Although we are in the midst of snow and cold, I’m already thinking about the spring-summer 2019 fashion trends. Here on TSS, I place a large focus on quality, luxury fashion. Now although I may always be lusting after the latest Chanel or Prada, I also always have my eye out for new designer handbags. Remember when we all went crazy for the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag? Or when Cult Gaia achieved cult status? I’m always listening for which new designer is about to create the next it bag for 2019. After all, luxury doesn’t always mean four figures! A lot of the times you can get a luxury handbag for under £500! So, if you want to be in the know, here are the five new handbag designers to keep your eye on for the next it bags for 2019.

WANDLER

Picking up on the belt bag trends, Wandler have created the cutest bum bags that are quickly becoming popular on the street style scene. Coming in a variety of colours and sizes I already know which one I have my eye on. Don’t miss their bigger sizes, especially the ones with the croc-effect finish!

Recently while I was attending a friends wedding in Marrakech, another friend was sporting the cutest bag. She introduced me to Montunas. They were recently picked up by Net-A-Porter and they have a small but beautiful collection. The perfect bag to get you in the mood for spring!

I discovered Wicker Wings on one of my nightly browses and have quickly filled up my wishlist with their bags. Choose between a wicker bucket bag or a belt bag or even one of their top handles. I have my eye on a beautiful emerald green one! Perfect to carry me through 2019!

One of my most frequently asked questions is how to take care of designer bags properly. You’ve splurged on your dream bag but how do you maintain it when you aren’t wearing it! Luckily I have some experience in this area and after gathering a lot of tips from the women around me I’ve learnt that there are three practices that are necessary for properly taking care of your luxury handbags. I’ve shared these three tips with you below so scroll down to learn how I make sure all my bags remain looking as beautiful as the day I got them!

I know a lot of you also wonder how to store them. I’ve covered that in the tips below along with some special tips for storing your bags when you don’t have a lot of living space!

1. STORE IN COOL DRY PLACES IN CLOTH BAGS.

Always store your designer handbags in the cloth bags they came in. This protects them from dust and any other factors that may ruin the material of the bag. Make sure that your bags are stored in a dry place as moisture can ruin the leather/material of your bag, including the inside of your bag. If you live in Europe, this is much easier to do but if you live in Asia, you’ll know that moisture and humidity can find it’s way into your closet. A trick I learnt from growing up in India is to take those little silica gel bags you get with some purchases and place them inside your bags. This will soak up any moisture in the air!

Some of you are wondering how to store your bags if you have limited storage space (Did someone say London apartment problem? I feel you). There are a few options that you can explore. You can either get these clear drawers from Muji, which are large enough for you to neatly place your bags in and makes them easy to access. The extra storage is always welcome right? For clutches and smaller bags, you can look to get a soft hanging shelf in your closet. This has soft shelves that you can store more bags in.

Top Tip: Take those little silica gel bags you get with some purchases and place them inside your bags. This will soak up any moisture in the air!

2. STUFF THEM

To make sure your bags maintain their shape, be sure to stuff them. You can either stuff them with fabrics like your scarves or with acid-free tissue paper. Usually, when you get a new bag, they come with stuffing already and I tend to keep this stuffing going in all my bags. You can also purchase bag inserts that will help to keep the shape of your bag but I prefer the previous options as they are just easier.  It’s very hard for a bag to regain it’s shape, trust me that’s a lesson I’ve learnt the hard way, so make sure you stuff them properly!

3. CLEAN THEM REGULARLY

Like anything, your bags need some TLC. Some designer bags come with a buffing cloth that you can use to buff and clean the leather. You can use this for all your bags. You can also get a special scotch guard for your cloth/suede bags to make sure they do not stain. It always helps to maintain the material of your bags by giving them a good wipe and clean every few months.
