We love handbags and often we want to have more to make a collection in our closet. However, while we are becoming lucrative with these accessories, it seems quite often we overlooked the few things that we need to consider when shopping designer handbags. Two of the most important consideration we should take into account are the budget and the level of our interest or love towards handbags. This is a great combination, though. So when shopping for these accessories, you should use both your head and heart.

The Budget

When shopping in the market, you will find tons of beautiful handbags ranging from simple to vintage ones made by popular specialist. Their prices differ wildly so it is important to set yourself a budget. Designers handbags usually come in expensive prices, but you will be lucky if you can pick one in a much lower price. Their prices, however, vary accordingly to the designer, material, desirability and the size of the bag.

When thinking about budgeting, you have to consider any extras you'll be buying, like a purse. For instance, you have already bought a designer handbag which is totally expensive and you want a purse to complement it, however you are pretty unsure about your left budget, so you might then expect of having a cheap purse in an expensive bag. Therefore, you must carefully think how much you can afford and what you really want. As well as the matching extra you might need that can make a good add up to your designer handbag. Consider also to do a bit of research into your favorite designers and much their products cost, and be prepared to adjust your budget accordingly. By doing this, you will save yourself from later frustration when you realize that your budget just won't allow you to get what you want.

Your Level Of Interest

Besides the price, you should always be fair to what you really feel. In the other words, determine the level of your interest and consider choices that are close to your heart. Avoid buying a so-so bag just because that's all you can afford. You can always save money everyday until you are ready to buy your desired designer handbag, a bit of sacrifice won't hurt you after all.

A great tip when deciding which one to buy is consider the bag side by side and for this, you will need a big designer bag selling store. This is the most fun and exciting part of the entire process which you will pick up bags, feeling them and examining their overall feature. You can then line up your choices and compare them each with rest.

Think also on how do you want to use the bag. If you want something you can use everyday, you may consider tote bags or leather bags which are very durable and perfect for regular use. Or if you want to buy something because there is an upcoming special occasion, then clutch and evening bags are your great choices. Determine also the size that will perfectly fit for you. For more special effect, you may consider personalized bags like monogrammed purses, totes, clutches, etc.

Buying a Designer Handbag - 2 Important Things to Consider

Nicola PedleyThe TANO handbags - colors and style that is contemporary and prices of yester years

There are many things to take into consideration when buying a designer handbag, but the two most important must be budget and heart-wrenching love. A strange combination, you might think, but buying a designer handbag must be both a head and heart decision.

Budget
There are thousands of desirable handbags on the market today (plus vintage handbags from specialist shops) and the prices differ wildly so it's important to set yourself a budget. DKNY Handbags usually come in at under GBP200 (US$400), but you'll be lucky if you can pick up a purse in Mulberry for that price. The price of bags rises steadily depending on the designer, bag material, desirability and the size of the bag, the ultimate possibly being the recently launched GBP1 million (US$2 million) platinum bag set with 2,000 diamonds (but if you can afford that you're probably not reading this guide!)

When thinking about a budget you have to consider any extras you'll be buying with the bag, namely a purse. The Mulberry Mabel costs GBP595 (US$1150) but if you want a purse to go with it at GBP250 (US$500) you're suddenly looking at a total spend of GBP845 (US$1650). If you're budget was only GBP600 then you've well and truly blown it (and you can't expect to have a cheap purse in an expensive bag.) So think carefully about how much you can afford and what you want. As well as the matching purse you might need a make-up case or even a beautiful Smythson notebook. It all adds up.

I would recommend a budget of GBP 1,000 (US$2,000), but before you decide do a bit of research into your favorite designers and how much their bags cost, and be prepared to adjust this budget accordingly. Doing the research now will save you frustration later when you realize your budget just won't get you what you want.

Heart-Wrenching Love
Before you even consider buying an expensive bag you have to love it. Don't buy a so-so bag just because it's in your budget - put your money in a savings account and keep adding to it until you can afford the bag you want. Believe me; it will be worth the wait.

The best thing to do when deciding which bag to buy is consider the bags side by side and for this you will need a big designer bag selling department store (this is the fun part.) Pick up the bags, feel them, look inside them. Line up the bags you want and see how they compare to each other. The Chloe is beautiful and you love the pocket on front but the Mulberry is elegant in it's simplicity. Which one really appeals to you?

How do you want to use the bag? Is it for everyday use or special occasions? Do you like a shoulder bag, tote bag or clutch bag? Should it be big or small? If you've got a favorite purse you intend to use put it in to see if it fits. Do the same with a book or your make-up bag, whatever you normally carry around (just take care not to mark the bag in any way?) Does the bag work for you, and how does it compare to other bags?

Now walk away to think about it.

If you find that none of the bags are calling to you just carry on looking - don't waste your money if it isn't the right bag.

If you love a bag but it’s out of your budget carry on saving. A well made designer bag will never go out of fashion. It might not be this season's it bag, but that doesn't matter if you love it.

You love it and it's in budget? Go and buy it and love it forever. Then start saving for the next one.

A purse is the essential component to any girl's wardrobe. Without a classy, stylish purse , no woman's outfit is truly complete and sexy. Although a variety of purses is necessary to a complete a beautiful wardrobe, a careful selection is necessary in order to maximize utility for any given purse. The ultimate goal is tasteful style at an unbeatable price!

Since you are reading this article, you probably do not have hundreds or thousands to spend on exquisite designer purses . As so, you must compromise and spend your money in a thrifty fashion while looking for hip handbags at an affordable price! My tips below give an overview of selecting handbags that are in style while not breaking the bank!

1. The color of your purse does not have to match that of your outfit! You need not spend thousands of dollars on purses to match every outfit in your closet! Also, using bright colored handbags to contrast with a neutral colored outfit can make you stand out amongst the crowd!

2. Larger handbags are in! In our anti-minimalist society where all our products and desires are growing, purses are no exception! Not only are larger handbags in style, they offer superior practicality in regards toting around vast amounts of goods. The larger the purse, the easier it is to find that lipstick that seems to get smaller every time you look for it.

3. In juxtaposition to number 2, clutch handbags that are small enough to be hand-held are becoming extremely popular for all occasions. This is the case especially for parties where you cannot or do not feel comfortable lugging around a large purse, a clutch handbag can offer just enough space to fit your valuables securely. You will never lose slight over it, and will not need to worry about having your valuables stolen or misplaced.

4. Designer bags such as Dooney and Bourke, Coach, Gucciy, Juicy, etc. are nice to have if you have the hundreds of dollars lying around, but are not practical for most people. Carrying a replica, or fake designer bag will not cause you to lose respect and appeal amongst your peers. A cute replica handbag will still provide you all the attention you could desire at your party or special event.
