Handbags are the new shoes, the must have “it” accessory that has all the fashionistas clamouring for the latest offering from popular designers. It’s also a market that has more in common with the maledominated world of classic cars than you’d realise.
Few of you will have missed the fuss a couple of months ago when Sainsbury’s sold 20,000 “I’m not a plastic bag” Anya Hindmarch totes for pound5 each. Within hours those same unbleached cotton bags were selling for in excess of pound150 on eBay. “Every girl has a handbag,” says Christie’s specialist Monica Turcich, “and every girl wants one. Women now want the ‘it’ bag and the one nobody else is carrying. They’ve always been popular and they are the section of our 20thcentury fashion sales for which we get the most phone calls, but now they are doing particularly well because everyone wants handbags, whereas 10 years ago there weren’t the ‘it’ bags like we have today, simply the classics.”
Like cars, most of the more recent designer handbags which sell through dealers and auction houses make significantly less than their original retail price, losing value the second the initial purchase has taken place. That is good news for both collector investors and handbag enthusiasts, but there are some exceptions to the rule.
Last March Christie’s sold a red Hermes crocodile skin Kelly bag for pound10,800, this had only been purchased in 1994 and was originally a bespoke product. The Kelly bag is the “holy grail” of the classic handbag world according to Turcich. “Chloe and other more contemporary bags are more driven by what’s popular now, but for Hermes and Chanel’s quilted bag, these are classics which never go out of style and are always useable.” Kelly bags can be bought for pound600 and can often be sold on for pound1,000 pound2,000, which isn’t bad for a bag which might have been bought back in the 1960s.
There’s no doubt that most handbags are being bought to be used, it’s not an investment market in the same way as many other collectables such as paul smith,Abercrombie and Fitch,dsquared etc, but again there are parallels to the car market. By buying a classic bag and looking after it, you are unlikely to lose money, rather see a steady gain with the added return of enjoying using it.
Hindmarch’s “I’m not a plastic bag” bags are unlikely to make it to “classic” status, they are after all massproduced cotton totes, but other handbags from her range might well do so. So far Christie’s hasn’t sold any Hindmarch bags, but Turcich says she wouldn’t be surprised if they start turning up at auction soon and she wouldn’t turn them away. “Kylie Minogue was pictured carrying a Chloe bracelet bag around a few years ago which sparked a fashion and now we are selling the same thing at auction.”
There is a pristine one in the next auction which is estimated at pound800 to pound1,000 along with another Chloe handbag in the same lot. “I think Chloe has started the ‘it’ bag scene” adds Turcich, “I don’t know how long it will take for them to become classics of their own, but I’m sure these will hold their value in five or 10 years’ time. People just don’t seem to have paid attention to the fact that handbags have become the new shoes in the last few years, there is now an appreciation of the design that goes into them. There are shoe designers that are artists and so too with handbags.”
It’s not always about big names, a few weeks ago Ms Minogue was at the shop of Tony Durante, a handbag dealer at Alfie’s in London, and purchased a white raffia bag with a horse’s head on the front for around pound200. Brightly coloured raffia bags are in at the moment because it’s summer. Durante says that Kylie loved this particular bag because it was unusual. Buying it from a vintage fashion dealer she’s unlikely to bump into another celebrity carrying one. Durante says that his customers are looking for this “unusualness” factor.
If you do want to retain the value in your handbag then you should go for one that is in excellent condition, is a good design and beautiful. Some “it” bags will undoubtedly go down in value as fashions change, but the classics should stay steady.

Whether you are traveling for business or vacation, you want to be able to relax and enjoy the trip and even take in some sights. When it comes time to do the packing for your trip, theres always the question of what do I need?

Of course, youll need to pack the right kind of clothes for the climate youre visiting, but when it comes to travel accessories, you want to take some essential items, without packing too much. A travel accessory store is a good place to get ideas for items you can bring on a trip.

