Firstly, by looking at the title, what comes to you mind when you see the words “dear handbags”? Maybe you will think of those beloved handbags you own. But here, by dear, I mean expansive. Of course, those dear (expansive) handbags could be your beloved handbags too. Here in this article, I am about to introduce to you several dear handbags that comes with a dear price.

The Hermes Birkin Bag

Designed by Ginze Tanaka, the famous Japanese designer, the Hermes Birkin bag comes at a whopping $1.6 million dollars. This dear bag features over 2000 encrusted diamonds as well as a pearl shaped diamond in 8 carats in the bag body and shining diamonds in the strap too. That explains partly its high price.

The Chanel “Diamond Forever” Bag

From the name of the bag, we could simply know that the Chanel bag must be set with numerous diamonds. True. The single Chanel bag features a stunning 334 diamond in 3.56 carats in total. Its price is stunning too, over $420,000 dollars.

The Lana Marks Cleopatra Bag

The Lana Marks Cleopatra bag is a handmade diamond bag. Actually, Lana Marks produce several these bags for retail every year. The brand allows only one celebrity to carry it on the red carpet. Being set with 1500 black and white diamonds, the red carpet Lana Marks Cleopatra bag asks for $255,000 dollars.

The Urban Satchel Louie Vuitton Bag

The Urban Satchel Louie Vuitton bag is a very special bag in terms of design. You would not find much diamonds on the bag but cigarette pocket, tea bags and water bottle etc. What’s more surprising is that this Urban Satchel Louie Vuitton bag has a price tag of $152,000. It is real dear.

So, with such dear prices, how much do you love them?

As I’ve talk about in my previous articles, a woman could never have enough handbags. Then, as we need various handbags, what is the best channel for us to buy the handbags?

Buying from the store? – No

Buying handbags from the store is the main current for most people to get the loved handbags. However, this is not the best channel to pick the handbag in my opinion. Why? It wastes much time and is a little falling behind the new fashion. When one goes out to the store, much time is required for her to get to the place. And in most cases, the first store may not have the proper handbag and one must move to the next store or the third store or more. In such cases, much time is wasted. Moreover, one could not get the newest information about various new handbags from various handbag brands by going to one special brand store. So, it is time-wasted and outdated to buy handbags from the store.

Letting other pick for you? – No
There is no way that letting others pick the handbag for you is the best channel to buy a handbag although it is really time-saving. The problem lies in that one could not get the satisfied handbag if the bag is picked by others. Few people would do this except the really busy ones. But one could never be too busy to get a handbag for herself.

Buying from the internet? – Yes

Buying the handbags from the internet is the best way to buy a handbag. Why? It is fast, cheap and to the point. One could simply sit in front of the computer and browse across numerous handbags from various handbag brands. One could buy the perfect bag by reading the bag descriptions, savoring the bag photos and looking at the bag comments. It saves much time for the modern women who are very busy and need various bags at the same time.

So, do you agree with me? Welcome to leave your comments.

Tip No.1: Raise your awareness of maintaining the bags

It is important for us to keep in mind the importance of maintaining the bags. A cheap designer handbag needs your maintenance, so does a branded fashion handbag. With the awareness of maintaining the bags, you are less likely to throw your bag into the couch or put it in the damp shower room.

Tip No.2: Put it to the professional bag store or after-sale service department of the brand
If there is something unpleasant happened to my bag, like the drop of buckles or the loosing of stitches, I would not personally repair it as I am not sure if I could do it well. I would send my loved bag to the professional bag store or just send it back to the after-sale service department of the brand. One thing good about the branded bags is that the famous brand has the good after-sale service. They are professional and careful.

Tip No.3: Use the exclusive cleaning materials for cleaning the taints or spots

It would be unnecessary for a bag, no matter how good quality it is, to be contaminated by the daily taints or ashes. In such cases, I’ll do it myself by applying the exclusive cleaning materials. The exclusive cleaning materials are developed specially for some specific brands and will do minimal harm to my loved branded bag. So I trust them and keep my loved bags well.

Ok, so much for the tips today. All three of them are my daily experience for keeping my fashion and branded bags well. Hope they are useful to you.
