If there is one accessory, that we
can all agree makes or breaks a style or look, it will have to be the handbag.
The perfect match between being a style statement and an item of utility, a
handbag certainly is the final finishing touch to an outfit. While styling one
for an outfit is sometimes as simple as matching the shade (or contrasting it) with
your clothes, it certainly is a lot more difficult when you are out there
buying one to add to your collection. And given the vast plethora of choices
available to us in stores and online stores, it has become all the more
difficult to find one that we are sure we like.
Because of their versatility,
handbags are considered to be investments rather than purchases. Due to the
great care and attention with which they are made, and their comparatively
infrequent use, handbags are often assumed to last for many years. While there
are many characteristics that good women’s designer handbags generally have, it is also important
to base our judgement not just on what they look like, but also on how
comfortable they feel, how easy to carry around they are, and how well they
suit us. If there were a checklist of things to consider when buying a handbag,
it would possibly be endless. And that’s why we have done our homework and
compiled a list of the basics that you need to keep in mind to find the ideal women's designer handbag for you. To
know more, keep reading.
Style and Look: The style and look of your handbag should
align with the occasion for which it is intended, or for your dressing style.
The basic rules that apply are that clean minimal pieces are perfect for smart
formals or semi-formal occasions, while decorative or ethnic looking pieces are
great for casual outings. Muted colours go quite well with minimal looking
pieces and can be styled with a wide variety of outfits, while vibrant colours
are usually very dress-specific and should be chosen with care.
Size: Your ideal handbag’s size depends on the kind of use
that you will expect from it, as well as how you style it. If you are traveling
in a personal vehicle, then on most days, you can get by with a small to medium
sized purse or clutch, but if your commute is mostly by public transport or
walking, then you most probably depend on your handbag to carry most of your
stuff. If so, then your handbag should be large enough to accommodate your
personal items. Remember, the ideal handbag should complement your body, not
clash with it. If you are a petite person, an oversized bag can make you appear
overwhelmed whereas if you are more towards the plus size, a tiny bag will make
you appear mismatched. If your bag is a shoulder sling type, then it can be large,
but if it is a handheld type, it is best to keep it small to medium sized.
Material: Handbags today are available in a wide range of materials. From simple
looking canvas and denim to the most plush leather and suede. Although nothing
beats a handmade leather handbag, when it
comes to buying a product that needs to last, many brands are experimenting
with sustainable materials to create the finest luxury vegan handbags that are just
as good. Luxury vegan handbags also
make for excellent gift ideas for vegans who are
conscious of cruelty-free products. Leather or vegan-leather handbags can be
found in muted tones or shiny finishes, and are sure to last long.
Number of Pockets: What use are women’s designer handbags if they don’t fulfil the one objective
they are made for? Carry Stuff! Your ideal handbag is far from ideal if it
doesn’t have enough pockets to carry your personal items. From dedicated
holders to carry all your credit cards and to small pockets to carry change, to
outer pockets to carry anything that needs to be accessed swiftly, your handbag
shouldn’t be scrunched when it comes to space.
Although the list of things to
remember when looking for a good handbag is extensive and can be potentially
unending, we strongly advocate that what looks and feels right to you, works
for you. After all, fashion is all about self-expression, and the only way to
do that is to adorn yourself the way you want to be.
