A lot of people are particular about where they purchase their upscale handbags. Some will only purchase them online while others will only purchase them from a department store. Citing reasons why are that they have to “feel” the leather (or silk, or preferred skins), or need to “smell” the product. Whatever. I just know that wherever I purchase my bag, I am going to make sure that it’s:

1. Authentic. Nothing like fake designer handbags. Some knock-offs do come close, but they just don’t cut the mustard. Kind of like fat-free ice cream. Why bother?

2. Has my preferred dimensions. I LOVE big bags because I love to put things (all things) in my big bag. Hence, the need for bigness. Anyway, my preferred size? The bigger, the better, no smaller than L-17.5″, W-8.75″, H-12.5″. Hmmm….Is that too big?

3. My right color. That can change with mood, occasion, etc. It just has to strike my fancy the minute I lay eyes on it.

Where do you prefer to purchase your bags?
