A craze for designer handbags

If there's one thing I love, it's a nice designer handbag. As I've mentioned before, I worked in the handbag department at Nordstrom because of my love for handbags. I believe that if there's anything you should spend your hard-earned money for, it's a nice handbag and shoes that will last a long time. Even if you're wearing a cheap outfit, a quality handbag and/or shoes really makes it look polished and put-together.

I tend to go for basic black when shopping for a handbag. I know, boring, right? I just want a bag that I can use everyday and be able to hold everything including my netbook, which I usually carry around with me everywhere. After all, if I'm going to spend some money on a nice handbag, I might as well show it off and use it whenever possible. 

Spring is right around the corner, though, so I've been on the lookout for handbags in white, beige, and coral colors. Last year I bought a Badgley Mischka cross-body purse in beige, but made the mistake of wearing denim with it, so now it's been a challenge finding good leather cleaner that works. So if you are going to buy a light-colored handbag, make sure to buy leather cleaner or find a shop that can do it for you. 

Buying a quality handbag doesn't mean you have to break the bank. You can find designer handbags online at a good discount.
I remember when I was a young girl in the 80's my father went to Korea for work and came back with a few Gucci replica handbags. At the time I had no idea they were replica handbags. I didn't even really know about the Gucci brand because I was so obsessed with brands such as Esprit and Guess - as many teenage girls at that time were. All I knew was that these Gucci replica handbags looked really nice and were high quality, so of course I rocked those handbags like I was the most stylish teenager in the world :)

I don't mind paying a few hundred dollars or more for a designer handbag because I know that it will last a lifetime. If I had the money, I'd definitely start a designer handbag collection and hold onto them for resale in the future. Who doesn't love a vintage designer handbag?
