Designer Inspired Handbags: Simply Marvelous Beauty

2010-10-06T00:41:00.000-07:00

Everyone - man and woman - can find a use for a handbag; a good handbag is even better. The three most important steps in any handbags life is the designer (the idea person: the parent), the manufacturer (the creator), and the retailer (the seller). Each step of the way is arguably as important as the other steps. All handbags will have reached this step sometime in its fabrication process. When a designer seems to have been touched by a higher being to create a design that is a little slice of heaven, the designer gains a better reputation as a handbag designer and brings you more and more of the designs you like. Often, the popularity of a designer will increase the price of the handbags that designer design. Then along comes those designer inspired handbags.

I have heard it said that imitation is the ultimate form of a compliment. Perhaps there is truth in this saying. When a designer's handbags are so popular that they require a replica, imitation, inspired, or fake designers to create something similar, that is the biggest achievement. These designers change the handbag in a slight way sometimes as easy as changing the initials used on the handbag. For example, Louis Vuitton always has a signature LV on his handbags, some designer inspired handbags may have LW. Coach is another good example. All Coach handbags have a double C design on the fabric, designer inspired handbags may have a CG instead of the double C.

These handbags never claim to be authentic. To do so is illegal and a travesty to you and the original designer. However, replicas and inspired handbags meet all requirements for staying legal. They offer you design, fashion, and style at an affordable rate. Most people can not easily afford $10000 USD for that exquisite handbag. A designer inspired handbag may be able to get you the same look and feel of that handbag for around $100 USD.

Maybe you are wondering why anyone would want a designer handbag if they can get a lookalike for so cheap. Well, the keyword is "cheap". The designer handbags offer a higher quality in material and fabrication. A designer inspired handbag may look beautiful and sexy, but usually the quality is significantly lower than the original. The inspired handbag may have a weaker thread or weaker hems, or a replica handbag could have a low quality of closures and clasps that will rust with time; you should always check those straps or handle for loose strings. Fraying thread is definitely the enemy of those designer inspired handbags.

Shopping for inspired handbags can be a lot of fun if you know where to shop. One of the most popular places to shop these days is the Internet. Surprisingly, the Internet has caused a boom in the handbag industry. Of course, replica and inspired handbags fall into that same class. When you shop online for your designer or replica handbag needs, you should always check for the reputation of the company or person you are purchasing from before you buy. There are a lot of horror stories on the Internet. Of course, you can choose to find your designer replica handbags a little closer to home with any number of those specialty stores that are ready to meet your every need.

Suede Handbag - How to Take Good Care of It

2009-09-10T16:42:00.000-07:00

A suede handbag is the perfect fashion accessory today and it has become a dream possession of every fashion conscious woman. However, since the suede leather is created from the lower layer of the lambskin leather, it tends t get dirty very easily as it absorbs dirt and moisture at a rapid rate. To avoid such problems with your suede handbags and prolong their life, you must follow some simple steps to ensure that you are taking good care of them. With proper regular care, you will be able to use your favorite suede handbags for many seasons to come.

You will require a few important things to take care of your favorite suede handbag. To clean and protect your handbags from dirt and moisture, you will require a suede brush, suede protector, suede cleaner and a hard rubber eraser. It is best to buy a suede cleaner and water repellent along with your suede handbag to ensure good care of your new handbag from the very beginning. You will need to spray two layers of the suede protector on your handbag to ensure proper protection. It is advisable that you complete this procedure on the outside and in the absence of strong wind, so that your suede handbag easily absorbs the protector liquid.

For the daily care of your handbag, you can brush it gently with the suede brush to keep away dust and other particulate matter from the surface of the bag. However, do remember to brush in one direction only. Multi-directional brush strokes will damage the texture of your suede handbag. If possible, read the instruction booklet that every manufacturer provides with their suede handbags, which contains instructions about the proper brushing technique to maintain your handbag's condition.

The most important aspect that you must consider while taking care of suede handbags, is that you must keep them dry. Moisture harms the texture and softness of suede, damaging your handbag considerably. If you wish to clean stains off your suede handbag, you can use the hard rubber eraser to rub off the stain off its surface. Under no circumstances, should you use soap on your handbag. Always remember to stuff paper in it when you want to keep it in storage so that it is able to retain its original shape. These are the few simple steps, which you must follow to take good care of your suede handbag.

How to Spot a Fake Louis Vuitton (LV) Handbag

2009-07-26T18:49:00.001-07:00

Many people want to own an authentic Louis Vuitton purse or a LV handbag because of its unique and luxurious design. If you want to get a genuine authentic Louis Vuitton purse or handbag and you don't want to be ripped off by purchasing a fake one from a dishonest seller I have a few tips and guidelines to show you how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton purse or handbag. Depending on where you make your purchase, if you want to buy you "LV" Louis Vuitton handbag from a fifth avenue high end department store such as Neiman Marcus, Saks or Holt Renfrew then most likely your purchase will be safe. But many people like myself want to go treasure hunting and look for handbags at a more reasonable price. Places such as Auction, Ebay and other online stores have many listing of handbags and purses of all the designer brand names you can think of and out of the many daily listings, a portion of them are fake replicas. Some of the listings are actually good deals that people just can't miss. Anyway please read through the lists below to learn a few things about this one and only one, unique designer brand handbag so that you can spot a treasure and scope out the fakes, make a fun shopping experience.

Guidance #1:

As with all other designer brand handbags you must know the hardware of the brand. For more information about a particular handbag or purse style, you can check the Louis Vuitton website or visit your local boutique for the information about the style. For example, you should find out if the product have a date code, should it have one and where in the handbag if it does, what the particular style is supposed to be lined in, whether it should have feet, if it should have a d-ring inside and where. For example if you find a Speedy LV with a lining other than a brownish cotton canvas lining, you should question its authenticity because the lining of a LV Speedy has never came with other linings than the browning cotton mentioned above. Also a LV purse or handbag has never been made with a brown suede lining, even in the vintage pieces. Check the zipper and zipper pulls, purse snaps, buckles and other hardware you can find on the handbag, they all should have the LV branded on them. The Zipper pulls should be brass hardware and heavy to the touch and feel. If you have any LV monogram in a crease it is fake. If you find any "LV" crooked or in the stitch it is fake. Louis Vuitton has a passion for perfection for each of their handcrafted purse or handbag since the 1850s. They carefully design where the LV should be place on the bag and the LVs are always positioned on the bag with balance. If you have a ruler you can actually measure the LV from one corner to the next and the position from both end and top and bottom are always very close if not the same. LV handbags are made of canvas with cowhide leather straps and sidings, the edge of the leather will be dyed red. After the handbag is used for a few weeks, the leather will oxidize and the color will fade and become more brownish. If you are buying a used handbag, ask how long the bag is used and ask for picture of the bag to see if the leather has began to fade. If not, walk away from it. One critical thing that you can miss when checking a LV handbag or LV purse is the stitching. The Louis Vuitton handbags have the same number of stitches on all similar compartments. For example, if you count the number of stitch on the stitching of the handle or strap, count the stitch on both sides of the bag and also on both sides of the same patch. If one side has four stitches the chances are the other side will have four stitches. If not, it is very likely that the piece is a fake. The seam and stitches are always perfectly even, so if you find one that has uneven seam, it is not a real thing.

Guidance #2:

Know the pricing. Louis Vuitton Handbags or LV purses come in a price range of almost $400 to well into the $1,000s. So if you find a deal for less than $300. That is not a deal but a fake. Is simple, think about it, if you paid thousands for a handbag and it is an LV handbag, would you sell it for less than a few hundred bucks, even if it is used? Every LV is a master piece and its owners have pride in themselves for ever owning one, am I right girls? So yeh, you won't find an LV for less than the price range listed above. Unless you need the money to save lives, you don't rip yourself off like that. At least I won't. So next time when you are looking for a Louis Vuitton Handbag or any other designer handbag, remember that the price should be reasonable. If the original piece is sold for $1,000 in the store, don't expect to get for half the price, even if it is used. Louis Vuitton bags are limited in productions for each piece and so no one is stupid enough to sell it at such deep discount. Unless it is ripped, damaged or is a stolen good.

Guidance #3:

Knowing where and who is a authorized seller of the Louis Vuitton Purses. If you find some guys selling the bags on some streets or some no name stores along with some no name or cheap handbags, you can bet that the piece is a fake. You can find real genuine Louis Vuitton handbags online such as Ebay but there are also many fake replicas. If you find a good deal, check the seller's feedback, ask questions about the bag and the refund policy. You should also ask Ebay, Paypal or your credit card company about fraud protection. You can find real genuine LV purses online from the authorized seller at www.eluxury.com

Guidance #4:

Louis Vuitton handbag might have upside-down LV and other monograms on one side of the bag and perfectly up right on the other. This is perfectly normal depending on the style. Some LV purse are crafted with one large single piece of canvas and so when they fold the canvas into a handbag, one side will have perfectly normal display of LV logo and monogram and on the other side, the LV and monograms will be upside down. So when you see an LV with this description, it is not necessarily a fake.

Guidance #5:

Check the LV tag inside the handbag. It should be in a perfect rectangular shape and the "Louis Vuitton" name and "Paris" is carved in deeply into the tag. If you find an LV handbag with un-perfect rectangular shape tag inside the purse, or fading engraved "Louis Vuitton" name, it is a fake.

Keep these simple but critical details in mind before making your next purchase. I will keep updating this guide regularly to share my research and findings with you. I want all of you to make wise decisions and not to get ripped off. If you are to buy LV purses from eBay like I have, make sure you contact the seller about his/her guarantee and refund policy. Check the listing for eBay coverage against fraudulent transaction and items. Finally check with Paypal to see what kind of protection you'll received by making the payment through their system. Generally speaking, eBay together with Paypal offer excellent protection for buyers. But if you want to avoid all the unnecessary hassles and headaches in recovering your money follow the guides provided above to minimize your chance of being duped. Ok, good luck and happy shopping.

Coach Handbag Outlet Locations - Coach Factory Outlet Store

2009-07-16T20:05:00.000-07:00

Making the decision to buy a new handbag is never an easy decision for a woman. Purses come in many different shapes, many different sizes, an infinite number of materials and textures as well as an array of colors. Then of course, many of us must consider the price, especially when you're considering purchasing a designer handbag. At times, choosing the perfect purse can be an incredibly lengthy and frustrating experience.

Fortunately, women today have the opportunity to take advantage of a broad selection of shapes, sizes, textures and colors while saving tons of dollars in the process. In more recent years, Coach has introduced their Coach Factory Outlet Stores which house an incredible inventory of coach handbags, wallets and super popular accessories. Coach products have long been one of the most desired brands in the designer clothing industry and the outlet stores give shoppers the chance to look just as glamorous as Hollywood, but at a fraction of the cost.

Items arrive in the outlet stores when they are not sold in traditional Coach retail stores or are slightly damaged in manufacturing or shipping. Typically, the "flaws" are unnoticed and often would have been realized through normal wear-and-tear anyhow. Often it could be something as minor as a slight scuff on the leather in an obscure place or a scratch on the metal buckle that holds the purse strap. Because of this, visiting a Coach outlet store can deliver you a discounted coach purse at a significantly lower price.

Women's Handbags - To Be Or Not to Be Leather

2009-07-14T16:07:00.000-07:00

Leather handbags are the most popular type of handbags for a very simple reason. Leather handbags are the most durable handbags on the market. A handbag made from leather can assure its owner that it will last for a long time in the future. Therefore, if you are looking for a handbag that will be with you for a long time, leather is the way to go.

The look of leather handbags make them attractive to any "fashionista". The ability to make elegant and fantastic handbags from genuine leather that compliment all of your outfits and ensembles makes the leather handbag the pinnacle of all handbags.

Leather handbags come in all manner of styles and colors. The sheer number of options to choose from make it next to impossible for anyone to see every leather handbag that is available to purchase online. When shopping for a leather handbag, you should make a list of the manufacturers and designers that you like as well as the styles and use you will have for the handbag.

