Matches Fashion and Net a Porter Sale: Best Bag Buy

Although I'm a passionate advocate for pre-owned designer bag, as I think that they offer incredible value for money, I can definitely appreciate the draw of seasonal sales. The discounts can be up to 50%, suddenly making current/last season styles less of a pipe dream and a much more affordable reality. Two very popular luxury websites which offer these seasonal sales are Net-a-Porter and Matches Fashion - both of which currently offer a huge array of discounted handbags. 

I've scoured both sites and picked some of my favourite bags from their  respective sales. I've taken into consideration popular brands, styles and shapes, as well as the degree of discount being offered. The first six bags featured are all from Net a Porter, and the following nine bags are all from Matches Fashion. All the images featured in my blog post are not my own and have been taken Net-a-Porter.com or MatchesFashion.com.
