Reward yourself once in a while with designer items

Reward yourself once in a while with designer items

People with good taste always have a varying partiality for big brands and they buy luxury goods regularly as gifts for themselves.

Returnee Carrie is a royal fan of authentic designer items to the letter, and she buys no replicas. “I’ve seen too many replica handbags of different qualities since I come back. Take Louis Vuitton handbags for example; in fact, someone owns a real Louis Vuitton bag is not likely to buy replicas. I think those who claim that they use both authentic designer handbags and replicas and find the two have no difference is either lying to themselves or they are quite insensitive.” Says Carrie, “though the 300~500 or more than 1000 Yuan replicas made in China look really really like the authentic ones, it somehow lacks something in spirit. The real Louis Vuitton bags are very durable, exquisitely made, and the fake handbags feel like they are made by some half-hearted workers from a small workshop. The small replica factories covet profits and market share, won’t devote in making something real exquisite and delicate.”

Carrie believes that buying authentic designer items for oneself is actually a way of loving oneself, and a woman has no need to feel guilty in loving herself.

Interpretation: Even the replica handbag is of supreme quality it is still a fake, although you succeed in fooling others, you can’t fool yourself. Buying a real luxury item through your own ability is a reward for yourself, a proof of your ability, a pride, and it shows self-love and self-motivation, not showing off.

For people like Carrie, accessories like handbags, shoes, belts, scarf that are frequently used in day-to-day dress better choose big brand, which is kind of investment of must. Especially designer handbag, it will make your casual wear of a T-shirt and jeans stand out and breathe elegance into your look. Of course there is a precondition that the designer handbag you use better be a classis design and no fake for sure!

100 Consumer Psychology-Fitting speaks louder than brand

100 Consumer Psychology-Fitting speaks louder than brand

A high price doesn’t stand for good quality. There is a group of people who don’t believe in the so-called “brand power”, for these people, scrounging for items best suit them is their faves.

The high prices of luxury brand items are surely unaffordable for common people and for basic items such as knitwear which only plays supporting role in our overall style yet indispensable, though the material, details and cuttings of top brands’ outshine those from much economical brands, we do have nice choices of cheaper brands which differ little from top brands in quality and the prices are just trifle compared to that of luxury brands, then, which will you choose?

Take jeans for example, Bella says, what matters is whether it looks great on you or not, sometimes a jeans costing 200 to 300 Yuan from a nameless street corner store fits you far better that a big brand piece sells for thousands Yuan. “You shouldn’t put blind faith in luxury brands. The principle should bear in mind at all times is that a nice outfit is an outfit that makes you look attractive”.

Comprehend consumption behavior: the typical “scrounging cult” thinks that famous brands don’t have self style and they prefer surprises from scrounging and picking at small fashion houses. A small store with unattractive shop front on an uninviting street can bring in sensational fashion. And items found in such stores may not compete with Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry’s fame, but they are with super-fine quality and affordable prices–as long as you are willing to dig around, you can always be rewarded with surprise—so they win the favor of those who love fashion and their saving.

The Future of Replicas In China

The Future of Replicas In China

International luxury brand stands for world-class quality, to its owner, wearing/carrying an international luxury brand item to certain social occasions is a symbol of status. However, what seems simple to the British people is in fact out of the reach of the common Chinese. This ethnic psychological blow caused by nationality and per-unit GDP is imaginable when it is jointed with the nation’s nerve by the global economic integration’s invisible hand. Can you imagine that a common citizen whose monthly income is 3000RMB can buy a genuine Versace mini skirt at only 1/60 of her salary? If we are not that covetous and demanding, we must be thrilled if we can get one at 600RMB. Yet reality is far from that, if you take a walk around the Peninsula Palace Beijing and the first floor of Traders Hotel Beijing and you will find that the sales persons couldn’t be bothered with you and it’s a mere fancy to have a designer brand item if without thousands of money spent. The ancients once said that if in lack of bread, tart should be good; and sometimes fall back a step and you’ll find it brighter. Then we have replicas! Whose fault is it that we have dogged pursuit of brand? Everyone has vanity, and our vanity is simple and sincere, and can be easily gratified, a new dress, a pair of new shoes, even a small purse can do, as long as the brand is one that I adore.

