Caring for your arm candy!

Once upon a time only designer handbags came with 'dustbags', you know...a soft fabric draw-string bag with the brand logo on?

Nowadays, most high end fashion handbags and accessories come in a branded dustbag (yes, most high quality purses come in dustbags and boxes too).

Not only does it say something about the quality of the product and we should know as being very particular about the brands we stock, it's also telling you to keep your gorgeous arm candy in there when not in use! It doesn't take a genius to figure out what they're used for, they're called dustbags for a reason. If you can manage to part with your gorgeous arm candy and I presume you would only be doing this as you have a new bag, then please store it in the proper manner. By storing it in its dustbag, without stating the obvious *cough cough* it will be free from dust, and you will protect it from stains and dirt. Be honest who has thrown an unused handbag in the bottom of their wardrobe and now its covered in shoes and boots?

So what if your bag doesn't come with a dustbag? Then do not worry, a suitable substitute is a pillow case...seriously, don't laugh, it does the job just fine! But please do not be tempted with anything plastic, this just causes other problems such as mould and damp, not good if your pride and joy is real leather and put you in the red at the bank...is it?

Every week at Envy H.Q gorgeous handbags and accessories are delivered. The first thing our dedicated team do is check every single product for any defects or missing parts such as detachable straps, charms or dustbags. The product is then packed with paper if required for holding its shape and stored in a proper fashion. When we ship our items to customers we want them to arrive in their best and immaculate condition...no one likes receiving a faulty or poor packaged product. We hope that when you're paying your hard earned cash for something that could last you a long long time, you treat it with the respect it deserves.

New year and i'm thinking new handbag!

Right, let’s be honest! Who’s handbag could do with a clear out? Who’s handbag has seen better days? And who uses the same handbag day in day out?

If your nodding your head and thinking yes to any of these questions, chances are your handbag needs a detox or you need a new one!

I'll be honest, i’m not very good at sticking to new years resolutions (as I dip another chocolate hobnob into my tea) but one thing I do know is that I keep my handbag clean and tidy, inside and out! Not only that, I change it frequently to fit my mood and style. The amount of people I have this conversation with, who say "I've had this same bag for years" or "This one goes with everything'' is all well and good but lets face it, you wouldn’t wear the same shoes everyday for months on end or years…would you? 

The beauty about a good looking handbag is it will look great with everything, so whatever wardrobe dilemma you may be having when you jump out of bed on a morning you can guarantee your handbag won't let you down in the fashion stakes.

Spring is just around the corner and here, at Bag Envy gorgeous new arrivals are arriving daily, whether you’re looking to replace your ‘old everyday faithful’ fancy something classy for work or need a new clutch for the weekend, we have everything covered whatever the occasion. Here's a few of our favourites...
