I love this beaded bag from Valentino Garavani. It is petite, a fabulous shape and the diamante detail gives it a sparkly, glitzy look without it being over the top and garish. With the party season not too far away, this little black bag is one ‘must-have’ that will have plenty of nights out!
The bag is made from a lined satin fabric with gorgeous black beads covering the outside. A sturdy framed handle and clasp closure gives the bag a retro feel. All you need now is your favourite LBD and kitten heels and you’ll look and feel a million dollars.

A ‘Chloe‘ bag continues to be a much sought after item, and this season it seems that the larger, the better. This lovely medium sized leather bag is made from a gorgeous shade of the softest nappa leather. The contrasting zip pulls and thin stitched strips coiled around the shoulder strap making it tough and durable, are made from a shiny patent leather which is just a shade darker than the nappa, giving off a great effect.
Chloe certainly know how to design fantastic bags that are not only stylish, but top quality with fine attention to detail too.

Choosing the Right Backpack - Some Thoughts
When choosing the right backpack, whether for daily use or for hiking/travelling purposes, there are a number of factors you should take into consideration. For example, health is one of the main issues that is likely to be affected.
First of all, the backpack needs to be sturdy, particularly if you plan to take extended trips or go hiking. The most important thing however, is comfort. Most backpacks will have an adjustable back system which means it can be slid up and down your back until set at its most comfortable. It should also have comfortable straps for your shoulders that won`t rub, scratch or irritate your skin.
Never rely on the idea that more expensive backpacks are better quality. Always check the features, size and so forth. With lots of storage, ensure that it is comfortable and suits your body shape and size. Make sure you ask for advice! A sales person is likely to help you find a backpack to suit your stature and purpose for usage. The right pack size is relative to your weight and duration of the trip (i.e. how long you will be carrying it on your shoulders for). There is no one-size-fits-all concept when it comes to backpacks. You need to find the right frame for you.
Remember to pack your bag lightly to avoid damage to your spine. Some backpacks are sold as extra light while others have features such as crush resistance, single or double straps, frameless, lumber and torso, hydration, infant and child backpacks and so on.
Ensure your backpack is practical with suitable pockets and space for storage. Solid back supports will avoid articles from bulging into your back. YKK zips are strong, corrosion resistant and won`t break as easily as other zips. Other useful features include waterproofing, attached bum bags, strong stitching and zips with holes in them for padlocking. Popular backpack brands include REI, North Face, Eureka, Jansport and Camp Trails. They all have websites and their products can be purchased online or in stores.
Backpacks for Children should be purchased with care because again, the type of pack will have an affect on their health. For example shoulder and back pain are often associated with the amount of load carried, posture and so forth. Carrying a pack with padded shoulder straps will help carry the load and a waist strap ensures better balance. Backpacks for children should be made from strong material that won`t sag. Make sure you buy a suitable size, packs that are too big are damaging to spinal health.
Well made backpacks can survive strong weather and conditions of the sort. For good care, some precautions need to be taken. Do not store your pack in a damp place, as this will cause mildew and mould which could damage the threading. Furthermore keep it away from strong heat, including direct sunlight, and substances such acids, alkalis, oxidising agents and such. Wash it gently by hand with a mild soap and do not put it in the dryer.
With the help of the above tips, you should be on your way to determining what backpacks will best suit your leisure or travelling needs.
Another favourite from Radley, this leather bag has an adjustable shoulder strap allowing you the option of wearing it over your shoulder as a conventional shoulder bag, or by lengthening the strap, across you body.
Available in 3 colours: black, brown or tan, it is an ideal everyday bag that can take you from work through to a night out with friends. It is large enough to carry whatever you need in a handbag and it has plenty of internal and external pockets to organize all your personal possessions, making it practical too.
