Helpful Tips For Buying Womens Handbags And Purses

By Stacey Burt


Most ladies rely on their handbags as not only a handy place to carry their personal items, but also as a final accent to their wardrobe and statement of style. The market is flooded with a huge selection of womens handbags and purses which can make choosing just the right one a somewhat daunting task. Here are some key points for Laurel, Maryland shoppers to consider when looking for that perfect bag.

Purses are available with shoulder straps, cross-body straps, short handles, and in the case of clutches, no handles at all. This is largely a matter of personal preference and practicality. It depends how the user is most comfortable handling her purse and which carrying option provides the most ease of use.

Selecting the proper size of purse is another point to cover. The ideal handbag is neither too small to accommodate one's essential items nor so large that it is difficult to find things or keep it organized. Doing a preliminary assessment of the typical volume of items it will need to hold is a good way to determine minimum acceptable size.

Handbags come in a wide range of different shapes too, much like people do, so it stands to reason that one should try to select the best shape of bag to complement her own figure. As a rule of thumb, the bag should have a shape that is opposite to one's body type, for instance a round purse for a tall, slender woman. This will create a more balanced overall look.

When it comes to color choice, the bag should normally look good with most of the pieces in one's regular wardrobe, but it also depends whether the wearer wants it to blend in or stand out. A bold look can be achieved with a jewel tone handbag in red, emerald, or sapphire, or a softer more subtle look can be accomplished by a black, brown, or gray design.

The quality is very important if the buyer wishes to have a bag that can stand up to years of use. Leather is generally the most durable material. Other things to make note of included how strong the stitching and seams are, strength of the zippers and handles, type of lining, and if it has protective "feet" on the bottom to keep the bag from getting dirty or damaged. Generally some brands are synonymous with quality purses more than others.

In terms of structure, the main storage space should be easy to access, and at least two side pockets are very useful for organizing smaller objects. Some purses have a rigid design that stays upright, while others are flexible and collapse when they are not being worn. Closure types may be a zipper or a clasp. These details depend on a combination of personal taste and how and where the bag will be used.

If realistic for one's budget, it is usually wise to opt for handbags with a higher price-tag, since the quality received in return will eventually pay off. A great deal on the perfect purse can be had with some careful watching and comparison shopping, both in physical boutiques as well as the online marketplace, which literally gives shoppers the chance to buy from sellers around the world.
