Dear Miss Festive,
It’s finally party season, so let’s put some effort into looking more charming and polished for these rather difficult times. Accessories can really give your morale a boost, and also complete your outfit of the day – or the evening. And no one accessory is more important than The Bag, for completing this task.
The perfect evening bag can transform you into a diva. On the other hand, the wrong bag can throw your look off, causing a shadow of discomfort to haunt you throughout the evening. You wouldn’t want that during a Christmas cocktail or a supper party. Here are some simple style tips to save you from a handbag malfunction.
Pay attention to the colours, patterns and textures. Simple, solid bags in vibrant colours draw positive attention, while neutral and soothing colours simply complement the outfit.
ABARA’s Bow Bag Mini is our little bag with a huge glamour - equal parts chic, equal parts cute. The Bow Bag mini is our signature bag that has bold, jewel-like colours and a precious croco finish. It is the very first bag that ABARA launched, featuring our distinct signature bow flap design. Cradle it by its top handle for a feminine look or simply clutch it in the manner of a clutch bag. Its bold and graphic simplicity will complement a monotone dress with minimalist lines or even a floaty dress with frills to flutter.
In life as in dressing up, size matters when it comes to picking the perfect evening bag. For a petite person, a smaller clutch works better than a longer, wider or bigger clutch which would be better suited to a taller person. ABARA’s Bow Accordion Mini in Himalya Crocodile leather are really little jewels for the little dresses, and it’s unexpectedly roomy so you can carry all your evening essentials like your lipstick, wet wipes and even an extra pair of earrings in case you feel bored.
Pick a bag that's not only stylish but also utilitarian and functional. A versatile leather bag or sling may be suitable in work settings but can also take you into dinners and cocktail parties. A classic bag like ABARA’s Tr’Apeze Bag in croco, a top handle bag with a modern, smart-formal silhouette is unexpectedly elegant for day and play. Featuring our signature custom made 18K gold ‘A’ logo as a decorative focus, this will go perfectly with a smart pants suit or a little black dress.
We leave you with our final tip – which is to pick a handbag that makes you feel confident and beautiful. It's important that each element of your outfit reflects a part of your authentic self and feels comfortable to wear.
