What’s it in a bag?

Truth be told, I don’t know what I love more: shoes or bags. But I can undoubtedly say that either of these two can easily make or break an outfit. So what’s it in a bag? What am I looking for when I’m off searching for a new perfect carry-away piece to add to my wardrobe? Of course, who doesn’t dream of a Chloé, Chanel or Hermès!? But I’ll tell you what fascinates me just the same, what turns my head and becomes my object of coveting. It’s the minimalist elegance, the attention to detail, the classic feel resembling maybe one of the classics  mentioned above, but not exactly one you can put your finger on, that design which could easily turn it into an IT bag, but still has that brand consciousnessless that makes it all the more distinctive, discrete, and thus the more intriguing and appealing to me. Just like these Carin Wester fall-winter 2011-2012 handbags.

    I love them both equally, though bags are easier to wear rather than 5 inch heels;)
    These Carine Wester bags are really beautiful♥

    You couldn’t have described it better! (About what you’re looking when not being able to buy a Chloe or Hermes). These bags from Carine Wester are so classy, elegant and a bit special, I think they’re beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. And about choosing between a bag or shoes… I simply can’t;)

    I am definitely a shoe girl myself. 🙂 I adore beautiful bags, but don’t have many. And yes, a good bag is so much about proper quality and design, not just the price and just like you, I love classic styles, minimalism and the feel. The brand comes next. x

    so true how a beautiful bag and lovely shoes completes an outfit. i especially like the sleek elegance of these bags… and they’re big enough to slip a magazine into, which i love to do.

    thanks so much for the e.e.cummings quote on your blog. i rarely see him quoted and he’s one of my favorite poets.

    I like your choices. It just that kind of bag you don’t have to try too hard to match it with your outfit. Simple but still classy…