Using the internet to search for the right leather handbag is a good place to start. All of the styles of handbags and manufacturers' deals are at your fingertips. A quick search online, using your list, will help you narrow down the number of bags you will ultimately decide from. Be careful to remember that since they are made of leather, they will necessarily be more expensive than their non-leather cousins.

If price is a big deterrent then settling for a faux leather bag or a leather bag that is made of lower quality leather will obviously be the choice you will need to make.

If you do your research and buy the right handbag, you will ensure yourself of many years of functional and fashionable happiness.

A New Handbag - How to Convince Your Man You Really Do Need a New Bag

2009-07-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

I'm sure we all have had this conversation: "do you really need a new bag? You have a closet filled with bags already and you hardly use those..." and when you try to explain he's looking back at you like your speaking a language he doesn't understand. This is probably true so lets explain things so men will understand why we do need a new handbag!

Any man will see that camouflage is a great thing in certain situations. There is a good reason the Army uses it as it is all about blending in with your surroundings. Just to make a point, you can't bring your gorgeous red bag to a funeral.

I'm sure your man has a favorite team, or one in every sport. To make sure we don't forget which team he supports he watches the game wearing a jersey (and probably all matching accessories even if he doesn't call it accessories). We don't support a team we have our favorite designer and need to have at least one bag in every style.

You don't wear your winter clothes to the beach on a hot summers day unless you like to overheat. Most men like science so he will understand that black attracts heat so that's why you can't find a black beach bag even if your life depended on it. A canvas bag in the middle of a snow storm isn't a good thing either so this is why we need a bag for every season.

If he would take his precious car to the garage to have it fixed he wouldn't leave it there if the mechanic was wearing a suit. First impressions do matter and you have to look the part to for people to trust you. That why you can't show up at a job interview with just any bag it has to look the part too.

If he comes back with the reply "who cares about this" well half the world population is female and we do care!

Handbags High End Fashion - The Enormous Influence Of The Designer Handbag Brands

2009-07-10T18:06:00.000-07:00

The handbag stays an hot item and so there are a lot of women these days that cherish quite a collection already.

For each moment there is an other bag because, just like shoes, handbags give you this extra something when you wear them, it gives you the finishing touch. More often then with shoes, you notice the handbags from the latest collections in the streets, with whom their respective owners show off. Next to the real designer bags with brand names as: Monogram Glossy Sheepest (Louis Vuitton), Cocco's Croco (Chanel), Héloise (Chloe), The Downtown (YSL), ect. ...,in no time, almost, perfect copies are brought to the shops by fashion-concerns like Zara.

The consumer these days is very much in touch with the high end fashion segment, and the influence of the designer brands is enormous, because also in the bag collection of unknown manufacturers, more or less their influence is visible.

From handbag, over big casual bag, to envelope-bag. Also for the coming winter 2008 to 2009, the different startingpoints for the new collections are very attractive and different. Next to the more strict city bag there are big, nonchalant casual models, that do not make a bad impression as modern city shopper purse as well.

The fashion bag stays very big and is carried by the hand or is carried under the arm. Only in the more sporty models, sporadicly shoulder and cross-over models are brought to the market. A suggestion for the modern women, whom likes to adjust her dresses to her accessories, and vice versa, and whom likes to buy more then one model per season, are the effect-full and noticeable envelope-bags, whom by the choice of material and the volume are a pleasant surprise.

From shiny to stitched bags. The materials are next to the new volumes a trough taste maker. No big easy noticeable designs, but full attention for beautiful, rich kinds of leather. Most of all shiny finishes will be a true hype coming winter 2008 to 2009, and in each collection you will find several
models in varnish (from shiny varnish, some times with an under lying print or structure, to eye-catching, iris-sing "magic balls" varnish).

Next to that all kinds of metallics continue their presence: red copper, the new "winter gold", completed with silver and platinum. Metallics in effect-full colours varying from shiny to not shiny at all, are being found in young looking collections.

Also degraded materials (from dark to light brushed or sprayed), de look off Prada for the past winter season 2007, shall in all kinds of ways be found on attractive small bags and big handbags.

Crock-prints in diverse designs shall be found also on city-bags, and give them a luxurious flair.

In casual and sportive models shiny leather is mixed with non shiny materials, like suede, and textile like cotton, flannel and nylon. Also not shiny / shiny combinations are being used in an attractive way. New and dynamic are all kinds of stitched, cotton-ised purses, manufactured in nylon and in leather.

What is a Designer Handbag Anyway?

2009-07-02T21:33:00.001-07:00

The question then becomes: what is a handbag? What is a designer handbag considered to be? Most people in the fashion industry would describe a designer handbag as a handbag, made of any sort of material, that is created by a well known fashion designer. Names of famous fashion designers include:

* Christian Dior

* Gucci

* Coach

* Louis Vuitton

* Jimmy Choo

* Fendi

These are just a few of the very long list of well known fashion designers who create not only beautiful outfits, but also amazing handbags.

What Style?

There are four main styles of handbags that you must know about before you begin your designer handbag shopping expedition.

Over the shoulder - This is the type of bag that most men think of when you say the word "handbag" to them. It's the style of purse that every woman had in the 80's and is worn by being slung over your shoulder.

Over the arm - This style of handbag is worn over the forearm or is held in the hands. It usually features rolled handles for comfort's sake.

Clutch - A clutch handbag is one that is held in the hands and is carried around. It is usually the type of designer handbag that you would find a celebrity who was walking down the red carpet carrying.

Combination - A combination handbag is one that can be more than just one style of bag. For instance you may find a clutch that can be turned into an over the shoulder bag, or a Louis Vuitton replica handbag that can be worn over the arm or over the shoulder.

Price Range

The other thing to know about designer handbags before you go shopping is the price range. In general, designer handbags are just as expensive as anything else you'd find with a designer's label slapped onto it. Designer handbags are often sold at outrageous prices for one reason and one reason only: women pay the price for them. If they didn't, these designers would never charge thousands of dollars for a bag.

Replica designer handbags, however, make it easy to be able to afford any style of handbag you'd like, without having to make such a huge dent in your wallet. The Damier Canvas Hampstead PM is a classic Louis Vuitton handbag that many women adore. The price of it in a boutique, however, is prohibitive, but a replica version will allow you to be able to own the handbag you want without paying a high price.

Handbag Size, We Definitely Know What We Want And Lifestyle Has All To Do With It.

2009-06-19T16:14:00.001-07:00

Handbags are very hot these days. They’re everywhere with so many different styles, shapes, colors and embellishments. They’ve seem to become an accessory item like jewelry. You can’t have enough of them and we need them to match the outfit like our jewelry. They have become so much a part of the outfit ensemble. Our lifestyles are forever changing, and with this, so do our handbags. In working in the industry, I have been amazed at how personal a handbag is and how so very different we are in what we choose to carry. Where do you fall with your handbags in what size that you carry?

I have young children but I am past the diaper bag stage. I still tend to carry the medium to larger size bag when the kids are around because I always get the “here mom, carry this” where-ever we go. Drives you crazy doesn’t it!! On the other hand, I’m tired of the big thing so I like the smaller size bags to feel feminine again. They are so handy especially on those ladies night out or those rare dates with my husband. Did I say rare! We like to look good and not be overpowered by our purse. That brings us into those small handbags. I found so many women to my surprise like to carry them. It dawned on me that we live in a very professional and busy world. We girl’s need to carry the basics at all times and that little purse fits the need. We live such busy lifestyles and are always on the go. We don’t want anything big and clunky in the way to slow us down any more than we need to be. If you are carrying a briefcase, portfolios, or your laptop, as well or other business items, you definitely don’t need another large item. They also come in handy in fabric for business travelers. Compact for the suitcase but look great for the dinners and business meetings. Now, those super small evening bags I just haven’t figured it out why anyone bothers. You can maybe fit your lipstick in them if you are lucky. I guess it is all in the look. I am the practical type so I don’t get it! There are plenty of reasonably sized evening bags that look great. Now ladies, I must say that too many of you buy the little handbags when you should not. I’ve seen them so crammed with stuff that they look distorted. Break down and buy a larger bag. It will look much neater and we will see the great handbag you’re carrying and not a mess.
Gone are the days of the moms carrying the huge bag with everything in it including the kitchen sink. You know, the one’s carrying the first aid kit, sewing kit, scissors etc. just as my mom does. Oh, and they need lots of pockets for all that stuff so they have a harder time finding the keys because they don’t know which pocket it’s in this time. My mom’s a seasoned grandmother and I guess she feels she still needs to carry everything. “Just in case!” There are plenty of our mothers/grandmothers out there that you know exactly what I’m talking about. I have women buy the cute nice size handbag and then the huge one for their mom. Do you fall into this huge bag syndrome?

Speaking of moms, let us not forget the dedicated new moms of the world. I honor all of you because I’ve been there done that. These are the women who give up their handbags altogether for the diaper bag. You carry so much around for the kids that you just stuff your wallet in the diaper bag. There’s no time for yourself so the lipstick is definitely dropped from the contents of what you carry. Occasionally you try to take back your womanly status and carry a purse but realize fast what a hassle. What we give up for those little blessings! Diaper bags have changed so much over the years. There are so many incredible looking diaper bags that really don’t look like a diaper bag. They are useful, because that’s important, but great looking.

That brings us to the younger set, oh to be young again. Teenagers and young adults have a mind of their own and a definite taste of their own. They are coming into themselves of who they are and what they want from life. It better be a very in and stylish handbag. Don’t dare buy a handbag for them unless they’ve seen it and asked for it. Guarantied you’ll be returning it after you’ve given it to them. They definitely like the smaller cute stylish ones. Not too fancy or stand-outish types but very in. No large one’s that might make them feel old or like a mom, not ready for it. The college set will carry the larger bag only for books in school. They appeal to the feminine side instead of the backpacks.

I ask you, where do you fall in the world of handbag size? Or are you like me and like them all and got to have them all. I guess you can call it the handbag fetish! We talked about size; let’s look next time for my next article on what’s out there and there is plenty out there.

New Handbag Designs from Gucci

2009-06-17T20:24:00.001-07:00

Well, it’s that time of the year again. All of the big design houses are releasing their new designs to the hungry masses, and Gucci is no exception. Unless you have been stranded on a desert isle for the last thirty years, you have undoubtedly heard of Gucci. They have been reigning over the fashion world for a great many years, and not totally without warrant. Gucci makes top quality, stylish apparel and accessories for the distinguishing shopper.

Guccio Gucci founded this fashion empire in Florence, Italy in 1906. Originally, their core business was the production of leather products, particularly saddlery. By 1938, the House of Gucci had grown into a reputable company producing a wide variety of products, and they opened their first retail shop on the Via Condotti in Rome.

Gucci’s new line of handbags for the Fall/Winter 2005/2006 season is yet another spectacular addition to their fine line of designer accessories. My particular favorite from this collection is called “Braided Straps”. It is constructed from the beautiful patterned material Gucci has become so well known for, and is beige, ebony, and white in color. The trim and straps are crafted from fine white leather, and you guess it……the straps are braided! I am utterly in love with this bag.

I have also taken a liking to the “Bardot” model. It is a stunning beauty much like its namesake, Brigitte Bardot. This purse is crafted from warm, supple, dark brown leather with a wonderful pattern embossed into it. The metal clasp is very slick, and appears to be very durable. It comes with an 8 inch shoulder belt, and the trademark Gucci logo is stamped into all of the polished metal hardware.

It is always so difficult for a young lady to choose the perfect purse. We seem to collect them the way boys collect comic books. I have given up on trying to curb my desire for new handbags, and Gucci bags are truly the ones I love most! I quite literally lust after their purses. I love being the envy of ladies everywhere as I strut down the block with my Gucci handbags, pretending that I am a supermodel on the runway. Only Gucci has that effect on me!

UK Handbags - A Good “Handbagging”

2009-06-16T14:14:00.000-07:00

The Handbag sector covers handbags with or without handles and/or shoulder straps, designed to carry everyday personal belongings. Occasional evening bags are also included as handbags. The market can be divided into firstly, traditional real leather handbags, produced from mechanically or chemically processed animal pelts, and secondly, synthetic fabric handbags, constructed mainly from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane. Of the former, the highest quality handbags are made of full grain leather and the lowest quality handbags made of white split leather.

