Well my fellow followers of fashion, if you ever needed an excuse to splash the cash on a designer handbag, I think I’ve finally found it.
Belinda White, acting editor and fashion director at handbag.com, says that if you decide to purchase a designer handbag, you can actually regard it as an investment.
I couldn’t agree more, Belinda.
"A designer handbag can be an attainable treat to save for, something which can last for years and be passed down," she states.
If my mum had the mindset of Belinda then I could now be the proud owner of a veritable collection of vintage hand-me-downs.
What’s more, she suggests that if you’re struggling to give a run of the mill outfit the necessary va va voom, a designer handbag can do the trick nicely.
"They’re the finishing touch that can make an otherwise unspectacular and perhaps not so expensive outfit really shine," she comments.
It may interest you to know that we Brits seem to be a nation of handbag obsessives – a recent survery from OnePoll revealed that the average woman in the UK will spend a total of £4,000 on bags during the course of her lifetime, owning up to 17 at any one time.
Oops, I’m pretty sure that I’ve already well-exceeded my £4,000 lifetime allowance.
How many designer handbags do you own?
