortable to be carried around all day.

 When looking to buy a handbag that complements your style, or even when looking for one as a gift idea, it is easy to get a little confused because of the sheer number of options and variety available. But fret not, for we have compiled a few tips for you that will help you choose the ideal handbag. To know more, read on.

Comfortable to carry around:

This has to be the most important consideration and one that is often neglected when we are out looking for the perfect handbag. We may love the look of a handbag, but the perfect handbag is nothing if it is a pain to carry around every day, and such an accessory is highly likely to end up at the bottom of your closet. When looking at handbags, make sure that when you try it on, you take notice of how it rests on your shoulder or arm. If it sits comfortably without sliding off and you needing to adjust it time and again, then it's a win. If you’re into handbags that have handles to carry in the hand, then make sure the straps aren’t too thin and rope-like. Wider straps will ensure that it does not put too much stress and dig into your palm.

Has enough pockets:

A handbag may look like a work of art and it may even be the most comfortable to carry around, but if it doesn’t have the right kind and number of compartments inside, it is quite useless. Always make sure to check inside and see if your handbag can give you what you need from it. If you don’t have a clear idea of how many compartments or space you will need, then it is always better to err on the higher side and go for a larger handbag with more compartments.

Is made of the right material:

Bags come in a variety of styles, makes and materials. Canvas, denim and leather are time-tested classic materials, but why not try something new? The leather bag has been losing its appeal in the past decade and is getting unpopular by the day. Many adventurous brands are coming up with materials that put the leather bag to shame. One such brand is Baula. Baula makes the most beautiful looking handbags, that may as well pass for pieces of art, from discarded materials such as fruit and vegetable wastes. Many brands are experimenting with waste materials like discarded fishing nets, or waste rubber and plastic to create truly sustainable pieces. Such ingenious products can also make for wonderful gift ideas if you want to introduce them to someone.

Has the perfect design. For you:

If you want a versatile and practical handbag then make sure you choose a colour, pattern, and design that you adore and think goes well with many of your outfits. A versatile bag should be fancy and dressy enough to go with most of your work attire, yet soft enough to go with your casual outfits as well. If you seem to favour a certain colour palette for your outfits, make sure that the handbag matches well with those shades.

  If you have most of these points, if not all, ticked, then rest assured that you have chosen well. Other than this, we are a staunch believer in the fact that the perfect design for you is the one you like and feel the most confident with.

American fashion designer, Racheal Zoe, once said, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” The saying holds true for everyone, even for those who claim to put no effort into how they dress. While local styles speak multitudes about the culture, history, and the climate of a region, cosmopolitan fashion goes on to show how well-connected the world has become. Clothing (or lack of it) is a form of self-expression and can be symbolic of gender, religion, belief, dissent, or any other aspect of one's personality.

 World over, fashion is an ever-changing industry. Most collections come and go out of vogue every season, and it is often difficult to keep up with the latest trends. While fast-fashion clothes go off the shelves every other week, seldom do some beautiful pieces remain truly timeless and evade the conventional ideas of trends. The same goes for accessories, which can also be seasonal and trendy, or sometimes classic and timeless. Rarely is an outfit complete without a handbag that brings the whole style together and can be used to complete and compliment an outfit.

   Handbags are often said to make or break a look, and a luxury bag is a perfect way to freshen up your wardrobe. When splurging on a luxury bag, it is always best to invest in a make and design that will stand the test of time. Luxury and flamboyance no longer go together, and it is usually elegant and minimal designs in calm colour palettes that do not have an expiration date to their style quotient. Another aspect to consider is the material used, and we are seeing that the previously popular leather is gradually losing ground to vegan leather. In addition to being a brutal material, the processing of leather consumes disproportionate amounts of water. It also uses and produces toxic chemicals which eventually find their way into the environment. Vegan leather is an ethical alternative material with the exact look and feel of leather.

Although there are many definitions of vegan leather, which usually mean synthetic materials, upcoming ingenious brands are now using the refuse from farm and food industries to make alternative leather. Colombia-based Baula is one such brand that is making use of alternative materials for their vegan handbags. Baula is taking a holistic approach in the production of its featured vegan handbags and wallets. The brand uses Piñatex and Apple Skin for the outer material. Piñatex and Apple Skin are leather alternatives. Piñatex is made of pineapple leaves, a by-product of the large pineapple farming industry in the Philippines, and requires no additional resources to produce. It can be easily cut, stitched, and embossed for various designs. Apple Skin is another alternative from Italy. It is made from the crushed refuse of apple juice industries. While Piñatex and Apple Skin are used for the outer material, the linings and covers of the vegan handbags are made from polyester or a blend of polyester and cotton. The polyester itself is produced from recycled plastic bottles in Columbia, while the cotton fabric is upcycled material obtained from leftovers in the fashion industry. The labels of these vegan handbags are made of chemical-free and bleach-free paper produced from sugarcane waste.
