A reader came to us with what we imagine to be a fairly common dilemma: She wants to invest in an authentic Louis Vuitton handbag, but also wants to make sure she picks one that is worth the exorbitant price tag. We think handbags are a little more important than other “investment pieces” (like shoes) and thus require even more careful consideration.

Unless you can afford to buy a new real Louis Vuitton bag every season, you want one that will withstand the passing of trends and continue to look amazing for years to come. We also think it’s important that you really, really love it and aren't just buying it for status or–not that we think we have that much influence–because it’s on this list.

Also, remember that just because it’s marked down doesn't necessarily mean it’s the bag for you. Lauren advises, “Don’t buy a Louis Vuitton bag that’s on sale unless it’s the one you really want. If you’re going to spend a lot of money regardless, pay full price for something you’ll love for a long time. I know from experience.” Louis Vuitton, in our opinion, really worth the investment.

The bitter cold of winter is truly giving us a run for our money. But the cold weather-eventually-too, will pass. And with that will come a venerable rainbow of spring 2014 handbags to put the sunshine back in our wardrobes. Really, few things get our temperatures rising more than the prospect of a new Louis Vuitton bag.

And when it comes to day-to-day dressing, especially during the tricky transition months, we say: Effortless is the new sexy! The key to the carefree look likes in classic, never-not-chic pieces with modern tweaks. Classic Louis Vuitton handbags are really worth your investment and if you cannot afford the pricey tags at Louis Vuitton shop, then this site http://www.authenticlouisvuittonhandbags.com would be your best choice.
