Designer Handbags Reach Record High Average $2,000 Fall 2005

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!
