Latest handbag 2014?

    Hi,

    I am wondering what is the 'must have' designer (within lower price range) at the moment.
    I have been considering the Michael Kors Jet Set Tote in black, has Michael Kors had its day or is it still on trend?

    Any other reasonably priced designer handbags that are in fashion?

    It would be an investment piece.

    I would not consider a Michael Kors bag to be an investment piece - they are far too common these days and there are fakes all over the place (took a walk through the Liberty Market last Saturday). I think the brand has become the new Guess in Ireland (no offence to anyone who has these bags but every second person seems to have them).

    I would recommend a plainer bag with a not so visible logo if you want it to last - TK Maxx have had a good range of Modalu bags which are nice quality and don't scream "current trend".

    I wouldn't consider Michael Kors an investment piece either. I do like MK and the jet set bag is nice but you will probably see lots of people with it. Marc by Marc Jacobs would be around the same price and you might find something a bit more unique.

    To be honest, MK bags are nice, but not quality enough to be an investment piece.

    I've bought two Vivienne Westwood full leather bags in the last few years. The quality is superb and they are fairly timeless in style. At the same time, they're slightly unconventional too.

    At a minimum try to find an all-leather handbag, inspect the stitching & seams and get a feel for what quality is like.

    Looking for an 'on-trend'/ fashion piece as an investment is a bit of an oxymoron.

    I've just bought a Tory Burch handbag. Very good quality and a lot more subtle than michael kors.
    Or a coach bag!!
