When you are buying a leather handbag there are various things that you should look out for in order to get a good deal. One of the most important elements is ensuring that you purchase a bag that will be able to withstand the test of time. This will give you more for your money and will prevent you from having to buy replacements.
Finish
The finish of the leather bag is probably one of the most distinctive elements. As a general rule of thumb the softer the leather the more expensive the bag will be. When you are buying a bag you should try to compare the softness of it to other models. The storekeeper should be able to give you advice on how to clean and maintain the bag. This will give you an idea of how much maintenance it will require.
Stitching and Lining
It’s very important that the stitching and lining is in order. Without good quality stitching and lining your bag will find it difficult to handle pressure. Good quality handbags should provide neat stitching that won’t compromise when a significant amount of pressure is placed on it. When you are checking a bag make sure you open it up and check the lining.
Attachments
Make sure you take a good look at the attachments on the handbag. This means checking the quality of the strap, pockets, zippers and any part of the bag that will require attention. Try to assess the overall quality of the attachments to see if they will be able to handle a lot of weight. Open and close the zips to see if they get caught in the material easily.
Smell
There is no better way to check the quality of a leather handbag than by giving it a quick smell. Some people feel a little silly smelling a handbag in a shop, but it’s a sure-fire way to see if it is real leather or if it’s been diluted with dyes and chemicals. The closer to the natural smell of leather it is the better quality it will be.
Warranty
Designer leather handbags cost a lot of money. To ensure that you are protected it’s important that you are provided with a warranty. This means that you will be able to return the bag and get a replacement if there is a problem after the purchase.
