Q&A: How to Shop for an Everyday Handbag
April 6th, 2007
Q: How do I choose a high quality handbag for everyday use?
Omiru
is pleased to bring you the answer to this style question from Ken Williams, the designer behind the
classic handbag line Retrodelic.
A: Look for a bag that…
1. You absolutely love. After all, you are going to wear it every day.
2. Can carry all of the necessary things for everyday use–your keys, wallet, etc.
3. Is made of high quality leather that will age well.
4. Represents an extension of your personality. Note that this may not necessarily be the current "It" Bag.
5. Doesn’t break the bank. Make sure you get good value, quality and style for your money.

i actually like that cute red bag in there. i just went to their website and they have some very Marc Jacobs reminiscent pieces (ala Venetia bag). Doesn’t say anything about the quality of the leathers though…makes me wonder how soft it is?

actually another interesting handbag line is the Hayden Harnett folks. I like their ibiza tote I think it would be a functional commuting work bag.
