Frequently asked questions about women's bags
What is the difference between a shoulder bag and a handbag?
The shoulder bag can be worn over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag with an adjustable strap, leaving your hands free. It's more compact and suitable for informal settings. The handbag, carried with short handles, offers greater capacity and is suitable for everyday use or more formal settings.
How to choose the right bag for everyday use?
Consider what you usually carry: for the essentials (wallet, phone, keys), a compact shoulder bag is sufficient. For a laptop, documents, or other essentials, a roomy shopping bag is needed. Also consider the empty weight and the comfort of the straps.
Do leather bags require any special maintenance?
Natural leather benefits from periodic cleaning with specific products and protection from excessive humidity. With use, it develops a characteristic patina that enhances its appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat sources and store in a dry place.
Are carry-on bags compliant with airline regulations?
The models offered generally comply with the standard cabin dimensions (approximately 55x40x20 cm), but it is advisable to check the airline's specifications before travelling, as some low-cost companies apply more stringent restrictions.
How to match bags with decorative details?
Shoulder bags with patches, chains, or appliques work best with simple, monochromatic outfits, where they become the focal point of the look. Avoid excessive layering of patterns or bold accessories to maintain visual balance.
What is the ideal capacity for an everyday bag?
For everyday use, a capacity between 10 and 15 liters is versatile: enough for personal items, small purchases, and electronic devices without being bulky. For professional needs or laptop transport, opt for 15-20 liter models.
