How To Choose The Perfect Bag For Your Style

If there is something that women never let go of our hand it is the bag. We know that our entire life fits in this accessory -be it in a clutch, tote bag or backpack- and that is why it has become one more extension of our personality

But beyond that, there are different factors that you must take into account to find the bag that suits your style and lifestyle.

Renowned bag designer Kent Stetson admits that finding the perfect bag depends a lot on each person's style. “For me, practicality comes first. Will you be able to save everything I need at any time? Does it have that quality that catches me in the same way that a work of art does?”, Shares the designer. For him, if a bag doesn't excite you, it's basically not worth buying.

And in addition to your style, your daily schedule is a factor that influences when looking for the perfect bag. And as proof, just take a look at your wardrobe where you will surely find three types of bag: those for work days, those you use for going out at night and those only for traveling.

In recent years, tote bags have become the most popular bag style. Later we can find clutch bags and shoulder bags. This tells us a little about what the current market needs are.

Thus, Kent Stetson advises to think about your main needs. “Are you looking for something durable and roomy, or something that would rather complement your outfit? You should also consider the materials that you like the most”, explains the expert.

Another aspect to keep in mind is knowing where to buy. For the designer, shopping online can become a touchy subject. "If you cannot physically locate the store when making an online purchase, you cannot guarantee the quality of what you are buying," he says. It is important to mention that the most expensive or brand bag is not always the best. 70 percent of the handbag market is concentrated in five brands: Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Michael Kors and Coach, whose prices range from $ 1,000 to $ 3,000 and are not always distinguished from the rest.

For this reason, beyond falling into standard designs, Kent Stetson bets on originality in each of his creations, which evoke art and expressionism. And so, to finally find the perfect bag, the designer recommends following your instincts until you find that bag that makes you feel that it was made especially for you.