It is estimated the UK handbag industry is worth £1 billion and is growing steadily in value. This growth in handbag sales is put down to women regarding handbags as essential, having more than one, co-ordinating them with outfits as fashion accessories and choosing different sizes or styles to suit the occasion..

The UK once had a thriving leather handbag industry centred largely in Southwark, East London and Walsall. However, as with all industries in the UK, decline set in from lack of investment, the arrival of synthetic fabrics and the influx of cheap imports. These days, what is left of the UK handbag industry concentrates on high quality and design. Half of the UK handbag imports from the EU come from Italy, with France and Spain major handbag exporters to the UK. From outside the EU, predictably nearly 90% of handbags come from China, although India exports a significant amount of leather handbags the UK.

The high end of the UK handbag market thrives because buyers realise if looked after, the leather will age well, and buying good quality is a worthwhile investment. Italy is renowned for its fine leather, with Tuscan leather particularly prized. Fashion Houses Gucci and Prada have Tuscan roots.

Current trends within the handbag sector are for handbags to be made of tweed and wool in an imitation of clothing. The Leading supplier of leather for handbags is Pittards, who report a growth in demand for more colourful and textured leather. A continuing trend is the in-corporation of pockets for mobile phones and other electrical gadgets.

Brighton Purses: The New Face of Handbags

2009-06-16T14:11:00.001-07:00

In 1991, the Brighton brand was born in California. Brighton is probably most well known for the one thing that makes this relatively new company so extremely unique and therefore popular: head to toe coordination. With the help of Brighton you can match your sunglasses to your lipstick case; match your fingernails to your earrings; match your socks to your handbag. Whatever you choose to coordinate, Brighton is here to help make your ever desire a reality. Brighton purses were added to the popular company at the end of 1993.

Perhaps something that makes the company itself unique is its warranty. Brighton has a warranty that states that you are protected from faulty workmanship and/or structure defects for an entire year from the original purchase date. Of course, this warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, or negligence. In addition, the warranty is not transferable from one owner to the next. Only the original owner is under warranty.

Choosing A Perfect Designer Handbag

2009-06-14T18:27:00.001-07:00

There are of course many different kinds of handbag on the market, and choosing the perfect designer handbag is rarely an easy or a quick decision. Finding the right bag, however, is vital to achieving the look you are aiming for, and the right purse can make virtually any outfit look great.

Every woman of course understands the value of a great designer handbag, and a purse is much more than just a safe place to stash money and other valuables. The right designer handbag is as much a fashion statement as any other part of the outfit, and a great designer bag has a lot to say about the taste, style and sophistication of the wearer.

Of course when it comes to shopping for the perfect designer handbags it is important to exercise plenty of caution. The very fact that designer handbags are enjoying such popularity has also meant an increase in the number of fakes, and popular and expensive name brands like Brighton, Coach, Fendi and XOXO are among the most frequently copied.

Buying one of these cheap designer knockoffs is far more than just a waste of money, and it is all too easy to get taken. The materials used in the manufacture of cheap designer copies are usually substandard, and that means that the purse you buy will not be able to stand up to repeated use. A genuine designer handbag, on the other hand, should be able to last for many years of use, and this can make the genuine article a far better value in the long run.

There are a number of important things to look for when it comes to buying a fine designer purse or handbag. One of the most important things to look at is the quality of the fine details. Looking at these small details can tell you a lot about the quality and workmanship that went into the manufacture of the purse, so it pays to look beyond the designer name on the front of the bag.

For instance, the stitching around the seams of the handbag can tell you a great deal about whether or not it is the genuine article. While a genuine product from a fine company like Fendi or Coach will be of obviously high quality, stitching that appears to be uneven or inferior is often the first sign of a fake product. Likewise, the interior detailing will be elegant and classic on a genuine designer purse, but it may appear shoddy on a knockoff. It pays to look at these details carefully in order to make sure you are truly getting the best product for your money.

After all, there are many different designers of handbags these days, and each designer bag will have its own unique set of features. It is important to choose a bag that is not only stunning and beautiful, but practical and affordable as well. There are designer purses and handbags perfect for virtually any taste and budget, ranging from bags that cost only about $100 to ones so expensive only the wealthiest can afford them. It is important to shop carefully and to make sure the bag you want suits your budget as well as your unique taste.

4 Ways To Spot A Fake Louis Vuitton

2009-06-11T14:33:00.000-07:00

You can Buy Authentic Louis Vuitton items on ebay as long as you do some research. In this article I will go through 4 ways to ensure you're not getting the short end of the stick!

**1**

Know the company: Louis Vuitton has been around since 1854.

Louis Vuitton Does not Discount, not even end of the year sales not at saks, Neiman Marcus nordstrom etc...

Louis Vuitton does not wholesale, the only place to find Brand new LV is on Ebay, eluxury or LouisVuitton.com

Louis Vuitton does not have any outlets or secondaries. If you find a problem with a LV bag they will usually accept returns. They do not Hand the bag down to an outlet, they simply destroy the bag.

**2**

Know the person selling the items:

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SELLERS- Well obviously if they are getting a large amount of negative feed back on ebay, they are more than likely selling fakes... Never a good thing.

PRIVATE FEEDBACK SELLERS- Why would anyone want to keep their feedback private? The only ones that have something to hide are the ones who have negative feedback, usually when I see these I just pass on by.

ZERO FEEDBACK SELLERS- People that have Zero feedback are obviously the new customers ebay has recruited. A lot of times you can wait for a period of time and see how they progress. It really is up to you if you want to give them a try. Just remember its your hard earned money.

**3**

Know the Date code:

Louis Vuitton uses what you would call production code. This code is for their own purpose. It does give some sort of clue as to how old the bag is or where it was made. The codes on them are not unique, there are some that have the same number. Since the early 90's this code has been marked by 2 Letters followed by 4 numbers.

**4**

Get Pictures:

While on ebay, do not be afraid to email the seller asking them for pictures of the front, back,sides, lining, anything you can come up with. Not too long ago, a good friend of mine briefly spoke with a louis vuitton representative. She was told a really easy way to spot a fake Louis Vuitton is to look at the outer seams of a purse. A real Louis Vuitton purse will not have the "LV" initials shortened in any way, so if you see a Louis Vuitton purse selling for hundreds, but the seam you only see a half or cut off "LV" Do Not Buy It! Unless you want a fake. Take these tips and apply them.

Handbag. The Right Style That Suits

2009-06-10T16:21:00.001-07:00

As we all known a handbag is an essential item for all women and it is becoming more difficult for us to choose the right one because of the amount of different styles and shapes now available. But it is important that when you are selecting a new handbag you look for one that suits your body type.

Whilst over size and large handbags are ideal for the tall and slim amongst us a smaller handbag can make you look even taller. There it is preferable that you select a small one and the most suitable kind for tall, thin women is either a clutch, over size or shoulder bag.

Whilst shorter women should be looking at small handbags at all times. A larger handbag can be overpowering and make them look even shorter and looking for a tight fitting short handbag which is held against the body will make them look taller.

However, if you one of the luck ones who is blessed with a curvaceous body then opt for a medium sized handbag which hangs just above your waist. Not only will it accentuate your waistline but it will make your body look even more flattering than it already is. Yet women who are of a plus size should avoid handbags with short straps and short handbags at all times, but carrying a larger, wider bag they are making themselves look smaller.

You will find that there are many classifications of handbags now available from the shoulder, to the hand held, to back packs, tote bags and the clutch. You will usually find that a should bag comes in a much larger size than most handbags and will always be worn over the shoulder. Not only do they come in a variation of shapes and sizes but they also provide you with more space inside as well as being very stylish at the same time.

However handle handbags which come with straps or handles are normally held in the hand and used as a fashion accessory only. They are often smaller in comparison to many other handbags. But if you are looking for something to use when out in the evening, say going to a party or a nightclub then a clutch handbag will probably be your best choice as they are small and need to be held in the hand at all times. Whilst the tote bag is specifically designed to be used for casual purposes, they usually come with one or two compartments which will provide you with enough space for all items you wish to put inside.

Then we come to back packs, the staid item of any student as they can carry their books with ease in one of these and because it has 2 straps which are placed on each shoulder the weight inside is balanced equally.

The handheld handbags, with straps or handles, are held only in the hand. Used for fashion purposes and for strolling, these handheld handbags are smaller compared to the other handbags. The tote bags are mainly used for casual purposes. With a simple color and one or two compartments, these tote handbags provide a lot of space. They are big bags and fall around the elbow, in the middle of the body.

But at the end of the day the type of handbag you use will depend completely on your own sense of style and taste and also when you will be using it or the place you will be taking it to. It is advisable to select a handbag that suits your mood and personality.

The Power Of A Picture Handbag

2009-06-08T20:39:00.000-07:00

Almost every woman has a handbag. It is one of the essential things to carry around when you go to the office, to the church, or even when you're just shopping around. The search for the perfect handbag is one of the most common problems that women encounter. Think it's funny? Well, to most women it is not. The process of selecting the right handbag can be a daunting task.

Seldom can you find women without a handbag. And this is true from professional women to the ordinary ones. And most of the time, their handbags compliment the dress that they usually wear.
The handbag has a certain magnetic power that is probably why most women can't leave their homes without carrying a handbag. Women carry all sorts of things like make-ups, lipsticks, perfumes, and many 'little things' that only women enjoy carrying. Where else are they to put those things but in a handbag. Aside from handbags, you can also find a purse or a cosmetic bag inside it.

So you see, when you say handbag, the first thing that probably comes into your mind are women; or is it the other way around? Nevertheless, these two go along well with each other.

The newest trend today in women's handbags is the so called photo/picture handbag. It is named so because of the picture that you can find on the bag itself. It is now possible to purchase a personally customized handbag.

If you haven't been shopping for a new bag lately, maybe it's time that you catch up on the latest things offered now in the market.

Picture handbags are gaining a lot of popularity. With these bags, you can actually choose what picture to incorporate in the bag. It may be a picture from a favorite movie scene, or personal pictures of family and friends.

The thing is you are free to choose which picture to put in the bag. It is not a simple process though, so you need to hire professional help or simply purchase directly from a manufacturer.

First step is to choose which picture or photo to incorporate in the handbag; then select the handbag design. It would help to know that tote and bucket style bags are more appropriate to use for picture handbags. These bags come in different shapes and sizes. The larger the bag, the more costly it will become.

Aside from tote and bucket bags, you can also have pictures embedded in a beach or diaper bag. Most picture handbags have pictures printed on only one side, but if you wish to have both sides contain pictures, you can make a request. Expect to pay more money anyway.

If you want, your petite bags, cosmetic bags and purses can also be turned into photo/picture bags that will match your handbag.

Owning even just one picture bag will prove to be a good investment. You can actually say that you've been creative enough to choose the particular design of your handbag, and not only that, it has an added personal touch.

Spending a certain amount of money on your picture handbag is nothing compared to your unending search for the perfect handbag that will suit your needs. Now, you can have a handbag that will carry your personal signature in it.

Current Handbag Affairs - Limiting Designer Handbag Sales & Heavy Purse Concerns

2009-06-06T15:26:00.001-07:00

January 2008 Designer handbag woes of the month. Warnings are on Television, online and on the news. Everywhere you surf or shop, you can read about or hear about two current issues concerning a woman's handbag:

1. Health issues concerning women who carry a heavy handbag.

2. Limiting designer handbags sales imposed by the department stores.

Do you think it's a coincidence? First, we hear about how unhealthy handbags are becoming, and then we are told we can't buy as many as we want. It is all quite humorous.

FIRST issue - Health Concerns and A Heavy Handbag.

