How to Choose a High-Quality Handbag
Whether it's a travel tote or a delicate evening purse, make sure your bag is well-made before you buy it. With little effort you can select a bag that's built to last and worth the money you pay for it.
 
  Steps:
1.   Examine the material and consider whether it's appropriate to the style. Business totes that will function as briefcases should be made of strong, thick materials such as leather or heavy canvas to ensure durability and a long life.
 
2.   Check the straps. Look for seams that are consistent and secure. Opt for styles that have an understrap with no unfinished or raw edges.
 
3.   Consider the strap attachment. Look for reinforced and flawless stitching where the end of the handle meets the top of the bag. Tug gently to test its strength.
 
4.   Test zippers and clasps to ensure that they function properly. Do the teeth of the zipper catch?
 
5.   Inspect the lining. Look for a durable and thick nylon, wool, vinyl or leather lining. Check the inside or the side pockets for any holes or crooked seams.
 
6.   Check for crocking, or color rub-off. Rub the bag gently with a handkerchief to see if any color transfers. Repeat with the handles, concentrating on the underside.
 
7.   Pull at any loose threads. Confirm that they do not start to unravel a seam.
 
8.   Examine any decorative trim such as beads, embroidery, iron appliqués or sequins. Ensure that there are no cracks, chips, splits or unsecured attachments.
 
 
  Tips:
 Check any bag you consider buying, regardless of a high price tag or popular brand name.
 
 

Important features
Whether you pick a backpack or wheeled luggage, check these important details:
Shoulder straps:  A sturdy, comfortable shoulder strap is essential. Look for metal hooks, which are stronger than plastic. The strap length should be adjustable on both ends. The rubberized pad attached to the strap should be completely movable. If you like to wear your shoulder strap diagonally (like a bicycle messenger), make sure your shoulder strap can extend long enough to provide you with enough room to lift the bag over your head easily.
 

Seams:  Check for heavy thread and well-finished seams. Do seams get in the way of zippers or other closures?
 

Zippers:  Cheap zippers can break under stress. Look for larger-than-normal zippers. Try all of the zippers to see how easily they run. Zipper pulls attached to the zipper tabs make it easier for you to open and close your zippers.
 

Security options:  Look for zipper tabs that overlap each other so you can insert a small lock. Some bags have built-in locks in the zippers. Some require a small key, others are combination-only. Even if your suitcase is locked, remember to put your name and office address inside.

Pack light
The key to traveling light is to organize and compartmentalize your belongings into packing cubes and stuff sacks.

1.  Pack your clothes.  Challenge yourself to return from your trip having worn every item you packed. Try these tricks, too:
Roll t-shirts, sweaters, and other items that can stand a little wrinkling. Keep rolled items organized in packing cubes, stuff sacks or nylon bags that zip closed. And don't forget an empty bag for laundry.

Pack freshly pressed suits, shirts, or eveningwear in the plastic bags you get from the cleaners. This protects your clothing from moisture and keeps them wrinkle-free.

To prevent serious wrinkles, wrap sport coats, slacks and shirts around the other items you've packed. Pack heavier items, like shoes and hairdryers, at the bottom of your bag. Then lay slacks and long-sleeved shirts over the suitcase with sleeves and pant legs hanging over the sides. Place other clothing (rolled t-shirts and knit items) on top and "wrap" the pant legs and sleeves around them.

 Tip:  A few days before you leave, make a list of everything you think you might need. Revise the list over the next few days, cutting it down to only the essentials.

 Tip:  Choose clothes made in cross-seasonal fabrics. Lightweight wools and silks work best. If you must take a bulky sweater or jacket, wear it on the plane.

 Tip:  Think versatility. Can a t-shirt double as a nightshirt? Can you dress it up with a scarf?
 

2.  Pack your shoes.  Try to get by with just two pairs of shoes. Wear the bulkier pair; pack the lighter one. Stuff shoes with socks so they will retain their shape. You can also pack fragile items inside your shoes.

3.  Pack your toiletry kit.  The standard toiletry bag fits in a small shoebox, and that's about all the space you really need.
Keep it small:  Trial size toiletries from a drugstore are perfect for traveling and take little space.

Avoid surprise spills:  If you'll be flying or driving to a significantly higher elevation, squeeze the excess air out any bottles or tubes. Otherwise, the decrease in outside air pressure may cause these items to leak or explode. To be on the safe side, you may also want to pack these items inside a zip-top plastic bag.

Tip:  If your toiletry kit is not waterproofed, spray it with some 3M ScotchGuard.

4.  Pack your carry-on bag.
Be prepared.  You never know where your luggage will end up, so remember to pack a few essential clothing items and undergarments in your carry-on bag.

Carry on essentials.  Other essentials to pack in your carry-on instead of your suitcase include prescription medications, extra eyeglasses or contacts and their cleaning solutions, important papers and your personal organizer.

Pack your gifts.  If you go bearing gifts, pack them separately in one bag. The airport security squad will be thrilled and you'll spend less time at the x-ray machine.

