Why Are Designer Handbags So Appealing?
The authentic designer handbags do differ from other bags in
ways besides their fine quality and design. They also offer status
to the woman carrying the handbag. Bags from haute couture
designers are made by hand from the highest quality leather they
can find anywhere in the world. These are not items of mass
production made in factories that produce low cost, high volume
goods. Designer bags are produced in limited editions making them
exclusive and placing them under the category of status
symbols.Each cut, stitch and rivet is carefully placed in each bag,
which is why you'll notice there are never any seams of leather
sticking out in the handles and the custom silk or satin fabric is
always perfectly sewn in the interior. These are bags designed to
serve a function, but more than that, they're bags designed for the
exclusive purpose of quality.Designer HandbagsAside from impeccable
quality and design, designer handbags also offer a certain status.
When someone sees you carrying an expensive bag, they usually try
to get a peak at the brand. They understand that it's one of the
most amazing bags in the world and it usually spurs them to look
into one themselves, which brings me to the next topic. Resell
value.If you are uncertain about buying that expensive designer
handbag, check out the bags available at the next yard sale you
attend. You will find a table with a bunch of bags each marked
around $5.00. There will not be a designer bag in the lot. The
reason for that is fine handbags like fine wine grow more valuable
with age. Vintage wine and vintage handbags actually are an
investment. Neither of them depreciate. Even if the bag is used and
shows signs of wear, they only lose their value if they are ripped
or stained. Even in those cases, they may still retain their value
if you can find a specialist in the repair of fine leather handbags
to work their magic.Luxury HandbagsIf you take good care of your
bag, you'll be able to sell it a year or so from now and get close
to what you paid for it. Just make sure you don't lose its
certificates of authenticity. The last thing you want to do is find
yourself scrambling after the fact to verify the authenticity of
your bag. Nobody ever actually believes you the first ten
times.Finally, if you are consider purchasing a designer bag, don't
buy a knock-off. Knock-off bags are extremely noticeable to the bag
lover and instead of walking by you and drooling over your bag,
they will walk by and laugh knowing that you're carrying around a
$30 purse pretending that it's a $750 bag. With handbags, authentic
is the only way to go. Authentic bags have become more and more
popular since the knock-offs started to appear in the last few
years.With the flood of pseudo designer bags, manufacturers have
improved their craft of making their fakes more resemble the true
designer handbags in every detail. But one sure giveaway is the
very leather the bag is made of. High end leather is soft and
creamy to the touch. There will be no marks or bumpy areas on the
leather of the real McCoy. Every metal piece on the bag will be
stamped with the designer's name. The interior fabric will not only
be of the highest quality, it will bear the design house logo, and
the vast majority of designer handbags come with a certificate of
authenticity.
