What to Look for When Buying a Purse on Amazon
Material
As with any retailer, the bags offered by Amazon can come in a variety of materials, ranging from leather to canvas to nylon. It all comes down to taste, but Brown warns that “synthetic bags can look great in photographs but end up looking cheap in person, so this is where reviews will come in handy.”
Reviews
“Take a look at the reviews whenever considering a purchase on Amazon,” Brown advises. “Remember that Amazon is a marketplace built on convenience, and quality control is unique to each seller.
