Why Are Designer Handbags So Appealing?

By David C Marcus


Why is it that a designer handbag is a must addition to every woman's accessory wardrobe? What makes an otherwise rational human being plunk down hundreds of dollars on a bag to hold stuff?

That's it. Just stuff.

An authentic designer bag is apart from any other because of its quality and design. It also surrounds the woman carrying it with an aura of status. Handbags from top designers are generally made from the finest leather found anywhere in the world. These bags are not mass produced in high volume, low quality factories. Designer handbags are made in limited editions adding to their exclusivity, their premium price and their well-known capacity as a status symbol.

The bags are carefully made with each stitch and rivet put in place with extraordinary attention to detail. A designer handbag is always free of noticeable seams of leather poking out in the handles. The interiors of the bags are lined in the best fabric available. These bags are designed to be functional but more than that are designed to serve the purpose of quality and exclusivity.

Aside 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 weren't sure if you wanted to buy a designer handbag, go by a yard sale and look at all of the bags hanging with a $5 sticker on them. You won't find an authentic designer bag hanging in with this group of bags. Why? Like houses, the value of a designer bag increases with age. They become vintage, an investment. Even after wear and use they only lose their value if they are ripped or stained (and even that can be fixed if you can enlist the help of a savvy seamstress used to repairing bags of that particular caliber).

If you take good care of your handbag, you can sell it in a year or two for very close to the original purchase price. You will need to have the bag's certificate of authenticity to convince the buyer of its genuineness. People in the market for designer handbags are a very suspicious lot given the rash of knock-offs on the market. No one will believe a bag is the real deal without that certificate.

Anyone considering buying a designer handbag should give nary a thought to purchasing one of those knock-offs. The phony bag is a dead giveaway to any fashionista worth her salt and she will be taunting you behind your back for daring such a fashion faux pas as sporting a $30.00 handbag pretending that it is a $900.00 Gucci. The real deal is the only kind of fine designer handbag you should consider if you are in the market for one. Actually, the authentic bags have become increasingly popular ever since the deluge of knock-offs hit the market in recent years.

With a zillion fakes on the market, manufacturers have improved their ways of making their bags look like the real deal. A good way to confirm that your bag is indeed the real McCoy lies in the leather itself. There will be no marks or bumps on the leather of the authentic handbag. The metal parts of the bag will have the designer's name on all of them. The interior fabric liner will carry the logo and a good majority of them will have a certificate of authenticity with a hologram stamp accompanying them.

Go out their and find that perfect designer handbag that was made just for you. Good luck.
