How Do I Choose a Good Evening Bag?
When choosing an evening bag, there are many features to consider when finding the best choice that suits your style and various occasions. Evening bags vary in shape, colour and style, but all have similar qualities that ensure they are categorise as statement evening bags.
All evening bags present a more compact size, perfect for storing all the essentials you need for an evening with friends and loved ones. Internal and external compartments provide extra security and more storage, with top handles or cross body straps for a handheld or hands-free look. Our Bee mini grab cross body bag comes with a detachable strap to suit your preferences, perfect for both casual and formal evenings alike.
You should also consider the colour of your new designer evening bag to ensure it meets the requirements of your wardrobe and the occasion. If you’re looking for an evening bag that can suit any evening occasion, whether you’re attending a dinner party or simply having a drink with friends in the pub, look for more neutral colours such as black and silver to ensure you have a stylishly reliable option always on hand. Our Gracie A Frame shoulder bag in black is a classic choice, with the functionality to pair with any evening dress to create a sophisticated silhouette.
A good evening bag needs to be crafted from high quality materials to be durable and last through the years. Our designer handbags at Jasper Conran London are designed and created with the modern, on the go woman in mind, crafted to stand the test of time and fluctuating trends. Leather is a durable, stylish material that is low maintenance and generally resistant to life’s wear and tear, making it the perfect material for an evening handbag.