All in existence are reasonable. In China replicas have been in existence for a long time, and they won’t get out of market overnight. Yet its reasonability doesn’t equal to legitimacy, we are by no means to back-up replicas and we are not to compass its ruin like kicking a man when he’s down. Who wouldn’t hope to be dressed in real CHANEL, and wearing real Louis Vuitton handbags? But we can only feel powerless and frustrated on seeing the number on the price tag attached to these luxury goods when they come into China after the added import duty which sometimes is higher than the goods’ market prices. Whether to buy replica handbags or not, it seems unnecessary to discuss. We may as well advocate not buying replicas, but there is one precondition to be fulfilled, that is the prices of these so-called luxury goods can be in line with international practice, instead of playing gentry robber stealing money from low-income countries; and we no longer have to fly to Hong Kong in discount season for a shopping spree, neither have we ask friends overseas to queue up in the door of Louis Vuitton’s head office in Paris at all means. I believe firmly that if this day finally comes, replicas will for sure leave the stage of history.

What is “Grade A replicas”?

What is “Grade A replicas”?

If you believe you belong to the smart set, then you must know what replica is. Even though you don’t wear replica clothes, replica shoes or replica watches and you don’t carry replica handbags, you must at the least hear about it from your friends or colleagues; even though you haven’t been to every of the famous replica stores in Beijing, and are unclear about the brands they are good at selling and their owners’ taste, you must have at the least visited the famous shops in the replica field unwittingly when you were on a shopping spree in Sanlitun, Silk Alley or Jiayi Plaza. I don’t remember since when did the phrase “Grade A replicas” become so popular among the fashion devotees. I do remember the first time when I heard of this phrase was before I went abroad for further study. At that time with my curiosity to dig up everything that interested me I had racked my brains for this phrase but failed to find an answer and blamed my poor English. The bigoted I at that time did not know that the “A” is people’s approval of the replica goods’ quality, when I think again and figure it out again now I doubt this phrase is from English and my years of life in Britain provides me clear answer— the phrase “Grade A replicas” is without doubt Chinglish, because there is no living space for replicas in Britain.

Hemes-Birkin-35-ReplicaEstore.com

The so-called Grade A replicas are excellent imitations of the genuine articles, and compared with the genuine articles, there are slight differences in the crafts and quality, but the exterior appearance and materials are almost the same as the real goods, also, the Grade A replicas enjoy great advantage in its price since the genuine one are far too expensive. In theory, the replicas at low price can fulfill students’ and the low-income group’s pursuit of consumption needs and pursuit of designer brands. Moreover, since the replicas have wide range of target users, including people of moderate prosperity, low-income group and students with no income. From successful people working in famous domestic TV station to hard working students of the 90’s generation, there are royal followers of great replicas everywhere around us.

What is High Replica

The Replicas are rigidly stratified

- What is High Replica

A high replica is an exact imitation of the genuine article, we call it “High Quality Replica”, much realer than the general counterfeit, and people cannot tell if it is a fake or not if without careful check. Therefore a lot of people adopt replicas instead of using genuine ones for the price of high quality replicas is much lower. A high quality replica is not called high quality if it is poorly executed. So generally a high quality replica is fairly cost effective.

High quality replica has 5 grades which distinguished by defferent quality:

1. Grade B/AB
Generally called Grade B/AB. The only part that is similar to the original item is probably the logo. It is no surprise if the pattern of a Grade B/AB replica is never found among the original designer/manufacturer’s collection, for what matters to a maker of cheap replicas is the brand, the LOGO, solely. A Grade B/AB replica handbag is mostly found on street markets, and you can tell it is a counterfeit just by a casual glance and its price is usually very low. Materials used for a Grade B/AB replica handbag include: fabrics of lowest quality, accessories of lowest quality, hardware and handcraft of lowest quality as well. (Note: fabrics are with patterns, the accessories are the white parts and those of Grade A replicas are with leather)

2. Grade A
It can be said that Grade A replicas are of medium quality, which are more elegant in texture and softer to the touch than Grade B/AB replicas. The leather used and the sewing techniques are just so-so, and the package is slightly more attractive than Grade B/AB replicas. The overall quality is all right, though won’t be worn out after some time’s usage, the leather won’t turn into the color of beeswax with time goes by like a genuine handbag does. Materials used for a Grade A replica handbag include: common fabrics, accessories using split leather, hardware of so-so quality and fair handcraft (Note: fabrics are with patterns, the accessories are the white parts. Leathers used are top layer leather and split leather, and the split leather is not tough.)

