After weeks of searching, I finally found it… my perfect handbag! When it comes to clothes, shoes, bags and the rest, I am really quite fussy with what I want but I suppose you could always just say that I am a woman that just knows what she wants and knows her own mind. Now, when its comes to a handbag, it must have some basic requirements like a zip for starters; during my time browsing for a new bag, I’ve noticed that bag manufacturers must have a problem with zips these days as I struggled to find a bag with a zip and that was big enough to fit all my university books, notepads and other junk into. Although, I wanted a big enough bag for all of that stuff; I didn’t want to feel like I was dragging around a suitcase all day, everyday. Also, a bag must have pockets (inside and out) and finally, it must be a practical colour (by practical, I mean something that goes with near enough every outfit). Not too much to ask, right? Wrong, it took me six weeks to find a bag that fit these requirements and time wasn’t exactly on my side as everyday, my handbag was ripping more and more until finally, the strap snapped.
Anyway, after strolling around Exeter all day, I came across Accessorize (a shop, I’ve really thought about looking for bags in, but I had been in every other shops going, so this had to be worth a shot). The main pocket of the bag is the perfect size for getting all my university books and notepads in and the front and inside pocket are perfect for storing all my other handbag essentials; keeping my bag organized and neat. This perfectly sized bag with a black, decorative interior and a large, practical yet stylish front pocket is the perfect addition to any outfit, especially if you put it with a black leather jacket. As a lover of a good bargain, this beautiful Accessorize handbag had £15 off; reducing it from £45 to £30, which for a good quality handbag isn’t bad at all and saving £15 is a bonus – making the bag a must-have in my eyes!
