Investing in a good solid workhorse of a handbag is something you will never regret. Never mind that it’s a make-every-outfit kind of piece; consider it to be a key component of everything you wear — every single day. So it makes complete sense, both style-wise and economically, to invest in this very important addition to your wardrobe.
A well-chosen luxury bag not only has the ability to elevate most any outfit, but can truly last a lifetime. And it can sometimes even become an heirloom! Many of the iconic brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Loewe and Chloe really hold their resale value, which is an added bonus. Read this post about Chloe handbags.
Some might argue “why in the world would you even think of spending the equivalent of a year’s worth of … on a purse??” I get that, and I realize not everyone thinks the way I do. But, consider this for example: the photo below, where I’ve worn and worn and worn this Gucci cross body for months on end — there’s not one doubt I got my money’s worth. And now I might just be adding this one to my collection.
Here is my round up of those classic, iconic handbags as well as some of-the-moment styles that would be a solid investment for your hard earned money. Trust me!!
