About a month ago, the Purse Blog team attended the Kayne West Shoe launch at Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour. We did not leave with a new pair of sneakers, but I left crushing on a new handbag. One of our favorite SA’s at LV (the entire staff at LV Bal Harbour is amazing) showed me a new clutch that I adored. The Louis Vuitton handbag is the all-around perfect attention getter. The patent leather appears liquified and the LV signature in golden brass finishes the clutch off beautifully.

The original Vernis bags were named after streets in downtown NYC. When I first saw the name of this clutch I wondered if Louis Vuitton named it after another famous city, South Beach. After talking with my SA at LV today I can confirm that the Sobe clutch is indeed named after South Beach, which is perfectly fitting for this clutch. All about style and easy to take out into the nightlife, this clutch is nothing but hot. Fergie wore the much loved belt that accompanies this bag to the LV show last month. Size is 4.3″ x 10.2″ x 2.2″.

The classic hobo makes its debut in episode 12 of season 3, to the awe and wonderment of the show’s main characters – and it’s been having a similar effect on audiences in the States ever since. Kylie Minogue, Mary-Kate Olsen and Rihanna are also big fans of the bag, and have all been spotted wearing it in recent weeks. Rendered in black, the bag is timeless chic, for everyday or evening wear.

Economic crisis has no effect on people who love Hermes handbags.According to the data of Bain & Co. Sales company , although luxury goods sale is failing because of the continuing recession in Economic crisis , and saleroom has been fallen.However, Hermes sale is steadily increasing,especially its core products- Kelly and Birkin.

631 Hermes were sold in the Hermes auction twice a year which was held by Artcurial a few days ago.Volume of business reached 824,206 euros,which was outstripping last auction total 725,101 euros and set a new record.

A lots of retro products were showed on the auction such as silk fabric kerchief 、jockey boot .Most of the retro products were handbags which represented approximately 2/3 of that total.These were unique products that you couldn’t see it in the common market.

Michael Tonello who spent 160 million in buying Birkin sold it in this auction .And he said that HERMéS is not only a kind of fashion but also a investment.

Reselling Hermes could be dating from World War Ⅱ. Peter Nitz who openned a luxury goods shop in the past recalled and said that uncommon colour handbags’ price was 40% higher than original price.

However, Hermes company always stays away from such second-hand products sales .And they refuse to pass an opinion.

We often mention color driving movement when we talk about constellation .No matter it is effective or not, most of you would like to have a try. But it is hardly poisonous. It would be better if it bring benefits to you. YSL handbags–YSL Christmas Day limited edition Belle De Jour leather goods line lauched newly takes a fortune term. Red metallic leather goods looks rather jubilant. It is natural that shiny Belle De Jour leather goods are driving movement when opportunity knocks.

YSL Christmas Day limited edition Belle De Jour leather goods include billfold 、zip wallet、handbags、change purse、card holder、card package and other produts. The design is brief sprightly. Each product is printed YSL logo. Major suit quality stands now. Belle De Jour means daytime beauty, and it is also the name of a famous French film. Catherine Deneuve’s beauty is so striking in that film. That is why YSL choose it as the name of this Christmas Day limited edition line .YSL wishes to motivate and discover the power within women and they could rise to occasion in the next year.

In Chinese culture, red is a festive color. Whether western Christmas Day or New Year’s Day 、Spring Festival,

I’m not sure which one it is, but I’m absolutely sure that I love the Yves Saint Laurent Flap Shoulder Bag. There’s a beauty in its simplicity that I find irresistible.

And really, how could you not love it, or at least appreciate the restrained hand that created it? The leather that YSL chose is sumptuous, textured and with slight color variations, but none of those things is present in quantities that would make the bag look over-processed or unedited. The folds that create the flap are elaborate and luxurious, but when you look at the closed bag, they all fall perfectly in to line.

The hardware on the bag might be my favorite aspect. The hook handle attachments are something that YSL has shown on several other bags this season, and I can’t get over how much I like them. They’re sculptural and elegant while still being thick and tough; it’s an effect that matches exactly with the soft but weathered leather that makes up the bag, and the details are subtle enough to not overwhelm the deceptively simple construction.

