"Buying a purse today is not an easy matter,"
explains Laurna Lynn Mills, Manager of the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre
location of Sole Mates Family Footwear. "That is why we carry such a
wide variety of handbags, clutches and wallets in the store."
Laurna pointed out that there are three main reasons why a person will
want to buy a purse:
FASHION BAGS, or what Laurna calls "Fun Bags", are the
kind of handbags that a person may simply purchase "just for the fun
of it".
"When a women considers buying a fashion bag, she is usually looking for a way to pick her spirits up. It feels good to buy a new purse
that matches your personality or that matches the way you feel at the time," explained Laurna who is shown holding a Louis Vaton
Replica in the photo above. "I know some women who have dozens of
these fashion bags in their closets and they just take the one that suits
the way they feel at the time. We have them ranging in price from $14.99
to $49.99, so they are affordable and just plain 'fun' to buy."
FINE LEATHER BAGS, are much more durable. The ones that are carried by Sole Mates Family
Footwear are made by Jonelle, Cabrelli, Bagatique and Fiona. "The
fine-leather bags are softer, more durable and last longer than other
leathers that are of an inferior quality," stated Laurna. "Even
the hardware is a superior quality. Women tend to have one or two of these
purses that they use most of the time. They are a bit more practical and
tend to fit in where ever you go. We sell a lot of these that range from
$39 to as high as $129."
EVENING CLUTCHES are the kind of bags that one would purchase
for special events such as parties, graduations, weddings, etc. "We
have a rainbow of colours and styles of these kind of purses that will
match any outfit that you are wearing," said Laurna. "This is a
necessary accessory that adds brilliance to an evening dress. If you are
going anywhere fancy, you just have to pick the right handbag and we have
them ranging in price from $19.99 to $29.99."
Whether you are buying a purse to match your personality, your
lifestyle or your evening dress, it appears as if you can't go wrong by
stopping by to talk to Laurna or the rest of the staff or just to look
over their stock. Over 1000 satisfied customers in Valley East and Capreol
are already carrying handbags that were once on display at Sole Mates
Family Footwear. |
