Handbags, Why Do I Love Thee?
A lot of women including yours truly are enamored with luxury handbags, branded handbags or whatever way you may want to call them. In fact, very recently, I got the biggest surprise when I got another really awesome handbag from my husband for our eight wedding anniversary, something I’ll be writing about on my other blog soon. I got one standing rule about handbags, though. I will never go for replicas. If I can’t get authentic handbags, I’m better off not having it. Knock offs will just not do it for me.
So why do I love signature handbags? Because they are well made, they are long lasting and I see them as part of my investment. How many women see handbags like I do? I take good care of them that’s why I know I can probably pass them on to my nieces in the future. Is that possible? Yes, of course. Those Birkin Bags, are still out there, they never became passe. I’m not saying I own a Birkin because I don’t have one just yet, but I’m using it as comparison.
With that said, I know I can even be more well informed about the latest with handbags at PurseVillage.com. There’s tons of useful information on this site geared towards bag enthusiasts like me. So if you are, go check it out.
Believe it or not, I once bought a handbag (because I liked the look of it) for only $60 in this very chic boutique store and they were having a sale…I later found out, while shopping in an upmarket store and saw the signature on a handbag similar to mine…and it was an original “salvatore ferragamo” bag which would normally retail for over a grand!
It certainly was a nice suprise!

oh wow, this was certainly a very good find! did the bag come with any ferragamo signature(the buckles, or the typical ferragamo label) on it?
It had the “salvatore ferragamo” name inside the bag and throughout the inner lining, outside the bag was his main signature and also the zipper section was etched with the same label. It was a dark brown and light brown square combo coloured shoulder bag.
Was very shocked to find it was real!
@Marie
it must have been one lucky day for you. it happens once in a lifetime. enjoy!
Saw that new handbag you mentioned here, it was indeed nice. If I can really afford it I will also go for branded ones, and since I cannot as of this time I also don’t go for fakes. i’d rather choose a locally manufactured bag but is not an imitation.
