Many women dream of owning various designer labels. There is certainly no shortage of designer bags to put on your wish list. While owning a designer bag can mean a month’s rental, it is a serious investment. How often do desirable bags go on sale?

If you are serious about investing in a designer bag, be sure to check out this five shopping tips and own that long awaited designer bag. 🙂

1. Research

Affluent consumers research online prior to purchasing goods in stores. In fact, 78% of them research online before they buy. Therefore, it is important to have a trustable online platform. These shoppers are tech-savvy, and have high expectations of brand’s digital campaign and presence. Luxury shoppers have an average of three connected devices, and having a website that works well on mobiles, tablets and laptops are key for online shoppers.

2. Choose a high-quality bag

When looking for that perfect bag you want to invest in, search for quality. Why settle for second best? This is a piece you will be carrying around – a piece of accessory that represents you, and can be easily repurposed in your wardrobe to match with different attires. It is a lifetime investment.

3. Leather or non-leather? LEATHER!

Leather is one of the many things in life that looks better as it grows older. Choose leather because it ages so well – it will only get better in the years to come.

4. Go with classic designs

Identify an online platform that guarantees authentic goods and provide good customer service. One of the biggest reasons luxury brands have evolved to online selling and buying is the level of trust gained by consumers. Saving more than 50 percent of their investment, more and more consumers are comfortable purchasing luxury items online.
