Art of Buying a Handbag

By Debra Brian Hunt

A handbag can truly order or crash any attire, which is why it is essential to always have a few great ones in your cupboard to pull together with your outfit. With the broad array of options out there, from designer handbags, to knock offs, and the many kinds of colours you can select from, you need a skill in shopping just to get a great bag. Here are some guiding principles to help you out:

1. You can buy a designer handbag, but it will cost you a lot (sometimes in the thousands of dollars) so it is a better idea to look around and get cheaper versions which are usually available for around one tenth the price. They may not look exactly like the designer version, but are great to look at anyhow.

2. Glance at your closet before you go shopping. If you have a closet consisting of just a few colours, you don't want to buy dozens of bags and can instead purchase a few but from higher end stores. These will last you for numerous years due to their advanced superiority.

3. You don't need to worry about matching your shoes and your bag. You need to keep both in the same family, but the colours can be different as long as the outfit looks good that's good enough to go. So look for handbags that will go with more outfits, rather than pick up one in every colour.

4. Leather handbags are very useful to have since they go well with almost everything. You can also get straw or cloth handbags, but remember that they will only go well with slightly casual clothing.

5. Keep an eye on trend when you buy your bag. While it is very trendy these days to have huge bags that you could fit a person in, these may no longer be in style another year from now, so there is no reason in spending thousands of dollars on them. Instead, buy a low-priced version that you can use while they are in style. A good bet is to buy structured bags in darker colours as they will always stay in craze.

6. The class of a handbag is evidently very important. Make sure you look at the line of stitching and the handle to make sure everything is stitched on well, if not you will find yourself with a bag that starts tearing apart after a few uses.

7. The inner colour may not seem like a very essential part of the buying procedure but it is. If you procure a handbag, try and get one with a light coloured inseam since this will make it easier for you to see while you try and hit upon your keys or phone.

In the end, make sure you buy a bag that is not only well made but will go well with your wardrobe. If you are always in athletic clothes, there is no need to buy extremely expensive bags since you will need something a little more durable.
