Are Designer Handbags And Purses Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

Many women today work hard to create a personal fashion style in their appearance. And one of the ways to finish off a fashionable ensemble is a great handbag by a designer like Franco Sarto or Roxy. But one of the worries is the money you have to pay to buy one. Are you getting value for your money?

If money is not an issue, then the question is mute. But if you want to make sure you get value for your money you want to be confident that purse by Judith Leiber is worth it. Well, the good news is that most designer handbags are made from the very best material, usually leather. Leathers will give your handbag a great appearance and will last a long time as leather has excellent wind resistance and abrasion to the elements. Fine leathers also have the additional quality of suppleness. If you handle a handbag and hear the leather crack... it is low-grade leather. Avoid it!

The answer is - designer bag or purse these days are made from high-grade materials. A purse by Hermes will normally only use leather that is top grade, that is long-lasting, supple and very beautiful in appearance. So, although you will be paying for the name you will also be getting a top quality And how can you be definitely sure?

Here is a good thing to know, top leather handbags have a fine lining material as well. Cheap leather bags will not have that feature. Manufacturers of the cheaper products are trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. And so they use a lower grade linings and even lower grade hardware such as the clasp. You're wasting your money. Full grain leather products are made from top grade natural hides without imperfections. These top grain leather's are extremely durable. It is long-lasting and eventually will develope a rich patina that increases in beauty. Full-grained handbags are usually created from the hides of young cattle and are prized for their smooth texture and fine quality.

In conclusion, you may pay a lot for a handbag by Versace or Dooney and Bourke but what you are buying is a handbag of the finest quality that will give you pleasure for many years. Even if you need to save for a bit of time, the designer handbag is a wise investment.
