Handbag Fashion Dilemmas
Handbag Dilemmas
Handbags can be insanely expensive. Take the classic Chanel Quilted Flap Bag for example, even if you try to find it on eBay, and considering it is original, the price tag will be in thousands. You don't really need to bust you family budget to have a good designer handbag, and above all you need to choose the best bag that fits you and will flatter your natural beauty. But, a handbag isn't really an accessory in which you want to ‘save' money, because you may end up buying a bag that will be a poor investment. On the other hand, you don't want to spend too much money and buy a handbag that will make you look fatter. Here are some tips on how to invest your hard earned money in a good handbag.
Handbags are Investments
Keep this motto in mind while shopping for your new handbag: Handbags are investments. They are not an investment that will bring you profits, but, if you look at them as an investment in your beauty and confidence, and it is something that will last you for years, then it is a good investment. Unlike shoes, which can also be very expensive, handbags should be with you for years. Good shoes can last for a couple of years, but they get so much pounding on a daily basis that wear and tear much faster than handbags. When you buy shoes, your mindset should be the trend for this year, but with a handbag, your mindset shouldn't be the trend but what will fit you this year, the next and many years to come, not unless you can afford to buy a new bag every year.
Take your time to shop for your handbag; do not rush into any buying decision without weighing in all your options. Do not buy one because your friends say so, it is listed as the very best handbag, and you will buy it because of a discounted price tag or the sales lady from the shop pushed it on you. It is a very personal decision and it should be the handbag with which you literally fall in love. Just like you love to walk with your boyfriend by the hand and show him off to friends and foes, your handbag is even more important.
Hints and Tips to Buy Your Handbag
First of all be practical. Your handbag will carry all your life inside it. If you like to read books and carry a journal, buy a handbag with enough space for it. If you have to carry diapers and milk bottles everywhere you go, then buy a bigger one. If you are a fashionista and only need a lipstick, perfume stick and powder pouch to survive, buy a small handbag with style and class. Your handbag should fit your lifestyle. After lifestyle, it should fit your body. The handbag can serve two purposes; hide unflattering parts of your body, or draw attention to them. Choose a strap length that will stop at the height of the body part you want to highlight. Choose big bags if you are tall or large on the hips. Smaller bags look better if you are skinny or small.
Last tip, maybe the most well know, choose a bag that has the opposite shape of your body. If you are tall and skinny, go for a round bag and large; if you are small and round shaped, a thing and long bag will fit you the best. Take this as the golden rule in handbags shapes for you. Above all, find the bag that you'd die for and you can afford.

Where do I find small, clutch purse-like metal cases to make my own minaudiere handbag?
silver-tone, not mesh...hard and case-like. For example, like a Judith Leiber handbag (they're a fortune).
No luck on eBay so far.

Some of the bags could be "covered"...??? I like your idea and find it intriguing. What a creative, fun project.
