how many handbags does a girl need?...

According to statistics we ladies purchase on average 7 new handbags a year!... many of which when the fabric or fixtures fail are apparently discarded to the rubbish with no further thought!, other than the requirement for another bargain purchase!!

Consider the impact on our environment, from the sourcing and production of materials, factory set up costs, advertising, packaging, transportation and overall associated energy consumption... especially when you could be investing in a fabulous authentic pre-loved item, which may well last a lifetime due the craftsmanship and quality of fabrics used in production.

If you are tempted by a impulse handbag purchase whilst out shopping, stop and consider buying a beautiful luxury pre-loved bag from love handbags - a great investment personally and environmentally for the following reasons:

  • purchasing and using a luxury pre-loved or past season handbag consumes less energy than buying even a new item produced from recycled materials.

  • a high quality luxury handbag will have a much longer life expectancy than the little sale item you are tempted to purchase at a tempting discounted price.

  • you will be investing in an item which will hold a good residual value and may be, or possibly become a design classic.

  • no more hidden handbags in the wardrobe - as lets face it when your partner queries yet another expensive purchase, you are well within your rights to profess just how much you are helping the environment by owning a recycled handbag! ... so bookmark us, treat yourself and remember: lovehandbags: recycle re-use and re-love luxury !!
