Vintage and retro bags can look amazing. They can
add a point of interest to your outfit that takes
it from so-so to excellent. However, in order to
do this, you need to make the right choices and
this isnt always easy when it comes to handbags.
Today, we are going to help you to make the
most of your handbag shopping by providing you
with some top tips to help you buy the best bags
that your wallet can afford. We have gathered
these tips from expert buyers, so were certain
that you will find them handy. Tip 1 Know How
to Spot a FakeIts fine to buy fake handbags,
but only as long as you know that they are fake.
It isnt good to buy what you think is a genuine
bag but which turns out to be an imitation.
Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people
out there. These people are willing to sell knock
off handbags at designer prices.

To avoid this, you need to know the type of
things to look for from each brand of handbag.
For example, if you have found a Dior vintage
handbag, and someone is selling it as a true
example and not an imitation, you need to know if
its real. To do this, you can find out what the
signs are of a genuine handbag. Dior handbags
have features that set them apart from the fake
handbags. Use these features as a guide. For
instance, does the bag have Dior stitching? If
not, ask for a better price or simply dont buy
the item. All of the big designers will have
telltale features that show that they are
genuine. When you find a handbag by a particular
designer, do your research, and find out how you
can spot a genuine from a fake. Tip 2
Understand That Handbags Will Be Expensive, Even
if DamagedOne of the most disappointing things
about vintage handbags is that you do not get
much of a discount if the item is damaged. This
is because the value is in the age of the bag,
rather than its condition.

If you want to buy a spotless bag, then think
about buying a vintage style bag, rather than an
actual vintage bag. Most people wont be able to
spot the difference, and even if they can, it
doesnt affect your look as much as you might
imagine. You can always have the handbag fixed,
but this can take away some of the charm of the
item. It all depends on the piece and how vested
you are in maintaining integrity. Tip 3 Its
Unlikely That You'll Find a Hidden Gem in Your
Local Charity Shop20 years ago, you might have
been able to find retro handbags for sale that
people had thrown away unknowingly. Nowadays,
this is unlikely. First, people have long since
cottoned on to the significance of vintage
clothing and how much they can fetch. Second,
its likely that other people will get their
first on the rare occasion that you happen across
a decent example of a retro handbag.
