Is Buying A Designer Handbag Wasting Money?

By Lee MacRae

Designer handbags and purses today come in many extraordinary styles and designs making it easy for women who buy them to express their individual fashion sense. Designer handbag can be found in many different styles from casual handbags to fabric handbags or contemporary designs. But designer handbags also cost much more than one you find at a small local convenience store. So we have to ask ourselves, are you just buying fashion sense or do you also get value?

If you can easily afford it then money is not a problem. But for those who want to get the most bang for their buck, you want to be confident that handbag or purse by Fendi is worth it. Well, the good news is that most designer handbags are made from the very best material, usually leather. Top grade leathers give products like handbags a fine appearance and a long lasting quality since it has an excellent abrasion and wind resistance to it. Fine leathers also have the additional quality of suppleness. If you handle a handbag and hear the leather make a cracking sound, forget about it!

There is no doubt part of the cost of the designer handbag is the name on the label. But you should also realize you will pay for quality when you buy a name brand product. The best bags made by Hogan or UGG will incorporate only the best leathers on the market.

Want a hint to know what you're getting? Top designer handbags will always have a fine lining material inside. Cheap leather bags will not have that feature. Manufacturers of the cheaper products are trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. As a result, you will find cheaper linings and even cheaper hardware. They will wear out and fall apart in no time. Top full grain leather's come from top grade hides and have no imperfections. Top grain leather's are extremely long wearing. It is extremely durable and over years of use, it darkens to its full beautiful patina in various stages. The skins of young cattle are usually used for full grain handbags and are highly sought after due to their fine quality and smooth texture.

So is it worth it to purchase a leather purse or bag made by Judith Leiber or Prada? Yes, yes, yes! You'll be purchasing a fine quality bag that will finish off your outfit perfectly.

Hints On juicy couture socks

You can make your wardrobe impressive with mix and match jewelry. Shoes depend less on you body shape than you height. Do not buy clothes on impulse. Plan before you buy a blouse or pants. Be somewhat scientific about shopping, consider your body type, and colors. Ask your self some questions;
-Do you have anything you can mix and match with it? Does it match your lifestyle?
-Will it be comfortable, nonchalant, and easy to wear?
-Is it machine wash or dry clean only?
-Will it fit your budget? Is it appropriate?
-Is it a fad, can it be worn more than one season?
-Is it of good quality? Quality counts, it is better to have four or five mix and match out fits of quality, than 8 or 10 'steals.'
