What's in a name? The Brand Snobbery Syndrome
Designer Fashion Brands - Click HerePriya Tuli
"So how come don't you have one of those handbags with the little monograms marching all over them that everyone seems to favor these days?" Nothing escapes my mother's right eye. She lost peripheral vision in the left eye many years ago, so one would think she might miss catching at least some of life's smaller details. Not a chance! She's talking about the branded `designer' handbags that with-it women have been slinging nonchalantly over their shoulders for years. You know the ones, with the C(hanel), D(ior), P(rada), D&G or LV initials on them.
"Nope, I've never aspired to own one, for two compelling reasons: one, why would I want to use a bag with somebody else's initials on it? And two, why would I want to pay some ridiculously inflated amount for their initials?" But my mother's not satisfied with my response; she's in bear-baiting mode, and would like to hear me growl. "A branded product is a branded product, right? You're so finicky about your brand of coffee, how is that any different from people being finicky about their brand of handbag?" she prods.
This is a trick question. I pause for a long moment before I respond, thinking, ohhh no, you don't want to start me off, Mum! "Ohhh yes, I do!" she shoots back, reading my mind like a pro. Okay, then, here we go. Yes, I'm a brand-snob too, particularly about consumables like the coffee I prefer or the shower gel I use or the mineral/fire water I drink, that sort of thing. But the whole `brand-name accessory' concept? Defeats me!
"You choose a brand, any brand, because you identify with it, you like what it stands for. The taste, smell, cut, values, standards, whatever. My local brand of coffee is top quality. It's locally produced, roasted and packaged; I buy my freshly ground weekly supply, sniff it all the way home, and store it in the fridge so it retains its aroma. (Yes, I'm a borderline fanatic about my coffee.) "I refuse to pay outlandish sums of money for some trumped-up global brand that buys beans on the cheap from subsistence-level coffee farmers in Africa and Latin America -- and then charges a premium for "value added" (snob-value added?) lattes and cappuccinos, in throw-away containers with a fancy logo, that everybody wants to be seen drinking from.
I mean hello, people, Java is famous the world over for its coffee! When in Java, drink Java! "As for handbags, if it were just quality that people were after, they wouldn't give two hoots who else saw the initials. Branded accessories are designed so everyone can see exactly how much you paid for them. "Besides, how about you? Why don't you have one of those fancy branded bags yourself? You've been using that grotty old hand-woven jute bag since the year dot, and you won't even let me replace it for you. It's so full of holes your keys are going to drop out one of these days!"
My long-winded monologue is going to take her a while to counter, so I wander off in search of a caffeine hit while she gathers her thoughts for another assault. I jump out of my skin, nearly smashing my favorite Bodum coffee plunger; she has stealthily followed me into the kitchen and is waggling her index finger at me, an old habit that triggers my Pavlovian "garrrh" reflex even now.
"I'll have you know I bought that jute bag six years ago, from the artisan's bazaar, so the money went to the person who made it, and not some sticky-fingered middleman. It might look a bit shabby, but those holes are the weave pattern and it still has some good years left in it, just like I do!" My mother has finally lost it. She is now comparing herself to an old jute bag full of holes? I refrain from following that train of thought through to its logical conclusion, for obvious reasons.
"Here, I bought you one as well. They're useful when you go supermarketing, so you can tell them you don't want those infernal plastic bags," she says. "Oh, nice! So why didn't you junk yours and buy yourself a new one, too?" "I gave them all away, this is the last one and it's for you."
"You drew my initials on it?!"
"With permanent marker. You like them?"
"Yes, particularly the wonky twisted ones!"
"I thought you would."
I look at her. I look at the bag. "Don't you start!" she warns, waggling her index finger at me again. "Ha!", I said, "your old bag just gave me a brand new bag!" And we're both hooting with laughter. As I've just shared an inside joke, I might have to pay the price in blood later. Anybody out there Group B+, in case I run short?

Designers Fendi Handbags Review
by cnike
Need to intensify your look for the day? Well look no further. Fendi just came out with a bunch of new neon wallets that will surely brighten up your summer outfit.
The clutches are new to the House’s small accessory purse line for summer and so far are only available at eluxury.com where they hold a retail price of $395 per pop.
Dressed in a coated leather embossed double-F mini-signature pattern in the colors aqualicious Blue, deep bloody Red, and willy wonky gold bar Orange. This neon newbie also features a front flap closure decorated with a polished silver metal buckle, that pops open to retail the logo textile lining which features eight card slots, clear ID window, and three flat pockets. Measurements: 7.3?x 3.75?x 0.5?
Fendi To You Embellished Convertible Bag Shoulder bag by day then fold it up and clutch it close by night. The “To You Embellished Convertible Bag” by Fendi is the newbie to the house designed for you, the bagista that wants a bag that can be used for more than one occasion – day purse and a night bag in one.
