Back by popular demand is the High-Low Handbag game with the fabulous, Moe Kelso! 

Watch this segment in Episode 143.

A great handbag can be the cherry on top of that perfect look, bringing all of your elements together.  A viewer favourite, the High-Low Handbag game illustrates that price shouldn't direct you when looking for that perfect bag to add to your wardrobe - the boys (and audience) were stumped on more than one bag!  Use the money saved from your smart choice for that vacation you've been dreaming of!

Pair #1- The Utility Bag

A great utility bag can't
be beat when you're on the go! Not only for form, the multi-pockets on the front of this bag are great for holding your make-up, phone, and other essentials. 

Where to get it: 
Red Utility Bag Zellers $39.95 (on sale for $15.00) 
Grey Utility Bag Banana Republic $325.00


Pair #2 - The Fashion Bag

The devil is in the details. You can identify the difference between the high and low bag by looking at details like: hardware, studding, buckles, stitching, etc...  Cheat the high-end look by going for a bag with impactful details - i.e. a large buckle or beautiful stitch details.

Where to get it:
Studded Bag Nine West $150.00
Buckle Detail Bag Suzy Shier $25.00

Pair #3 - The Dressy Bag

The dressy bag is great to keep at your desk, or even in your glove compartment for a "presto chango" - transitioning your ensemble from day to night! The right accessories set the tone for your overall look, and add visual interest to any outfit.  The money you spend on your dressy bag can be high or low, depending on your budget or need for the bag.

Where to get it:
Quilted bag Zellers $19.99
Buckle front bag The Bay $450.00


Pair #4 - The Ladylike Bag

A perennial classic, the ladylike bag harkens back to the 60s - made recently popular by AMC's Mad Men.  This structured bag adds a feminine touch to any outfit, whether you're stepping out of the office for lunch, or for a dinner out on the town!

Where to get it:
Red Key lock Bag Town Shoes $158.00

Black Doctor's Bag Davids $4995.00

Pair #5 - The Trend Bag

Carrying a trend bag is a great way to bring a classic or even outdated look into the present.  The key is to not mix too many trends, and keep your focus limited to that trend piece on your arm.  The trend bag is a great chance to get inspired from high-end bags featured in your local boutique, high-end department store, or celebrity blog - then grab that look for a fraction of the cost (unless, of course you can afford the real deal - then more power to you babe!). 

Where to get it:
Teal Ruffle Detail Bag Winners $59.95
Rose Petal Bag Davids $1795.00

Pair #6 - The Tote Bag

Just as functional as the utility bag - the tote bag is the perfect carryall for the girl on the go!  It doesn't matter how disorganized and messy it is (or you are!) on the inside, this bag hides all sins and keeps it looking clean and simple.

Where to get it:
Felt bag Joe Fresh $16.00
Canvas and snakeskin bag Tory Burch $298.00

Pair #7 - The Clutch

There was resounding support for the "low" $40 clutch from the audience on this week's show - which goes to show that expensive isn't always better!  Both bags serve the same purpose, and depending on the events and venues you frequent, you may want to opt for the synthetic choice - which wipes clean in one swipe!

Where to get it:
Animal Embossed Clutch The Bay $40.00
Snakeskin Clutch Eleven Boutique $820.00

Pair #8 - The Weekender

The weekender bag holds all your travel essentials for that weekend away at the cottage and also serves as an excellent carry on when traveling.  This may be another great opportunity to save, as you will likely want to put it on the floor and use it comfortably without any fear of mishandling a $4000 bag.  When buying a weekender, do look out for a well-made bag that can stand the test of travel.

Where to get it:
Patent Weekender Winners $39.99
Cocoon Weekender Chanel $3400.00
