Affordability is no doubt a relative measure. But of course, make it a point to reflect on the fact that, often, what you pay for is what you get.

As I have always said, all girls should have a few wardrobe essentials, such as a good quality leather handbag. I love my designer wares, but I don’t insist that everyone has to own one, to qualify as chic.

I haven’t had a notably good experience with ASOS. But, that doesn’t stop me from checking out their leather section, especially after reading a review about a full-leather ASOS clutch on purseblog. Sorry, I can’t find the Purse Blog link now.

Here are a couple of great finds- yes, I’m abit biased towards the cross-body satchels because I need one, as a workhorse ;)

Cambridge Satchel Company15" Satchel- love the neutral colour and the classic box structure! It has to be my top pick from the lot! It is also available in black and purple on the website.

ASOS Faux Croc Leather Bag- Love the faux croc prints, even if it’s faux! But again, as good as it looks in the photos, I dont have much faith in ASOS house products…

Another ASOS leather satchel. It is a nice pop of colour, given that ASOS has represented their colour in good faith. Ok, I know colours do vary with monitor display. But if it is a common encounter amongst practically all of my gf with mispresentation of colour hues, then I guess I'm not really whinging excessively this time :P