Have you discovered the new 2 in 1 Fendi purses? Dressed in a wild confetti-like wine colored fabric and tonal python trim. When upright in the full shoulder bag position, Fendi’s name is signed on the front, but (am I the only one that sees this) when you fold the bag up and convert it to the oversized clutch, it reads “INDI”. Weird.
Price. Here’s the shocker, this Embellished Convertible Bag retails for a whopping $5,040 per pop. A bit steep for such a bag if you ask me. If you like the convertible “To You” bag idea but are looking to not spend over $2k then check out the 80’s-looking taupe suede and leather geometric pattern version.
Ashley Olsen really Loves her Vintage Fendi Tote Some people just wear a bag too much. But even though Ashley (as well as MK) has used this gorgeous vintage Fendi crocodile tote over-and-over again for well over a year, I will never get sick of it. I am in love.
The latest sighting of Ash and her fav tote was yesterday, while hanging out with her sis in Malibu California.side note: If you love this tote keep an eye out. I couldn’t find one up for sale at the moment, but every now and then one pops up, usually carrying a price of around $9k. Really this Fendi crocodile handbag is the best investment ever and will truly last you for years, even decades to come.
Designer Fendi B. Buckle Handbag
I love the Fendi B Bag, even though every other person walking down the street has this memorable bag. The oversized B. buckle Fendi handbags made their smashing first appearance on the spring 2006 runway, and season after season the designers over at Fendi attempt to dazzle us with a new dressing. This one in particular is the Pink Patent B-Bag. I do love the color pink but the fact that this bag is dressed from head-to-toe in this color, in my eyes it’s slightly shy of dazzling me. Don’t get me wrong, I do l-o-v-e the color pink (I own many pink bags) but there is just too much bubble gum pink (looks slightly plain / boring). However, if this bag was available in a two-tone color pattern I probably would fall head-over-heals. It is after all the lovely original Fendi B. Buckle Bag.

The Family Feud over the Gucci Handbags
from factory outlet handbags
The Italian fashion design house of Gucci began in Florence, Italy in 1921 by a man named Guccio Gucci. When he opened his small, family owned leather and saddle goods store, he had no idea that the Gucci handbag would grow to become one of the best known symbols for wealth and luxury.
Italian Fashion History in the Making
In its initial phase, Gucci's work was known for its quality and craftsmanship. He hired skilled craftsmen to work with him and together they build a successful leather goods company. It was in 1938 that they opened a boutique in Rome and the business kept growing. Gucci, himself, was the designer for most of their products and in 1947 he introduced the bamboo handled Gucci handbag that is has become a company icon. In addition to the Gucci handbag, the company is well known for its family arguments, disputes and differences of opinion when it comes to company operations. The family conflicts over inheritances, stock holdings, business operations and other family issues have often threatened the overall success of the familyowned business.
The Height of Success
Even with the family disputes threatening the company's success, in the 1960's the Gucci logo GG, which were Guccio Gucci's initials, was supported by many famous women, such as Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy, the wife of the United States President, John F. Kennedy. This support increased the popularity of the Gucci handbag and other Gucci products.The company remained at the top of the design house establishments until the late 1970's when the family quarrels again threatened the company's survival. Soon the family members divided departments of the company between them and began to work independent of one another. Through mismanagement and disastrous business practices, the company declined in popularity and respect within the fashion industry in the 1980's. It was during this time that they also became the highest produced knockoffs on the counterfeit market. This fact caused even further decline in the high fashion industry.
The Turning Point for the Gucci Handbag
In the 1980's the company again experienced turmoil, confusion and reorganization. It was this reorganizing the saved the company and elevated it back to it's earlier standings in the fashion industry. Through the work of Tom Ford, a young fashion designer, Gucci was returned to a respectable high fashion design house. Today, the Gucci handbag is still a sought after status symbol. The company might never reach the same status it held in the 1960's but it still enjoys a popular standing in the world of wealth, celebrity and high fashion.

Classic Chanel Handbags: The First Chanel Handbags
from high-fashion.be
With matching fabrics, trims and fine details, the first Chanel handbags were a classic fit to the rest of the brand. When a woman in the early 1900s would dress, she could easily create a matched outfit complete with her Chanel clothes and accessories.
The Little Black Bag It is no surprise that when Chanel invented the “Little Black Dress” along with it came the “Little Black Bag.” Then, when she expanded her costume jewelry line, her handbags began to be accessorized with gold chains clasps and jeweled buttons.
