Designer Purses n Bags

Kathy Van Zeeland and Bruce Makowsky are the two design gurus behind the wonderful designs of the Makowsky range of handbags which are usually in the must-have or I-am-already-the-proud-owner-of group lists. Makowsky purses are designed with loads of feminine lines to its credit and it is here that you will find the soft folds, the shiny patent look for all-day glamour and buttons and buckles that scream for attention. If you are the one who likes your bag to be comfortable by your side and not carry a bulging monster that hogs more place than you, these this is a designer worth checking out.

Like most well known designers, these purses also suffer the fate of being sold cheap over the internet but then who’s complaining? I would personally like to get my hands on the entire luggage set by Makowsky but till that happens, I am happy to get myself one of the popular designs from these designer duo that act as an excellent daily use satchel from work. The turquoise colors are really vibrant without being cheap-looking and can the right amount of color to the extra simple office outfits that we tend to favour.

The best way to buy wholesale Makowsky handbags would be set up an alert on popular stores for when they go on sale they are definitely going to be having some really good pieces for sale. However, you can also ask a friend to get you a cheap Makowsky when she goes to Asia as there are number of sellers of these bags at throwaway prices. Personally, I find the Makowsky very comfortable to use and would recommend it anyone doing for a good purse that is both long lasting and looks lot more expensive than it really is, thanks to Kathy and Bruce’s innate sense of design.

If there is a designer handbag company which manages to bring both practicality and high quality together at an affordable price point, then it is Tignanello that you should look out for. Having been around for more than twenty years, there is a wide range of bags to choose from this brand and these ones are for keeps. Day to day, practical bags made with the right amount of detailing and colors that work so well. Tignanello does not bother with over the top designs and that in a way is a blessing!

As a fan of practical bags, most women tend to look out for cheap Tignanello handbags during annual sales or even at some online stores which might have some pieces on sale. Given than these bags are not so expensive, even a small discount makes it very affordable. One of the most popular bags is the Tignanello tote which is designed to carry everything that you would need for a full day trip. These totes are likely to be around for quite some time so it is worthwhile to invest in one and thank your lucky stars that you did!

However, buying wholesale Tignanello handbags is only possible if you have some good contacts with the manufacturers or are heading out to the Eastern part of the hemisphere where wholesale is another work for fake. Ultimately it is the finish for which you vie for this brand and that does not come when you pick up a fake (trust me…I have tried it!). With Coach going multi-color and most brands still sticking to their neutral palette of black, this is one brand which does not mind choosing everyday boring colors and still make a style statement with it and that too without robbing you of your thunder.

To be honest, any large handbag is good enough to be a designer diaper bag by most women’s standards. However, if you would like to be seen around with the baby with the right ‘it’ diaper bag then it is time to go shopping again. There is of course no dearth of designer bags to choose from the fashionable mother and you can take your pick from brands like Babymel, OiOi, Storksak and the Petunia all of which are designed to make a day around town with baby a well-organized affair. In fact it is a good idea to have two diaper bags at least so that you can match them to your outfits and have them handy should one become unusable.

One of the best diaper bags available these days is the one from Kalencom, a New Orleans based brand. They seem to have the requirements down to the last detail and there is just nothing that can be found amiss with the Kalencom diaper bag. With a range which can put most designer bag companies to shame, the bags from Kalencom come equipped to handle different situations while going out with the baby. One of the most popular items is the five piece tote set which is water proof and has bags ranging from a pacifier carrier to a weekender option.

With the options to choose from a wide range of diaper bags from this brand which by the way is very reasonably priced you might not need to look up another brand all together. However, there are many good brands available and the sky is the limit when it comes to how many bags you can have! Do keep in mind that you will outgrow diaper bags in a couple of years so buying something which can multi-task is likely to be a better choice than buying one which just does not have the scope of further utilization.

Juicy Couture gets me feeling all young as I lovingly spy through their collection of kitschy bags. Not only are Juicy purses designed to be attractive they are spacious as well as very practical. Juicy Couture has got iconic status thanks to the stars that love to sport these bags on their day out. Be it Jessica Alba’s simple Juicy bag which easily stores away baby essentials in its room interior or our very own Paris Hilton keen fondness for the Juicy Couture Shrimpton Shoulder Bag, you just cannot miss a JC bag when you see it.

