Crocodile Totes

Crocodile skin products have been highly sort after in recent years, much debates continue whether or not culling of animals for the sake of fashion is justifiable but we won’t weigh in on that today, we would like to showcase a beautiful Crocodile Tote from the well know handbag designer  Nancy Gonzalez.

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Tote

Due to the sheer amount of handbag reviews and purse previews we feature on our designer handbag website this is a huge statement but this Tote by Nancy Gonzalez would have to be mine all time favorite Tote i have seen to date, I was so intrigued by this Crocodile skin tote that i was ordered 3 of them for my upcoming bridesmaids for my wedding (September 6th) .

Again this Tote does not come cheap at just under $3,500- this is a quality product and it’s not often i recommend spending much more than $1,000- on laddies accessories but this is absolutely stunning and the picture above does not do this  Crocodile purse it’s due respect. This product can be purchased from amazon / eBay or directly from the designers website.

Emilio Pucci clutch

Now this is as unique as it gets, Fashion designer Emilio Pucci has released a new line of handbags and purses and while there is a market for laddies clutches this clutch by Emilio Pucci is one out of the box.

Emilio Pucci Clutch

Labeled the Emilio Pucci Bean Clutch, this very unique clutch has been turning heads all over the world, To complement the great design the clutch has a metallic navy blue pearl finish, the exterior is hardened to prevent any damage and while we have not received one to review we are unsure of the official measurements, however just judging from the images above it’s hard to imagine just exactly what might be able to fit into this clutch.

Personally the $1400- price tag is a little rich for me, and i would not be able to justify this purchase but that is just my personal opinion, you may in fact want to add this to your handbag collection.

Over the coming weeks we will preview more products from the Emilio Pucci design house, so please bookmark our website and check back shortly, or you may even use our handbag search engine feature to search for only related searches.

Red is the most popular color

Red handbags believe it or not take up more than 65% of the designer handbag market, these stats come from online handbag sales and not in store sales. Red was popular back in the 70’s and 80’s but of late red handbags have made a huge comeback due to people wanting to stand out from the crowd, Red totes are also seeing an increase in sales.

Louis vuitton sistina pm

Louis vuitton has a new collection out and as you can see on your left is the pick of the crop, This quality handbag from the Louis vuitton is called Sistina PM, firstly you will notice the modern style yet this bag is more than practical the Sistina PM has a internal pocket that fits a blackberry, and is one of the very few handbags that accommodate for a personal PDA or blackberry.

Now lets focus on the inside now, not only does the external look please the eye the inside of the Sistina is lined with a classy red microfiber material, a rich leather trim, a golden Louis vuitton engraved buckle, and the feature that stands out besides the pure quality of this great handbag is the adjustable shoulder strap, many designers forget this feature.

This handbag has already been seen with many celebs on the streets of Hollywood,  The newest Louis vuitton handbag has even been featured on the red carpet months before it’s official release. Anyhow this sexy designer handbag is now available for purchase for a small price of $1700- (USD).. ok so maybe not so cheap.

Knock-off’s in the news again

Knock-off handbags are again causing designers to lose out on much needed income, we all know that the life of a handbag designer is a cut throat world, some make it, some fail and are forced to go back to full time jobs. US authorities have raided several warehouses in Texas where 10,000+ knock off designer handbags are being produced every month. The authorities were tipped off by an upcoming designer who spotted what looked like one of her creations, yet after closer inspection she realized that the materials being used were cheap and nasty and certainly was not material she would ever work with, authorities further investigated this matter and we able to set up a successful sting operation which will have saved designers thousands if not millions of dollars.

We ask that if you are shopping for a new purse or handbag that you support the designers who work so very hard to keep us women happy, always inspect the product before paying, pay close attention if you are buying handbags from local markets as this is where most fake designer handbags & fake designer purses end up.

Fashion handbags

Some of us girls well ok maybe most of us girls carry handbags or carry purses because they are fashionable and not so much for the practical properties, recent studies have shown that 90% of women buy purses & handbags to help with their social standing, leaving only 10% of women who could not get through their day without one, quite a scary thought actually.

Handbag outrage

After viewing one of my favorite website “Oprah” i came across a remarkable article which claims a woman spends thousands of dollars on handbags-purses each year and gives nothing to charity’s , now i am on the fence with this one because some companies  who make billions of dollars each year don’t support any charity’s and i feel if this woman works hard and wants to purchase expensive purses-handbags then she is more than entitle to.
