Bag Lust: River Island

I don't think I've ever seen a high street transformation quite as impressive as River Island's. They've always had a good shoe selection, but their clothes? Pretty trashy sometimes. And their bags? I think they're the only shop I don't own a bag from. But now? Something happened to River Island and not only are their clothes wonderful flirty and covetable, but their bags are pretty damn lovely too. I find myself in a shop I've never really liked before.



This brown bag is cute. There are a couple of little satchels that still have the River Island touch (check out the lining), but this one has a navy lining. Perfect school style. It's £24.99.


Love the briefcase feel to this bag, but I really like the cross body strap too. It's £32.99.


Really like the art deco style embellishments on this patent navy bag. It's £39.99.

I also really like this one, this one, this one and this one. Impressive turnaround, River Island.

    I've got the purse! Isn't it gorgeous? I've been lusting after a leather satchel for so long... better ensure I'm working on a permanent basis before spending more, though.

    I've always like RI shoes, but you have to hunt to get clothes there. A few years ago I heard someone on Radio 1 say something along the lines of: 'River Island has a great way of making everything really slutty, but doing it really well'.

    Sometimes true? Sometimes, just slutty.