The fun element of the Juicy Couture handbag revolves around the colourful styling of the bag, the design which is generally unique and very youthful and lastly the price tag which makes it so affordable. If you have a passion for handbags, then you must have a Juicy Couture purse in your collection. Just wait for the next season and see what new trends Juicy bags are going to start. If you are looking for a good bargain on this brand, just check out some of the online stores or even Juicy stores to see in-store promos.

Some of the popular Juicy bags are the Signature Satchel handbag, the Day Dreamer Terry Tote made popular by Ashlee Simpson who is an avid fan of Juicy and the Crossbody which makes so much practical sense that you just can’t ignore it! Celebrities like Nicole Ritchie (following Paris’s style statements it seems) and Jessica Simpson have unofficially become brand ambassadors for this really youth-inspired brand. Though Juicy Couture handbags might not be at the same level as an LV, it still has good brand value and an inspired fan following who have a love for design and not just the top brand names!

With hundreds of designer bags making it to the stores in 2009, 2010 can hardly be any different. As economies perk up around the world, buying for luxury items are going to increase as well and bags are likely to be in the top three items of any decent shopping list. But which bag is going to be crowned the Best Handbag 2010? Well, for the winner, we will have to live through the year and see what designers throw at up but here are a few guesses on the trends of 2010 which we can expect to hold true.

Designer handbags will definitely make an entry into more homes as we need Coach, LV and Prada as some of the leading brands gearing up for an active new year. However, new designers are also likely to have a good fan following as buyers are unlikely to be satisfied with just a couple of purchases. I would look out for Tignanello, Miu Miu and Valentino as some of the brands that would make the 2010 handbag history. For cheaper designer bags, one would need to be content with last years’ designs.

A close look at the sizes promoted by Coach handbags, one can see that medium and smaller bags are in and the size change has not gone unnoticed by Louis Vuitton handbag designers either. Prada handbags are still struggling to reduce the sizes of their bags and are likely to get there sometime later this year. So the two things that you would look out for in 2010 when it comes to designer bags is whether you are carrying the right size one and what their comfort quotient is! Color, design and the brand name are likely to come in second in the priority listing but hey….look at the bright side….here’s a new year with dozens of new bags to choose from!

You may not think much of the purse handles which you are buying a nice looking purse, but that actually plans an important part in delivering a comfort zone with the bag. As bag designs get more elaborate, purse handles also begin to get their fair share of attention. Standard purse handles include plastic, wood and jute. The wooden handles look very attractive and instantly lend a designer look and feel to the bag. Leading designers tend to use unusual handles to draw attention to their designs and give it a signature look.

Designers who focus on purse making tend to look for innovative handles even if the bags tend to be similar to each other. Most standard bags have handles from the same fabric or material but this is fast changing. One of the most innovative handles I have seen is the ones made from shells or even plastic strips! However, these materials are not the most comfortable to carry along so you should buy these only for the design factor. If looking for comfort, fabric or flat handles tend to be most popular

Bag handles need to be purchased in bulk as they are sold by accessory manufacturers and a wide range can also be found online. Do keep a good watch on the quality of the handles as they can make a whole lot of difference to how the bag turns out to be. While storing bags with stylish and elaborate handles one also needs to wrap them carefully to avoid any scratches on the surface which might make the bag look tacky. Everything said and done, every girl needs an exotic bag which a really interesting handle to lend an element of style to even the simplest dress.

2010 is going to be a tough year for handbags as there are too many cheap designer bags flooding the markets and you can find them both in the China markets of Kuala Lumpur, the night markets in Bangkok, fashion street markets in Hong Kong right down to the corner side seller in Manhattan. Brands are also becoming aware of the recession and that people are now moving towards spending less or at least making it look like they are spending less. One of the brands which are probably going to make it through 2010 are Louis Vuitton handbags as they are more iconic than any other bags around.

Other brands are likely to compete quite furiously with each other. Coach handbags in 2010 are all about breaking away from the trademark brown and black and going Technicolor…and it seems to be working as the bright colors of the new Coach collection tends to make an average day perk up. Prada handbags on the other hand are trying to shed their traditional image but are not being able to get there with their black trimming and transparent vinyl look which is just so passé.

The year 2010 is also likely to belong to vintage as many fashionistas are likely to give their cupboards a complete look through and come out with some amazing pieces of hand gear. Designer bags in 2010 are likely to include some newer brands as well such as Furla with its practical shaped bag, Mulburry with its warm quilted look and Kenneth Cole with its detailed stitching and neutral colors. On the size front, most bags will remain in the small to mid size category and the large carry-alls are likely to be seen at airports and with celebrity mothers where they double up as a diaper bag as well!

