Designer Handbags Reach Record
High Average $2,000 Fall 2005
By Anna Miller, http://eFashionHouse.com
Shopping in Beverly Hills
last week I strolled Wilshire
Boulevard popping in and out
of fancy stores sizing up
all the new designer handbags.
There are a number of new
looks for Fall 2005, and prices
have a new look, too. Did
you know designer handbags
have become the staple in
most wardrobes? It doesn?t
take a genius to buy a pair
of jeans and a T-shirt, but
to purchase the correct designer
handbag to pull it all together
has become quite an art.
In conversations with many
handbag salespeople, it was
obvious the upcoming season
will offer a variety of wild
colors, exotic leathers, and
metallic finished leathers.
They will appear in shoulder
styles, clutches, slings and
large totes. Most designer
bags remain consistent in
size and function. The variations
from season to season come
to color, hardware, texture
and price.
Prices are a difficult topic
for handbag lovers to discuss,
it became the purpose of the
Beverly Hills shopping trip.
Which designers will rise
to the top? Which handbags
will have the highest price
tags? These thoughts offered
astonishing observations wondering
through the high-end boutiques
and department stores.
Doing a bit of mental gymnastics
with a few designer handbag
price tags, it became obvious
a calculator was needed! Prices
are competing with Los Angeles
mortgage payments! One designer
bag, constructed of scratch
resistant, pebble grain calf
leather, had a hefty $3500.00
price tag. Durability to last
a life time is a major characteristic
of a quality handbag, but
let?s get real here, women
change handbags as often as
they change their nail polish.
Paying hefty prices for a
designer handbag a few times
each month is fashionable,
but not healthy or wise.
Not mentioning any names,
a lengthy conversation with
a handbag specialist in a
very well-known department
store shed light on the day?s
mission. We strolled the designer
handbag department with calculator
in hand. Punching in numbers
of our favorite high-end designer,
we came up with a hefty five-figure
total for 10 handbags. Then,
with jaws dropped open, the
average price was uncovered!
As expected, little was left
to shock and surprise. Based
on a sampling of the designer
handbag prices, the price
for a brand new, high-end
designer handbag this season
averages an all-time high
of $2000.00 USD.
Oh my! What a price we pay
to pull it all together ?
that pair of denim jeans and
T-shirt! We have become the
hunters in search of the best
designer handbag we can find.
And, when we know it will
coordinate with a pair of
jeans and a T-shirt, then
we know we?ve selected the
best bag. We want to look
good, and we want to feel
good, too. It would be nice
to know we can purchase a
bag from a new designer and
still make a mortgage payment
this same month.
Here?s a solution. For those
of us who know style and don?t
want to compromise quality,
find a designer handbag expert
to coach and guide your investments.
Lacking modesty, I?ll volunteer
recommendations on a variety
of designer handbags available
at a fraction of what you?d
expect to pay in a retail
store.
You can actually purchase
several handbags for the average
cost of one designer handbag
if you shop wisely. If you
are a true designer handbag
addict, and you purchase a
new handbag whenever you get
the urge, then you need a
reliable source. Shop carefully
at sites specializing in designer
handbags, and you'll find
your favorite designers at
as much as 50% less than the
average cost on Rodeo Drive!
