What Bags Give the Most Bang For My Buck? | yohana
We've got the bag for you. Please meet the "Mia" satchel from Liebeskind; it's like the Hermes Birkin and the Mulberry Bayswater had a very attractive child. And for $354, it's a fraction of the price with all the polish of its expensive cousins. We caught up with Julian Rellecke, owner and designer of the celeb-approved brand (the bags were recently seen on Audrina Patridge and Hailee Steinfeld) to get the inside scoop on how to get the quality and style of a designer purse without assaulting your bank account.
"The first reason a customer is attracted to a bag is because of the look," says Rellecke, so you want something that has the vibe of its pricey counterpoint, but still has it's own aesthetic. Just how, "Liebeskind has it's own brand personality," with it's casually luxurious feel, but still echoes shapes seen in classic designer bags.
The second, crucial factor is the materials. After all, you can't create a delicious meal with bad ingredients, right? Rellecke agrees, "One should be sure that the purse is made of the best leather, and the construction and accessories such as rivets or quilting are finished using the best products." Yes, this entails a little bit of research, but when it comes to finding the boyfriend bag – you know, the one by your side day in and day out – it's worth the time.
To get you started, here are a few bags that have the it-factor of a designer bag, without the price tag. If you're lusting over the bright blue Celine pouch seen under the arm of multiple tastemakers at New York Fashion Week, American Apparel makes a similar version, but in a rainbow of fun colors. Or take the PS1 purse by Proenza Schouler; the shoulder bag has achieved a celeb cult following, and you can get the feel with Madewell's Scholar satchel. See? You can have it all – designer style without the devastating price.
