ShoeDazzle is a fashion portal managed by fashion stylists. The result of the creative collaboration between the stylists: a website filled with different styles of bags, shoes, and accessories that will help you define your personal style.

We think the bags from ShoeDazzle are even nicer than the bags from the Kardashian Kollections, especially since they are more affordable.

This new bag that we found at the site does not look cheap at all. It has a nice versatile color and a style that will allow you to carry it to different places, from day to night.

When you visit ShoeDazzle, you’ll find styling tips for the bag, so you might want to sign-up for your own account with the fashion portal.

By now, we must’ve already gotten the message across how much we love woven handbags and purses here on our blog. But maybe it’s time to explain why exactly we’re so crazy about them. Why woven handbags? Why not knit, quilted or even leather handbags?

Aside from being big fans of woven textures (or just about anything woven, in fact), we specifically love woven handbags for the plain and simple reason that they will never go out of style. The woven style on handbags will always be in fashion. And here are 5 great reasons why:

1. Weaving is a classic

We wrote in our About page that the very first woven bag apeared sometime in the late 17th Century. But as you may know, weaving has been used in history even way before that (think as far as 2.6 million years ago). Weaving has undergone the most rigorous, most thorough and most reliable test of endurance there is: time. If the art of weaving isn’t considered a classic, then we don’t know what is.

Put the art of weaving on a handbag and you’ve got yourself one style, age and time transcending accessory.

2. Woven handbags are versatile

Because of the different types of weaves and different kinds of materials that can be used for a woven handbag, it is one of the most versatile accessories there is.

Use twill plaiting and raffia for a tote and you’ve got yourself a woven handbag ready for a day at the beach. Use the popular basket weave on commonplace leather material and you’ll end up with a gorgeous for-everyday tote. Use an intricate weave pattern on a shiny satin fabric and you’ll have a lovely little clutch ready for a night on the town.

With so many combinations, so many techniques and so many ways, you can see why designers love to use weaving on handbags. Even Bottega Venetta has decided to use a woven pattern as their signature instead of brandishing their logo on every single on of their products.

3. Woven handbags mix and match with almost anything

The fact that woven handbags are so versatile also makes them easy to mix and match with virtually almost anything in your closet. Heading to work? Take a woven satchel like the Burberry Prorsum Christie satchel in the above picture with you. Got a hot date? Tuck a tiny woven clutch like the Bottega Veneta mini knot clutch under your arm.

You can create pretty much any type of look with a woven handbag. And because they are woven, they instantly add an interesting texture to any outfit. We also think that woven handbags can be worn year-round. Depending on the style of course, woven handbags can be used whether it be spring, summer, winter or fall.

4. Woven handbags only get better with age

We love our woven handbags because the older they get, the better they look. The weaving settles in the more and more we use them. They fall into their shape, almost like they have a life of their own.

We’re waxing poetic at this point so we should say that woven handbags get better with age if they’re well taken care of. But then again, there are woven handbags that look better when they show signs of wear. Take a raffia or a straw tote for example — those things become softer, get more character and somehow even become roomier the more and more you use them.

5. Woven handbags are beautiful to look at

Lastly, designers will continue using weaving techniques for handbags simply because they’re beautiful to look at. They’re beautiful not in a trendy, of-the-moment, must-have-now way, but in a classic, last-forever kind of way.

There you have it, the 5 reasons why woven handbags will never go out style. If you’ve got one or a whole collection of woven handbags, hold on to them, keep them and take care of them. Cherish them to the point of purchasing them an engagement ring at 77diamonds or at Tiffany’s because like a faithful partner, they will stay with you for years to come.
