Pick A Known Brand
If your gonna spend the bucks, make sure you’re getting the quality. The best brands are usually the most well-known ones, that have been around for the last several years. Examples of these stores are Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton’s and those are just a few. Just do some research and you should be good.
A Timeless Look
Think of the big picture, will this be something you’ll still love and feel good in a year from now? Will this be something appropriate for you to wear 5 years down the road. Will this still fit your style in a couple of months? This is why I recommend more of a classic look for luxurious brands.
Not a Trend
It’s easy to get sucked into trendy items. Pick a look you love, not just a trend or like. Pick something you love yourself and not just on others. Don’t purchase because it’s the hottest trend at the moment, that craze always dies down. Then nobody wants to wear them because they’re so overworn.
Usability
Make sure you pick a color or look you can wear with more than one outfit. Know what you want the bag to be for. Events, Everyday, etc. Known the material your getting. Be aware some materials last longer then other. Some damage easier than others. All depends on your lifestyle conditions and how you handle your bag.
