But making sure your bag will stand the test of time is so important when it comes to buying a designer handbag. You don\u2019t want to end up spending lots of money on a bag for it to then get lost in the back of your wardrobe because it\u2019s not worn enough. So, here\u2019s an idea of the handbags which won\u2019t be going out of fashion anytime soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<style> img {<br \/>  width: auto ;<br \/>  max-width: 100% ;<br \/>  height: auto ;<br \/>}<br \/><\/style>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10497\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Luxury-Handbag-Selection.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Handbag Selection\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Which luxury handbag should I buy?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two elements of choosing a timeless luxury handbag that you should be aware of; picking a classic bag and a staple colour or material. Herm\u00e8s, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dior all offer that classic, chic bag that will hold its value over time. Later on, we\u2019ll talk about our four all-time favourite bags.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next thing is colour. Bright colours can age quickly. A couple of years ago Barbie pink was \u2018tacky\u2019, now, thanks to Valentino and Fendi, it&#8217;s making a comeback. Season upon season, you can never really predict which bright colours will be a hit and which will be a miss. So, the safest option is to opt for a staple colour. Think white, black, brown and red. These colours are constantly being recycled throughout seasons by designers and are likely to always remain on-trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Do luxury bags hold their value?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people choose to buy a designer handbag as an investment, but the truth is that it all depends on what bag you choose to purchase. Racked even reported that a designer bag in its original, well-kept box, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/graziadaily.co.uk\/fashion\/shopping\/investment-handbags\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can keep 63% of its retail value<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When it comes to buying, <\/span><a href=\"\/handbags\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reselling price and buyer demand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could also both be key considerations for you. At the top of the ranking order is Herm<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e8s, whose Kelly and Birkin bags are renowned for their immense resale value because of their exclusivity. Other, more affordable options of brands with great resale history include Chanel and Dior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"enquirybutton\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/handbags\/\">Instant Quote For Your Designer Bag<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is the best material for a handbag?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly the most popular material for a luxury handbag is leather. Leather can be easily shaped and cut, which makes it a sturdy choice. It looks effortless and chic and tends to age pretty well too. The only drawback is that leather doesn\u2019t come cheap. The process of making ordinary leather is demanding, and the price can be even pricier if the material has come from exotic animals. For example, Herm<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e8s tend to use crocodile, lizard or ostrich skin in their bags, which as you can imagine is extremely hard to come by.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How do I choose a handbag to buy?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When there\u2019s so much great choice on offer, it\u2019s always going to be a tough decision. Start by considering what you want from your bag. Do you want to travel with it? Fit a laptop in it? Or do you just want it for your purse and phone? Once you\u2019ve established the primary purpose of your bag, you can start narrowing down your search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfort and colour are also important. You don\u2019t want a bag that will hurt your shoulder or arm when carrying it. Also, choose a colour that works with the clothes you\u2019ve got in your wardrobe. If you\u2019re really into black, then a black bag would work, unless you wanted to add a pop of colour and go for a vibrant red.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10499\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Handbags-Red-Dress.jpg\" alt=\"Handbags Red Dress\" width=\"806\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The luxury handbags that will stand the test of time<\/h2>\n<h3>Bottega Veneta Roma Tote (Medium)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Roma Tote is a big name and top seller for Bottega Veneta. This bag offers a spacious alternative to a traditional tote bag, as it has three large compartments within it. Made of light calf leather, the Roma Tote has a padlock clasp to keep your belongings safe and comes with a handy mini mirror and key fob. It comes in a choice of two sizes, we prefer the medium tote as it\u2019s the perfect size for carrying a lot of stuff but it looks like you\u2019re not. Designed primarily for functionality, the Roma Tote remains timeless whatever colour you buy. However, we really love the bright blue which is a bold choice but will add a pop of colour to any outfit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Gucci Bamboo Tote<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although bamboo hasn\u2019t quite made its full comeback yet, it still remains a timeless piece. The idea of using bamboo in bags was introduced in the 1940s, where it was viewed as an innovative way of replacing the standard leather bag handle. Gucci\u2019s Bamboo Tote was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatler.com\/article\/princess-diana-gucci-bag-reissued-1991-bamboo-handle-tote\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allegedly one of the late Princess Diana\u2019s favourite bags<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and she was widely photographed carrying it. Just in time for what would have been the Princess\u2019 60th birthday at the beginning of this month, Gucci reissued the bamboo bag as the Gucci Diana bag. With its square shape and spacious inside, it seems the perfect tote bag for any budding princess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"enquirybutton\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/handbags\/\">Instant Quote For Your Designer Bag<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dior Caro Bag<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dior Caro bag is the smallest bag on this list, but we\u2019re not talking Jacquemus Chiquito small, the Caro bag is still big enough to fit everything you\u2019d need in it. This bag isn\u2019t a tote, it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/loveluxury.ae\/blogs\/topics\/hermes-crossbody-bags\">crossbody bag which makes it perfect for everyday use<\/a>. The Caro features cannage stitching and the staple gold CD closure, Dior also sells another shoulder strap so you can mix it up if you wish. Dior offers a multitude of colours, sizes and fabric options. The Caro is usually offered in two sizes and a simple colour selection of ivory, black and grey. But, for summer 2021, Dior has released three other sizes in alternative colours such as blue, red and mint green. The exclusivity of these colours might make them worth more when it comes to resale and value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Louis Vuitton N\u00e9oN\u00e9o Bag<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no luxury brand that creates more classic pieces than Louis Vuitton. From their Speedy to their Neverfull, it\u2019s hard to argue that a Louis Vuitton bag isn\u2019t a staple in anybody\u2019s wardrobe. The N\u00e9oN\u00e9o is a bucket bag, and you have the choice in which canvas it\u2019s made from, whether that is the familiar Damier Eb<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e8<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ne or the Monogram. It can be worn in many ways thanks to its adjustable strap, so it can work as a shoulder or crossbody bag. Although the bag hasn\u2019t got a zip or clasp, it has got a drawstring closure and a zipped inner pocket to keep all your valuables safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing you can guarantee with these bags is that they will never go out of style.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might be thinking about upgrading your accessories and splurging on a new luxury bag.
