Bags are a Women’s Best Friend

Friday, 17 April 2015

When it comes to understanding why a handbag is so important to a woman, men have always been at something of a loss.  Rather than considering the contents to be valuable and essential, men have traditionally dismissed most items as unnecessary for everyday life.  But now a female judge in the UK has leapt to the defence of the humble handbag, after a barrister suggested having one stolen was merely a crime of "inconvenience".
Dismissing his claims, Her Honour Judge Zoe Smith, said the victim was often left suffering from stress, anxiety and fear, adding that the crime should not be trivialised.

8 Reasons Women Put So Much Stuff in their Bags

The one thing I share with womenfolk worldwide is the tendency to put a tonne of unnecessary items in my handbag.  I used to be one of those women who’d only buy those ridiculously large tote bags, because well they could fit every and anything.  Now, when you compare this female habit of bag stuffing to that of our male counterparts, who simply carry a wallet, it really makes you wonder what about our brain wiring could cause such different behaviour. Here are the 8 reasons, Do you agree with them?


1. Women like having things they don’t need 
2. They also like having important things at their fingertips 
3. Just in case they need something, it’s there 
4. Just in case the just in case stuff doesn’t work 
5. They’re messy and disorganised 
6. They never know when they need to save the world
7. To fill the space so it won’t look empty
8. It keeps them sleek, and hides flaws


A woman’s handbag is a fashion statement. It’s an extension of her personality and sense (or lack) of style. Regardless, she knows that some spaces must be filled, because it’s not necessarily about functionality. Stuffing your bag is about completing ‘the look’.

Here at Besaz Boutique we have different types of bags for different types of styles and budgets.  Take a look at these 3 bags currently available to buy from our website:

Nigerian Fashion Week

Friday, 16 January 2015

New York, London, Milan and Paris - The four major Fashion Capitals as we once knew it, but things are changing. 

Major city's such as Mumbai, Poland, Sao Paulo and Singapore now all hold their own fashion weeks through out the year including Nigeria which comes under African Fashion Week along with Cape Town, Congo, Nairobi and Swahili to name a few. 


This year Nigerian Fashion Week is set to be held in May at the Eko Hotel in Lagos. A chance for African designers to showcase and receive support for their collections which they are no doubt working on endlessly whilst you are reading this, and if last year is anything to go by then we can't wait. 

In 2014, highlights came from Aama A La Mode, Aweyan and Daviva to name a few. 

Aama A La Mode - AFWN 2014

Aweyan - AFWN 2014

Daviva - AFWN 2014 
Africa Fashion Week Nigeria or AFWN as it is also known, is now so popular that it takes their shows internationally to London and New York so a greater audience can view its talents. 

AFWN believes in emerging talents and providing a visual platform for them to perform who would not otherwise have the means to gather national and even international attention. Not only are they keen to encourage new talent, they also have the backing and support of already established African designers who work together continuously and tirelessly on the growth of African Fashion, an industry we are proud to support and very much look forward to seeing more of.