Guard your laptop computer.  Avoid airport scams, including one that takes place at many airport security checkpoints: You put your bags on the conveyor belt, only to get held up in line by the person in front of you while his partner, on the other side of the checkpoint, takes off with your computer. Never place your laptop on the conveyor belt before the person in front of you clears security. Also, deter would-be thieves by using a laptop bag that isn't immediately identifiable as a laptop bag.
5.  Pack your handbag.  Choose a versatile handbag or small carry-on bag that will work with all of your outfits. Think small, so you're not tempted to carry more than you really need.
 

Keep it simple.  Lighten your wallet by taking only those items you will actually use on your trip. Leave the extra credit cards and membership cards at home.
 

Prepare for the plane ride.  Pack small bottles of hand lotion and eye drops in your handbag. The air on planes has very low relative humidity levels. Bring a small spray bottle filled with water to occasionally humidify the air around you. Other items you might want in your handbag include a personal stereo, book, snacks and paper and pens.

Safeguard valuables.  To avoid becoming a snatch-and-run victim, carry your passport, cash and other important documents in a money belt under your clothing or in a wallet bag across your body. Make two photocopies of your passport, tickets, travelers' cheques and other important documents before your trip. Leave one copy with a trusted friend and take one with you in case your bag is lost or stolen.

Tip:  Pack your handbag so it's easy to access documents when you are at airline, hotel and rental car counters. Built-in organizers and compartments make it possible to eliminate wallets.

Keep the kids happy
Travel by plane or train is exciting for kids, but stressful too. Help them through the trip with lots of little comforts.

Something from home.  Pack a travel backpack for each child. Include a few toys from home as well as some surprises (new crayons, stickers, etc.) that they can discover along the way. Don't forget a few of their favorite snacks.

Prevent separation anxiety.  Make sure each child's bag, including their carry-on backpack, has a tag with the child's name and the cell phone number of both a parent and someone at the child's destination. Teach your child how to ask an airline attendant for help if he or she gets lost.
 

Let them help.  Let each child pack and carry his or her own kid-sized suitcase. This will give them a sense of responsibility and keep them occupied in the airport.

  A picture of a piece of the "Ice Man's" outer garment is shown in the upper left corner. It was once covered with fur which is now missing. It is approximately 5,300 years old. That is 3,300 B.C. or when upper and lower Egypt was first united. Notice the even spacing of the hand stitching.
  Obviously leather has been used by man for thousands of years. It is one of the few things that has stood the test of time because of it's practical benefits. Persons concerned about the environment and recycling should embrace the use of leather because it is a renewable resource. As long as people eat beef instead of soybean substitutes the hides for making leather will be there as a byproduct. It would be as unthinkable to waste this resource as it would be to waste the wood scraps that are made into chip board.
  Leather is a natural material, however modern tanning methods make leather as natural as the chip board mentioned previously or as natural as masonite. The natural benefit of leather, like wood  is that its fibers have grown together rather than having been woven. This is even more true with leather than wood which grows directionally. It is this flexible non woven raw material that is irreplaceable.
  We all know about the grain of wood. When using the word grain in reference to leather we mean the top surface, the strong outer part of the hide, where the hair was.
  The hides are initially treated to stabilize and preserve them, this product is called crust. Finishers and tanneries then buy this to process further. There are many different tanning methods each producing leather with different properties for different uses. This leather is often given additional treatments by leather finishing companies. They may split, sand, finish, plate, emboss, tumble, color, and stuff the leather for use by a special customer. The finisher may specialize in a particular tannage or finish several types.
  Oak tanning is the oldest kind of tannage. The Tannin used in this process was originally obtained from boiling Oak tree bark. In countries where there was no Oak bark, urine was used. Some third world leather tanned in this way was still appearing on the market 20 years ago.

How to Select a Handbag for Bridesmaids
Complete your bridesmaids' look with a stylish handbag that will unify their appearance and allow them to leave their everyday handbags at home.
 
  Steps:
1.   Consider the color of the bridesmaids' dresses. Look for handbags in matching or complementary shades. If you're not trying to match shoes, consider black for a darker color palette and pearl or ivory for a lighter palette.
 
2.   Select a texture and fabric that complements that of the dresses.
 
3.   Choose a style that is simple, yet chic. Consider subtle patterns and minimal ornamentation.
 
4.   Consult your bridesmaids for their ideas if you're not giving the bags as a gift.
 
5.   Shop early. Once you decide on the bridesmaids' dresses, start to consider handbag options. This will allow you enough time to special order if necessary.
 
6.   Talk to your bridal consultant about handbag companies that offer special occasion bags. See if she has catalogues you may refer to.
 
 
  Tips:
 Many handbag designers are now offering handbags in two tones or multi-colors, so you might be able to find a great bag that has a handle or trim that matches the base color of your bridesmaids' dresses.
 
 If you're thinking about something bright or bold, select a color that is no more than three shades lighter or darker than the base color of the dresses.
 
 
  Warnings:
 Consult the handbag manufacturer before having the bags dyed to match a certain color. Many fabrics and trims do not take color well.
