We recently stumbled upon an interesting article describing how a Ferrari is like an Hermes Birkin bag. We completely understood the sentiment – both a Ferrari car and a Hermes Birkin (or its Kelly sibling) bag are hard to come by because they are incredibly expensive and a limited number are produced each year.
If you or the lady in your life is looking at purchasing a designer handbag, it can feel a lot like buying a car. You are plunking down big bucks and you want to make sure that the style, usability, and level of prestige suit you. However, unlike purchasing a brand-new car, a designer handbag is usually a better investment because it tends to hold its resale value and can be passed down to future generations. Not all designer handbags are equal in terms of price and viewed prestige, so we have created a guide that compares popular designer handbag brands to car brands to help you get a better idea of what level you want to go with.
Europe has long been known for its luxury goods from handbags to cars. The designer handbag and car brands that we listed are some of the most prestigious and most expensive on the market.
You really can’t go wrong with American luxury when it comes to handbags or cars. Pricing is on par with its European counterparts, but the American brands tend to have a little less prestige and flash. But quiet luxury is nothing to scoff at and these handbag and car brands are still great buys!
Coach handbags, along with Lexus and Acura cars, are favorite brands for shoppers looking for a nice level of prestige without spending a fortune.
If you want a designer name but have a small budget to work with, premium brands like Kate Spade, Michael Michael Kors, and Lauren Ralph Lauren – or Buick if you are shopping for a car – are great choices! These handbag brands can be found in Macy’s, TJMaxx, or outlet malls.
We hope that we were able to help you understand the various levels of prestige for handbags and cars. Speaking of cars, our dealership store locations offer an amazing selection of high-quality used models from a variety of brands – including luxury and premium labels!
