M&S's Handbag Collection Is So Strong Right Now |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

last updated 24 March 2023

By now, you may be aware that I have a particular infatuation with handbags. Micro or maxi, bedazzled or minimalist, bags are the first thing to catch my eye. But when it comes from moving from love-at-first-sight to actually taking the plunge to purchase, I'm a much harder judge.

There are a few things that I look for when shopping for bags, whether facing a designer purchase or high-street steal. Especially at the moment, if I part with my money, it has to be for good reason. And as someone who spends a lot of time scrolling through new-in styles (all in the name of research, of course), one brand's handbag collection has really impressed me, and that's Marks and Spencer.

Evody wears the M&S Faux Leather Cross Body Bag (£35).

So what to I take into account when looking at handbags? First, a timeless appeal is a must. With purse strings tightening, any investment must stand the test of time and work within my wardrobe forever. And M&S has served up an array of styles that look incredibly expensive and will withstand the changing trends. Second, what occasion is the bag destined for? A crossbody bag will be a useful style when running errands to throw keys and wallet in. A larger tote might become my new work bag, or am I looking for a summer-ready style that will carry all my beach-side essentials? Or maybe I'm simply searching for a fun new bag to inject some life into my wardrobe. Whatever it may be, Marks and Spencer has covered all bases.
