Ok, maybe actual death is a little dramatic, but today I do have some darn good handbags for you.
It’s been mentioned to me several times over my blogging years that I rarely show handbags in my outfit posts. The reason for that isn’t that I don’t carry one, it’s just that most of the time my handbags are boring and not really worthy of photographing.
On the occasions that I’ve switched out to a fancy handbag, it always shows up in posts. Like this time with a Christmas Bauble bag, or this time with my Vendula lingerie bag, or cocktail clutch.
I love novelty handbags as much as I love novelty prints, and recently I’ve spotted a few online that are really worth sharing!
This is the bag that inspired todays round up when I spotted it last week. This collaboration between Disney and Danielle Nicole made me go a bit weak at the knees. The collection also features Dopey, Tinkerbell, Mrs Potts and Cinderella and is pretty darn amazing.
Vendula are without doubt one of my favourite, go-to places for novelty bags. I have 2 that were gifted to me, and have been swooning over them ever since.
This hot air balloon bag is so fun. I love the vintage style clasp fastening with a practical, cross body, strap so you can keep it on you all evening and show it off properly!
This feels like a much more every day bag. One to take out when you don’t need a massive handbag that has your entire life in it. Which is probably most days, but that doesn’t stop me dragging everything around with me!
Recent back problems have actually started me trying to carry a smaller handbag, and this is perfect for casual days.
This appears, for mysterious reasons, to be in the kids section on BooHoo. I can only assume they are crazy as I see no earthly reason why a mature, sensible, adult woman wouldn’t want to carry her change and credit cards in a handbag shaped like a cupcake.
Right?
It’s so cute! It’s a handbag shaped like a tiny dinosaur! I’m actually contemplating getting this and treating it like a pet. I’ll tuck him in at night and make sure he gets a good view sitting on the table rather than the floor when I take him out at night.
I’ll be honest. When I first saw this one I went “Awesome!”, but the more I look at it, the more those teeth are kinda freaking me out actually.
It’s only £9.99 though, and the TK Maxx website says there are only 4 left. So nab it quick if it doesn’t scare the hell out of you!
Just perfect for Summer days, this wicker pineapple bag comes from Collectif and is currently in the sale.
Last up, and at the top end of the price range, is a bag from one of my favourite handbag designers who started my love affair with novelty bags when I went to her press day back in the early years of blogging.
This doll face bag is a gorgeous design, perfect for hooking over your arm when you want to be smart, but not too grown up.

Cute! x
All these bags are pure perfection! I adore these kind of bags <3 I can't choose which one if my favorite!!
I have the same flipping handbag every day. I switched to a smaller one to see if I could cope for a few weeks and it broke. But now I want to prance around with a different one of these bags on every day! What an excellent selection. I will learn to switch up my handbags goshdarnit, I will! X
Ahh these are all amazing but omg that hot air balloon is so cool!
All so cute! 🙂 But the hot air balloon would lift my mood on any day… 😉
