Designer Handbags - Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

The latest in fashion rage is designer handbags. It seems everyone from your step sister to your sister in law wants to be fashionable with a BCBG bag. But since we know designer handbags are usually very expensive, the question that we have to ask is, are we spending our money wisely?

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 sure that Alan Stuart bag is going to last. Well, the good news is manufacturers of designer handbags used top grade material such as 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. A fine quality leather is also very supple. If you open a handbag and hear the leather make a cracking sound, forget about it!

No doubt part of the cost is the name of the designer. But you should also realize you will pay for the quality in a brand-name product. The best bags made by Hobo or Oroton use only the very best leathers.

Here is a hint, fine leather bags have a fine lining. 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. Avoid these like the plague. Top full grain leather's come from top grade hides and have no 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 often made from the skins of young cattle and are prized for their smooth texture and fine quality.

To sum up, even though a handbag by Maschera or Betsey Johnson ,may seem expensive, what you're going to get is a top quality product that will give you pleasure for many years. Buy a designer handbag today.
