Having a luxury handbag in their wardrobe is the dream of many women. It is not only a stylish accessory made of fine materials by famous craftsmen, but one of the most powerful status symbols in fashion.
FASHION
Luxury bags are in fact timeless continuity models that remain highly trendy even years after their release. They are iconic, instantly recognisable and of enormous value and often, in order to be able to buy one, one has to go through a very long waiting list, turning this accessory into an elite piece.
In addition to these “timeless luxury handbags” that never age, there are the special, unrepeatable versions that the great fashion brands create in very few examples, such as the limited, rare and exclusive luxury bags that are only available on the market for a limited period of time and reserved exclusively for a restricted target audience.
This trend has also made luxury bags true fashion collector’s items, with bags reaching as high as six figures and a market that, according to Data Bridge Market Research, will be close to $42.48 billion by 2029, doubling its value compared to 2021.
How to choose the right model
For those who want to buy a luxury bag, there are a few tricks to follow so as not to risk making the wrong choice and ending up with a model that, after a few months, no longer satisfies.
To avoid buying a bag that has already gone out of fashion the following season, it is better to go for an iconic model that is part of fashion history and does not “fade” with changing trends. This will allow you to have a timeless bag that is always current and always desirable, even after many years.
Another option is to opt for limited edition models: these are absolutely rare and exclusive luxury handbags that only a few manage to own and that trigger real, endless waiting lists. The limited edition bags are a boast for those who manage to buy them and have a higher value than the other models in the collection.
Another factor to consider is style: it is better to aim for more neutral colours if you want to have a luxury bag that does not get tired, that goes well on all occasions and that, once the colour of the season has gone out of trend, is still very up-to-date.
Obviously, the brand also counts: opting for the big fashion brands is always a certainty in terms of quality, excellence and prestige and allows you to have a model with a guarantee of authenticity.
Finally, for those who want an extremely exclusive bag, they can choose one of the rarest and most historic models, of the highest value, which becomes a precious accessory and, at the same time, a unique and hard-to-find piece.
The waiting list to buy them
If you want to buy a luxury handbag, remember that it is not as simple as it may seem.
They are often exclusive, rare, highly sought-after handbags that are often produced in very few pieces. This means that, to get it, you have to ‘queue’ and, of course, be prepared to spend very high sums of money: the price can vary from a few thousand euros (for new models) to astronomical amounts (for the most prestigious and rare collections).
The most important fashion brands create waiting lists at the launch of a new model or the opening of sales of a limited edition.
The first thing to do is therefore to carefully choose the brand of luxury handbag you wish to have. Once this is done, it is important to become a customer of the boutique where the model you are interested in will be sold, so that you have access to a preferential channel to get on the list and reserve the bag of your dreams.
The waiting time can vary from several months to several years, depending on the model requested and availability. If you are among those chosen, when the bag becomes available it will be shown in a reserved room, so that the buyer can enjoy a truly unique experience in direct contact with their dream come true.