Her signature bag become the black handbag with the gold chain shoulder strap, Coco herself never left the house without it. Along with her liberation of women through clothing, Coco also incorporated this mission within her handbag collection. In the 1930s, she created the first handbag that could hang on a woman’s shoulder. With the idea that freeing a woman’s hand movements would free her personality, the first shoulder bag was born. The Chanel shoulder bag had a slow beginning, but really took off in the 1950s.At this time, Chanel re-released a slimmed down, squared and quilted shoulder bag version, which became an instant status symbol for the next fifty years.
Chanel Bags Today In many ways, today’s Chanel handbags have changed very little. The timeless fashion of a Chanel bag highlights the collection of many purse enthusiasts. Aspects of the original bags that have been maintained are: The original quilted leather. The textured fabrics. The chains. The signature symbol of two CC's. With a classic and ageless appearance, the Chanel collection for fall 2006 still offers similar trends to history, from tweeds to chains, -- and always a “little black bag.” The product line is limited and only varies slightly with each new season.
Chanel Reporter handbags have been around for quite some time and remain one of the most popular styles of Chanel handbags. Out of all of the Chanel handbags that are available on the market now and have been in the past, the Reporter handbag is one of the most widely recognized, even by those that do not own a single Chanel bag. While the Reporter bag changes slightly from year to year, it has remained largely the same because it has been so successful and seems to have a very wide appeal stretching even to those that do not typically buy designer handbags.
If you aren't quite sure what Chanel Reporter handbags are or how to distinguish them from other Chanel handbags, they are commonly described as the puffy looking bags with several pockets. The look is understated by stylized at the same time. Many of the bags have an almost quilted look, although that would be quilted leather, far from anything that you would put on your bed to sleep with! Chanel Reporter handbags are generally made of leather on the exterior and then the interior is either satin or brushed leather for an all over classy look and feel. The outside of the bag is often stitched in a pattern as mentioned above and has two to four pockets on it. Overall the bag has sort of a square look to it with 10-12 inch handles on it. Most of the Chanel Reporter handbags also have at least one zipper pocket on the inside so that you can hold valuables or even a wallet in a secured pocket.
Not only do Chanel Reporter Handbags look great and have a great reputation as being very fashionable, each one is unique. Every reporter bag is issued its own hologram authorization number and card. This is the way to ensure that the Chanel reporter bag that you have purchased or that you are looking into purchasing is not a replica. With so many knock offs out there today, this hologram is one of the best ways to ensure that you are buying Chanel and nothing less. If in doubt, you can always look at the stitching and the overall craftsmanship of the handbag to see if you are dealing with the real deal or not. Chanel is very detail oriented and because the reporter bag does have many small details you will likely be able to discredit the fakes before you even consider paying for them.
If you want to buy a real Chanel Reporter Handbag for less than retail price you will not have a hard time doing just that. At the end of each season you'll find that your Chanel dealer will mark some of the bags down to make room for some of the newer bags. You can find that retailers will mark their Chanel bags down up to 30% or more when they need to make room for more products, and you can take advantage and save a couple hundred dollars. You can also shop on the Internet and find that many people are either selling their own personal Reporter handbags or there are discount or wholesale dealers online that will offer you a handbag at a great price. Of course, when you are buying online you should proceed with care to ensure that you are getting a real Chanel Reporter handbag, but generally you'll have an easy time of it.
The Chanel Reporter Handbag really is one of the most beautiful that you can find, whether it is new or old. Not only is it very stylish, it is also very functional. Whether you are a fashion guru, a businesswoman, or a stay at home mom, the Chanel Reporter will work for you and your life quite well.
Chanel revolutionized haute couture fashion by completely replacing the traditional corset with the comfort and casual elegance of simple suits and dresses. She introduced to the world hersignature cardigan jacket in 1925, introducing a more sultry and seductive definition to “sexy.” She had numerous other major successes that changed the fashion industry including the ever popular "'Chanel suit'", an elegant creation composed of a knee-length skirt and trim, boxy jacket, traditionally made of woven wool with black sewing trim and gold buttons, worn with large costume-pearl necklaces. Elite women of high societies around the world began to flock to the now legendary Rue Cambon boutique to commission couture outfits from her. The House of Chanel became an icon of elegance and from then on, the name “Chanel” became synonymous to elegance, wealth, and elitism, as well as the ultimate sign of French high class, la coquetterie.
Although Coco began with hats and clothing, designer handbags were a natural progression. A purse is an extension of a woman’s wardrobe, along with her shoes and perfume. Chanel handbags are an expansion of the Chanel fashions, with the same traditions being incorporated into the bags’ designs.

Most women carry handbags, and some men do, too. Designer handbags have become very popular over the past decade because as an accessory, a handbag adds style to any outfit. Handbags are functional and serve a purpose, too. People are on the go from dawn to dusk and need to tote essentials. Make the tote exciting, stylish and fashionable without paying full price.
