Shopping for Handbags: Modern or Classic?

If you love handbags, chances are you have a “type.”  You know what you like. Your handbag type may be more flexible, like being able to switch back and forth from a clutch for a night on the town to a satchel for work.  But I find that most women have a consistency to their “every day” bag – like a love of leather, or a certain shape or strap length.

I tend to be more a handbag traditionalist – eschewing modern looks and trends for big sturdy leather bags with a plethora of inside and outside pockets.  My most common brand of choice is Coach because their handbags are incredibly made and manage to be classic and stylish at the same time.  But in the interest of branching out, I’ve been investigating two new options: B Makowsky and Anya Hindmarch.

B Makowsky handbags tend to be traditional designs but with modern touches like funky hardware or unusual colors.  The price range is relatively affordable, with the average bag under $300, and some for as little as half of that. 

Anya Hindmarch bags tend to be a bit more than B Makowsky.  Here are some that I like:
