Ladies and their handbags, am I right?  You guys know I have always loved handbags, even as far back as I can remember. I remember being a little girl and always asking my mom for new shiny glittery bags.  As I got a little older, I would sneak into my moms closet and try hers on. I did not start off with the designer bags I have today, so I know what it means to save and then splurge.  The bags listed below are fantastic staple bags worth the splurge.  They have style, longevity and are of course chic! So, if you are looking to start your luxury handbag collection, here are some great picks. My picks are well-made, well priced, recognizable have good resale value. You can also watch my YouTube video (HERE) highlighting the best starter bags.  Also, don’t forget to let me know which bags you are thinking about purchasing.
