Chains as straps aren't always a hot trend in handbags, but they are right now! Baghaus has several bags for sale that feature elegant and trendy chains. Some are even detachable, making the bag more versatile! Here is a trip into a fashionista's version of rope:
Buckle Evening Clutch - $43.20
This Buckle Evening Clutch is elegant and sophisticated with a delicate chain strap. With the croc-embossed leatherette and buckle front, you can't go wrong with this nighttime bag.
Amelie Chain Satchel - $46.80
If we are talking chains, we can't leave out mention of our popular Amelie Croc Print Chain Satchel. Not only are the double-rolled straps partially made of chain but there is a long and elegant chain with an o-ring at the bottom that gives this bag a unique touch.
Chain Satchel - $46.80
You can't get more straight-forward with chain bags as something called the Chain Satchel. The chain is detachable, making it easy to sport with the carry handles. Timeless and beautiful, this frame bag is available in black, bronze, brown or tan.
Classic Madison Mini - $31.50
If you want classic, it doesn't get any better than our Classic Madison Mini. Not only is the leatherette quilted, but the chain strap combines to remind us of one of our favorite designers, Chanel.
Logo Clear Tote - $28.00
Chains don't have to be just about shoulder straps. This Logo Clear Tote has a synthetic leather handle with the chain as the accessory instead of the strap.
Baghaus Spy Bag $49.99
You have seen the Spy Bag-inspired totes that Baghaus has made. We did so because we absolutely love the Fendi Spy bag, and we know that you do, too. Like most "It Bags" that haven't lost too much steam, Fendi has decided to give the Spy bag a little update.
Unfortunately, the updated Spy bag is a complete eyesore.
We don't care how much of a status symbol this bag may be, we wouldn't buy it. It is way too flashy for our taste, to the point of being tacky. If you are going to spend thousands of dollars on a Fendi, do you want one that looks tacky? And not only that, it looks fake, because it just does not seem like something Fendi would put out.
We could be wrong. Maybe it will be a big hit. But we wouldn't hold our breath. We will stick to the Baghaus-inspired versions and be perfectly happy without the glitter glam parade of the sequined one you see pictured here.
Agelessness. This is a concept that most of us wish we could not only understand but represent. For if we were ageless, we could look 30 even when we are 40, and hopefully feel like it, too.
Unfortunately, the fountain of youth is just a fantasy, and we will eventually age. That being said, one of the things we love about fashion is that there are some genuinely timeless looks that no matter how old they get, truly do feel ageless.
We can say the same about some of the bags we sell here at Baghaus. No matter how many seasons have passed since their introduction, they seem to only get better (and in some cases more popular) with age. The Stam inspired by Marc Jacobs comes in both the classic quilted version, available in six colors and a limited edition exclusive that you will only find at Baghaus.
The Spy bags inspired by Fendi keep selling so well, we have to keep expanding our line. Now in medium and large sizes, the Baghaus Spy bag in various shades of gray, white, cream, brown and black, with a patterned Spy to boot!
And last but not least, what love note about our timeless bestsellers would be complete without mention of the Paddington bag inspired by Chloe. In fact, our shoppers love the Paddington so much, we have a brand-new limited edition version that is made only from the finest materials and worth every penny of the $52.99 they cost, especially when compared to the $2,000 Chloe price tag. Choose from four different colors to compliment anything in your wardrobe, and give it that ageless look we so desire with almost everything else in life.
Fendi makes a lot of great items, but our favorite by far is their handbag collection. From clutches to totes and everything in between, they make some beautiful bags. Though most of them are in classic colors and shapes, a few from each collection always stand out as being somewhat uncharacteristic of the Fendi aesthetic – which just makes us love them even more.
A bargain steal @ $1,580…pause…NOT!
One such example is a few of the logo totes and bowler totes that have come out in recent collections. The Spring/Summer line for example has one bag that looks like it went through a Grateful Dead revival tour, pure tie dye. Another is made out of a quilted material rarely seen on a Fendi purse.
Though they are gorgeous and would look great on our shoulders, the price is not so great. Just one of these Fendi logo totes would set you back anywhere from $720 to just over $2,000, depending on the materials used and the size of the bag.
That is where Baghaus comes in with our inspired version of the Fendi logo tote.
The Baghaus Logo Clear Tote - $52.99
We have come up with a logo that resembles the iconic F-logo used by the beloved Fendi and put it on our new bags that are made of see-through plastic material. They also have a 6.5 inch handle drop and a small chain that looks like a carpenter's wallet chain attached on the side. At $52.99 you can clearly see what a great deal it is compared to the original.
The Fendi Selleria via eluxury.com - $1,410.00
There used to be a time when the price tag on your car, the size of your house or how many vacations you took per year was the standard against which your success was judged. Status symbols like houses with movie theaters and $100,000 cars were all the rage. Like so many things, people got bored of the same old status symbols and started finding other things to use instead. Handbags quickly became one of those symbols.
The Baghaus Selleria @ $52.99
Nowadays, $100,000 cars won't cut it – you have to have a $100,000 purse. This may seem excessive but with bags regularly costing $10,000 and more flying off the shelves, this phenomenon shows no signs of stopping.
Fendi, beloved by fashionistas the world over, has introduced a new silver Selleria bag that costs up to $38,000, depending on the materials used. The one pictured at the very top costs a mere $1410, a pittance in comparison.
This pittance still out of your league? You can look like you spent a grand on your bag when you carry the Baghaus version inspired by the Selleria. With a six inch handle drop draped in faux crock and a high quality quilted pattern that is all the rage, this bag will be in your closet for many seasons to come.
"Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places."
Jessica Simpson and boyfriend John Mayer Edward Scissorhands were recently spotted lunching it in West Hollywood over the weekend. Hmmm…
As much as we love John for his music, this is just one celebrity couple we can't endorse. We tried, but we just can't. More on John Mayer vs. Fendi Bag
