The world of handbags is vast and sometimes difficult to traverse through, especially if you cannot find a bag that not only fits your style, but is in your budget range. There are a number of ways to go about finding the right bag for you, whether you shop online or look through a dealer’s selection of wholesale handbags at a flea market or street cart. However, you may find yourself not being totally satisfied with the fashion elements on your bag, so you are thinking about taking matters into your own hands. Instead of having to make your own bag, add to a western style handbag you already own with your own creativity. Here are some ideas for adding flair to your bags:
Make It Prettier – Some bags are bland right from the get-go and you are concerned that it may not be feminine enough for whatever event you are attending. Sometimes a bag may not be feminine enough for daily activities, so find a piece of jewelry that matches the bag and affix it to the handbag. This can be a necklace with jewels or brightly colored pendants that you don’t normally wear. This will add a whole new dimension to the look of your bag.
Texture Adds Style – A lot of handbags follow the same general format, especially if they are meant for general use. The normal handbag is somewhere in between a clutch and a tote in size – leaving you with little room to add elements. Think about using scarves as an addition to your purse, which can add volume and huge amounts of depth to an otherwise bland handbag.
Try New Styles – If you fancy yourself a more creative type who is willing to take chances, you may want to permanently add pieces to your handbags after a few successful tries with a pendant or some jewelry. Make these new parts of your bag permanent with hot glue, but be careful – don’t use too much. You want people to wonder where you got such an awesome bag!
