BAGWATI : Point Lace collab

"Table for three - You, Me and my BAG"

Ladies handbags are not just mere carriers of female possessions. They 're beautiful, elegant and can do wonders for your outfit and confidence. Most women would love to own a warehouse of these in all possible colors and designs but we're not all that blessed. But you can atleast set out to extend your collection as much as you can.

Sonam must be having enough bags to fill an entire room ! Baguettes, satchels, totes , hobo's.....you name it and she has it! Getting confused with what are all these? Lets take a sneak peak to brush ourselves on some Bagwati lingo !

The Baguette

Mmm, Baguettes. Unfortunately, here we're referring to the rectangular bag and not the crispy, toasted 12" long bread.Very functional and utilitarian, the baguette bag occupies a special space in the hearts of working women.

The Bucket

With a long strap and usually an open top, the bucket bag can very definitely be described as  feminine an chic. It is sufficiently roomy and wide enough to encompass all the essentials.

The clutch

Ah, the clutch . An essential part of every woman's wardrobe, the clutch is for the minimalistic woman. With only enough space for credit cards, lipstick, cash and identity, the clutch presents no hassles and is easy to carry around.

The Envelope

Sure to make a style statement on any occasion, the envelope bag is so named because of its flap which folds over much like the flap of an envelope. Alia Bhatt carries an envelope with much ease in the movie Student Of the Year !

The Hobo

The name sure does give away a lot about this bag's personality. But let's not start judging just yet. The hobo bag has a long shoulder strap and a  single, wide compartment that is perfect for a college- going girl to keep all her books in.


The Sling

Casually slung across one shoulder, the sling bag is very outdoorsy and perfect for days when you don't want to be worried about trudging around with a heavy bag. It also gives off a very

 summery , flirty vibe. 

The Miniaudiere

Extremely classy and jazzy, the miniaudiere is smaller that a clutch and usually shimmery, being encased in sequins, precious stones and diamonds. Due to its elegance and the obvious eyeball popping price tag, it is conventionally showcased on nights when limousines are

 rented !

The Satchel

The Satchel bag has always been unfairly classified as a mundane, common place bag with no chic factor. But this is not true. Satchels can be incredibly edgy and trendy when chosen in the right color and paired with the right outfit. It's all about the mix and match !

The Athletic

The name itself is a dead giveaway. The athletic bag is spacious because it is usually stuffed with smelly gym socks and clothes. But now its making a cut through in the wardrobes of fashionistas with slings, hobo and tote styles. Not to forget our yoga bag which is getting a fun makeover day by day !

The Tote

Saving the best for the last,we have the tote bag which is every woman's favourite. Easily the largest kind of bag on the list , the tote is held dear by women worldwide because no matter how stuffed it already is, there's always room to fit in an extra hairbrush or a bottle of vodka. Hey, no one's judging. Your secret's safe in the tote !

Lastly, take good care of your bags and they are sure to make you happy for a long time ! Or you can employ your man to take care of your asset like Farhan Akhtar (seen in pic) in the movie Zindagi Na Milege Doobara !
