In a typical market, there are ordinary, expensive and luxury accessories. They may be other categories but these three are the ones that define the parameters of goods and services in any market in the world. Goods that are cheap are rarely of good quality, they do not have the fine craftsmanship as luxury items. Those who buy them want their functionality and nothing to do with their aesthetic value.
Those who buy from the expensive range of luxury accessories do so for their quality and durability and a little for their beauty. As for those who opt for the luxury items, this is done for several reasons; aesthetic value, functionality and the durability. Most luxury items have been made with incredible craftsmanship. High-end fashion items for example have been made by hand and this mean they have the highest standards of perfection.
Some of the definers of the quality of luxury accessories are the craftsmanship, the fabric as well as the detailing in the accessories. If you have an accessory, like a scarf made of man-made fibers, like polyester and nylon, you have the low end items. Chances are the designer is not even a name in the fashion industry. Most of these are made in factories to save time. The materials that do not harm the skin, those that feel comfortable to the skin are the natural fibers. If your accessories are made of natural fibers you are one step into close to having high-end accessories in your collection. Other factors will come in; this is not a definite determiner of quality.
As for the craftsmanship, if the process of spinning the yarn in to cloth is long, you have high end fabric. Some of the luxury accessories have been made by hand for generations and continue to do so. This makes them high-end because they are luxurious, natural and less in the market. Many of the modern copied accessories in the market come from the Far East, but they have not defeated the real accessories in quality. Chinese accessories, which have filled the market, are defeated when it comes to resistance to flame and absorbency rates. They may not be able to resist constant washing h and fade since they are dyed commercially. They also have problems when it comes to stretching.
Some of the finest silk accessories have a combination of three qualities. They are natural, have some of the highest craftsmanship and go with the style. The Japanese silk was woven by hand and dyed naturally and when it came to adding the details, it was a meticulous process done by hand. Luxury accessories have the same qualities, but it is the trends in the fashion industry which will determine if that will be referred to as high0end in a certain period.
There was a time when accessories made with animal print were fashionable, and those which were luxurious at the time had to have three qualities. They had to be natural, with impressive craftsmanship and animal print style to be referred to as luxury accessories.
