How to snag the perfect handbag

Do you ever feel bad when purchasing a pricey handbag for that one party? Worry no more, because Personal Stylist Jill Marinelli has several tips on how to purchase that chic, yet affordable handbag for any budget.

• First off, try to invest in your every day handbag, rather than a handbag used for one occasion.
• When in need of a handbag for one occasion that is affordable, try avoiding handbags of synthetic leathers. They tend to look cheaper.
• For warmer seasons, look for handbags with colors that pop. Different shades of orange, green, blue, and red are perfect colors for summertime handbags.
• A woven bag with rope handles might sound flimsy, but they actually serve as fun and stylish beach handbags for the summertime and do not experience much wear and tear.
• When purchasing that one expensive handbag, try looking for one that makes a statement and leaves an impression. Expensive handbags with exotic prints and skins can help any outfit appear pricier.
• The final tip for purchasing a pricey handbag is to buy one that is pretty simple in color, style, and pattern so it can be trendy for years to come. If your handbag is going to be such an expensive purchase, why not make it wearable for the future?

Several of the handbags Marinelli in this segment were from J. Marcel Shoes on 808 Hope Street in Providence, R.I. where along with handbags, other trendy accessories are sold. For any stylish individual, it is the perfect place to test Marinelli’s handbag tips. Happy shopping!
