5 ‘Must – Have’ Handbags for Every Woman
It’s true that a handbag is perhaps, a woman’s last secret place. It is where we store items that can range between everyday indispensables to intensely personal in terms of definition. Across various cultures and along different timelines, a woman’s handbag has been a subject of great interest. And for good reason! If you really think about it, it’s not just the contents of the handbag that induce a sense of wonderment, it’s the fact that it reflects a woman’s personal style, and is a window to her inner fashionista’s soul, if you will. You think that’s stretching it a notch? Go ahead, ask any woman if she would trade her favourite handbag for anything else. The most likely response to that would be a firm and fashionable NO and this is because they are so much more than just vessels for carrying essentials—the right one can pull your entire look together and make a strong style statement – announce to the world that you’re here to make a mark. Who’d want to let go of that?
Most of us have at least a couple of different handbags in our closets and like shoes, each serves its own purpose, dresses an outfit up or down, and speaks to the wearer’s individual style. Today, we have so many different types of handbags to choose from (again, we’re not complaining) So here we are, with a list of must-have closet essentials that would complement your various looks and never let you down. Read on for our guide to the five different types of purses that are must-haves for any wardrobe to get you style ready for any occasion.

Shoulder bags are usually just associated with everyday casual and professional situations, but our collection of chic and intricately designed shoulder bags can be adapted to all kinds of outfits and settings. Our line-up of shoulder bags is quirky, uncomplicated, and uniquely stylized to suit the purpose of functionality as well as accentuate your unique personality.

It’s a perfect option for women who simply cannot be bothered about switching handbags every time they step out. Swarang totes are constructed from a durable, casual canvas fabric to structured, high quality materials like genuine leather, making them perfectly suited for your shopping sprees or last-minute outings.

Some of our sling bags are small, discreet, and the perfect size for carrying a mobile, a debit card, ID, lipstick, keys, and some cash for when you don’t want to be bogged down with non-necessities, such as an evening hopping from one location to the next, a weekend festival, or a quick walk or errand. Others are intricately designed, luxurious leather pieces that can easily be passed down as heirlooms, depending on how well you maintain them of course! (Link to blog ‘how to treat your bags right)