Here are four travel accessories that youll want to take on your trip

Passport Holder in todays cautious environment, everyone needs to have a passport, even children. Youll want to keep your passport in something that will give you easy access to it, so you dont have to go fishing around for it in your pockets or handbag.

The best kind of passport holder are ones that hang around your neck where you are not in danger of losing it. They are usually made out of leather or nylon and come in several colors.

Money BeltFanny Pack when it comes to your money, you dont want to take any chances that thieves will be able to easily steal from you on the road. Pickpockets and purse snatchers are always on the lookout for unwary travelers. A money belt or fanny pack keeps your money close to your body where it would be hard for somebody to quickly open and steal from you without your noticing.

A money belt is thin and has secure pockets. Money belts can be worn over or underneath clothing. They usually are not waterproof so you may want to put your cash in a plastic baggie to keep it from getting wet.

Fanny packs are bulkier and usually made out of leather or nylon. These are great to carry instead of a purse or wallet. Its best to have the pockets facing the front of your body, or wear it on the side of your hip, where you can clearly see it at all times.

Travel First Aid Kit nobody likes to think about it, but bumps, bruises and more can happen when youre traveling. Because you are away from home and may not know the system of medical care of the citycountry youre traveling to, you should always carry a first aid kit with you.

Keep your first aid kit in your personal travel accessory bag so youll have easy access to it, if necessary. The kit should have bandages, gauze, cotton swabs, mild pain relief medication, antiseptic, scissors, insect repellent, etc. Some kits contain a lot more. Its cheaper to buy a kit than to purchase first aid items individually.

Also, if you have any kind of medical condition, make sure you take along enough medication and supplies to last the entire trip.

Travel Alarm Clock youve got important things to do on your trip and you dont want to have to rely on a wake up call from the hotel front desk what if they forget?

When you want to make sure you get up on time, purchase a simple travel alarm clock. These are portable, very accurate, and best of all inexpensive.

Everyone wants to stand out especially when it comes to showcasing the latest fashion trends in apparel, footwear and handbags. There are basically two types of people in this world when it comes to their fashion sense. There are those who merely follow whats found inside fashion magazines or the latest trends from the runway of famous designers. There are also those who want to start their own trend or those who dont pay much attention to the latest styles because they want to be themselves by expressing their own individuality. If you classify yourself with this second group of individuals then I believe you are one of the many who dont quite like shopping from a mall because you are fed up with the many similar styles and designs that numerous shops are displaying on their racks.

You have to admit that when you do window shopping, you would notice that majority of the stores carry a similar line of handbags or those almost in exactly the same kind or color with a different brand name at that. Quite often we get embarrassed being in the same elevator or bus for example with someone carrying a tote which is exactly the same as what we are bringing too. We cant help but feel that our handbag is just way too common. I believe that there still are many women worldwide who want to have their own sense of style without being so much as part of the crowd following on whats new and whats not.

You will find that shopping online gives you a myriad of choices when it comes to handbags in varying shapes, sizes, colors, designs, and styles. Shopping online helps you find oneofakind unique purses that may never be available in a retail store. Plus you will find that many of these bags are actually a lot cheaper because maintaining an online store doesnt require a lot of overhead expenses unlike that of an actual shop wherein you have to pay for rent, electricity, maintenance and salaries for the staff not to mention other miscellaneous expenses. Shopping online also gives you the convenience at shopping at your own time whether its 500 am in the morning or late at night even in the comfort of your own home.

The only thing is you dont really get a feel of the handbag and is not given the opportunity to actually try it on you. I would suggest that if you do shop online, shop only on websites that offer either a return or refund policy that will enable you to get your money back or have it changed to another one in case you are not satisfied with it.

Prom night is just around the corner. You want to look your best and amaze your date and friends with a stunning prom dress. You’ve made the appointment with the hair stylist and makeup artist. You’ve planned every aspect of your special night. But wait! Don’t forget one of the most important things accessorize your prom dress to make it dazzle!