3. Grade A+
Grade A+ replicas are also called Grade AA replicas, of better-than-average quality. The texture is fairly nice, so are the handcrafts and details. The entire handbag feels up-market. Materials used for a Grade A+ replica handbag include: solid fabrics, accessories using top layer leather whose color won’t change with time, hardware of common quality. (Note: fabrics are with patterns, the accessories are the white parts. Leathers used are top layer leather and split leather.)

4. Grade UltrA
Replica handbags belong to this grade are made of imported cow leather whose color will turn into the color of beeswax after used for some time or wet. They are sophisticatedly made: patterns and sizes need to be checked carefully, look almost like the original ones. Replica handbags of this grade are quite popular among the public because of their reasonable prices and good quality. Materials used include: top quality solid fabrics, accessories using imported leather and YKK hardware. (Note: fabrics are with patterns, the accessories are the white parts. Leathers used are top layer leather and split leather.)

Chloe

5. 1:1
Replica handbags belong to this grade are made of imported cow leather whose color will turn into the color of beeswax after used for some time or when wet. They are sophisticatedly made: patterns and sizes need to be checked carefully, look as if they are original. Every handbag of this grade is made in strict accordance with the genuine handbag. The major difference from a Grade UltrA replica handbag is in the handcrafts, which is sophisticated still. Every detail has been paid special attention to and the execution is even nicer than the original handbag (because most of the original ones are handmade, and replicas are done by machines, so there is no wonder). Due to the complicated craftwork required, replicas of this grade are not mass-produced, and thus their price is comparatively high. But I suggest you buy these replicas rather than the original, even an expert in handbags can tell them apart. But 1:1 Items are very scarcity, people only can find it in some secret shop or online retailers, such as ReplicaEstore.com.

The highest level of replica handbags enjoys the advantages of reasonable price, elegant in texture, exquisite workmanship and high cost performance, and thus is the best choice for those who can’t afford the genuine article but long for genuine quality.

What is High Quality Replica

What is High Quality Replica

ReplicaEstore.com: Replica Culture Revolution

ReplicaEstore.com: Replica Culture Revolution

According to some luxury marketing observer’s speculation, in the world scope, the number of people who willing to accept and use replica designer products is five times of those who are using authentic one.

Perhaps, this number doesn’t tell the exactly truth. Why I say like this? Because we certainly have friends who have high salary and what’s in her wardrobe are all brand pieces this season, but occasionally they also pick up several high quality replica designer handbags they particularly like in flea markets; or some friends who are regulars of stores selling fake designer goods on EBay, but occasionally they will go to Louis Vuitton exclusive shops to buy themselves a 2009 new arrival Monogram as birthday present; and, also, there are many who even don’t know that the designer handbag they are holding or sent by their boyfriends are fake. The complex relations between genuine , replicas and fakes cannot be explained clearly in mere words, but we can be sure that, the replicas will last with the time, as this industry chain and market capacity is astonishingly large, that I am willing to treat this phenomenon by the words of “replica culture” .

There is a saying that, the history of human is the history of class conflict, that is to say, the human society inevitably has social classes, and the most significant difference among varied classes is the wealth they own. The mankind’s pursuit of the beautiful will last forever, and for the comparatively low income group, a Louis Vuitton handbag sells for thousands of dollars is far from being affordable to them. Maybe we should not view it in the poor understanding of self-deception and short-sightedness, and try to think of yourself more, when you’re standing on the podium for your silver medal, won’t you wish that the winner is you instead of her/him?

Thereupon, we should understand this universal phenomenon from another angle.
“Clone the style and status” is the idea that ReplicaEstore.com the Designer Handbag Cloning Master persists. People all have the right to pursuit the more beautiful things and to enjoy a better life. For the various top brands and luxury goods, they are the very best of human arts and life, and should be tasted and enjoyed by more people. It is like a piece of beautiful music, back in the time when tape recorder hasn’t been invented, we can only enjoy it on the spot, buy nowadays, every individual can enjoy it anywhere anytime. What great contribution has the reproduction and spread of music done to the development of human civilization!

