Sense on fashion varies in different people’s views. Some think fashion should be simple and casual while some are in deep love with the fancy designs and exaggerating looks. Anyhow, I believe everyone has a particularly favorite brand in their hearts, which is shaped like a birthmark that could never be replaced at any time! Victoria Beckham, a loyal Hermes lover, owning almost a whole collection of Birkin is a typical example of how a fashion lover is loyal to her beloved brand. Today, let’s go for some street snaps to see what handbags the models are usually crazy about!
Firstly, Louis Vuitton is undoubtedly one of the leading brands among all. However, Monogram Canvas, Damier Canvas as well as Multicolore Canvas seem to be no more adorable for fashionable models who tend to prefer a younger collection like their ages. So some seasonal collections are the options second to none.
Right, there is also Chanel. Obviously, it’s Chanel Classic Flap again. I am a little disappointed to find no surprise from Chanel, but when I think it over, it’s true that nothing could be more classical than Chanel Classic Flap, isn’t?
Balenciaga City Bag is also a popular bag that could be seen everywhere around the corner. Through several years’ innovation, Balenciaga City Bag still remains the timeless elements which are the key to catch our attention, but at the same time, some exotic leather and special finish have come into being. The traditional lambskin leather, the most up-to-date crocodile leather and the laser perforated soft vintage finish have marked a transcendental creativity.
In the chilling winter, people would prefer to stay home rather than go outside. Percy Bysshe Shelly says “If winter comes, can spring be far away?” Well, I love the morning in spring and feel great about the spring season because it symbolizes for new start and refreshment. So we gotta wake up ourselves from the hibernating state and get well prepared for the arrival of spring. Suit up and put our hands together for some wacky Handbags today!
Accessories like fringe and rivet are commonly used on bags as the major elements for decoration purpose. Properly using those accessories can not only make a bag look appealing and classy, but also help add the delicate sensation to the bag. When they are used in excessive way, thing would be totally different. I have selected three handbags that wacky enough compared with those regularly made. The pink tote is lovely though, but the rivets that lined up in order throughout the front face seem to be a bit meretricious together with the multiple layers of drapes. Apart from that, the overall feeling is great. One or two pieces of tassel is ok with me, but if the tassels are coming out from everywhere on the bag like the waving seaweed, that would disgust me a lot. Being similar to the other two, the brown handbag is covered with rivets on the edge of the flap closure, which better manifests an extra beauty on the bag. Girls, what do you think?
Get yourselves totally refreshed and ready for the challenges from the New Year. You may need a new plan or even start over to engage yourselves in your business. Anyhow, this is a New Start again! At the beginning of 2011, what motivating us in fashion industry is a pink Balenciaga that comes in crocodile leather. Pink Balenciaga Crocodile City Bag, do you fancy?
Balenciaga is a Spanish brand founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga, who had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as “the master of us all” by Christian Dior. Balenciaga City Bag is a typical collection and has established a firm reputation because of its timeless design and classic outlook like Keepall which is always used as a symbol of Louis Vuitton. As similar as any other Balenciaga City bags, this one in pink and crocodile finish looks fabulously lovely and feminine. Though crocodile leather is rarely presented in Balenciaga’s products, it’s undeniable that Balenciaga never gives up surprising us with the innovative ideas. Let’s wait and see what Balenciaga will surprise us again in 2011.
Happy New Year! I think it must be a thrilling moment to expect the arrival of 2011. I can’t wait to countdown with my friends in the last day of 2010. How about you? Do you guys have any plans to celebrate this heart stirring moment? In the last day of this year, I want to share a very special handbag from Prada with you as an ending for 2010. This is an exceedingly rare handbag among Prada’s products because of its woven design and supple lambskin leather. Prada Lambskin Woven Top Handle, today’s favorite, is impeccably crafted from supple and soft lambskin. As soon as its release, this top handle receives loud applause from many people. The best impression that this top handle gives us is the fabulous woven design in four colors, which gives out a warm feeling in winter. Besides, the special craftsmanship reminds us of many sweet memories of the past. I truly believe with its tremendous outlook, this top handle will be highly appreciated in the coming New Year!
Right before Christmas, Lady Gaga in her consistent and wacky dressing was spotted again. Obviously, Lady gaga’s dressings are still as scary as before, but you may find that her taste on fashion has a significant change, which exudes nobility and elegance. Her black coat and the pink dress with tassel detail are two extreme conflicts, but at the same time, it sophisticatedly presents a gorgeous combination of femininity and toughness. Out of our surprise, she did not carry her customized Birkin this time but a black Chanel Classic Flap instead. Compared with her special high heels, the Chanel Classic Flap becomes an unremarkable accessory in our eyes. I am just wondering how she could walk without anyone’s assistance.
But when she wears a pair of shoes which is more than 20cm in height, I believe she has to walk under the help of her assistant. I have no idea why Gaga is crazy about this kind of wacky stuff that tortures her a lot. Does she simply want to make herself different and unique? Who knows!
