If there is one thing that I can never get enough of it's handbags!! I'm totally obsessed with them and no matter how many I acquire I always feel compelled to add to my collection! From cute clutches to stylish totes, I can't get enough of them and now I'm pleased to announce there is a new kid on the block debuting their first ever handbag collection!

Following on from its fashion debut earlier this year, (you can read my review of the collection HERE) Lidl is getting set to launch its first ever collection of bags, which hit stores on Thursday 9th July! The collection comprises of 11 bags in total, and comes in a range of styles and colours to suit everyone's tastes!

From colourful satchels, to practical basket totes, there is something for everyone and at a price point which everyone can afford, ranging from only £6.99 to £9.99!

What's great about the Esmara handbag collection is that it comprises a true capsule collection of designs and colours, from chic, classic designs, to youthful boho-inspired looks and at such fantastic price points, it means you can stock up on lots of different styles and colours without breaking the bank!

My personal favourite has to be the Esmara black quilted bag, not only because of it's super sleek and chic design but because it perfectly matches my Marc Jacobs quilted iPad handbag case and at only £6.99 it's just too good to resist!

For anyone who wants to add a pop of colour to their ensemble there is the Esmara petrol blue satchel, or for a touch of festival style there is the Esmara tan crossbody bag, both at only £6.99!

Speaking about the launch of Lidl’s debut range of bags, Jasmine O’Brien, PR Manager with Lidl Northern Ireland, said: “We’re very excited to be launching our first collection of ladies’ bags this summer. Since our debut Esmara collection first hit shelves in February, we’ve seen increasing demand for affordable yet trend-inspired fashion. This collection will offer our customers purse-friendly, fashion forward bags without compromising on style. We’re expecting items to fly off the shelves when they go on sale, so we’d advise customers to get down to stores early to snap up a bargain.”

So make sure to head down to your nearest Lidl to snap up this fantastic handbag collection before it sells out, I for one can't wait to add the black quilted handbag to my collection!

So far I've been really impressed with the Esmara range, I've already added their leather look patch leggings, a couple of statement necklaces and even a super stylish, cobalt blue statement watch to my collection, and I look forward to see what else they come up with!