Prom dresses can look plain without at least a few accessories. Even a gorgeous, long prom dress by Jovani can be spruced up with a sparkling necklace and matching earrings. Stunning evening wear by Niteline wouldn’t be complete without a few accents. No matter what style prom dress you choose, accessories will make it dazzle even more! Here are some great prom tips to get your wheels turning.

Prom Dresses with No Straps or Spaghetti Straps

The neckline can look bare when wearing a prom dress that has no straps or spaghetti straps. A plain neckline can easily be brightened with a beautiful, sparkly necklace and matching earrings. The type of necklace you choose should blend well with your dress colors and fabric. With a prom dress that has lots of lace or sequence, a plain gold or silver necklace will do. Or, maybe even a simple strand of pearls. With a simple satin dress, wear a necklace that sparkles with unique design. Add a charming slide as a bonus.

Gloves and Shawls

Strapless prom dresses also look great with satin or lace gloves a shawl. The gloves and shawl should match the color(s) of your prom dress for a simple, but elegant look! Shawls can be worn around the neck or loosely held around the upper arms.

HalfJackets

If shawls aren’t your style, try a halfjacket instead. These typically come in satin finish to match the color of your prom dress, or in a lacy seethrough style. There are even jackets that tie in the front midsection to cover the tummy! Pick the jacket that looks best with your body type. Try one on with your prom dress to be sure it offers the look you want.

Prom Dress Length and Prom Shoes

Choose your hosiery and prom shoes according to the prom dress length. With long prom dresses, you might choose hose for comfort, not style, since no one will see them anyway. For highandlow prom dresses or short prom dresses, choose prom shoes and hose that will complement your legs and feet.

Opentoe prom shoes with nude or lightcolored hose will look great with slender legs. If your legs are muscular or large in the calves, and you want to deemphasize the bottom part of your legs, choose closedtoe prom shoes with dark colored hose if possible. Or, a longer prom dress will do the trick.

Handbags

Carrying a handbag to the prom? Choose one that matches your prom dress. There are handbags of all colors and styles that are designed specifically for prom night. You can find handbags of satin, beads or lace to complement your prom dress. With a prom handbag, you can carry your personal belongings and still be in style!

You may try to save a few bucks by buying a designer handbag replica, but there are several reasons why it makes sense to buy the real thing

1. Although replicas may look like the real thing, the workmanship and quality can’t be compared to the original.

2. Counterfeiters avoid paying taxes since their businesses are generally operated on a cash basis. Citizens like you and I still have to pay.

3. The sale of counterfeit designer goods has been linked to terrorist and gang activity as well as organized crime. Drugs are often smuggled inside counterfeit handbags.

bSpotting a fakeb

There was a time when it was easy to spot a fake misspelled logos, cheap leather and shoddy hardware. Now, fakes are starting to look rather good and its hard to tell the difference. Here’s how to tell whats real and whats not

1. Authentic handbags are purchased from authorized registered dealers. Authentic designer handbags are not sold by street vendors, at home parties, at flea markets, in New York’s Chinatown, in Los Angeles’ Santee Alley, or at mall kiosks.

2. If youre considering a Coach handbag, the companys website provides a list of authorized dealers. Both Coach and Kate Spade give detailed information on spotting replicas of their products.

3. The price. A new Prada handbag will not sell for 50.

4. Country of Origin Labels. The country of origin for Fendi handbags is Italy. If the handbag has a label that says Made in Taiwan, it is not the real thing.

bBuying designer handbags onlineb

If you’re shopping online and find a designer handbag at a price thats hard to pass up, theres a way to tell if you’re getting an authentic product

Read the product description carefully. Some online merchants will lure you into their sites by describing their products as original, authentic or genuine. After reading descriptions, you may find such phrases as inspired by a particular designer. This product isnt authentic and the phrase is used to protect the merchant from trademark infringement.

bWant to know for sure its real? b

Buy designer goods from authorized registered dealers only. You can find resources for affordable authentic designer handbags and other luxury goods at a href”httpwww.luxewise.com”Luxewise.coma
