The Year in Purses Village Voice: Bag of Tricks

Is it just our imagination, or is the status of carrying a Louis Vuitton (vuitton.com) bag going down, down, down? A lot of people probably think this has to do with the glut of fakes on the market—a phenomenon we applaud—but we believe it is also due to the generic ambiance of the LV shops themselves, and the fungus-like way they are spreading all over the world.

How can you not appreciate an article that compares Louis Vuitton bags to spreading fungus? Not sure if I completly agree with that since I do have a soft spot for a crowded Canal Street shop full of fake bags. But anyway…

Pamela Pekerman is a bagaholic who turned her passion into a business. Using the skills she learned as a journalism student at NYU and her internship experience at InStyle, Cosmopolitan, YM and the Today Show, she created www.BagTrends.com, an online magazine devoted exclusively to bags.

Moral of the story? Having lots of bags is great. In fact, I recommend it! But, having one great bag is a necessity for any woman. Make your pick from newbies like Bulga and Ted Rossi or go with old-faithfuls like Louis Vuitton and Prada. Because, as I always say, a great bag is the only item that can take an outfit from special to spectacular.

Really, the speedy has become a loyal friend. I trust it. When I can’t decide what bag to take, Louis is always there. The monogram brown on tan pattern matches every clothing combination and color– skirts, jeans, black pants, white pants. It has truly lived up to the “investment” I always
knew it would become.

When I was in college and didn’t have a lot of bags (a sad time, truly) I still wanted one great bag. One great bag means a classic design, a universal shape, a resilient fabric, an unmistakable winner! My choice was the Louis Vuitton Speed 30, and for my 19th birthday, that is what I got. At around $500 it wasn’t the logical bag for a college sophomore to carry, but I new it was worth it. The slouchy doctor’s bag is ideal for school, now work, and for weekend adventures. I literally put my entire life in it – makeup bag, card case, a book, a magazine, some files, my wallet, my cell, my i-pod, and still have room for my lunch. This bag has been caught in a torrential rain storm in Vegas, a blizzard in New York, the smoldering sun in Los Angeles, and used as carry-on luggage when I travel. Despite the oxidation and heavy wearing that has altered the light tan handles and piping into a burnt-orange shade, the bag is a good as new.

Investment is a funny word. Most people think about real estate or paintings. I think about bags. Yup, a bag is a personal investment – you’re saying, “I care about how I look and I want you to see me as a Balenciaga girl or a Botkier girl.” Each handbag carries a different message and perception.

found in Revere Knock off bags

Wow, could it be possible, thanks to this bag, to actually be looking forward to the big THREE-OH??

Another thing that is making look at fake vs real bags a little differently is that I am thinking of buying myself a REAL Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag as a 30th (ouch!) birthday present for myself this spring. I had the idea of this bag in my head, and when Pamela sent me her Guest Bag Blog entry about this same bag it only helped to encourage me. I think for a big birthday like your 30th you are allowed, in fact expected, to give yourself some sort of luxurious treat. Plus I am going to start saving for it now so I can pay for the whole thing when I get it instead of putting it on an evil credit card which would make me feel guilty.

I have to admit I am starting to feel a little guilty about my love for fake bags. There is no denying that it is supporting crime, and putting money into the pockets of people who are basically criminals. I guess it is sort of along the lines of downloading copyrighted music for free: not the worst crime in the world, and so easy and tempting, but at the end of the day I’m much happier with myself if I buy the music legally.

I’m late posting this, but here is an article that was in the Globe recently about some local arrests made when the police discovered a huge storage space in Revere full of 46,000 knock off bags. I guess this surprised me because unlike Canal Street in NY there really isn’t any place (that I know of) to purchase fake bags on the street in the Boston area. I guess in New England they are more likely to be sold at “purse parties” then out on the street in the open.

Leather Bags Luxury All in Precious

Ostrich leather is one of the toughest, yet most pliable skins available. A ostrich leather bag also comes with elegance and feminine appearance.

In a word, because of the high price and limited accessibility, these precious bags are wore by a tiny fraction of fashionistas in the world. Even you have the budget and patience to wait about two years, it is still in little hope to get your hands on a single one. However, there are suppliers who are specializing in making high quality designer replica handbags. It is always a wise investment in them for either using or collecting.

Crocodile leather must be one of the most luxurious one in precious leather materials. Actually, the skin includes Crocodile, Alligator and Caiman. Hermes bags in the skin are rare and expensive. It takes more than two years to own an Hermes Crocodile Birkin which is the ultimate fashion accessory that would keep anyone in limelight, and never go out of style. The most notable client associated with Hermes is Victoria Beckham. It is said that there are only 3 Himalayan Crocodile Birkin she owns all over the globe.

Snakeskin leather bag features thin and light with great flexibility. It’s grain is beyond compare, no matter it is natural or dyed. Since of its lightness, it is always of Spring or Summer collection with casual style. Compared with the price of crocodile and ostrich bags, it is cheaper. Women carrying a snakeskin bag are tend to show individual nuttiness instead of splurge.

Are you a keen fashionista of precious leather bag? How many crocodiles does it take to make a leather bag? The glamour of bag made from precious exotic such as crocodile, alligator, ostrich or lizard leather is widely known timeless, lasting throughout seasons and years, and transcending across generations. It can cost much time to make a single precious one. Like the classic Hermes Birkin or Kelly. It can take three to four crocodiles to make one of the styles. Without question, anyone wearing such a luxurious bag would arouse a lot of envy.

Since we have extra money to enjoy life, we begin to take luxury items into consideration and never stop. As for handbags, I always try to make a clear description to. The living needs, the art creation, the symbol of style, even the best carrier of luxury. When we talk about the luxury of a bag, we usually care its material and workmanship. Here I have some words to say toward the leather materials.

My favorite would be the soccer inspired weekender with the patch leather work. What about you?
