The Revolution of the leather bag

I guess this is a sign of defeat if my hubby should read this as he has always been talking and a strong advocate of the aesthetics of leather bags.  Ladies you wouldn't blame me, for the whole concept of bags was the fact that it had to be fabric or coloured leather of some sort from either GUCCI, GUESS or big brand names.

My sister in law introduced me to leather bags and that's when I realised how beautiful these products were.  They are not only beautiful, but they carry some sort of class that only a few people with a fervent taste for sophistication dare carry them as they can be really pricey.  I may go into storage to grab the hand woven one my hubby bought for me during his travels!

I looked at a few of these products and my favoutite feature of all is the gorgeous looking sachel above by GUCCI, which is hand made.  This sachels is a lovely Hatian artisan piece.  With striking details that reflect off this large beauty starting with it's rich brown leather body.

The twisting patterns give character and what would have been a simple looking bag and a fantastically braided top handles gives off the perfect finishing touches.  It's a Bohemian-chic style, bag that is sure to occupy closet space for many seasons to come.
 I know I have been converted, how about you?