The concern of health related issues around carrying a heavy handbag has been on T.V. talk shows, the news and online. When was the last time anyone wrote a story or news flash about the weight a Pharmaceutical Salesperson lugs around on his/her Doctor office visits? These folks use bags on wheels the load is so heavy! And, they do it everyday from the trunk of a car or van, up flights of stairs, on elevators, down long hallways, through crowds and some even inside and out of taxis. Or, what about the lap top industry taking notice about the weight people carry around all day to do their jobs? Most women carry a large bag because they commute to work and need extra items to make it through the day. Or, they are too busy to clean out the bag before they leave the house. Students have been lugging heavy book bags for year. What's their health concerns? You may think it is a joke, but some women like carrying a large purse because it makes them feel smaller. There are a lot of big women who think they look strange carrying anything less than a large bag. A bag plus normal contents equals normal handbag weight.

There are many large handbag styles that weight little. Chanel, even with its long chain straps, uses light weight lamb leather and vinyl in its designs. The USA brand of Tano all-leather bags are light weight considering their size. Gucci uses monogram fabric in their construction making the bag weight tolerable.

Women who commute and travel to and from work everyday enjoy taking a bottle of water, a book to read, some munchies and female essentials. These women either carry a small purse and a second tote bag/briefcase or one large attractive designer handbag. This does not mean the same weight in a purse is carried out to dinner on a Saturday night or when shopping at the grocery store. There's a purpose behind the heavy handbag, and it hasn't caused any life-threatening disease. We may want to look closer at these "handbag rental" companies who pass along germs and viruses from person-to-person instead. Yuck, just the thought of using a handbag a stranger has carried is repulsive. Renting a designer handbag poses more health issues than carrying a heavy bag!

SECOND issue - Limiting designer handbag sales by the department stores.

This is such an unrealistic predictor of designer bag sales. Most of the websites in question have had a limit on the number of designer items they would sell regardless of the "breaking news." Plus, it won't hurt the sale or resale of designer purses. Women will buy what they want and figure out a way to get it regardless of anyone's rules! What we should really be focused upon is the prices women pay for their fashion icon purchases. Seems like there's a much bigger issue here than quantity. The issue should be quality and cost. The weakness of the USD plays an important part, too. Some handbags sell for the same price as a new car! That's what we need to look at. Not, how many we are allowed to purchase, but rather how much we have to pay to own one.

The best materials come from Europe. Italy's leather and designs have ranked the highest over the years. However, if the same bag was assembled in a more cost-effective manner, the price would be less. The hype about Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Burberry, etc. is all just a matter of taste, style and design. Some of the design houses are notorious about pricing. Others, focus more on production and distribution. Then, the counterfeit market jumps onboard and screws it up for all of us. In the end, it doesn't matter how much women are allowed to purchase, it's how they can figure out a way to manipulate the system to get what they want.

The best example is the Hermes Birkin bag. The bag is large, heavy, hand-held and high-priced. Most women who want one figure out a way to get it even though they are rarely available through Hermes. Look at eBay. There are sellers on eBay who list 10-15 Birkin bags. Where are they getting these bags if Hermes limits the manufacturing, distribution and resale of the coveted Birkin? Someone figured out a way to buy them regardless of the Designer's decision for limiting sales. Honestly, most women who carry a Birkin suffer from hand, wrist and neck pain due to its weight. Even Jane Birkin herself reports she stopped carrying the bag because over time it became too painful. The empty Birkin bag outweighs any other handbag filled with a person's daily essentials.

CONCLUSION.

Are we concerned? Is there something we need to worry about? Or, is the designer handbag industry looking for ways to sell more bags? The fashion bag industry is booming. In 2005, the average cost of a designer purse the major high-end department stores was about $2000. In 2007, the same item averaged about $3000. A woman's designer handbag wishes are here to stay regardless of health issues, availability and cost. Women get what they want, and in the fashion industry they suffer to look good! This is not going to change or fade away in the near future. So, go shopping and carry on....it doesn't matter how much you spend or how much it weighs. Every working woman deserves the designer handbag of their dreams!

An Introduction to Handbag Manufacturing

2009-06-06T15:24:00.000-07:00

Where Do Handbags Come From?

Have you ever wondered where your designer handbag came from and what went in to making it? And how does a handbag go from an idea to a finished product and why do they cost so much? Bringing a handbag or purse design to life is an involved process-and the higher the quality of the bag, the more thought goes into its creation. The process usually begins with a sketch; however before any drawings can move into production, the designer needs to consider the latest handbag trends to ensure that the finished product will fit into current styles, meet consumer demands and offer enough differentiation to make the bag unique from others on the market.

A skilled pattern maker will use the drawings to create a paper model or prototype of the bag and an official pattern that will be used to create the entire luxury handbag collection. But before the bags can be made, the materials and colors must be selected. For example, one handbag could come in several colors or types of leather, from soft, calfskin leather to ostrich. The silhouette plays an important role in selecting the type of leather; a structured shoulder bag should use a more durable and stiff leather while a hobo or slouchy handbag would use softer, more pliable leather. After the materials are selected, a leather cutter will cut the leather for each handbag and prepare it for stitching. This is a delicate process that requires a skilled leather worker, which contributes to the cost of an authentic handbag. Each piece must be cut perfectly to correspond to the handbag pattern-only an experienced leather cutter will know how to best work with specific types of leather to ensure that the end result is perfect.

The next step in making a handbag is stitching. A banconista or assembler will recreate the paper handbag model from the leather cutouts. The leather is either hand-stitched or stitched with a sewing machine. This job requires the utmost craftsmanship to be able to stitch fine, straight seems on leather, in particular more rigid leathers-one wrong stitch would leave a permanent mark in the leather, ruining the entire piece. The more details the handbag has-like hardware, and inner pockets-the more complicated the fabrication process. The final quality of a handbag is determined during this stage of the process. Any mistakes will affect how the bag looks and will hold up over time. The next stage is the finishing. The bag will still look different than the prototype, as it is missing hardware, zippers or closures. During this process, each handbag is inspected for defects and all hardware is added. The leather handbags are now ready for shipping. Each handbag is individually wrapped in a cloth bag ad shipped to the customer or boutique.

Handbag Costs

As you can see, manufacturing an authentic handbag is a lengthy and involved process. The cost of a handbag is determined by:

The prestige of the brand

Quality of materials used to make each handbag

The experience of the leather artisans

Production and facility costs

So the next time you're shopping for a new luxury handbag, you'll have a better understanding of what goes in to creating the finished product.

Louis Vuitton Handbags - Unique Fashion That Enhances Your Sense of Style

2009-06-06T15:19:00.001-07:00

One of the top designers in terms of travel bags and leather goods is Louis Vuitton. If one of your goals is to enhance your wardrobe then Louis Vuitton handbags are definitely a must-have. You can choose from several different varieties of bags, and the new up and coming season brings about great new designs from the manufacturer that you will love, no matter what your style. This article goes into some information about the new arrivals, in addition to the best places to buy your new purse.

Wallets by Louis Vuitton are just as fashionable as the purses, and there are a quite few styles that are available as well. You can buy the conventional design wallet, which is dark brown leather with the tan Louis Vuitton symbols appearing throughout the wallet. The Pochette is another type of Louis Vuitton wallets for you to take a look at; the wallets are small enough in size for you to carry anywhere, but will certainly fit all your important items, so some individuals just use it as a small purse.

Various Lines and Styles

Louis Vuitton handbags are classic in style, but the appearance is always changed somewhat in order to give you something fresh and new to select from for the season. The Tivoli GM, for instance, has the classic Louis Vuitton print, but is has a shape similar to a bowling bag, giving you extra room to store your items. The purse also has base studs so that you can sit it on the floor or other flat surface without having to concern yourself about it tumbling over.

The Palermo PM is one of the new Louis Vuitton handbags that is excellent for traveling, since it comes equipped with an added strap for you to wear across the shoulder in case you are carrying any heavy items in the bag, but the Beverly handbag line is smaller and more pragmatic for everyday use. It has a more vintage shape to it, and is very feminine. These bags all have a similar print, but the design and shape of them make them oriented to different styles and preferences.

Places To Research and Buy

If you want to find out where you can purchase Louis Vuitton handbags, you can visit the designer online resource at Louisvuitton to get descriptions of each handbag and to find out about the various costs and other great Louis Vuitton accessories. You can also visit the online destination Handbagcrew and Overstock to find reduced prices on wallets and purses by the designer. You can also discover other great designers on these sites that have the same quality, and you will be able to see just how much you will save by buying on these sites--the prices you would actually pay in a department store are ordinarily much more. Happy shopping!

The Dooney & Bourke "It" handbag has become even more popular than ever before. Women and girls of all ages are searching for these bags and are loving the styles and colors. If you are a person who is into wearing darker colors and do not like the light pastel colors of the bags, you can still have an "It" in black or blue.

Buy Your Next Dooney & Bourke It Handbag Online

2009-05-10T16:02:00.000-07:00

Over the past few years Dooney has made more than 6 different styles of handbags. The "It" bag being just one of them. The colorful designs with the DB initials on the bags makes them playful and sophisticated at the same time. They have become popular with the women and girls of all ages.

The "It" bag, has weather treated cotton with leather trim and color coordinating lining. Its functional and durable with its inside zip pocket, cell phone pocket, pocket for lipstick, inside key hook, and adjustable handles. The storage pockets make it easy to find what you need and quicker. These bags are perfect for the new season. With spring amongst us, the vibrant floral colors of the "It" bag will go very well with whatever you pull out of your closet to wear. For those of you who enjoy wearing dark colors year round, there is even an "It" in black, so that you can wear a Dooney at all times.

The DB handbags have made a huge comeback from the plain brown signature handbag. With it's new line of updated "It" bags like the slouch bags, or the backpacks. I especially like the tassel bags. They are what I call "all occasion" handbags. Dressy enough to wear to a business meeting, and casual enough to take out at night for socializing. Just be careful when trying to match shoes with these handbags. That can get a bit tricky depending on the season. If you are carrying your "It" handbag in the colder months, you do not want to try to match white shoes with your white handbag. Go with another color like light browns or mauve colors.

Dooney & Bourke carries the top of the line products that are affordable and available for anyone to own. Prices range from $100 to $300 for most styles. The more expensive handbags still are fairly priced, ranging from $300 to $500. These handbags and other products can be found in high-end department stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor or Nordstrom. There are even Dooney & Bourke outlets throughout the U.S. For those of you unfortunates who can not get to the outlets you should try shopping online for your discounted handbags.

Shopping online for your "It" bag is a great idea because you can save lots of time and energy searching through the stores for that one particular bag that you want. I hate when I get to a store and they tell me, "Sorry, we just sold the last one." That tells me that I should have either called first or just ordered online like I wanted to in the first place. The gas that I wasted could have paid for my shipping and handling.

So, not only does shopping online save you lots of money, it saves you time and energy. Ebay is a great place to find the DB "It" bag and all others. There are many online stores that carry this brand and have wonderful savings that are well worth it. You might even stubble upon something you had been looking for all over the place and couldn't find. The internet is an awesome place to find anything imaginable. So, for your next handbag purchase, go online and save, save, save!

Is Your Authentic Designer Handbag Really Authentic?

2009-04-09T19:56:00.000-07:00

So, you have just bought a new designer handbag. Maybe you have had your eye on a Christian Dior Saddle Handbag, or Gucci Jackie-O that you know your friends will drool over . You got a huge discount off of the hefty retail price and you're feeling pretty good about yourself. But now you are wondering- is my designer handbag authentic.

Determining the authenticity on any product can be a little tricky, but if you know the basics, you will be able to spot a fake in just a few seconds.

One of the best ways to ensure your new handbag is authentic is to look at the bag itself. Designer handbags are popular and cost as much as they due because first and for-most they are made from quality materials. Take a good look at the stitching. There should be no loose or missing stitches, the color of the thread should match the main color of the bag and the stitches should be evenly spaced. If the handbag is leather, the logo should be engraved, not just printed on the leather.

Also take a look at the hardware. All of the hardware should match in color and sheen. The hardware should also be free of scratches. Many manufactures, including Gucci, Fendi and Prada, protect their hardware with a removable plastic cover that is to be removed only after it has been purchased. The brand name or logo should be engraved, not embossed or simply printed on the hardware. You can also find the brand name of logo engraved on the strap hardware on Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Chanel.