Well, don’t get confused with the identity of the above Boston. It’s neither from Louis Vuitton nor Gucci. Out of our surprise, this very masculine Boston bag is from Coach. Boston bag seems to be a landmark in fashion industry because of its simple design and roomy capacity. I myself am a Boston bagaholic as its simplicity attracts me a lot. The moderate size enables us to carry either for travel or daily use, which greatly serves a multifunction purpose. This is the very point that grasps people’s attention and holds people’s love for it. Without striking difference, this distinctive Boston also features double rolled handles in leather, which allows a handheld carry. But the special pattern of CC logos printed throughout the bag deserves a particular attention. More remarkably, this Boston comes with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap for cross-body carry. If the pricy Louis Vuitton Speedy and Gucci Boston drive you away, this Coach Boston must be a great alternative. With the price less than $500, that’s reasonable enough to excite you!
Attending the parties in the coming days to celebrate the upcoming New Year is an inevitable event. Therefore, choosing a right clutch becomes as important as dressing elegantly in the party. How to dress yourselves up could be a branch of knowledge that makes you a spotlight and professional fashionista among your friends. Different situations require different dressings and accessories. If you are going to attend a party, stay still for more releases from Louis Vuitton.
The above clutches are elaborately selected from Louis Vuitton and said to be the best evening clutches for both formal and informal occasions. Take the following questions into account before making the decision. Does the color match the theme of the party? Will the party be held in a house of your friend’s or in office. Who are the attendees? Figuring out the above questions might be helpful to better find out a suitable clutch.
The end of Christmas symbolizes the arrival of the New Year. 2011 is full of expectations and curiosity. To sum up the past, we can sort a list out for the most classic in the past. Here brings some classics that witnessed the flourish and development of fashion industry in 2010.
Louis Vuitton has released different series of products in 2010 but only one is the best among them. That is Artsy Monogram Canvas! Artsy is said to be a combination of the classic Galliera and Neverfull. Its understated bohemian style better marks it a timeless bag in 2010. Besides, Louis Vuitton Monogram Demin has also released the Sunrise and Sunset collection in vibrant colors such as green, mandarin and rose. When talking about classic handbag, Gucci must have something to say. Gucci is famous for its iconic beige/ebony GG fabric and brown leather trimmings. “Secret” Medium Top Handle is exactly the typical handbag that comes with all the classic features of Gucci. In addition to the above features, this Secret is added two pieces of crocodile leather on the front, interpreting an exotic touch. Girls, have you found your beloved?
Prada 2011 Spring/Summer promo, which was directed by Steven Meisel, has been sophisticatedly released. Getting rid of the excessive rendering and decorations, the photographer has perfectly made a great use of the simply and purely colored background to complement the vibrant Latin American style that filled with passion and energy. Performed by Mariacarla Boscono, Arizona Muse, Kinga Razjak, Zuzanna Biljoch and Tati Cotliar, Baroque printings, Pop color shawls, tropical elements and navy strips served by the fabulous green, orange, blue and pink present a bravely and exaggeratedly stylish trend. Therefore, freshness, braveness, exaggeration and obviousness are the key words to demonstrate the beauty of this Prada 2011 Spring/Summer promo.
The retro hair style of the models is also a stunning spot in this promo. Combined with the outfits, wildness could be also fully embodied in this collection.
Right before Nov. 30th, there was an incredibly special bag shown in London Selfridges Store. This bag is from the famous luxury brand that many women fancy, Hermes! Named by Grace Kelly, this legendary Hermes Kelly is made to be a chic and sophisticated bag for business and daily use. But what if a normal Hermes Kelly is enlarged to be 3 meters high? Don’t get it wrong that this is just the giant model for display only. I am seriously telling you that it is made of the same materials as the normal size of Hermes Kelly, and more interestingly, this is not only a bag for decoration purpose but it comes with a door that enables you to enter the bag to have a physical experience of being inside the bag. Come and check out more interesting details of this giant Hermes Kelly!
Hermes Kelly is almost 3 meters high including the handle. This giant Kelly stood in Selfridges last month in London.
Talking about Proenza Schouler in the past two years, people may totally have no idea what it is. Proenza Schouler (hereafter PS) is a New York based modern luxury womenswear and accessories brand which was founded in 2002 by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, both worked with Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors respectively. Shortly after its establishment, PS has made a great achievement in fashion industry and become a universal luxury brand accepted by many fashionable ladies! One of my colleagues is a super fan of PS. She could list almost every item from PS and distinguish the difference in between. Recently, she purchased a replica Proenza Schouler PS1 online and was very pleased with it. AS she said:“I love this PS for its simplicity and modernity. The silhouette is very distinctive with stereovision and I personally think a girl with PS will give a sense of independence because it exudes a mature feeling unlike some other brands with colorful patterns which will present a girlish feeling”. I have personally looked over the bag and been deeply attracted by its gorgeous look which is supposedly designed to be a work bag and daily carry for business wears and casual outfits. The special feature could be obviously found on its double carrying ways-handheld and shoulder carry, which has perfectly demonstrated its business and casual look. This PS1 features the capacity that large enough for a laptop, which is once again proved to be a perfect work bag. Assembled with bronze hardware, this PS1 embodies a strong sensation of retro feeling.
