If you haven’t learned by now, let me fill you in - I am a [proud] handbag addict. I’ve collected them since around the age of 7. In fact, my mother has a family video of yours truly telling my aunt that I “adore” her handbag and that I’m going to have my mother buy me one just like it. She always teases that I started young and she’s right.

When it comes to style, anything goes for me. My collection is quite eclectic, with bags varying from; casual to designer. There aren’t many handbags that I don’t like. Earlier this week I found out about a lovely little collection of western handbags by AJ’s Western Wear Outfitters. I was impressed with the handbags right away - the details put into them are fabulous. The designer uses both leather and faux leather, along with finishing studs that give them a very cowgirl feel. I know I can’t speak for everyone but for me, there’s usually something that really attracts me to a handbag. For instance, it could be the style, the color, the material or even the purpose it will hold (will it help me organize my contents better.. will it hold everything under the sun, since I tend to pack everything but the kitchen sink). One of the things I really love about many of these bags are their front buckles. They’re perfectly designed to look like belt buckles. Even though the prices, the details and the overall styles of their bags impress me, the buckles are definitely the feature that caught my attention and made me say “Ooh, I want one”.

If you are like me, a handbag lover, or simply are in search of quality, western style handbags - you must have a look see.