Inspect the material the bag; lining, hardware and accents are made of. Many handbags are made of different types of leather, from Lambskin, Calfskin, Goatskin and Patent Leather, but it is easy to distinguish if the leather is of a good quality or not. The lining is usually made of a satin material that has a nice shine to it and most designer handbags have the name brand name or logo on the lining. Designers almost always use leather accents, not plastic. Some purses have straps that are specially coated and seem to be artificial. However a quick look at the edge of the strap, usually near a stitched joint, should reveal a leather core.

Is there an authenticity card. An authenticity card is a little card that usually has the manufactures logo embossed on the front and has some information about the product you purchased and sometimes includes a magnetic strip, bar code. Many manufacturers, including Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Kate Spade and Coach, use these cards.

Check for a serial number. Not all manufacturers use serial numbers, but many do. The serial number for Fendi purses can be found on the inside pocket. Simply turn the pocket inside out and there will be a printed number on the fabric or possibly on the leather tag. Gucci includes a small leather tag on the zipper seam of the handbag which includes a serial number.

If you shop wisely, and inspect the bag carefully, you will be able to spot a fake from a mile away.

Wholesale Designer Handbags - How to Become Part of the Hottest Business on the Net,

2009-04-09T19:54:00.000-07:00

It is said, to be successful in selling, you must be passionate about what you sell. This is easy if you love designer handbags and fashion. Fashion is a huge industry. Wholesale designer handbags and fashion is also quickly becoming a very large and profitable industry.

But as good as it sounds, there are many things to know before you jump in and become a designer handbag wholesaler.

The most important issue you must understand is the manufacturing and distribution channels of the top designers. The production of designer handbags is almost a top-secret event. With the heavy competition between the designers to offer the latest and hottest trends for the up coming season, handbag manufacturers keep quite about their production runs, the quantity they will produce and orders must be placed two or three seasons in advance just to get any product. What does this mean to you, the wholesaler? It means that you cannot call up GUCCI or Hermes and ask for a couple hundred bags and expect to not get laughed at (in Italian of French of course). It also means that the top designer handbag manufacturers only supply their product to large retailers, small boutiques and maybe a website with an exclusive contract.

So where do all the handbags that you see for sale online come from? Well, that is the key to getting into the wholesale designer handbag business. Most of the bags come from intentional or unintentional overstock by the small to medium size boutiques oversees. They will sell off their surplus of last season’s handbags to distributors who will then sell them to wholesalers. It is your goal to find these distributors.

To find reputable, honest dealers who distribute authentic merchandise is tricky. There are a couple of things to consider.

**Most dealers that sell designers from Italy, France and England are not found in the US. It only makes sense. They need to have a close relationship with the boutiques, and very rarely the manufacturers themselves, that supply them with their overstock. So become familiar with what country the handbags you want to sell were originally produced.

**Learn the language. You will need to learn a little Italian or French. Just enough to understand colors, styles and shapes of the handbags when you are given an inventory list. It would also be good to know enough to at least say hello and what your intentions are when initially contacting the dealer. Learning the language is also extremely helpful when conducting searches on the internet. Don’t limit your search to pages here in the US, search google and yahoo in Italian and French as well.

**Contact as many dealers as possible. This will help to validate which ones are honest and have an interest in a business relationship. Once you have received the inventory/price list from several dealers, cross reverence them. Are the prices similar? Are the quantities on hand reasonable? This is important to gage if the dealer is selling authentic merchandise. If he has 600 of a particular bag, chances are they are not real. It is not reasonable, given the means in which he most likely purchases his stock and the production methods of the manufacturing, that he would have so many of one style.

**Understand all terms of sale prior to placing an order. It is not uncommon that the dealer will want a deposit on your order. You will usually commit 30% up front and pay the remainder when the items have shipped. Many dealers will only accept bank transfers. This is where becoming a designer handbag wholesaler takes a great deal of faith. A bank transfer offers no protection from the dealer taking your money and never shipping product. If he was dishonest and took the funds, but shipped nothing, you could have very little recourse. Unlike a money order or credit card purchase, there is no 3rd party protection. At the least, make sure you have the dealers phone number, complete business address and email address.

Of course, like with all start-up business, there are many, many more things to consider. But to make your search for the right distributor easier, we highly recommend going to ModaImports.com. Unlike the many lists and directories that claim to offer true sources for authentic designer handbags, ModaImports.com has used, or contacted, all of the sources on their Supplier Database.

If you have a passion for fashion and are looking to start your own lucrative business, wholesale authentic designer handbags is a great business opportunity.

Vintage Desinger Handbag-Is it Vintage or Just Plain Used

2009-04-09T19:53:00.001-07:00

Vintage bags are new again. Just look around, they are everywhere. They were the talk of the fashion industry when many ‘A list’ celebrities were seen toting vintage handbags, gowns and accessories at this years Emmy Awards.

Buying vintage handbags is a great way to broaden your handbag collection. There are thousands to choose from and can sometimes be bought for pennies on the dollar. But when is a vintage handbag right for you, and what makes a bag vintage and not just used?

You will need to determine if the new handbag you are in the market for will be used frequently or are you more interested in the bag as a collectable. There is no harm in wanting to use a vintage handbag, how else are you and your impeccable sense of fashion going to be the topic at this years Christmas party, but it is important to buy a bag that will hold up to the challenge. So make sure you follow some simple guidelines when purchasing your new vintage handbag.

Only buy from a reputable dealer. Many of your questions can be answered and your worries set to ease when you know the dealer has done their homework and has a reputation of being honest and fair.

Obviously, anything that you use often must be made to last. Do not buy a handbag that is worn or stained more then a little. Some ’wear and tear’ can add mystique, but too much damage only looks used. Handbags can be restored and repaired, but it is highly unlikely you would want to go to all the trouble of having a handbag repaired, only to use it on a daily basis. Also, although most people would not be able to tell the bag had been repaired, repairing a bag greatly decreases it open market value.

Understand what you are paying for. Vintage handbags are given value not only for their popularity of past and current times, but also for workmanship. This can include things such as the clasping mechanism. Your biggest concern might be that the handbag close properly, but you could pay top price because the bag you are eyeing happens to have the first magnetic closure ever used on a designer bag. If you happen to find these types of things interesting then this is the bag for you. But if you are more interested in the appearance of a handbag, you might not want to pay this much for a piece of ingenuity and history.

Prices for vintage designer handbags can range from less then a hundred to several thousand. The price depends on condition, uniqueness, design, rarity, condition, adornments (beading), the material from which the bag is made and age.

When shopping online for vintage designer handbags, try using different search words: purse, handbags, vintage purses, vintage designer handbags, clutch purses, lunch box purses, cigar box purses and so on. Also look for an online boutique that offers great detail on the items they sell. A good description of the bag, estimated age and a full list of any flaws should be provided. It is essential that the retailer offer a money back guarantee.

A vintage handbag is right for you if you want genuine GUCCI or Hermes leather bag at a great price and couldn’t afford one new. Nobody has to know that it is vintage, but everyone will be wondering where you got it.

Is Your Handbag Making You Look Fat?

2009-04-09T19:51:00.001-07:00

Is your designer handbag making you look fat? Much thought is given to the perfect pair of jeans or finding just the right blouse that will accentuate your figure. But how about your handbag?

Yes, your handbag can make you look fat or short or maybe even both. But the good news is, choosing the right handbag can make you look thin and tall.

It’s all about shape. You need to choose a handbag that is opposite that of your figure. If you were short and round, the perfect bag for you would be tall and sleek, like a clutch. Say you are tall and thin. Then a short and round bag would suit you best.

Now it is important you keep ratios in mind. Just because you are stout doesn’t mean you should carry around a pencil box, this will only add to the appearance that you are much larger then your handbag.

And don’t forget, fabrics and accents add a lot to the structure of a bag. A brightly colored, wildly patterned Monogram Multicolor Louis Vuitton Boulogne attracts a lot of attention. This bag will give the appearance that there is a lot my substance to your accessory then there really is.

Next, you will want to consider size of the bag. Take for example the Monogram Louis Vuitton Boulogne mentioned earlier. The bag itself has a small, classic, square shape to it, but it also has a long 12-inch strap. On a woman who is five and a half feet tall, this bag would be at or below her hip. This is too long for her height and therefore makes her look shorter. Now give the same bag to a 6-foot tall woman, and the bag would sit comfortably just above her hip and accentuate her waistline. The goal is to show off your womanly curves while hiding the womanly flaws we all have and hate.

Some popular designer handbag styles:

Tote - An open-top bag with straps or handles.

Hobo bag - A crescent-shaped shoulder bag.

Duffle - Tall shoulder bag, often with a wider opening on top.

Field bag - A flap-top shoulder bag with utility-type closure (buckles, snaps, etc).

Clutch - A small, handheld bag (frequently used for evening wear).

Satchel- A large, handheld bag.

Baguette - Long and rounded shoulder bag resembling the namesake bread.

Messenger - A large, soft shoulder bag with long straps (often worn across the body).

Cigar Box - A small, boxy, hard bag.

Pouch - A soft, small bag.

Oh, and a message to all of you who think you are avoiding bad handbag choices and have chosen a backpack style handbag. Watch out how big the backpack is and where it rests on your back. You could be adding junk to your ‘trunk’, or accentuating your ‘assets’.

Front or back, choosing the right bag is as important as choosing the right pair of jeans or the perfect sweater.

Authentic or Replica - Which Handbag is Right for You?

2009-04-09T19:49:00.000-07:00

Real or fake? This question is asked of a lot of things: paintings, jewelry, bosoms and yes, handbags. Whether your Louis Vuitton is real or fake is your business, isn’t it?

Well, yes and no. Obviously, if your LV is real, you will probably eagerly correct anyone that hints that it is not. After all, you paid good money for the bag, and might even be appalled that someone would assume it is a replica.

On the other hand, if your bag were a replica, would you really tell people that it is a fake? Would you tell them by purchasing a replica, instead of the real thing, that you knowingly took money away from the designers that created the real bag? Would you mention that the money you spent for the bag possibly went to terrorist organizations. Or that the manufactures of your fake bag could have used their handbag business to transport thousands of dollars worth of cocaine into the country? I doubt you would mention any of these things to an inquisitive acquaintance.

I know it sounds harsh, but knowingly buying a replica bag is wrong. (Note: buying replica handbags is not illegal but selling them is.)

Designers like Gucci, Kate Spade, Chanel and Hermes charge so much for their product because they are highly sought after and they are made from quality materials. Many bags by these designers are made by hand. Also, these designers spend millions on advertising, customer care, quality assurance and customs. By buying a replica, you are taking directly from these designers.

Buying replicas also takes from the US economy. Companies that sell replica handbags often do so as cash based, tax free business. If you have bought a replica handbag before, think back, did you pay tax for on the purchase. Probably not.

We all know that authentic designer handbags are pricey, but that doesn’t mean you should buy a knock-off. Just because something is out of your price range is no reason to rip off the company that manufactures the product.

Real or replica…which is right for you? I don’t really see you have a choice. Always buy real.

Importing Handbags and Luggage

2009-04-06T18:01:00.000-07:00

Importing bags and luggage has become big business but there are some things that you need to know before setting up such a business.

Designer copies - these products are illegal and you may end up having your bags seized at customs, being fined and possibly facing a breach of copyright charge from the design owner.

Bags such as straw baskets and cane purses will be subject to Quarrantine

Leather bags will not need to be quarantined but may be examined to see that the leather is properly processed and not from an endangered species.

Luggage for Children - needs to meet Australian standards for the bag and its components.

Bags and luggage can be bulky to ship and this will affect your overall costing.

There are clear labelling requirements for bags that are made from leather and imitation leather. Labels need to include the country of origin and a true description of the bags.

That was some warning information. Now what about looking at what you can do?

Why not design your own range of bags or luggage? You can have personalised fabric created using specific colours. You can brand it with your logo. You can choose the manufacturer and have the process monitored along the way. Bags start from only US$1.

