Designer Handbags - Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

Handbags from famous designers are made in a large variety of designs and styles that allow women who buy them to express their individual fashion sense. Designer handbag can be found in many different styles from the traditional handbags to the amazing romantic handbags of the stars. But designer handbags also cost much more than a bag or purse from a five and dime shop. So the question arises: are you just buying fashion or do you also get value for your money?

If money is not an issue, then the question is mute. But if you want to make your money stretch the most you want assurance the AmeriBag bag or 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 make a cracking sound, forget about it!

The answer is - designer bag or purse these days are made from high-grade materials. A leather purse or bag made by Guess or Nicky Hilton will use top grade leather that is long-lasting, supple and very beautiful in appearance. So, although you will be paying for the name you will also be paying for fine quality. Still not convinced?

Here is a hint, fine leather bags have a fine lining. Cheaper handbags will not. Makers of lower grade products look for every possible way to keep costs down. As a result, you will find cheaper linings and even cheaper hardware. They will wear out and fall apart in no time. Full-grain leather is made from the finest natural hides with no imperfections. Top grain leather's are extremely long wearing. It is extremely durable and over time, develops a rich patina that increases natural beauty. The skins of young cattle are usually used for full grain handbags and have extremely smooth texture, and very fine quality.

So, should you buy a leather handbag made by Fossil or Sak? Without a doubt. You will be acquiring a quality product that will also make a fine fashion statement.

Fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men�s, women�s, and children�s fashions for the mass market. Designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, or Sean John are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.

Many professional fashion designers start off by specializing in a particular area of fashion. The smaller and the more specific the market, the more likely a company is to get the right look and feel to their clothes. It is also easier to establish oneself in the fashion industry if a company is known for one type of product, rather than several products. Once a fashion company becomes established (that is, has regular buyers and is well-known by both the trade and the public), it may decide to expand into a new area. If the firm has made a name for the clothes it already produces, this helps to sell the new line. It is usually safest for a company to expand into an area similar to the one it already knows. For example, a designer of women's sportswear might expand into men's sportswear. The chart below shows the areas in which many designers choose to specialize.

Think in terms of outfits when you shop, and be practical. When you buy a new dress, be sure you have shoes and other accessories to go with it. Maybe a jacket or scarf to wear over it to give it a different look.

-High collars shortens necks.
-Tight tops with short sleeves and breast pocket is detracting from your figure. Shoes with straps shortens your legs. The torso can be shortened or narrowed with seam lines, belts, bows, and collars.
-A short necklace can shorten your neck.
-A scarf or belt that hangs down toward the legs will make the legs appear longer. Knitted texture, lace, floras, prints, and plaids can assist in creating an illusion. T
-thicker vertical lines in plaids lengthens and slims.
-Wear a larger print where you want people to look and smaller print where you do not want them to look.
-An all over print can camouflage figure problems, but prints here and there can create a fuller you.

Are you tired of reading books? Me too. Over the years, I developed pulpuslaceratapohobia - and the only known cure for that is Audible. Finally, a way to digest words without actually having to read them. Professional voices are wonderful choices if you love literary works in audio format. Are you ready to read some audio books? Maybe you should just listen to them instead.
