Is Buying A Designer Handbag Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

Many women today work hard to create a personal fashion style to the world at large. And one of the ways to finish off a fashionable ensemble is a great handbag by a designer like Brahmin or Puma. But one of the worries is the money they may have to pay to get one. Are you getting value for your money?

If you can easily afford it then money is not a problem. But if you want to make your money stretch the most you want assurance the Burberry purse is worth the money. Well, the good news is that most designer handbags are made from the very best material, usually leather. Leathers will give your handbag a great appearance and will last a long time as leather has an excellent abrasion and wind resistance to it. A fine quality leather is also very supple. If you open a handbag and hear the leather crack... it is low-grade leather. Avoid it!

There is some truth to the oftten heard statement, "you will pay for the name". But it is also true that you're going to pay for quality when you buy a name brand product. Top designer handbags by American Eagle or Kathy Van Zeeland use only the very best leathers.

Want a hint to know what you're getting? Top designer handbags will always have a fine lining material inside. Cheap leather bags will not have that feature. Manufacturers of the cheaper products are trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. Cheaper handbags have low-grade linings and low grade hardware on them. They will wear out and fall apart in no time. Full-grain leather is made from the finest natural hides with no imperfections. These top grain leather's are extremely durable. It is long-lasting 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 will you get full value for your money. When you buy a bag made by Tignanello or Guess? Without a doubt. You will be acquiring a quality product that will make a real fashion statement with your outfit.

Real patent leather is made of fine high quality leather coated with a shiny finish that�s a blend of polyurethane and acrylic. But the term �patent� is also used to describe synthetic leathers made of plastic, polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that have a similar shiny finish. So the first thing to consider is which type of coating it has. Nadine Pouliot, public relations coordinator for the Aldo Group, cautions against home remedies (like sprucing it up with beer or vinegar) and instead suggests investing in quality cleaning products. She recommends trying a gentle foaming cleanser like Leather Lather ($9.99) or Synthetic Spray and Shine ($4.99) for faux leather, both available at Aldo boutiques. Also, bear in mind that a protective spray is not recommended, as it may dull the finish on this already waterproof material.