My favourite are evening bags - elegant and sophisticated or vibrant and fun. Why not create a signature range? Source fabric and fittings and create your own line.

PU bags have no duty so you can go wild here and look for stylish handbags or tote bags. There is a growing market for synthetic bags and purses which look like leather or crocodile skin.

Enviro bags are popular especially for promotional items. There are varying weights so you could create bags for school or shopping or even as backpacks. You are only limited by your imagination.

Benefits of importing are endless so take time out to really think about all the possibilities, your own designer range of luggage, kids designer luggage - not much competition there. Wallets, purses, totes, no-one has done anything exciting in this area for years. Just think of the fun you could have with your own creations.

Replica Versace Handbags

2009-02-26T17:50:00.000-08:00

Women worldwide adore Versace handbags. They may not have the overwhelming popularity that Louis Vuitton and Prada may have, however their scarcity compared to some of the more (as some may argue) overexposed brands is one of the reasons why fake Versace handbags can be a wise purchase.

With the popularity of other brands at its peak the number of counterfeit and replica bags are at an all-time high. You need just walk through a busy street in a large town to see numerous poor knockoffs of these brands. In short, by purchasing a Versace Replica you're a lot less likely to get "outed". While the handbags may not be as popular as others it's still undoubtedly one of the best brand names in the industry.

Well where do you find these? Certainly the internet has a ton of sites will to sell you replica fashion merchandise. However these items are normally overpriced relative to other options. Your best bet is to find a big city and do some research. For example, by me, New York City's Chinatown is definitely the capital of replica fashion. You can often find items here for prices drastically different than their internet counterparts. Also don't be afraid to haggle. I've never purchased a piece of replica fashion for the first price that I was quoted.

Well, this should be enough to get you started. Good luck and please feel free to shoot me any questions that you may have. I'm sure once you purchase one item the subsequent items will be a lot easier going.

What are the three things that designer handbags are known for? Well I'll tell you, wealth, good taste and quality. A designer handbag is something that is on most women's wish list but due to the cost we are probably only going to buy one every few years; so because of this fact you need to ensure that you choose the right one.

With all brand fashion items, whether it is shoes, dresses, jackets, belts or indeed bags it is the name that you are ultimately paying extra for. While this is indeed true in the case of designer handbags you are also paying for a product that is higher in quality and craftsmanship than a lot of other handbags that are on the market. The higher prices of the true designer brands are a combination of superior construction, top materials and brand identification.

Some of the top and most known names when it comes to designer handbags are Gucci, Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada. All of these designers and many more like it tend to have classic looks that are easily recognisable. The fact that these bags are easily recognisable can be both a good thing and a bad thing. It is good in the case of status symbol as everyone will know what designer you are wearing; it is bad however if you are a true fashion diva as you will be looking for one of a kind bags as they are more desirable to you. These types of bags however are traditionally custom made by artists, which is why if you are after one of a kind bags you should opt for a bag from the Rocio collection.

Designer handbags are an aspect of fashion that is always going to be in, regardless of the season. It is because of this fact that there are so many different types of designer handbags on the market. Many of the bags that are currently on the market however have been there for a long while now, which is why if you are looking for something a bit different you should opt for a Rocio handbag. They are perfect if you want something that steps away from the normal, the main reason being is down to the fact that they aren't made from a material that is considered normal for a handbag; they are made from Acacia wood.

The concept and design of these bags, and the fact that they are made from wood means that they are constantly pushing the boundaries of fashion. The aim of these bags is to take fashion back to the arts and if you have ever seen a bag from this collection you will clearly see that they are successful at doing this.

Not only are these bags designed and personally hand carved out of wood but they also incorporate materials such as diamonds, pearls and leather etc. The material that is used on top of the Acacia wood is up to you and depends on the style of bag that you are buying.

The bags contained within the Rocio collection have already been tipped to be big this year so don't miss out on the next big thing, get your bag ordered.

It is a lot cheaper to pay for a small bag than an entire outfit and a new bag can change the entire look of an old outfit.

The concept of what makes a good handbag will continue to be invented and re-invented at the turn of every season. Too many women, a bag is the entry-level item to the luxury market and one of the most popular forms of handbag in recent times is the designer handbag.

Your Gucci Handbag Tells the World You Have Good Fashion Sense

2009-01-26T00:06:00.000-08:00

For many women, there is no question about it. Ownership of a Gucci handbag is the ultimate sign of chic. Anyone carrying a Gucci handbag is a walking billboard that screams, "I Have Good Taste!"

Gucci Handbags: Brand History

Not many know, though, that the world-renowned Gucci brand name has humble beginnings. Founded in the 1920s by Guccio Gucci, the enterprise began as a maker of horse saddles and other leather goods in Florence, Italy. Guccio, the son of a merchant from northern Italy, hired the world's finest draftsmen and earned a reputation for high quality early on.

Gucci established a shop in Rome, Italy in 1938, and, in 1947, originated the line of Gucci handbags with bamboo handles, which remains popular to this day. The concept for the trademark striped webbing used on Gucci products, which were derived from horse saddles, was developed by Guccio Gucci in the 1950s. Of Guccio Gucci’s six children, four were sons who played significant roles in the Gucci company. When Guccio Guccie died in 1953, they established boutiques in New York, London and Paris. The House of Gucci first gained prominence in the 1960s.

The Celebrity Status of Gucci Handbags

Quality products made by Gucci are, of course, not confined to Gucci handbags. The company has earned a sterling reputation for such other fine accessories as watches and perfumes. With such glamorous patrons as actresses Elizabeth Hurley and Gwyneth Paltrow, the brand name has grown its own fan base of women who see themselves as discriminating in taste. The Gucci explosion of the 60s and 70s was the height of the brand’s manufacturing expansion.

Today, more Gucci handbags are clutched by the well-heeled in the streets of urban fashion centers the world over than any other brand name of the same product category (luxury handbags). Women in Paris, Tokyo, London, New York, Athens, Los Angeles, Berlin, Chicago, Venice, Amsterdam, Rome, Bonn and other fashion centers in the world prefer to sport Gucci handbags. These women’s reasons for doing so are many, but not least of them is the quality and prestige associated with the Gucci name.

Glamor Gucci

2009-01-26T00:04:00.000-08:00

It has graced songs and almost all the red carpet but people just can't quite get enough of Guccio Gucci's line of designer bags since they started to grace the hands and shoulders of numerous upper elite socialites and A-list celebrities.

Being able to strut with a Gucci is a goal that little fashionistas dream about when they are facing the mirror trying to put together a look for a party or just for another day in their seemingly unglamorous lives. Dreams of having a bag named after themselves stream from their consciousness. Since not everyone can be a Jackie, the next best thing would be to own a Jackie O Gucci handbag.

Through the years Gucci had been able to harness the practicality of leather and bamboo to create countless designer bags but each remains unique from the last. This distinction in designer bags is what draws us to them. There is always something inside that we know would be a trademark but every handbag feels different. Perhaps it is the weight they have in our hearts that make the difference.

In the heart of ever Gucci designer bag is the handiwork of Guccio Gucci's hands. Although he is no longer around to oversee his empire, he had his sons ensure that the Gucci bag would remain one of the best in the world. Old world classic and new world order in every designer handbag, that almost seems an appropriate mantra for every fashionista.

So next time you think glamour, think Gucci.

Gucci: From Handbags To Riches

2009-01-25T23:52:00.001-08:00

Perhaps Guccio Gucci never realized the extent at which his handbags will be adored by millions of women all across the world. From the time that he first opened his store in 1921 to the present time, he would not have imagined that his bags would stand the test of time and become one of the icons of the history of the fashion world and would give birth to a fashion house.

In fact, there are some who would kill for a Gucci handbag whether it be the new stocks that have come fresh from the designer’s notebooks or those that have already made the rounds of various thrift shops. No doubt, there is much value placed in an authentic Gucci handbag, whether it be 15 years old or 15 minutes old.

Guccio Gucci started with a small luggage and saddlery company in Florence, where he sold leather goods that are exclusively made by Florence craftsmen. Owning to the support of sophisticated international clients, Gucci opened another shop, this time in Via Condotti, Rome. Though quite popular with consumers, it was only in 1947 that the first Gucci handbag attained an icon status with the first handbag to have a bamboo handle. The handbag, introduced by Gucci, was a great success with the Gucci handbag symbol of striped webbing derived from saddle girth. The striped webbing symbol has become so distinctive and so identified with the Gucci products, whether handbags or clothes that it made into a trademark.

Another icon Gucci handbag was introduced a couple of years after– the moccasin handbag with metal bit. When Gucci died in 1953, the company was riding its high especially with the opening of its first New York store, Hollywood stars Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Peter Sellers brought the brand into stardom but it was First lady Jackie Kennedy that popularized the bag that has come to be known today as the “Jackie O.”

After expansion in the United States and in Europe, Gucci opened his first stores in Asia, targeting Asian fashion capitals, Hong Kong and Tokyo in the seventies. In the early 80s, Maurizio Gucci took on the leadership and in 1984, Domenico de Sole became the president of Gucci America. Shares of the Gucci company was sold and de Sole became the CEO of the group NV. Today, Gucci handbags are still enjoying the adoration and adulation of many loyalists. In fact, their recent hobo bag designs are one of the top selling handbags in the market today. Even with its really obscene price, women line up the stores and even reserve their stocks of really great Gucci designs.

In 1990, Tom Ford took on the reins of Creative Director and brought the Gucci name back into the limelight with his great designs and innovations. Tom Ford’s first collection was a really big success not only in the American runways but also across the globe. Not only does Gucci been producing handbags, shoes and clothes, the company has also acquired a small but profitable watch company, Severin Montres in 1997.

The year 1998 saw the Gucci brand riding high with its being named European Company of the Year by the European Business Press Federation. In 2004, when Tom Ford left the company, Frida Giannini was appointed to head the Accessories collection, which would preside over the design and development of handbags. And even in 2005, when Gucci appointed Giannini as creative director for women’s ready to wear, she still continued her responsibilities with accessories and Gucci handbags.

The Beauty of Gucci Handbags

2009-01-25T23:50:00.000-08:00

While there are of course many unique and stylish handbags and purses on the market, for many buyers Gucci handbags remain the gold standard, and the standard by which all other handbags are judged. Indeed, in survey after survey shoppers have picked Gucci as the bag they would most like to carry, and for many of us being able to afford one of these fine handbags is a sign that we have truly arrived.

The very popularity and quality of Gucci handbags has of course meant that there are a number of knockoffs and fake Gucci products that have sprung up to take advantage of unwary buyers. While these fakes can be very authentic looking to the casual observer, what they lack is the truly exceptional style and quality that has given Gucci its well deserved reputation.

When shopping for genuine Gucci handbags it is important to remember that genuine Gucci handbags, be they hobo bags, clutches, purses, shoulder bags or other styles, will typically sell for several hundred dollars. While there are of course a number of deals to be had, the fact is that if a retailer offers to sell you a Gucci purse for a fraction of that retail price chances are the product is a fake, and if it is fake chances are good that it is not even worth that heavily discounted price.

There are a number of things to look for to help determine if a Gucci handbag is the real deal or a cheap knockoff. One thing to look closely at is the stitching around the edges of the purse. A genuine Gucci bag will have high quality, fine stitching throughout the bag, while a cheap fake will likely have stitching that is poorly done or uneven. It is also important to look at the quality of the leather, canvas and other materials used in the construction of the handbag. Gucci has long been the highest quality handbag on the market, and as such the company uses only the highest quality, leather, canvas and other materials.

If the material looks cheap or shoddy, chances are good you are looking at a fake. While a fake may be able to fool some people, it is far better to spend a little more and enjoy the truly exceptional quality and style only genuine Gucci handbags can deliver.

There are of course many choices when it comes to which handbag to carry, but there is something about the quality and style of Gucci that is sure to make a statement no matter where you go. For many women the purse she carries is much more than just a place to hold their money. Indeed a purse is a fashion statement, and a genuine Gucci purse makes a statement no other brand name can match. These great handbags, purses, wallets and other accessories may not be the cheapest on the market, but they are certainly among the best and highest quality on the market.

