Designer Handbags and Luxury Goods: How They Are Insured
Quick answer
Designer handbags and luxury goods are usually insured within home contents, and higher-value pieces may need to be specified to be covered for their full value. Owners often check whether cover applies away from home, how items are valued and whether receipts and authenticity documents are needed.
