It’s odd when we think of the little things that trigger our memories of people who were important to us in our youth. The smell of a certain brand of cigar still makes me look around to see if my grandfather is nearby even years after he has passed away. Whenever I think of my grandmother, I think of her large leather handbag slung over her shoulder and gripped in her right hand as she walked through downtown. We don’t often consider that we will be remembered by the fashion accessories that we purchase, but we are. Especially if they are quality products that last for many years, or we regularly buy similar styles over a period of many years.
I don’t know what brand that handbag was or how many similar ones there may have been over the years, but it became an indelible part of my memory of her. I remember that her handbag always had a few pieces of candy inside for her grandchildren, and mints. There were always tissues and just about anything else that one might need on any occasion. She knew everything that was in the handbag, but it often took her a few moments to actually find the particular item that was being sought.
Before I go too far afield and get lost in my memories, let me get back to the point I was originally intending to make. When we get to a certain age and a certain station in life, we know what we like and we don’t bother with the hottest new fad that has all the kids in a tizzy. We get what we like, what we know, and what we are used to. My grandmother must have purchased the same style of handbag over and over again for at least 25 or 30 years.
When you’re making a purchase like that, it behooves you to look for quality. Rather than buying a new handbag every year, shop with a company that uses only traditional, high quality leathers, and assembles their handbags with robust methods that ensure a lasting quality. Along with that lasting quality, though, you’ll want a style that is classic and timeless as well. After all, if the handbag is going to last for years, the style should, too.
I know of only one company that fits all those traits, Maxwell Scott Bags. So sure are they of the quality of their products that they offer a lifetime warranty against any defects in materials or workmanship for all their handbags. That kind of guarantee is absolutely unheard of in the industry. They can do that because they insist on only the finest imported Italian leathers, produced with traditional vegetable tanning the way it has been handed down from father to son for generations in the old country. This process preserves and enhances not only the durability of the leather, but also its character. Richer hues and deeper tones bring out the natural beauty of the material.
If you’re going to be defined by the things you choose to keep around you, make sure they are made to last and look good for a lifetime.
