We sussed out stylish arm candies that require just a portion of your paycheck
As we're fast approaching the mid-year, the more prominent designer labels have not relented with their incessant launches of luxurious bags that our hearts cannot resist. While these brands do a stellar job of hitting where we are vulnerable, our dismal bank statements make an effective diversion to an impulsive swipe of a credit card. However, as they say: When there's a will, there's a way. And indeed there's a way to bagging up stylish leather goods without going hungry for days. Here, we curated five of these mid-level designer bags that you can consider spending your paycheck on; best done so during a time when the likes of Burberry, Balenciaga and Birkin are out of reach.
3. Mlouye
When an industrial designer such as Mlouye’s founder Meb Rures starts dabbling in the leather goods business, you get expect arm candies that are not only sleek and minimalistic, but also functional enough to hold all your belongings in one space. The brand offers a range of sculptural shoulder bags, totes, top-handles, and backpacks, all of which can be worn in versatile ways, thanks to their convertible straps. Usually sporting earthy tones of hunter green, dark sand and taupe, the bags are handcrafted with fine leather sourced from environmentally friendly tanneries in Italy, France, and Turkey.
