Purse On Us

.
Yesturday I was feeling really under the weather which is why I didn’t write.  No, I wasn’t feeling sick, I was just feeling a little depressed and rather near tears.

The fair last weekend didn’t go as well as I had hoped.  Don’t get me wrong it was a beautiful place, there were lots of visitors too but the average age must have been 60!  So, ok, I might be exagerating, but not much!!!!  That age groupe is not simply not interested in my bags.  They are not my taget customer either.  So I just sat there and smiled and listened to their stories about what they sew and how a few years back everything was much cheaper. To no surprise I didn’t sell much.  It felt like a waste of time.  Especially as it’s over an hour drive from Frankfurt.  At some fairs in the past I haven’t sold much but have given loads of cards out so I’ve felt that although the sales weren’t necessarliy god, it was great publicity, but this fair wasn’t even that. So I don’t think that I shall participate again next year.  I also hope that the other fairs that I have booked from now until Christmas will be better.  I do think so, most are Fashion Fairs rather than Arts & Craft fairs, and there my bags are much more appreicated. Anyway, here are a couple of pictures, now lets never mention it again!

Here is a handbag which can be found at eco-handbags.ca which is in my opinion just great. Any woman needs a cute black purse to lug around in the winter months or even traveling. Here is my choice!

Is the canvas tote the new TEE? Why not… as an article in the Guardian confirms – the tote is more than an eco-trend… – it also makes for a great fashion-statement… just like the ever popular T-Shirt… read more…

It would be great if we’d truly experienced an eco-epiphany, but the success of the reusable bag is as much about style as saving the planet. Like T-shirts and badges, the square-shaped shopper is the perfect blank canvas for slogans, logos and patterns. Consumers who couldn’t give a toss about the planet love its fashion statement just as much as the green contingent loves its ethical credentials.

At last month’s Fashion Week the designer shopper replaced the paper goodie bag at shows from Mulberry to Marc Jacobs. Fashion East, a London showcase for young designers, asked new talent David David to create theirs. ‘The shopper is a billboard and a status symbol,’ he says. ‘It’s perfect merchandise.’

It’s certainly the first bag taken up by pensioners and hipsters alike, and the green movement hopes there’s life in it yet. Eco entrepreneur Kresse Wesling created Sainsbury’s new reusable bag from used jute coffee bean sacks. (The Guardian)

Celebrity Handbags?

Designers like Gucci,Prada, Fendi and Dolce and Gabbana all fight for space on the red carpet, very responsible for giving birth to fashion victims.

When a well known celebrity appears on television or just out on the street on their day out with a Designer Handbg, you can be sure that the demand for that item would instantly increase overnight.

When we see celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Demi Moore, Hiliary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and Reese Witherspoon carrying handbags we want to carry the same handbag too!

Gucci Handbags don’t even need an introduction. Their bags stand alone as far as celebrity purses go. Going with a Gucci bag or designer wallet will ensure that what ever you wear will be fabulous!

An authentic Gucci Indy bag can cost $900 or more!

Have you ever seen the price of a Hermes Birkin handbag? A real one may cost you $10,000 or more. I’ve seen Hermes Birkin handbags with an asking price of $55,000.

What you can afford however are celebrity inspired handbags. These inspired handbags are not meant to be exact replica handbags.

While replica handbags and wallets are illegal , many companies offer designs that are inspired by famous designers.

These handbags are not imitation designer handbags. In other words, they are not fake or knock-offs.

Inspired handbags are simply designed in line with the current trends in handbag fashion, and so have a look and feel similar to that of fashionable designer handbags.