I know some people will say that this bag is boring, but I would strenuously disagree. Everything that’s done with this bag is done with the utmost care and attention to detail, and I’d rather that a designer focus on getting a few key things exactly right than bog down a bag with poorly conceived design elements just for the sake of visual interest. My love affair with YSL continues

Ladies and gents, take a deep breath before you look at this bag. It is just *that* gorgeous. I need this bag to be mine. I know that we’ve all been debating for quite some time now about “to stud or not to stud”.

However, in this instance, hands down, studding was the way to go. This bag exudes all of the grace, elegance and sexiness that Christian Louboutin has been know for with shoes. And now, with handbags.

The Christian Louboutin Studs Marianna Shoulder Bag boasts a hefty price, but this is a bag I would be willing to save up and then splurge for. While I usually say that too many studs is a bad thing, I don’t think that at all here. I love the mixed size silver metal dome studs all over the black bag. In typical Louboutin fashion, you know you need a splash of red and you will find that with the red cotton lining. Like Louboutin shoes, this bag does not come cheap. But, if you were going to save up for one big handbag purchase, would this bag be in contention? ]]> http://handbag-site.com/index.php/christian-louboutin-studs-marianna-shoulder-bag.html/feed 1 http://handbag-site.com/index.php/5-reasons-why-everyone-should-own-a-balenciaga-bag.html http://handbag-site.com/index.php/5-reasons-why-everyone-should-own-a-balenciaga-bag.html#comments Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:23:16 +0000 admin http://handbag-site.com/5-reasons-why-everyone-should-own-a-balenciaga-bag.html

In the interest of full disclosure, it’s important for you all to know that I’m an unapologetic Balenciaga fangirl. I can’t be unbiased on the brand’s classic Motorcycle Bags because I love them too much – I’ve owned four myself, in three different shapes, which puts the brand at the top of my all-time ownership list (I like to spread the money around, usually).

As such, I feel as though I must vociferously make the case for the brand at any chance I get, and for anyone that has been considering one of Balenciaga’s bags as a future purchase, I have but one piece of advice: take the plunge. And also, I have a few reasons why…

5. The colors! The colors! We’re talking about Balenciaga, after all. They make everything from blacks, browns, and beiges to the brightest (and best) brights in the business. Jewel tones, neons, anything you want. They’ve made it all, and they give us a half dozen or so new colors twice a year, every year. Sometimes they’re throwbacks to past favorites that are no longer available, but usually they’re a fresh crop of hues to build new outfits around. Everyone has their favorite – mine’s 2007 Violet.

4. A shape for everyone and everyone in their shape Balenciaga makes their classic motorcycle bag in almost as many sizes and shapes as they do colors. From coin purses to clutches to overnight bags, no matter what you need to carry and how you prefer to carry it, there’s something for you. Hobos and satchels make up most of the line, but even then, there are a variety of sizes to pick from.

3. Light as a feather, but not stiff as a board Even in the iterations that have giant hardware, Balenciaga bags are still the lightest that I’ve ever carried. The leather is cut thin instead of the clunky, thick material that many brands prefer, and it makes them easier to carry for long periods of time than most other bags. Even with the thin leather, I’ve never had a ripping or durability problem, and I carry my bags to death and do them no favors. For my purposes, they’re the perfect combination.

2. Even when they’re girly, they’re still edgy Balenciaga is the only brand that has legitimately forced me to contemplate spending money on a bag that’s neon green or bubblegum pink (and I hate pink), and that’s because that in any color, they still manage to look modern and a bit tough. But not too tough! They’re not entirely covered in studs or buckles, just a few, and it’s just enough to balance out any color choice (or to make something like black even better).

