I know this blog is called The Bag Freak, and I do lust over high-end designer bags, but a lot of the bags I actually own are in the lower-end price point, and more often than not, from the great British high-street. If the bag shape and/or colour is timeless I think designer is definitely the way to go, however a lot of the time bag trends only last a few seasons, so saving your money for something classic and buying a cheaper trend-lead bag is a good idea.

I’ve rounded up a few of my picks from good ol’ ASOS below.

2. River Island Velvet Embroidered Structured Tote Bag, £45

5. Fiorelli Anouk Mini Grey Backpack, £55
6. Glamorous Foldover Backpack With Stitch Detail, £30
