What you must know before buying a handbag?

Posted by LF Shop on May 6th, 2022

Of all the accessories in a woman’s wardrobe, none holds the place of the statement handbag. Handbags are the finishing touch to a look or an outfit, and the presence or absence of one can truly make or break a look.

From sleek minimalist pieces that can take the chicest of outfits a notch higher, to oversized functional pieces that have enough room to be prepared for doomsday; there seems to be no dearth of designs that keep coming into the market. Now and then, new designs are launched that are just irresistible! But is just that enough reason to buy?

It is exactly this fast pace at which new designs move across shelves in stores that we need to be a little more mindful of what we buy. While there are timeless pieces such as a black formal clutchor oversized wallets that will carry all your cards, a complete wardrobe requires a little more variety to choose from.

Like any other piece of clothing and apparel, shopping for a handbag requires one to consider a lot of things. Your physique, body type, and the way you carry yourself are just as important as your personality to decide what handbag you want to use. If you want your handbag to make a statement with your outfit, it is important to have your whole look well-balanced out. For some, it is easy to figure this out, while for others, it is quite hard. If you are looking to add a women’s designer handbagto your collection or are looking for women’s designer handbagsto gift to a dear one, keep reading. We have compiled a list of things that you need to check off before you invest in one.

The right material:

Women’s designer handbags come in all kinds of materials. From natural fibres like cotton denim, jute, hemp, or bamboo, to synthetics like polyester. And while a handmade leather handbagwill always be a classic product, the widespread awareness for ethically made products has led to a rise in the demand for luxury vegan handbagsas well. Luxury vegan handbagscan be found in all kinds of sizes, shapes, colours and styles. They are said to be just as durable and long-lasting as handmade leather handbags.

The right size:

The size of your handbag is just as important as the material it is made out of. The size of the handbag will decide how it will look with a particular outfit. As a rule of thumb, match the size of your handbag with that of your body. A large handbag on a petite person will look just as mismatched as a small handbag on a bigger person. Luxury vegan handbags come in a range of sizes and you are sure to find something that suits your look and style.

The right colour:

When it comes to the colour of a handbag, there is no right or wrong. However, it always makes sense to have something that goes well with a range of outfits. Instead of opting for a unique colour, try sticking with classics. A brown or black formal clutch is sure to go with most outfits. It can be easily styled with an office outfit as well as for a party or casual hangout. Muted neutral colours in timeless designs are the best way to go. However, that being said, you can also go ahead and break the rules if you have a truly beautiful piece in mind. A unique design can look nice even if it is in an outrageous colour.

We are huge advocates of what looks good to you, should work for you. In the end, your style is about you.

The right number of pockets:

The ideal handbag is nothing if it cannot do the one thing it was designed to do: carry stuff! Before investing in a handbag, make sure that it will serve the purpose of carrying all that you need it to carry. It should have enough pockets for all your cards, cash, and miscellaneous pockets for items of daily use.

The right strap:

Handbags are meant to be carried along. To do this comfortably, make sure that the piece you purchase has the right strap. If your handbag is carried by hand, make sure that you get a good grip on it. If it is to be carried on a shoulder, try it on and see if it is wide enough to hurt your shoulder. Clip-on straps are a bonus and can transform your bag from a handheld one into a sling-type.

Fits your budget:

Fine luxury handbags come in all sizes and shapes. They also come in a range of budgets. Before making the final choice, make sure that your chosen handbag fits your budget. If not, look for a similar design by another brand that sells in a lower range.
