Is Buying A Designer Handbag Or Purse Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

Handbags from famous designers are made in a large variety of designs and styles that allow women who buy them to express their individual fashion sense. Each woman can find a designer bag that ranges from the traditional handbags to the amazing romantic handbags of the stars. But designer bags also have the cost factor to them. They cost much more than a purse at a local thrift shop. So we have to ask ourselves, do you get what you pay for?

It's obvious that most people today want to make sure their hard earned money is used wisely. They need to know if a Coach handbag is worth the expanse. Is going to last? And the answer that question is yes, they are. And why do we say that?

Now it is true that you're also going to pay for the name on the handbag. But you should also realize you will pay for the quality in a brand-name product. The best bags made by Alan Stuart or Sondra Roberts use only the very best leathers.

Here is a good thing to know, top leather handbags have a fine lining material as well. The cheaper products will not have that. Makers of cheap products are always looking to lower the costs. And so they use a lower grade linings and even lower grade hardware such as the clasp. You're wasting your money. Top full grain leather's come from top grade hides and have no imperfections. This natural grain is extremely durable. It simply does not wear out and over years of use, it darkens to its full beautiful patina in various stages. Full-grained handbags are often made from the skins of young cattle and are highly sought after due to their fine quality and smooth texture.

So is it worth it to purchase a purse or handbag made by Sydney Love or Franco Sarto? Yes, you will. You will be acquiring a quality product that will finish off your outfit perfectly.

Dependant on the Haute Couture design house and the garment, the cost of a couture item runs from about �10,000 to �40,000 and often beyond that figure. A Chanel couture suit for example in 2002 might have cost �20,000. By mid 2004 an evening frock cost �50,000. If you are not rich it's hard for an individual to understand why the price is so high, but it's for service, workmanship, originality of a unique design and superb materials of the finest quality.
