Find Your Legend

How to choose your handbag
Although it is a woman’s most important accessory, the handbag comes in many different styles.
Finding the right handbag is a challenge. It should reflect a silhouette and a personality, accompany an active life and fulfil the need for representation.
Here are a few top picks to help you decide which handbag is right for you and how to select it.

Tip number 1 , the handbag size
choosing THE right bag
The handbag is first and foremost a volume and a container.
It would be easy to imagine that large, oversized handbags should be reserved for tall and slender women, while mini handbags are more suitable for smaller women and girls. Wrong!
Some large bags, such as satchels, postmen and tote bags, can adapt to your body type.
They can help a curvy silhouette by drawing attention to the bag’s material or colour. They can also enhance the curve that flatters a figure.
Certain micro-bags, such as minaudière, pouches, clutches and saddle bags, can easily become the main asset of a fashionable silhouette.
Very easy to hold, they can easily become an extension of the body, emphasising a thin wrist, enhancing a shoulder or accentuating the great cut of a jacket.
A well-chosen handbag respects individual needs and becomes the first identifier of your presence.

Tip number 2, be responsible
Prove responsible
In the context of increased awareness of sustainable development, the choice of a handbag can be an important respect for responsible consumption.
Improving our behaviour when choosing a handbag means looking at its manufacturing process and quality level.
Coated canvas bags are a guarantee of solidity, provided they are made in accordance with traditional craftsmanship.
Choosing natural, stable and sustainable materials is the first step towards achieving eco-responsibility goals.
Animal lovers can also remember that leather is a natural material, mostly recycled (for veal, lambskin) from the food industry. Above all, leather is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
So say yes to classic leathers, yes to fancy leathers and even, depending on your point of view, yes to traceable, identified exotic leathers.
From a purely aesthetic point of view, a beautifully crafted leather will, over time (and your caresses), take on a silkier feel, an intriguing patina and a vintage look that will become more pronounced with age.
Natural leathers such as lambskin, calfskin, nappa and certain precious leathers have an unfailing strength.
Certain finishes on leather can make this material more durable: crisping, graining, coating, varnishing or embossing are treatments that not only give leather a stronger touch, but also an innovative, unusual and trendy aspect.
Some iconic bags can become family keepsakes, passed down like talismans. We have seen grandmothers give their favourite bag to their granddaughter. And the granddaughters wear it as a sign of elegance and mutual affection..

Tip number 3, the color
how to choose a handbag color
It is easier choosing a color for a bag than to pick a shade for a garment.
City dwellers favor black. In this case, it is the bag texture as well as its shape and metallic embellishments and parts that can give it some additional charm.
Indeed, even all in all classic crossbody day bags become sublime and cutting-edge, when they are embellished with chains or with high craftsmanship stitching.
Warm colors such as chocolate and natural colors are also great classics. These tones blend very easily with all styles of look.
Beige, taupe and nude often display the most beautiful effect on handbags. They are an eye-catcher when worn with a dark outfit.
Warning ! It is important to watch the vibration of the color beige or a “nude” shades according to your skin tone.
Choosing a strong color like a duck green or a fuchsia and even a red is a real statement, an assertion of oneself: “Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am not carrying everyone’s bag. “
No color is ever imposing itself on yourself because it’s trendy. Select your own!
Orange immediately reveals the energy and vitality you carry within yourself. Powder or even a bubble gum pink give a clue about your sweetness and impertinence.
Sky blue defines you as dreamy; ruby or Ferrari red immediately show your flamboyance.
There is no such thing as a good color. There is only the color that suits you, the color of your aura, which you want to highlight.
To sum up :
- Adapt the size to your needs.
- Choose noble, natural materials.
- Don’t hesitate to assume a strong color.
