Any season or occasion is a valid excuse to buy a new purse or handbag. The obsession with handbags hasn’t waned since they’ve been invented. In fact, handbags are now a status symbol; people automatically look for the logo on a handbag instead of at the bag itself just to see what name is currently being paraded around. But names aren’t the only reason Italian leather handbags are so popular. They’re high quality bags, and can take the normal wear and tear of everyday life. Since a handbag is designed to carry a woman’s life inside of it (literally, from medication to snacks, makeup, kids’ homework, keys, money, lotion, and anything else you can think of), it makes sense to want something that can endure that type of pressure. While at one point Italian leather handbags were somewhat expensive, now they are within anyone’s affordability, making them even more popular. Superior Craftsmanship Like their shoes, Italians take pride in any work that involves leather. But as with shoes, handbags aren’t necessarily limited to leather. While satin, snakeskin and other materials are often used, Italian leather is what’s most popular. This is because of the look and performance of it. It’s so butter soft, and leather stands up against all kinds of harsh conditions. Not to mention it’s very easy to clean and take care of. Artistic Quality Italian leather handbags are an art in themselves. The crafters are superior for their knowledge of edgy designs, as well as their abilities to take risks and borrow from other fashion time periods. Not only that, but there’s always a unique look about them that starts trends at least once a season. While the top handbags to date are French, Italian leather handbag designers frequently hold their own against them every season. No doubt the history surrounding the manufacturers (like Versaci and Fendi) only adds to this fact. Making a Statement Depending on the size and the design of your handbag, you can literally make a statement without saying a word. A big Italian leather handbag can make your outfit bold by adding a pop of loud, vibrant color, or clashing with your primary colors. Bold metallic buckles and straps often look like you mean business; these types of bags are often seen on career women, and are carried with an air of confidence. In fact, the way an Italian leather handbag is carried speaks volumes, and for most women, is an important part of the look they’re trying to portray. Popular among the Stars Perhaps what makes Italian leather handbags continuously popular is the fact that they’re always seen on the arm of a Hollywood star. British fashionista Victoria Beckham, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Katie Holmes, the Kardashian sisters, and scores more famous women are hardly ever seen without one on their arm. This adds to the fact that these bags are status symbols; the name brands are often equated with the star that wore them last. In fact, Gucci has a handbag collection named after and inspired by Jackie O.
