 1) PurseBlog

PurseBlog has become the numero uno go-to source for all things related to designer bags. For the readers’ ease, the blog is broken up into three main sections. There’s the ‘Guides’ section which details out the how-tos for a wide spectrum of audiences; from helping the handbag virgins to choose their first designer bags to educating more-seasoned handbag connoisseurs on how to get the Hermès sales associates to let you buy a Birkin at their boutiques.

Then there’s the ‘Celebrities’ section which lets feeds you the latest bags the hottest A-listers are carrying around Hollywood, where to get the bags, and how to create and emulate a similar style. There is also the ‘Purseforum’ section, where you can exchange thoughts and tips with other like-minded handbag lovers.

The blog was the brainchild of a duo, Vladimir Dusil and Meaghan Mahoney, who started documenting their love for designer bags back in 2005. They manage to grow their followers organically thanks to the high-input content they put out consistently over the years. Now, millions of devoted fashionistas tune in to the blog every month and the duo now enjoys the perks of having designer bags sent to their doorsteps to be reviewed.

With that kind of star treatment, you can be assured that you are only served with the best, first-hand information on designer bags from PurseBlog!

2) BagSnob

For those who appreciate some humor, you are going to love the honest reviews of bags at BagSnob. Let’s be honest, sometimes, certain designers bags are only meant to be kept on the runway as they are too absurd to be schlepped around while doing grocery shopping. The founders of BagSnob, Tina Craig and Kelly Cook, are not afraid to say it as it is, much to the annoyance of some retailers.

Both of them still regularly blog on the site even when the blog-turned-business has a team of 10 now. Tina Craig, who acts as the ambassador of the brand, has acted as a designer and stylist for a string of big name brands such as Valentino, Neiman Marcus, Dior, Cartier, to name a few. Having aligned forces with heavyweights in the handbag designer sphere, you can expect insider information on BagSnob. They have expanded the blog to include beauty, lifestyle and travel sections as well to provide their readers with an all-round luxurious experience!

3) The Bag Hag Diaries

Launched in 2005 by handbag enthusiast Ingrid Chau-Go, she is proof that our love for fabulous purses may lead us to great heights, not just to a paltry bank balance. She penned her first article during a heated debate she was having with her inner voice on a very tricky question we all can relate to: whether to buy a limited edition Louis Vuitton bag or a couch for the home.

If you prefer an honest yet personal commentary on the latest designer handbags (without being shoved with attempts to sell you products or subscriptions), then The Bag Hag Diaries are for you. Her wits and sometimes self-deprecating humor can be a breath of fresh air. The blog has expanded to include food and travel section as well, and not just that, you can now also enjoy her reviews on the TV screen, as she is now the host of a TV show with the same name.

4) PurseBop

Let’s get serious about handbags by throwing in some math in the picture. Get this: by completing a well-informed purchase of a designer handbag, it can translate into thousands of dollars worth of savings for you!

The experts at PurseBop have done the hard work in crunching the number and presenting them for your convenience under their ‘Handbag Math’ section. You can find out clever ways on how to own your favorite designer bag at a much cheaper price, for instance, by buying it in Paris, instead of in the US. Leaving nothing out, they even cover the VAT (value-added tax) and customs procedures!

Apart from that, they also closely watch the price increase of handbags by different designers and advising you the best time to purchase. You can also find out how much each designer handbag retains its value after purchase and figure out the way to invest your money while adding a new designer bag to your wardrobe collection.

Like the other blogs featured in this article, PurseBop also provides reviews on the latest handbags releases and style guides.

But if you are serious about snagging one or two designer handbags into your personal collection, without busting your budget, this blog is a definite must follow.

5) The Bag Blog

With the blog tagline being ‘a blog all about purses, pocketbooks, bags & what have you, Sara Hyjek shares her passion with her readers. For the fashionistas who prefer the laid-back, girl-next-door style that does not compromise on practicality, this blog is definitely for you. Her reviews particularly pay attention to the functional details of the bag, whether the bag will fit all her stuff (she is also a photographer, which means her bag of choice must be able to carry all her equipment comfortably all day long), how the features of the bag help keep her organized, or even if the bag will last in the rain!

Though she mostly covers high-end designer bags, she also occasionally features great deals at Targets and Old Navy, as well as knockoffs found along New York City’s Canal Street, just for the fun of it.

So there you have it. Whether you are the runaway queen, the rocker chick or the girl-next-door, we have the top 5 blogs to help you in your quest to find the perfect bag, purse, clutch or anything in between, this season!
