Why Do You Covet A Designer Handbag?

Designer handbags are a must-have fashion accessory for any woman's wardrobe

, but why? What could possibly possess a perfectly sane woman, being of sound mind and body, to spend hundreds of dollars on something that at its heart exists to hold "stuff"?

After all handbags exist to hold miscellaneous stuff some of which is useful, some not.

Authentic designer handbags are different from any other bag, not only because of their quality and design, but also because of their status value. Most bags from high-end designers are hand made from the finest leather in the world. They aren't produced in mass production facilities but are built in low-quantity, high-quality production facilities. The low volume of handbags produced provides exclusivity which, in turn, offers the bearer a status symbol that wouldn't have been an option otherwise.

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.

Besides the high quality of these handbags, they endow the carrier with status and an air of prestige. When someone observes a woman carrying such a bag, they will generally try to sneak a peak to see who the designer is or play a game with themselves called "guess the designer." They get it that the bag in question is one of the highest quality and they start wondering seriously how they might get such an awesome accessory of their very own. This leads us to the next point: Resale 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.

If 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 fakes, manufacturers have gotten better at making bags that are hard to distinguish from an authentic bag. One way to tell if your bag is authentic is the leather itself. High end leather is creamy at the touch. You will not see any marks or bumps on the leather of an authentic bag. All of the metal on the bag will have the brand name stamped on it. The fabric in the interior of the bag will have the logo on it and most bags have a certificate of authenticity with a hologram stamp.

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