My Must Have Bag

My Must Have Bag
I feel like every girl has an area of her closet where she saves money, and an area where she spends money. I save money on tops and shoes. I don't like to spend more than $30 on a top and physically cringe if I spend more than $50 on a pair of shoes. I spend money on purses and jeans. I believe in high quality denim and leather handbags. To me they are a long-term investment that I will use for years to come. Over time I've been slowly but surely growing my handbag collection. I don't have many, but the ones I have I absolutely adore. For the last few months I've been looking for the perfect everyday bag. I needed something structured, that fit over my shoulder, and worked with both dressy and casual outfits. After a lot of searching I finally found my must have bag. Meet the Mulberry Bayswater: Untitled design-3(Photos from Pinterest) Isn't it gorgeous? It was love at first sight. It's the perfect shape that can fit a lot or a little and look just as good at the office as it does out running errands. I love how it's free from crazy grommets and intricate zippers. It is just so classic and timeless to me. Untitled design-2(Photos from Pinterest) The brown Mulberry Bayswater was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing that wasn't so perfect was the price tag. Retail was way out of my budget so I turned to used luxury retailers online. These are my not-so-secret weapon for finding luxury goods at deeply discounted prices. I've had good experiences with The RealReal before, so I started stalking the website daily. I like how they provide lots of pictures, describe the condition of the items that they're selling, and have an authenticity team that checks every item someone consigns with them to make sure it's not fake. The problem with The RealReal is because of how good their prices are, things sell out super quickly. Usually as soon as this bag would hit the site it would sell out and I'd have to add myself to the wait list. After months and months of waiting, I started to give up hope. Then suddenly last week a brown Mulberry Bayswater became available. It was in great condition, being sold at a reasonable price, and The RealReal was even offering a 20% coupon code for my purchase! I pulled the trigger and didn't look back. Mulberry Bayswater Her Heartland Soul Erin Fairchild I'm now the proud owner of this beauty. It's going to get a lot of use! And I love it even more because of how much work I put into finding it. :D [Tweet "My must have bag @Mulberry_Editor #fashion #ontheblog #style #handbag #purse"] Questions of the Day: What closet items do you save and splurge on?