As a person who dislikes digging up the hang bag for a specific piece of paper organizer bags are a godsend. Not only they look neat with their nice structured look and feel and lack of fluff, these bags can help you get your life (which is what we carry in our handbags!) straightened out in a jiffy. A good organizer bag is one that helps you keeps your cards, phone, papers, money and the other knick knacks sorted out in an orderly fashion. There are also variations in these bags in terms of compact size, mid size or slightly larger ones which can fit in your umbrella and scarf as well.

As more and more women begin working, bags that are easy to handle and time-saving become more popular. You can even buy wholesale organizer bags from online retailers who are selling some of the surplus at really attractive prices. It is not a bad idea to have a couple of these bags in basic colors so that you can look trendy even when carrying a cheap organizer handbag. One of the all time favorite compact purses are the sling options which make you root out all the things you do not need and let you travel light.

Organizer bags are also very useful when travelling as they let you keep your travel papers well organized and deter muggers since these are not easy to snatch. In fact, you might carry a small bag with all the valuables and still carry a bigger bag which would have all the other not-so-important things placed in it. What’s good is that these bags are designed to appeal to practical women and thus the pricing is also on the practical side and you don’t need to get a dent on your pay check to buy one the cheap organizer bags.

I was astonished at the sight of Stone Mountain handbags when I first came across them in a few online stores on the internet. Stone Mountain handbags brand is one of the most respected brands for those in the accessory business, as well as among the most discriminating and fashion-conscious consumers.

The craftsmanship of these bags is unmatched…and the quality such that even cheap Stone Mountain handbags last a very long time. With their rich designs, high quality material and crafting, these handbags are sure to win a million hearts!
People who are into reselling or bulk purchases can visit their nearby wholesale Stone Mountain handbags outlets and view the wide variety of handbags available. They have a huge collection of exclusive handbags which also have an edge over pricing compared to others and the quality of all these bags is simply put - top of the line!

Last Christmas, my sweetheart gave me a beautiful handbag from a nearby Stone Mountain handbags outlet. And the best part is, even after being used for almost a year, the bag is as beautiful and neat as ever. All credit to the high quality materials and professional craftsmanship which go into the making of Stone Mountain handbags.

When I went out with my friends for the first time after getting this bag, I caught that stunned look in my best friend’s eyes the moment she saw it. She just couldn’t take her eyes off the bag, and I was sure she wished for a Stone Mountain handbag for herself as well. She being my best friend after all, I decided to present her with one on Friendship Day this year.
I took her to the nearest Stone Mountain handbags outlets and you cannot imagine her delight at the sight of the beautiful collection of handbags. When she had picked out one after much deliberation from the numerous beautiful cheap Stone Mountain handbags, I couldn’t resist buying another one for myself as well. We sure did spend some money on the bags but they were worth every cent.

When quality meets style …what you get is a Michael Kors purse! I am not exaggerating as Michael Kors continues to impress all age groups with its timeless beauty that comes across through its clean and quite mature line of bags. A recent quest to get cheap Michael Kors purses led me to a Michael Kors purses outlet that offered some of the older range of purses for a delightful price.

Is it worth taking a trek to a wholesale Michael Kors purses outlet? A friend of mine recently looked doubtful at my wish to lay my hands on a cheap Michael Kors purse…the only place she could recommend was eBay which did not satisfy or convince me.
However, while browsing through some of the catalogues, I was completely awe-struck at the sight of some fabulous Michael Kors clutch purses and couldn’t wait to get one for myself. Luckily I got the one I was looking for at a nearby Michael Kors purses outlet. I must admit, I have a kind of fond weakness towards patent leather, and naturally, I couldn’t take my eyes off the Michael Kors Large Patent Leather Clutch. The fantastic combination of black and gold is classy, sophisticated, and fun all rolled into one!

For people like me who are a bit clumsy, the magnetic closures ensure that nothing slips out of it even while partying in a club or grabbing a dinner. The zipped interior pockets make sure that once I drop my keys and credit cards in the pocket, they remain there. Even if you don’t have the gene of clumsiness in your DNA, you’ll still be left with a reassuring feeling of security as you don’t have to worry about the lack of a clasp, zipper, and so on.

The best thing about the Michael Kors Large Patent Leather Clutch is its usability. Whether you are sporting a casual, or a trendy outfit, this purse is surely going to be a great match. As for me, I’d love to flaunt it with my favorite black cocktail dress!
