Hey there everyone I am so excited to share my latest find! Last night when I couldn't sleep I was exploring the Internet for designer inspired bags. Lately I have been wanting a new Chloe bag and considering I just got one my hubby purchased for me over the holidays I know I won't realistically be getting another real one for some time. Handbags are hard for me, I have always had a weakness for gorgeous designer bags. It all started in high school with the Coach small logo canvas bag. Sure the Coach bags are nothing compared to the real high end bags, I would later discover. As time went on and my passion for handbags got deeper I started to lust after LV and Burberry bags. Not the typical logo bags but the expensive leather bags. I have purchased many second hand or designer inspired for less but only have a few real high end (over $1000) handbags which were gifts from my husband. He knows my love for bags and doesn't think I need anymore but understands that as a woman there are always a few bags that come out that are staple bags for your wardrobe that will be used for many years and you just have to have.
Chloe bags have become my newest favorites the last few years. I got my first one off eBay which was a store sample and priced so good I almost couldn't believe when I won the bid under $300. It was so gorgeous when it arrived and I carried daily even if it didn't match perfectly with every outfit. I have tons of designer bags from Tory Burch, Michael Kors, LV, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and more, but my Chloe bag was by far my favorite. I later purchased another second hand Chloe from the same eBay seller I got the sample bag from. I paid under $200 and again was so excited when it arrived. This one was a colored leather bag and didn't match with as much as a black or brown bag but I couldn't pass up when I saw the condition and how low the bids were. A few weeks ago my newest and only brand new bag arrived from Chloe. My husband had ordered it before Christmas but it didn't arrive till recently because it was out of stock. It was well worth the wait for sure. While waiting I started seeing all these other styles and wishing or wandering maybe I should have ordered this style or gotten this color. When spending such a large amount of money, which for some is a months rent and utilities, or two months of pay depending on your job, you really want to make sure you are getting something you will love or cherish for many years.
Chloe has so many amazing designs that it is hard to pick only one. I decided since I like to change up my bags to match my outfits and now that I work as a stylist I needed to have more colors and styles, that is when my hunt for similar looks began. I found so many but none were spot on, or the quality looked a little less then stellar. Last night I felt like I had hit the Powerball jackpot when I came across the Jessica Buurman site. Endless styles, colors, and a large variety of bags all designer inspired and looks right off the runways. The prices are not super cheap or under $50 but if the quality is good they are worth the $70-115 price ranges. They look pretty much identical to the real deal and the details are amazing.
I am hoping to be able to get my hands on at least one style to review and take photos of for everyone. You know I don't like to recommend anything till I have seen it first hand or have dealt with the seller myself. Back a few years ago I posted about the glitter speedy bag by LV and had found an inspired by bag that was so amazing I had to share. It still to this day has been my most viewed blog post and the shop sold out within days of my post. Since of course the bag sold out and the shop isn't even open anymore but I remember how much my followers and readers, like me love the finer things in life and fashion. I know you all lust after the same type of fashion and designer pieces I do so I wanted to share this with you as soon as I could. I have added a link below to the Jessica Buurman website, and it will take you straight to their purse section. In my side bar I have added a banner so you can check out their full website. I didn't get much time to look at their entire site but I did see that they had a lot of trendy style shoes and clothes also. I will be checking more into their site and looking for reviews on their handbags for you, keep an eye out for an update by midweek.
Below are some of my favorites from their site, and the link to the purse page. Again I don't own any of their bags and I have not seen their bags in person, so for now I am just sharing a site I found that had some really great styles that look exactly like the high end version. I will hopefully have more to post in the upcoming week and maybe even a bag to share with you soon. Have a great evening and happy bargain hunting. Xoxo
