The importance of a bag
It is not a complement to your look , nor is it an unimportant accessory. A bag has to be your ally , a wild card capable of solving any look for you in the next 10 years. Promised. Therefore, you need to choose it well. To do this, the most important thing is that you make sure that you are not going to tire of its shape or color. We give you the keys.
How to choose my wild card bag
- Classic shapes. Everything goes out of style so if you have decided to invest, the most reasonable thing is that you do it in a design of the classics, the kind that you have never stopped seeing. Two examples of this are a shopper or shopping bag and the tote type . Unlike shoulder bags –which do not go out of style–, these are much more useful and gather enough space so that you can store your whole life in there. But be careful, you don't want uncontrollable chaos to be stored there either.
- Timeless colors: Yes, that pink, red and yellow are triumphing is undeniable. And yes, of course you have to get clothes and accessories in these colors. But if what you are looking for is a wild card bag, one of those that will accompany you for many years, they better be in colors that you cannot get tired of . Black and navy (dark) are the best options.
Taking all of this into account, you have two options: Invest in a Bimba y Lola bag and ensure quality and subsistence guarantee of the accessory in question. Or bet on the low cost alternatives that we have gathered so that you can have a couple of them. It's up to you!
