Classic investment bags are quite possibly the most-loved items in my closet. They’re the pieces that instantly elevate any outfit and I know I’ll use them for years and years to come. The only downside is an investment bag is, well, an investment. They can be pricey! However, picking up the bag of your dreams pre-loved can give you access to that sought after ‘it-bag’ for a fraction of the price of buying it new.

I received this beautiful Celine Trapeze bag from Luxe.It.Fwd, one of my new go-to online stores for pre-owned luxury bags, shoes and jewellery (guaranteed authentic, of course!). Luxe.It.Fwd have a great range of designer bags from all my favourite brands (Chanel, Saint Laurent, and Prada to name a few) that are very reasonably priced. If you have any handbags in your collection that aren’t feeling the love anymore, Luxe.It.Fwd can also sell them for you (so you can replace them with a new piece that you’ll love and use!).

I’d been eyeing off this Celine Trapeze bag for months and months, so when I saw it on Luxe.It.Fwd for a fraction of it’s usual price I knew I had to have it! This size is the medium, which is the perfect every day size for me (it has a longer shoulder strap too). It also arrived in amazing condition – I’m obsessed with it!

    Wow! You wear an all black outfit really well :) All the different textures compliment each other wonderfully. I couldn’t agree more with what you said about how investing in designer bags can be pricy but it’s worth it! You will actually end up saving money when you buy more high-street or designer items because they’re better quality thus they’ll last you longer than more affordable clothing which isn’t always made with the best materials.
