Ever since I was a young girl, I have been in love with designer handbags. All I can say is that women look so much more distinguished and beautiful with the right designer handbag. I spent a lot of my teenage years clipping pictures of handbags out of magazines and created a collage of all the handbags that I would own someday. I have ate more macaroni and cheese than I needed to to have enough money for my next handbag purchase, but I still have not spent more than $1000 on a handbag yet.
I take some time every weekend to catch up on the latest and newest handbags on the market. Is it me or are they getting more expensive? I thought I had a grasp on how much these designer handbags were worth, but I must have been wrong. I thought I would write about some of the ones that caught my eye because of the price, and the perceived worth of these same items.
If I had to pick my favorite out of all of the hand bags that I looked at, I would have to say that Fendi would be my favorite design house. It seems that even though they are continuously innovating, they can still manage to keep a classic look to their products. Fendi designs some of the most sought after designs in the fashion industry, and the "B.Bag" is the most in-demand handbag in the world. Though some may think that the price tag is a deterrent, others know the value it provides so it is a small price to pay to be the talk of the party.
Another one of my favorites would have to be the Hermes "Birkin" bag! Named after the famed British actress Jane Birkin, they give you the glamour of an actress and catch eyes. They are also one of the most replicated bags, so you need to be careful when shopping for one. They are available through special order only, and their final price is dependant on the materials used. Definitely a must for any woman's collection.
Lastly, the one that I find myself drooling over all the time would be the "Muse" handbag from Yves Saint Laurent. It is very traditional, and yet it calls out to me. After the first time I saw her in the store, I knew that I would have to buy one someday.
Though this has been far from a complete list, the number of handbags out on the market seem to be endless. There are about as many handbags as there are possible outfits - it is like a girl's dream come true.