Handbags With Interchangeable Covers - Are They Worth It?

2009-01-22T07:26:00.000-08:00

I'm not going to beat around the bush here. I just LOVE the concept of interchangeable covers for handbags! I can't afford a lot of handbags, or even ONE of the terribly expensive designer handbags. The interchangeable system allows me to have a handbag for every occasion and outfit in my closet.

I can have a sedate purse for work and then when I go out at night I can change it to something snazzier in less than a minute. No emptying all the contents and then deciding what I can take vs what I need to leave behind. All the contents stay put and I just change the cover or shell. I can have over 10 shells in my closet and with the hanging organizer, it takes up less room than one or two blouses! Do you have all your purses on the closet shelf and have you ever had them come down on your head when you were trying to pull out the one you wanted? No more with this fantastic product. Most bases come in either black or brown and you can get them with either a long strap or a short one (or both).

On the sample bags that I have seen the insides are roomy, with plenty of compartments for storage and organization of all your "essentials". The covers are held in place with powerful earth magnets. With these types of magnets there is no need to worry about damage to your credit card magnetic strips, cell phones, iPods or digital cameras. It's a worry free system! There are currently several companies offering these types of bags and new shells are being designed everyday. I'm sure that every woman will be able to find two or three or ten that she likes.

It's hard sometimes to come across a product that grabs you. While I am not a purse fanatic, I do like them to be stylish and complimentary to what I am wearing on a given day. On the other hand, I dislike switching the contents on a daily basis - or even a weekly basis. We women tend to get comfortable with our purses and this system makes me comfortable!

Knowing What's Hot in Liquidation Handbags

2009-01-14T17:40:00.000-08:00

Are you selling liquidation handbags as part of your business? The key to selling handbags successfully is making sure you know what women who are buying those handbags want.

In the liquidation world you can get a lot for a little outlay of cash. This is great when it comes to buying liquidation handbags to resell, but you also want to make sure you are getting items that are popular enough to resell to others at a great profit.

In the handbag market the only way to do this is to keep yourself one step ahead of the fashion trends and be selling what all the fashionable women want to be wearing. Here's a look at what fits that bill for The Winter 2008-09 season.

Handbags With Drawstrings

The peek-a-book romance of drawstrings is in again this season. That means if you can find a few drawstring handbags, you won't have a problem making a good profit. There are a couple of ways to go with this design. It could be a small handbag that closes and is held by the drawstring or a larger purse where one of the aspects of the piece is a drawstring closure.

Big Handbags

Big is back. Women this winter want to be able to take it all with them. This means they need bags that are big enough to carry all of the things they need for day or night in their handbags. The bigger the better.

Skin Handbags

The love affair with unique skin handbags continues. From stingray skin to crocodile, trendy women are clamoring to get their hands on a handbag made from a new and exotic skin this season.

Handbags that Make a Statement

Sometimes you want to be the center of attention. This season, handbags are looking to play that role. From bold colors like deep purples, copper and gold to large and in charge accents like massive buckles and handles, it's all about making a statement this winter.

Chain Accents

The final trend in handbags this winter is chains. From chains that dangle from a purse to those that are used as the hand or arm strap, the more chain the better.

Handbags and Purses - What is Your Style?

2009-01-10T19:14:00.000-08:00

The most important thing about a handbag or purse is not the name on the label or the logo, it is how you feel when you carry it. You can have the most sought after handbag of the season, but if you went beyond your budget for a designer handbag and you are losing sleep over the credit card bill, or if the currently "must have" handbag is a petite handbag that looks awesome but cannot hold all of the essentials you need, you may not feel so great when you carry it.

What is your style? The right handbag or purse for you is the one that makes you feel great when you grab it as you head out the door. Can a handbag or purse affect how you feel? Of course, just like a great fitting pair of jeans or that awesome sweater you got last week, the right style, size, and/or color handbag or purse can affect how you carry yourself.

My husband claims he can tell my mood just by what handbag or purse I've chosen to carry. He knew for example that the long Chicago winter had gotten to me when I broke out the colorful striped handbag and started carrying it in early February. A fashion faux pas?

Fake Designer Handbags - Are They Worth It?

2009-01-04T05:06:00.000-08:00

Can't afford a Gucci, Dior or Louis Vuitton handbag? You aren't the only one who can't. This is the reason there are so many fake designer handbags. Just do a search on the internet and you'll find page upon page of websites where you could purchase one. Obviously the demand for fake designer handbags is enormous. People want these designer handbags because they see one that they particularly like or because their favorite movie stars are carrying them. Unfortunately the price tag is as enormous as the demand.

You can spend upwards of $800 on a Prada hand bag that you absolutely have to have. However, if you get a knock-off, you could probably get the same bag for under $100. Now ask yourself what else you could spend that $700 on that you just saved. There are significant benefits to buying a fake. The quality of the fakes is not what it used to be. Once upon a time, if you were to haggle the price of a fake designer bag from a gentleman on a street corner in NYC, there would be no tag in it at all and it would wind up falling apart within a month of buying it. Since demand has increased, so has the quality. Now you can get a handbag that's at least the same quality that you would get from any retail store.

You could more than likely pass off your fake designer handbag as an original. Many of them look like the real thing and they even have tags. The question is if you really care if it's a genuine designer handbag or not. The stitching may not be the same quality as it would be as if it was an original, but is that really so important to you? No one will be looking that closely at your handbag? Most people admiring that handbag of yours don't really care. Appearance is the primary reason people purchase things. If you see something you like, you purchase it because you like how it looks or other related qualities, i.e. usefulness, many pockets, large size, it goes perfectly with that outfit and shoes you just bought. Does it really matter that it's not the real thing?

Why is it that you want a designer handbag?. Now, if you're getting one simply to say that you own one, then by all means go right ahead and spend a week's salary plus on one. If you want one because you like the hand bag, then strongly consider purchasing a fake. Today's economy is placing extreme restrictions on consumer's purchasing power. At the discounted prices that are offered, there's no reason you cant get what you want. You can purchase just about any designer handbag on the internet without having to leave your home.

Tips For Shopping at a Coach Outlet

2009-01-03T15:26:00.000-08:00

1. CALL AHEAD Before you head out the door for your day of shopping, it is good to call ahead to see if the outlet store is carrying the model you are looking for. Since each Coach Outlet has a different inventory, you might be able to visit another outlet store to find the model you are looking to buy.

2. GET THE OUTLET COUPON BOOK Most outlets have a coupon book. Although the Coach Outlet is never in there, it is worth a try each time.

3. GO TO THE COACH STORE When you arrive at the outlet mall, go to the Coach Outlet first. Every minute you spend in another store, is a minute that another person could be getting your purse.

4. SEE IT! LIKE IT! GRAB IT! If you like it, DO NOT put it down until you have for sure made a decision on another handbag. It is possible for the handbag to disappear while you are trying to make your decision. Load up as you walk around the store. You can always put the ones you do not want back later.

5. BROWSE THE STORE Outlet stores have deals everywhere. It is good to walk around the store a number of times, to make sure you see everything. Browse the store slowly a few times to make sure you have found all the deals.

6. BUY IT! You are at an outlet store that will be busy all day with customers. It is a good chance if you think about your purchase or wait until later, the handbag will be gone. Seize the moment and make the purchase.

7. BUY THE CLEANER! Coach makes product cleaner for each type of handbag material. After spending hundreds of dollars on handbag, invest a few bucks to keep it looking great. For around $10, you can pick up a cleaner to keep your handbag looking great.

8. ENJOY YOUR DESIGNER HANDBAG Have fun with your new purchase. And show off your new handbag to your friends.

I hope these tips will make your next Coach Outlet experience a great one! Have fun shopping while you save money on your new Coach handbag.

The Dolce and Gabbana Handbag - What You Must Know

2008-12-13T15:41:00.000-08:00

If you're looking for a handbag with a timeless and durable design, search for a Dolce and Gabbana handbag. But most importantly, always check a designer handbag's authenticity.

Pricing

You should be paying at least $500 for a real Dolce and Gabbana handbag, though costs usually reach $1000 and up. If a Dolce and Gabbana handbag costs less than a $100, then it's most probably fake. Unfortunately not many of us can afford the real designer bag, so in a way fake bags can be a good pick. The only downside is that the quality suffers.

Emblem

A closer look at a logo can reveal spelling errors or tacky font reproduction. A real Dolce and Gabbana handbag will have a Dolce and Gabbana logo on its metal rings, handles and zippers, instead of some other brand name. If you've already bought a Dolce and Gabbana handbag before, check if its designer logo has come off. If it has within a few months or less, then the handbag's supplier most probably sells fake designer bags.

Textile and Embellishments

Genuine leather is usually what a real Dolce and Gabbana handbag has. A glossy or very even surface means that the so-called leather material is fake. Furthermore, leather that is not genuine easily sloughs off. Make sure that metalwork is not bumpy, handles aren't crinkly and zippers aren't shoddy. Only premium fabric and accessories are found in a real Dolce and Gabbana handbag.

Craftsmanship

If a handbag cannot sit on its own or falls to the side then it is most likely fake. Inner and outer pockets should be stitched onto the handbag's material with precision. Inspect the inner lining and make it a point that it won't develop holes after just a few times of usage.

Threadwork

Threads should not be hanging out or stitched all over the place. Even if messy stitches are found only on the inside of a handbag, a genuine Dolce and Gabbana handbag does not have faulty stitches anywhere.

Hues

The zipper and stitch can have clashing colors in a fake handbag. Oftentimes tan-color threadwork is used so that it can easily go with different colors, plus it's easier on the money. However, a genuine Dolce and Gabbana handbag is more put together when it comes to color.

Decorations

Colored, textured or logo prints must not go over the seams or overlap. It is obvious when a print is abruptly cut and if patterns aren't even.

You might be told that a Dolce and Gabbana handbag is real, even though it is fake. The downside would be if you were tricked into buying it for $1000.

Elegance Of The Coach Handbag

2008-12-07T18:34:00.000-08:00

There are many types of handbags that a lady can carry, but the classic elegance and timeless style of the classic coach handbag is simply impossible to beat. Coach has long been recognized as the premier leather maker in the world, and the classic lines of purses, handbags, clutches, wallets and other accessories have made them a leader in the industry.

In addition to the coach handbag, the coach company also makes a number of excellent leather accessories including many fine belts and wallets. Pairing a classic handbag or purse from coach with a number of other great coach accessories is a great way to show off your personal taste and style and make a true fashion statement.

When considering a high priced purchase like a classic coach handbag it is of course important to shop carefully. True genuine coach handbags generally cost many hundreds of dollars, and while there are some sales and some deals to be had, chances are good that a genuine coach bag will cost a great deal of money. Even though these coach handbags can cost more than others it is important to remember that their high quality makes them more than worth the price.

While there are of course cheaper handbags on the market, none of these purses will be made to the exacting standards of the coach company. Buying a cheaper handbag may save you a little bit of money up front, but in the long run a classic and stylish handbag from the coach company will be the superior value in the long run. A beautiful purse or handbag from coach can last for many years, and represent a great overall value.

Of course the overwhelming popularity of the coach handbag, along with the reputation for quality that coach has built, has led to a number of cheap imitations and knockoffs. The looks of these cheap knockoffs can vary quite a bit, from obvious fakes that can be spotted a mile away, to fake products that can fool all but the most careful handbag shopper.

No matter what the appearance of the fake, however, it is important to remember that the quality of these fake coach handbags will not be up to the high quality standards of the coach company, and even if the handbags look good, they will not hold up to years of use like a genuine coach purse or handbag. It is important to look at the fine details of the coach purse, and not just the name on the outside. The genuine coach products will have fine quality stitching, and the interior of the purse will be just as attractive and well made as the exterior. Looking at the little details is one of the best ways to make sure you are getting the fine coach product you are paying so handsomely for.

