This simple trick will make your bag look like new again

By

Fancy a bag? Always. Need one? Absolutely not. What does? This simple trick that will make your bag feel like new again. Because from now on, you don't need a new bag to still get that new love feeling. Because honestly: most (hi!) of us have enough for now. And how nice: a little twist like this can make all the difference. And that is exactly what this styling hack, tipped to us by our colleague Daniëlle, is all about.

The trick? Change the strap of your bag.

Yes, really. It can be that simple. Replacing the shoulder strap with another strap such as a wider one instead of your current chain, or a leather strap with studs in exchange for your basic suddenly gives your bag a completely new look.

Simple, stylish and super affordable

Zara is where to go for the prettiest loose straps, for a bargain in fact from as little as €12.95. From fabric to dark brown leather dipped in gold studs: the straps can also be personalised for an extra €3. How fun with your own initials? So: before you think you need a new bag, try this simple trick. Chances are your old favourite will suddenly be back at the top of your wishlist. See, and that's what we call saving good money, right?
