Deciding to take the plunge and invest in a designer bag is kind of a big deal, as far as fashion purchases go. And whether it’s your first one or your fifteenth, it’s still pretty thrilling. That said, there’s a lot to take into account when making such a significant purchase, and if you want it to be one you can wear for years to come, the purchase carries even more weight.
