There are certain things to look for in a quality handbag.  At House of Handbags we evaluate numerous vendors yearly, and only the "cream of the crop" make it to our shelves.  Wherever you decide to buy, before you do so you should check the following items:
  • Check the Stitching
    One sign of a quality handbag is the stitching.

  • Check the Seams
    A good seam allowance helps to reduce stress on the seams.

  • Check the Lining & Hardware
    Quality handbags are fully cloth lined & hardware is brass & heavy, not plastic.

  • You can tell if a product is actually leather by...
    The color variation within the hand bag.  Genuine leather produces a unique color variation and natural beauty.
