Is Buying A Designer Handbag Or Purse Good Value?

By Lee MacRae

Designer handbags these days come in many extraordinary styles and designs making it easy for the lady who buys one of them to express their own sense of fashion. You can easily find a designer back that suits you from contemporary designs to casual handbags or the more traditional designs. But designer handbags also cost much more than a purse at a local thrift shop. So we have to ask ourselves, 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 Hogan bag or purse is worth the money. The good news here is that most designer handbags use only the very best materials such as leather. Leather can lend the handbag a beautiful appearance as well as durability since leather resists abrasion and handling very well. Fine leathers also have the additional quality of suppleness. If you handle a handbag and hear the leather make a cracking sound, forget about it!

Because designer purse or handbag are usually made from the finest materials. A bag by Isabella Fiore will normally only use leather that is top grade, that is beautiful, supple and will last a long time. So, While you may be paying for the name of the label, you will also be getting a top quality And how can you be definitely sure?

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. Cheaper handbags have low-grade linings and low grade hardware on them. You're wasting your money. 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 are highly sought after due to their fine quality and smooth texture.

So will you get full value for your money. When you buy a leather purse or handbag made by Caterina Lucchi or Kathy Van Zeeland? Without a doubt. You will be acquiring a quality product that will be fashionable for many years.

Textile artist Susie Freeman and practising GP Dr Liz Lee, are an unlikely twosome for an artistic collaboration. More unusual is the work they create - clothes that seem fluffy and frivolous but actually draw attention to medical matters.

Susie Freeman and Liz Lee are old school friends and Susie explains how their collaboration developed: 'We chat like all women do. Liz was very interested in family planning, and wanted to raise awareness of contraceptive methods available.' Around the same time, a U.S. gallery which sold Susie's work, commissioned one of her textile garments decorated with pills. Susie hadn't made such a piece but the mistaken request sparked an idea - combine Susie's dramatic fabrics with Liz's medical objectives.

Their idea, which they called Inside Out, won them a Sci-Art Award in 1998 - a grants scheme sponsored by the Wellcome Trust encouraging collaborations between scientists and artists. This set them on the path of 'drawing attention to medical decisions that people make', enabling Susie and Liz 'to express the thought processes and emotions involved when patients make decisions about medical treatment.' ...