Coach has held a Fall/Winter collection display for men earlier this year in its Shanghai Flagship store. The store was filled with a leisure atmosphere all around, which gave us a pleasant shopping experience when walking inside. Actually, Coach was originally a brand mainly specializing in small leather items for men in the early years of its establishment. Not until 1960s did Coach put a number of women’s handbags and particularly design them to be more affordable. Following are the selected items from the said collection. For they are crafted from the supple leather that gives a soft yet durable texture, people fancy the way they look and the complex processing method that Coach takes.
Being an indispensable luxury bag in leather finish, the special feature of this Clarkson Tote was inspired by the wide handles and hand-made polished suede. Either the size or the function is a perfect essential for daily or travel use! Fulton is the collection mainly for wallet, agenda and passport holder, which is based on the principle of elegant tone in color.
Hudson collection is famous for its large handbag, tote and messenger bag and dedicates to making every piece of them a real artistic work.
Smithton, one of the collections from Coach, comes with some special details like the manually installed rivet, cowhide leather band and the cotton fabric, bringing the bags a neat and simple look.
Are you still carrying a brick-like purse? Want to make a difference? Today’s recommendation must perfectly satisfy your appetite. So we have Gucci 1973 Small Shoulder Bag here today! This bag seems not to be a Gucci-style bag that Gucci usually inherits, but the double G detail on the flap makes everything different and brings back its timeless and never changeable status in fashion school. More interestingly, Gucci does not only limit the material simply in one type but makes 3 variations to meet different people’s demands. Among all, there are cowhide leather, python leather and ostrich leather varying the texture of the bags.
Above is the first variation in cowhide leather with 3 colors available in the market, black, sand and white are typically the common colors suitable in different situations. Whether you are in vibrant or dull colored dresses, these colors are the choices second to none. Being different from some long clutches, this Gucci 1973 Small Shoulder Bag features a roomy capacity that spacious enough for women’s beloved accessories such as lipstick, mirror, cell phone, iPod and cosmetics.
Being the same with the Shoulder Bag in cowhide leather finish, the above Gucci 1973 Small Shoulder Bag also comes with the essences of double golden G detail and single chain strap. But crafted from exotic python leather in gunmetal, this Shoulder Bag exudes a special texture that makes the bag more glamorous and appealing as a whole.
Ostrich leather products are mostly visible in Hermes and Prada, but Gucci seems to have caught the right trend of ostrich fever. Ostrich leather is rare and not easily accessible in the market hence expensive. But the overall look of this Gucci 1973 Small Shoulder Bag in military green ostrich is such gorgeous that probably no one could resist the charm it delivers. This Shoulder bag in ostrich is priced at $1500, the most expensive in this collection. So you’ve got to think it twice before making up your mind to get one!
Many merchants in Europe usually attach particular importance to the window display. Galleries Lafayette and Printemps in Paris will launch a window display show during this period each year. Different themes and decorations will be beautifully presented in the display show which attracts many fashionistas and shoppers all over the world.
If you never have a chance to pay a physical visit to the Hermes boutique in Champs-Elyseies, follow Cathy to satisfy your visual stimulation. The Hermes boutique is covered with different kinds of flower that seems more likely to be a flower store instead. Red, yellow, green, pink and violet etc are full of strong sensation stimulating our eyes and activating the rhythm in our heart. Each little tiny piece of art is absolutely a wonderful craftsmanship that perfectly complements the colorful Hermes bags. Purses in pink, white, green, red as well as ruby under the decoration of the flowers look like the little angels flying in a magical wonderland. When entering the store, you will feel as if you are immersed in a world full of fairy tales. A little warm, a little sweet and a little cute, those are what the display brings! Enjoy yourselves in the dreamland.
Luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci are undoubtedly the fashion brands that are irresistible for many of us. Buying a real Louis Vuitton wallet may cost a month savings for white collars, let alone a handbag, which at least costs more than 2 months incomes. Since buying luxury handbags is quite unreachable for us ordinary citizens, why not consider buying a perfect copy and make carrying luxury brands possible? Replica has become a very flourishing business all over the world and the replicators have made luxuries reachable for those not so rich people. Though replica industry is getting mature in the markets, people still take buying replicas with a grain of salt because it’s hard to tell a good replica online!
The above Cabas Rivington bags are respectively taken from Louis Vuitton official site and Pursesmoda, a replica site for luxury handbags that I mentioned before. I think you must be amazed at them like I was and I guess you are unable to tell which one is real or knockoff. I can only say that replica industry seems to be a spy that is capable to capture every detail and perfectly convert it into an identical image. As perfect as the real Cabas Rivington, the above replica on the right is also crafted from the same materials including Damier Ebene Canvas, cowhide leather and brass golden hardware with Louis Vuitton logo engraved. Incredibly, every detail and markings are exact and hard to tell the difference from the real one. Since replica industry has come into our life, why not buy a knockoff that looks exactly the same with the authentic at the price ten times lower than the real one?
