Classic Designer Handbags to Invest In, a list of timeless bags that are worth the splurge.
I remember my first expensive handbag. I was in college and Kate Spade was popping up on the arm of every stylish girl around school. I’d sit and sigh, lusting over the cuteness of that little square purse and the preppy label. But I was on a scholarship and barely able to afford the basics so it seemed like an impossible dream for a broke 18 year old girl. I’ll never forget my excitement opening my birthday present from my group of girlfriends. They had all pitched in and bought me my first handbag, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled.
Over the years my love for beautiful purses would only grow, and thankfully so did my income so I could afford the occasional splurge. It’s a love affair, but like any love affair there are good memories and lasting loves, and then there are regrets. I’ve learned to avoid the trends and go for the classics, the pieces that stand the test of time and compliment your style as you get older. And there are still a few on my wish list that I aspire to own. It’s good to have goals, right? Here is my list of classic designer handbags to invest in:
