Getting a new handbag is wonderful. Choosing something that’s fashionable and matches your latest outfit will make many ladies feel like they’ve made an excellent purchase. However, it can be stressful when you can’t find exactly what you need. Here are some of our tips to make handbag shopping enjoyable once again.

• Select a few staples, and a few statement items. It’s hard to have a handbag to suit all occasions, but if you have a few that you can mix and match it will be easier to make that perfect choice.
• Choose handbags that are practically designed. There’s nothing worse than using a handbag that is, quite frankly, a pain to carry around. Choose one that zips up for added security, and that has plenty of pockets for all your essential items.
• Think about the size. It is often hard to get a happy medium – for example, if you’re choosing a handbag for a night out, you don’t want it to be too big, but you want to be able to fit everything in it. Take something with you to test the size when you go shopping, such as a purse and make up bag.
