I’ve recently been searching for a new handbag. Since this sort of purchase is typically an investment of sorts, which means it needs to last a while, I look for one that meets the following criteria: 1. Quality (because it needs to last) 2. Black (because it goes with almost everything) 3. Leather (because it is more durable and easier to keep clean) 4. Timeless (again, because it has to last a while) 5. Trendy accents (so that timeless does not become boring) But why oh why does the one that strikes my fancy have to be over $2K? Seriously, it happens to me every time. Even if you did…