However, there is one thing we should take note of, that is, the original shape and quality of the excellent prototype should be maintained during the reproduction and spread. Otherwise, if in partial absence or misinterpretation, people, the audient, will be unable to truly savor the core value that the inventor aims to manifest. ReplicaEstore.com knows this fully well and therefore ReplicaEstore.com has positioned itself as ‘designer handbag cloning master’ in the market since the day it is founded.

We also know that with the improved manufacturing capacity of developing countries, many well-known brands have transferred their production and processing base to the developing countries under the consideration of environmental protection, cost, the acquisition of high quality raw materials and the concern of exploiting new market. This has many advantages that on one hand the superior quality of many famous brand goods is able to be maintain based on the inexpensive labor force and the low price but high quality raw materials, and for the developing countries, the outsourcing of production and processing has highly improved their crafts and production ability. However, there are manufacturers begin to batch make shams of low quality using inferior material and crude crafts. It is imaginable that if you want to spring up as a new force you must have you own insistence. Only the high quality replica can help its customers in wholehearted pursuit of the beautiful to be able to enjoy the pleasure of quality life. Therefore, ReplicaEstore.com has this insistence that we manufacture the best replica.

ReplicaEstore.com is aiming at providing the best replicas. As a designer handbag cloning master in its field, ReplicaEstore.com will carry out its ideas and provide its customers the very latest and best shopping experience and products.

COOL DESIGNER HANDBAG COOL YSL

COOL DESIGNER HANDBAG COOL YSL

With nearly every actress carrying at least one, the YSL Muse handbag was the handbag of the year before last year, and ELLE Magazine has voted that the YSL Muse looked best on Jessica Alba. I found the Muse handbag just so-so when I first saw it, but after I saw the pictures of Jessica carrying it, I thought the Muse really matched with her temperament very much, and thus looked more and more attractive.

Little while ago I went through some magazines, and saw YSL has launched a new Muse Two this year, Kate Moss casting in the advertising campaign. All this time the handbags that Kate Moss has carried can sell greatly, Muse Two itself is worth looking at enough, so I believe it will sell well also.

With all said over and over again, the cool YSL handbag, frequently carries the temperament of the person who carries it, and thus the design becomes lasting despite time, even a little rough graceful.

The YSL handbag is also expensive, but not yet expensive like “carrying a Beetle back and forth in the hand”. What a pity that our company does not have the year-end bonus tradition, otherwise a YSL Muse is really a good reward for the laborious year.( BY Designer Handbags Outlet )

Patent Leather -- Permanent Classic, or a Passing Fad

Patent Leather -- Permanent Classic, or a Passing Fad

Couple days ago, I chatted with my colleague Orange over patent leather handbag. Orange said, some customers has the worry that patent leather may be a passing fad and will be out of fashion quickly in choosing patent leather handbag. Indeed, the trend of patent leather blows from 2007 Fall/Winter, has weakened at present. It can be said that, patent leather as prevailing fashion trend has past its golden days. But, the material of patent leather itself, had history of near 200 years, deserves to be called classic material. Patent leather handbag, is also nothing new, appears frequently in old movies and old pictures; to me, patent leather handbag not only is classical, but also reminiscent.

The inventor of patent leather is Seth Boyden, from Massachusetts State, America. In 1818, Seth Boyden blended a bright paint taking linseed oil as raw material; then he painted this bright “paint” on the leather surface, which has become patent leather. I have used hair oil which contains linseed oil, it is indeed light and shinny, but does not stick nor drape. Seth Boyden is an engineer, the original intention of his invention of patent leather is waterproofing, which has nothing to do with fashion. What’s worth mentioning is that, the inventor's younger brother Uriah Boyden is a greater inventor, who has invented the Boyden hydraulic turbine. The public library in their hometown is thus named after Uriah Boyden.

The shortcoming of using linseed painter for the coating, is not easy to dry. Therefore, patent leather are not widely used until 20th century 30's when people used plastic instead of linseed oil for the processing of leather.

Also it is by this time, the sparkling patent leather has seized the human eyes and its fashion value got discovered.

In the tradition, patent leather is suitable for official situations. For instance, a black tails, must go with a pair of black patent leather shoes. A patent leather handbag of classic design in grave is never too the leisure to attain any social event (dance party and evening banquets are exceptions). Also it is traditionthat patent leather is more suitable in spring and summer, maybe because it associates with coolness.