There are coach stores in a large number of shopping malls located throughout the country, so finding a great selection of coach purses, handbags, wallets and accessories should not be difficult. Sorting through these great bags is a great way to determine which models best suit your needs. After all, coach makes a wide variety of different items, and it is important to shop around carefully.

The Classic Beauty Of A Dior Handbag

2008-11-28T18:29:00.001-08:00

For women, there’s no greater luxury than designer clothing – those beautiful outfits we wait for every season – brought to us by design houses that are synonymous with upscale fashion. But just as designer clothes are revered and desired, so are designer handbags. What may be a functional accessory for some, is a fashion statement for others. And for those people, the Dior handbag rates high on the list of desirable handbags.

French designer, Christian Dior, opened his first design house in 1949 in New York City. But his designs began years before that – embraced by an audience hungry for new creativity. Before long, Dior was a name inseparable from high fashion and enthusiasts awaited the new pieces that were added to the collection year after year. But before long, the Dior handbag was a part of the Dior collection – a glamorous and functional accessory that was eagerly awaited by consumers.

The Dior handbag is so revered because of its quality and style. The handbag reflects the commitment to quality demonstrated by everything that carries the Dior name. And the style of each handbag is attractive and unique. Whether you need an evening bag to complement a formal outfit, or carry-all bag for a weekend away, the Dior handbag will meet your needs with style, sophistication, and quality.

These superior handbags can be found in high-end department stores and exclusive boutiques – or even ordered online. Of course, a designer name carries a designer price tag; and for those interested in the Dior handbag, the price often makes a purchase cost-prohibitive. In an effort to save some money, some consumers will look for deeply discounted deals in a variety of places. But it is important to ensure that you are purchasing the real Dior handbag and not a replica that disreputable companies make in order to turn a profit. A genuine Dior handbag – while pricey – is worth the expense.

Classic and sophisticated, the Dior handbag will never go out of style as it adapts to changing styles and sets new ones as the world waits to see what will come next.

Original versus Replica of a Gucci Handbag

2008-11-23T15:24:00.000-08:00

Are you interested in buying a replica of a Gucci handbag? If so, you are not alone. But if you want to buy an original as opposed to a replica there are many things that you must consider. The fact of the matter is that Gucci handbags are among the best in the industry.

If you want to buy an original you are probably doing so for the top notch styling, elegance, and of course the quality.

You should learn as much as you can on how to avoid buying a replica of a Gucci handbag as opposed to an original.

The first thing that you should look for when buying a Gucci handbag is the details. When you buy an original you will be able to see all the finer details that have become synonymous with the Gucci name. But on the other side of things, a replica of a Gucci handbag is not going to have nearly as many details. You will notice that there are loose ends, and that it is not put together as well.

Additionally, replicas of Gucci handbags do not carry the initials on all of the zips; this is something that all the originals have. Also, on the inside of the originals you will be able to find information on how the bag was made, as well as the location in which it was manufactured. Again, if you cannot find this information it is safe to say that you are looking at a replica of a Gucci handbag.

All in all, quality and durability are much better when you buy an original Gucci bag. The fact of the matter is that it can be tough to determine an original from a replica of a Gucci handbag.

The Gucci Handbag Is Still Popular

2008-11-23T15:23:00.001-08:00

The Gucci handbag is one of the most coveted purses on the market today. Of course, the designs of Guccio Gucci are desired but what one may not understand is how he came to be. The history of the Gucci handbags is an interesting one and has set the tone in the couture world of today's fashion cosmos. Becoming an educated person about the history of the Gucci house is as easy using the computer keyboard.

Before 1906, designing handbags was just a dream of Guccio Gucci's. In 1906, however, he opened a saddle shop in Florence. He was a whiz with leather items, and he quickly became well known for his horse tack. It was not until 1938 that he opened his first retail store on the Via Condotti in Rome.

This store was devoted to his fine crafted leather goods. However, in 1947, the famous Gucci designer bag with a bamboo handle was created. This new area of leather items initiated a firestorm of purchases that would shoot his name into fashion history.

With the design of the handbag came fame that Guccio Gucci could have only dreamed of in 1906. Everyone around the world began to see famous starlets such as Audrey Hepburn and Princess Grace Kelly carrying a Gucci handbag.

This type of fame would follow the Gucci house for years to come. The company saw hard times in the 1990's, but with a new management and design team, he has returned to the forefront of the designer handbag niche.

When looking for the perfect accompaniment to that little black dress, one would be smart to find that perfect Gucci handbag. Guccio Gucci created a huge empire that still stands tall in the fashion world today. The house of Gucci has come a long way from 1906 when the small saddlery was created by Guccio. With the internet, anyone can own a piece of Gucci if they are willing to pay the price.

Gucci Handbags - The Roman Empire of Fashion Nearly Destroyed by a Family Feud

2008-11-14T19:06:00.000-08:00

The Italian fashion design house of Gucci started back in Florence, Italy in the year 1921 by a man named Guccio Gucci. When he first opened his small, family-owned saddle and leather goods store, he was completely unaware that the Gucci handbag would in time grow to become one of the most recognized symbols for luxury and wealth.

The History of Italian Fashion in the Making

In its initial phases, Gucci's work was recognized for its craftsmanship as well as its quality. He employed skilled craftsmen that would work with him and as a team they would build a very successful leather goods company. It was back in 1938 that they opened a boutique in Rome and their business just kept growing. Gucci, himself, was the creator for most of their products and in the year 1947 he introduced the bamboo handled Gucci handbag that has steadily become a company icon.

In addition to the Gucci handbag, the company is renowned for its family disagreements, differences of opinion as well as disputes when it comes to the operations of the company. The conflicts within the family over stock holdings, inheritances, business operations as well as other family issues have very often threatened the overall success of this family oriented business.

The Pinnacle of Success

Even in the face of the family disputes threatening the success of the company, back in the 1960s the Gucci logo GG, which were the initials of Guiccio Gucci's were supported by many famous women of the time, such as Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy, the wife of the president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Through support from societies elite figures such as these increased the popularity of the Gucci handbag as well as other Gucci products.

The company continued to stay at the top of the establishments of the design houses until the late 1970s when the quarrels of the family again threatened the survival of the company. Soon after the members of the family had the departments divided within the company between them and started to work independent from one another.

Through numerous disastrous business practices as well as mismanagement, the popularity as well as the respect of the company declined within the fashion industry in the decade of the 1980s. It was at this time that they also became the highest production knock offs on the counterfeit market. This reality caused even further decline in high fashion industry.

The Turning Point for the Gucci Handbag

Back in the decade of the 1980s the company again went through a period of confusion, turmoil and reorganization. It was this reorganization that ended up saving the company as well as elevating it back to its earlier standings within the fashion industry. Through the work of a gentleman named Tom Ford, a young fashion designer, Gucci again was returned to a respectable high fashion design house within the fashion industry.

Today, the Gucci handbag is still a highly sought after fashion accessory and used as a status symbol. The organization may never reach the same heights of status that it held back in the decade of the 1960s however it still enjoys a very popular standing in the world of celebrity, wealth as well as high fashion.

In United States alone, a lot of people are engaged in selling in fake branded products and according to one estimate the $20.0 million products are from fashion trade such as sunglasses, designer handbags and watches etc. Due to high demands of these products, there are people who manufacturers and sell some fake branded products more often for a quick earning.

If you have a plan to purchase a designer handbag, and want to know how to spot a fake handbag, you should first see the quality of the handbag very carefully. Although you may find a number of designer handbags available in the market, you have to see these handbags very carefully so that you can really distinguish between the genuine and fake designer handbags.

The first point to look for the designer handbag is to see the material quality, as the original branded designer handbag will have the excellent material finish and quality. The fake designer handbag can thus have a poor material quality as well as the stitching will be also of poor quality. Stitching should be carefully looked for especially inside the designer handbag as well as in and around the pockets.

Many designer handbags come in excellent packing and thus the level of packing can also give an indication about the fakeness of the handbag. You should also look for the logo design and serial number attached with most of the designer handbags. This logo can also lead to the clue about the genuineness of the branded designer handbags. You should also look for some other features such as lining and overall finish of the materials before making a decision to purchase the designer handbag.

You should opt for a genuine designer handbag and if you try to bargain the cost of the designer handbag with the seller, you may probably land with a fake designer handbag. If you bargain for the price of an original designer handbag, you should make sure that the seller is reducing cost from the original designer handbag. Many a times, the seller may sell you a fake designer handbag as soon as you start bargaining.

Leather Handbags - Deciding Between The Different Types

2008-11-09T21:08:00.000-08:00

There are a number of different handbags available, but the most popular ones are leather handbags. These handbags have a number of benefits that draw people to them. Not only do they hold up well, but they come in a lot of different styles, types, and colors. With so much variety anyone can find handbags of leather that match their personality.

Some of the most beloved benefits of buying leather handbags include the durability of the handbags, the attractiveness, and the variety. Leather is a very strong material that will not tear or fall apart as easily as most other handbag materials. It is a reliable material that will last you for years to come. Leather handbags have a great appeal. Whether the leather is made to be shiny or a little rugged, you can find a wonderful looking handbag that speaks to you. There are so many possibilities when it comes to leather handbags, because the leather can be dyed any color, can contain jewels, comes in both formal and informal designs, and has the ability to be very eye-catching.

If you are unsure what type of handbags to purchase, it helps to do a little research. First, start taking note of the handbags that the people around you are carrying. That way you are able to see how the handbags go with each person's style. Also, look in magazines at Hollywood stars and models to get an idea of what is most fashionable. Most magazines that feature stars will not only show formal leather handbags, but also some more casual styles.

Once you get an idea of what kind of leather handbags look the most interesting to you, start searching online. There are tons of websites that sell leather handbags. By looking online you can scroll through thousands of handbags quickly, so that you are able to select the perfect handbags to match your personal style. I recommend that you look for a casual leather handbag and a formal handbag. You may even want to select some in different colors to go with different outfits. If you decide to go with colors other than traditional black and brown, note that to be fashion-forward you do not want the color of your handbag to match the color of your outfit exactly. For example, current fashion says that if you are wearing green and brown, throw in something like a pink handbag to add more color and interest to your outfit.

Handmade Handbags - Making Them, Wearing Them

2008-11-04T18:15:00.000-08:00

Handmade handbags have gone from being acceptable to being popular as a fashion accessory. That’s a refreshing development considering so many things nowadays are mass produced. Whether it be a car, a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes, every product we come across nowadays is a clone that is identical to hundreds or thousands of others of its kind. Customized and individualized have been relegated to the sidelines. Not so with handmade handbags; those looking to express their individuality can do so with handmade handbags.

Handmade Handbags Turn Hobbyists Into Entrepreneurs

Making handmade handbags is one practical hobby. Its end result is something the creator or anyone else can use for his or her own purposes. If you have become good at making handmade handbags, there’s a chance that an admiring friend or acquaintance will take notice and ask you to make a handmade handbag for him or her. Then commissions, and orders for more handmade handbags may follow. Before you know it, you’re running a small business making handmade handbags!

Take the case of Lisa of Michigan., a creative craft hobbyist. Lisa discovered handmade handbags and started building a personal collection. She made a handmade handbag for herself, one for each day of the week, and a few extra handmade handbags for special occasions. Before her daily fix could have a chance to turn into a full-blown addiction, a friend asked her to custom-make a personalized handmade handbag. Lisa’s profit from the sale of her handmade handbag was enough to pay for the next two handmade handbags she intended to make. It was a revelation of sorts when Lisa got orders for more handmade handbags, and had those two handmade handbags pre-sold. What started as an engrossing hobby of creating handmade handbags was turning into a profitable venture!

It’s not hard to imagine that the case of Lisa can be replicated many times over for other crafts enthusiasts.

The Merits of Handmade Handbags

Handmade handbags enjoy distinct advantages over the mass-produced variety. If well-made, a handmade handbag can be of top quality. Handmade handbags satisfy the particular tastes of an individual, and frequently, are either virtual works of art or labors of love. Handmade handbags also tend to be durable, and may last for many years.

Handmade handbags, anyone?
