Shopping for a new bag is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. With so many options to look at, styles to opt from and qualities to compare with, it puts one through a great deal of stress and anxiety. It`s a rollercoaster ride in which one goes through a range of emotions from heartbreak caused by the price of the favourite bag, to being delighted after having a beautiful bag in hand.

Bags take up a greater chunk of our fashion style and with the brands cashing in our desires, the prices of bags have become exorbitant. With a tight budget and growing inflation, it has become difficult to buy those branded bags and even the new startups are following the bandwagon of high pricing, adding to the difficulty level.

How to choose a good bag

While looking for a new bag, you must look out for the following criteria.

Size:

Select a size you consider appropriate for your needs. A bag should contain all the items you deem necessary to meet your travel requirements and provide your hand the relief they deserve. Bags should neither be small or oversized making it harder for you to carry.

Colour:

Go for a colour, that goes effortlessly with every outfit if you are going to be wearing it everyday to your work. Bright and unusual colours can be very difficult to pair with other outfits except for the similar colour schemes.  Black, brown, beige and white purses can be effortlessly matched with every outfit.

Comfort ability:

If you dread wearing your bag along with you then you have certainly made a wrong decision.

The purse, tote or a backpack should be comfortable for you to carry it around all day long. Don`t go for heavy bags because they can easily wear you down on a rough day. Carrying heavy bags for an extended period of time can also cause you muscle pain and bone injuries in a longer period.

Material:

With a wide range of materials to choose from such as animal leather, synthetic leather, nylon, polyester, jute, denim, cotton etc, go for the ones you feel are most durable. Nylon and original purses are considered to be durable and fitting for everyday use.

 
Affordability:

It`s a common conception among many that an expensive  purse is like a future investment since it will last longer and be used much more than a cheaper purse. This may be true but when people are tight on money, buying valuable branded purses is simply out of reach and an unrealistic dream.

 
Compartments:

Look for bags with segregate compartments to keep your items assorted and assembled. Finding smaller things such as keys in a single zipper bag with everything dumped together in one pocket is nearly impossible.

Durability:

A bag should be able to bear the tears and rough handlings. Check the handles and zips properly because many times, a bag is left unused due to broken zips and handles.

Suitable for the occasion:

It is best to consider about the occasions you will taking your bag to such as:

1. Shoulder bags

Shoulder bags are suitable for office and happy hours. Also very convenient to carry.

2. Totebags

Tote bags if you are a person who wants millions of things on them when they go out.

3. Hand bags

Hand bags makes one look chic, smaller than shoulder bag but full of functionality.

4. Backpacks

Backpacks are trendy and if you are on a trip or want a more casual look, they should be your pick.
