It

 

 

 

We are all familiar with the word ‘It-bag’ and we all know what it means when a new season arrives…a new breed of it-bags.  We have had the Louis Vuitton bag almost every season in almost every pattern possible.  We have had the famous Dior saddle bag, Mulberry, Gucci and the classic Chanel bag, which continues to be a favourite year after year. 

 

These it-bags are the most sought after accessories in celebville and have up to a year’s waiting list, which of course by then another bag will be the rage. It is a vicious cycle and only the best survive and get the bag of the moment.  Only the personality of the moment gets priority (although we are not quite sure how Colleen Rooney fits into this but hey good on her!)

So spring has arrived and it is time to find out which bag will be worth more than gold dust, and trust me, they are goooorgeous!
