5 Handbag Tips


1.  “It’s all about quality and craftsmanship.”
The first rule is the most important to keep in mind when shopping for a bag you’ll carry for the long haul.  You really do get what you pay for when it comes to the quality.  To ensure a lasting investment, seek out fine materials such as leather and crocodile only get better with age.

2.  “Look for a classic shape.”
A handbag is a functional accessory, so you must remember to choose one that really works.  “Are you a clutch woman?”  If so, invest in a classic clutch.  If not, go with a top handle, a shoulder bag or whichever shape suits you best.  After all, the perfect bag isn’t really perfect if you find it too large, too small or too uncomfortable. 

3.  Choose “classic hardware”.
Often, the smallest details – a clasp, a chain – pose the biggest questions when it comes to this decision.  Clarify the matter in one simple sentence:  “Many times in fashion, you’ll find metal finishes that come and go with the trends, but classic silver always looks right, [or] certainly a classic gold detail.”  In other words, think long and hard before spending a mint on bronze or copper or other passing fancies.

4.  Color is key.
“Many times, the color of the moment is just that,” instead gravitate toward bags in shades that will stand the test of time.  Favor black, chocolate, tobacco and natural leather tones, but even bone, navy and “the pop of a brilliant red” can be considered basics. 

5.  “Buy a handbag that you are passionate about.”
Finally, a handbag must not only check all the right boxes in order to qualify for your collection – it must also quicken your pulse.  If you’re truly passionate about the bag the day that you buy it…you will love it forever.
