The Importance of Owning your Very Own Luxury Designer Handbag

Luxury designer handbags will never go out of style - that's the truth. Owning one straight of the catwalks of Milan and Paris means you got the clout to bust pass the wait list and own one of the most sought after investment pieces. But most women who own the lux handbags are no overnight fashionistas, these women if not born with expensive tastes, have cultivated an elegant eye for quality and excellence when it comes to fashion standards.


Though these are often the IT-list of luxury designer bags - Christian Dior, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton,  Chanel, Balenciaga and Prada - these design houses' leather craftsmanship go back centuries. Only with that rigid and painstaking process of craftsmanship are they able to pull fashion forward. They are able to maintain their classic and cult status among the elite 10% and celebrities. Take any lux bag from any of these houses and pair it with any go-to outfit of the moment or Pre Owned Designer Shoes, and you can expect to liven up your look with class. Because these statement pieces also represent icons of their time, many handbags are designed and named after extraordinary people who exude that style and allure that designers would easily pay tribute as their muse.

Take for example, Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco who inspired the Hermès’ Kelly Bag and the French actress, Jane Birkin after sharing a flight with Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas, Jane Birkin explained she badly needed a leather weekend bag that suited her lifestyle. And in 1983, the Birkin bag was born, and not just a weekend tote for the French chanteuse, but an iconic bag soon became emblematic of the elite.




Princess Diana was snapped with Christian Dior’s Constance Bag, which soon became the Christian Dior's Lady Dior Bag.  Even fictional fashionistas like Carrie Bradshaw were able to elevate luxury designer bags into mainstream consciousness, making her Fendi Baguette a coveted bag.


You can expect compliments from friends with these timeless bag pieces because just merely acquiring them is a year-long waiting game for some and a jaw dropper for many, consider that a luxury handbag price ranges from $1,500 to over $250,000.


Each design house can call upon a sudden surge in its price tag, and no one can demand to complain about it. Complaining just means you can't afford it. Still, these fashion gems are not fast-fashion throwaways, they are good market investments as well.  Overtime, their rarity and demand can skyrocket and even earn you extra if you decide to part with your luxury hand bag.
