In handbags, there are several features that are considered 'must-have' for absolute luxury. Thus, these are of course also relevant for luxury traditional handbags. Many major luxury handbag brands today produce their handbags abroad. Often in Asia in high editions. Strictly speaking, you thus no longer meet the luxury claim. The awareness of the brand weighs the most here.
Our luxury traditional bags follow the relevant characteristics for luxury handbags. A high standard that makes each ©Dirndlblüte so unique and very special. Simply check the following points to see if the last luxury handbag you bought is really a luxury handbag. And maybe you will feel like buying one of our luxury traditional handbags right here.
Craftsmanship: Handbags that are handmade by skilled craftsmen or in small manufactories are considered very high quality and luxurious. These bags can have elaborate details and decorations, are always very expensive and are available only in small numbers. Often, these luxury handbags are made only at the request of the customer. This approach is considered the highest standard of luxury handbag making in the world.
Material: Handbags made of exotic, rare and thus already in the purchase very expensive materials such as crocodile leather, ostrich leather or python leather are considered particularly luxurious and have a very high price. And: regionally based tanneries, which have been producing first-class leather for generations, succeed in producing luxury leather through innovation and in compliance with high environmental protection and animal welfare rules, which is available in limited editions and stands out for its very special quality.

Brand: Handbags from well-known luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Gucci are often expensive and are considered a sign of status and luxury worldwide. But especially niche brands that meet the relevant characteristics of luxury handbags are considered extremely desirable. Even in the luxury brand market, if you don't know your stuff, you buy expensive. Those who know their way around treat themselves to luxury that is not available everywhere: regional niche brands with high standards.
Limited editions: handbags produced in limited editions are considered particularly rare and exclusive and, if other luxury features are added, are very expensive. Especially luxury Trachtentaschen, which are made exclusively on customer request by master craftsmen where they originate, are coveted. Only in this way is a traditional bag authentic and radiates the dignity and perfection it needs to be a true luxury object. Luxury is also a feeling of unattainability.
Personalization: handbags that can be personalized to order, for example with individual monograms or special colors, are considered particularly luxurious and exclusive. Even Chanel 100 years ago gave its most loyal customers the opportunity to choose the color of the handbag before it was made. This copy was marked with a code under which the name of the handbag owner was registered at Chanel.
Ultimately, luxury in handbags is often a combination of craftsmanship, material, brand and exclusivity. The price of these bags is always very high and they are sometimes a status symbol for their owners.
