Chic & Affordable Rennes le Château Bags

To continue our Fall handbag exploration, I thought I’d check out what cute bags I could find in purple and grey at Etsy. It wasn’t hard to find Rennes Le Chateau the Etsy shop maintained by Julia Kirsten.  I was struck at how simple her handbag designs were yet they are stylish too.

If you love big bags, about 15″H x 17″W x 3″D big, or need a stylish and versatile bag that will hold just about everything you can throw into it, the Annie Leather Tote Bag ($200) is a fantastic choice.  This would be wonderful to use for travel, as a carry on bag or even as a bookbag.  It’s made out of soft cow hide leather that’s been dyed this amazing shade of purple.  The overall design is simple but most classic bags are.

Another, smaller, version of the bag above is this bag called the Gretel Leather Tote ($180), shown here in Slate Grey. A beautiful colour that’ll go with just about any outfit. It measures 13″H x 16″W x 3″D so it’s still quite roomy but it won’t overwhelm those of smaller stature.

Browsing through the Rennes le Chateau Etsy store, there are other bag styles, small pouches and clutches. If you want to invest in a bag that’s handmade and a true ‘go with anything’ bag, check out the Rennes le Chateau Etsy store.