1. Not everyone owns one, and they never will I’ve heard people say that the motorcycle bags are played out, or that everyone has one, or whatever. It’s simply not true. The brand is harder to find both online and in stores than almost all of the other major brands that we cover, and the much-sought-after colors are made in relatively low numbers. Past favorites sell for over (sometimes well over) retail on eBay, and unless you live in one of the world’s most fashionable cities, it’s likely that you almost never come across another woman carrying one. I’d wager that the percentage of Americans that are even aware of their existence doesn’t come close to double digits. When you compare that to signature looks from other brands, they’re still relatively exclusive bags.

Still unconvinced? Fair enough, but maybe one day you’ll see that magic color that you feel like Balenciaga chose just for you, and things will all become clear. Trust me.

For most women it is a good alternative to go for replica designer handbags. While nothing beats the authentic and genuine articles, replica designer handbags are the next best thing especially when we are financially limited to the high priced counterparts.

Handbags are one of the must-haves of women. Getting Balenciaga replica handbags may just do the trick especially when we are financially constrained to buy a genuine one. These replica designer handbags can simulate the elegance and quality of their branded counterparts. Not all of us can afford to buy luxurious designer purses; and fine replicas are practical alternative when we like to make a fashion statement.
If you want to get a bit cool in your gift giving ideas then perhaps you can seriously consider giving a Balenciago handbags. If you want to be on the safe side when you are giving gift to somebody you hardly knew or are not so familiar with them you can go for replica types. These discount designer handbags are great gifts for a variety of situations and can be your practical alternative if you want to be a bit chic but not willing to splurge. Of course, you can’t possibly give the real ones when you can’t even buy one for yourself.

These are the honest simulations of the authentic designer ones. The quality and workmanship is something that you can be proud of. These are not the cheap knock-offs whose quality and durability are definitely inferior. Replica designer handbags are practically the same in all aspects and you get the same satisfaction as with their authentic counterparts without hurting your budget.
If you want to go out elegant and flaunt a classy look while attending a social gathering, on top of your fashionable dress, a carefully selected replica designer handbag such as Balenciaga replica handbag will definitely do the trick. You can be trendy and not wastrel at the same time with such a fine purse. ]]> http://handbag-site.com/index.php/balenciaga-replica-handbags-are-the-coolest-way-to-be-in-vogue.html/feed 61 http://handbag-site.com/index.php/hunting-for-the-perfect-balenciaga-bag.html http://handbag-site.com/index.php/hunting-for-the-perfect-balenciaga-bag.html#comments Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:20:34 +0000 admin http://handbag-site.com/hunting-for-the-perfect-balenciaga-bag.html

I have long been telling the story of my collection being Balenciaga-less. It is still Balenciaga-less, even though Vlad and I were on a mission to find me the perfect first Balenciaga bag when we were in NYC. What went wrong you ask, I’ll tell you below.

We started off at the Balenciaga NY store, which is truly off the beaten path near the Hudson River on 22nd Street. The store itself was confusing. As we walked through a cave-like entry way with boisterous music echoing loudly, we wondered if we ended up in the actual store or Balenciaga corporate headquarters. It was their store indeed, with fewer handbags than I expected and service lower than sub-par. Even if there were more BBags in the back room, no one asked us if we needed help, so we only saw what was on the floor. The bag selection was bleak and the service embarrassing, so we left still Balenciaga-less.
The next stop to try to find a Balenciaga bag was Barneys NY, which was right around the corner from our hotel. The service was impeccable. I was not certain of what color I was looking for, but both sale associates that helped Vlad and I went above and beyond. In fact, one SA filled both of her arms from shoulder to wrist with all of the Balenciaga City bags they had in the store. To my disappointment, none of them were a combination of color and hardware that I was looking for.

We left Barneys NY without a Balenciaga bag but with the pleasure of having received great service. Eventually I ended up with a different handbag on our NYC trip, a black Birkin. Yet I will still so disappointed not to find a Balenciaga bag. Don’t get me wrong, a new Birkin is out-of-this-world-amazing, but I had my mind set on a BBag.

Dear PurseBlog reader, I need your help. For all of you that know your Balenciaga colors and styles, help me finally find my first B-Bag. What I am looking for: Balenciaga City, smooshy leather, giant hardware, very wearable color (an everyday and every season color).

Help me out!
