Is Buying A Designer Handbag Wasting Money?

By Lee MacRae

Designer handbags and purses today come in many extraordinary styles and designs making it easy for women who buy them to express their individual fashion sense. Each woman can find a designer bag that ranges from casual handbags to fabric handbags or contemporary designs. But there is the fact that these bags usually cost a lot more than a bag or purse from a five and dime shop. So we have to ask ourselves, do you get what you pay for?

If money is not an issue, then the question is mute. But if you want to make sure you get value for your money you want assurance the Gwen Stefani purse or bag is worth the money. Well, the good news is manufacturers of designer handbags used top grade material such as leather. Top grade leathers give products like handbags a fine appearance and a long lasting quality since it 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!

Now it is true that you're also going to pay for the name on the handbag. But you should also understand you will pay for the quality in a brand-name product. The best bags made by Cole Haan or Prada will be made from the best leather material.

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. And so they use a lower grade linings and even lower grade hardware such as the clasp. They will wear out and fall apart in no time. Top full grain leather's come from top grade hides and have no imperfections. This natural grain is extremely durable. It simply does not wear out and over time, develops a rich patina that increases natural beauty. Full-grained handbags are often made from the skins of young cattle and are highly sought after due to their fine quality and smooth texture.

In conclusion, you may pay a lot for a handbag by Maxx New York or Betsey Johnson but what you are buying is a top quality product and it will be with you for a lifetime if you desire. Buy a designer handbag today.

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.' ...
