What is the most coveted handbag?
Probably the most coveted handbag in the world is the Birkin Bag by Hermès. It was designed in 1984 for the British film actress, Jane Birkin. The Birkin bag is a wedge-shaped, flat-bottomed bag made by a single craftsman, who spends 18 to 25 hours making it. The Hermès Birkin bag is larger and considered less-formal than the Kelly Bag. Hermès artisans can only make about five Birkins a week. Traditionally the Birkin was made out of brown crocodile but now available in many luscious colors. It is the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury and wealth.
How to Select a Handbag
Investing in quality is very important when selecting a handbag. A good quality, classic handbag is a simple leather bag without a lot of ornamentation. Make sure that your handbag is well made. The stitching should be secure. The zipper should be strong enough to work properly. Fabric bags should have zippers that do not get caught in the material of the bag. A good quality handbag should last for many years.