Let’s return to the “the paint” of patent leather. Now the widespread utilization coating is one kind of synthetic resin. Generally speaking, the coating is the thinner the better-- the softness of leather can be retained if the coating is thin enough, and added a ligtheness; if the coating is thick, the leather becomes hard, really look like plastic. The softest and lightest patent leather handbag is the sheepskin patent leather from Marni, it is as thin as paper, I fear it could be tore to pieces. The coating of some high quality patent leather is not specially thin, for instance, Louis Vuitton’s Vernis series, that is because of the shape they design, if too thin could not come out the desired effect.

The leather under the coating also needs attention.
If use exquisite leather like calf skin and lambskin whose texture can bearly be seen, then after coated, the leather will be as bright and smooth like mirror, even a fly all will slide on the surface. Many vintage patent leather handbag are of this type. I prefer patent leather of clearer texture, which is not so stiff and less formal, for instance leather with folds or cracks, or at least can see the leather texture/grains. Patent leather of clearer texture has another merit that it does not reveal handprints easily.

Then, the best patent leather designer handbag comes from where? The French designer's patent leather handbag has the best quality. But French's patent leather, is imports from Japan. The lace of the traditional flip-flops worn by Japanese women uses patent leather for water-proof, therefore the history of the Japanese producing patent leather is very long.

In brief, patent leather is the unusual traditional material. No matter patent leather is in the fashion or not, the patent leather handbag will never vanish.
If you pay attention, you can discover that nearly every big brand’s 2009 spring/summer collection has patent leather handbag design.(by HandbagsOutlet.biz)

Memo to the Handbag Manufacturing Industry

Memo to the Handbag Manufacturing Industry

OK, people, I've had it up to here.

I have owned four handbags in my life. Four! For a woman of my age, this is hardly representative. I have owned so few handbags not because I am incredibly thrifty or because I have a lot of pockets. I have owned so few because I dislike shopping for them. Because, invariably, YOU PEOPLE don't know what I want.

Clearly, what we have here is a failure to communicate. So now I am telling you, the designers and manufacturers and marketers and buyers of handbags for women across the globe, what I want.

1. A bag with a long strap. Walk down Michigan Avenue and take careful note of how many women are wearing bags across their chests, down by their waists or hips, or dangling from their shoulders. You'll find this is almost universally true (the rest are wearing backpacks). I am BUSY. In addition to handbags, I may very well have to carry shopping bags, tote bags, extra shoes, CDs, books, lunch, flowers...and that's an average day. A clutch purse is not practical under these circumstances. Lots of bags have straps, but they are too short to comfortably sling from one shoulder without whapping the person behind you in the chin. Long straps, people!

2. A bag that can be secured. I live in a big city, I ride the subway, I walk by myself. I want to zip, snap, and fasten my bag together and know that I'm not easy prey for any pickpocket who stands next to me on the Red Line. Help me keep my wallet safe!

3. A bag that has a pocket in the back for my Walkman. This is strictly optional in my case. But even women who are not music-dependent like me appreciate easy access to a pen, lipstick, a cell phone, etc. Besides, we like the illusion of being organized, even if we don't use the compartments as designed.

4. A bag that I don't have to coordinate. It is incredibly difficult to find all of the above components in a package that's sleek, water repellent, and reasonably contemporary. (Please don't make cute products only in brown. I have a black leather coat and black shoes and I want things to match within a reasonable margin.) Life's hard enough without having to coordinate and switch purses every other day. Simplifiez!

5. A bag that I can afford. I am not a millionaire, alas. I am not able to invest hundreds of dollars in a purse, unless said purse is made of some material that will appreciate with time, like gold. (And that violates rule no. 4.)

Are we clear now?

Don't say I never mentioned this.( by: Louis Vuitton Cloning Master )

Why are women so infatuated with designer handbag?

Why are women so infatuated with designer handbag?

Why are women so infatuated with designer handbag? Why are they willing to spend half of their monthly wages on a handbag which they admire for long? Why they still love handbag though they can't afford it? A woman who loves handbag is actually loving herself--a woman who loves herself is most attractive to men--actually not only to men, but also to people around her. A woman who loves handbag has dreams, dreaming for life to become more wonderful and full of vitality, no matter she is 20-year old or 50 years old. It is happiness to dream that in the coming future you will be able to own a handbag that you love but cannot afford at the present, which happiness moneybags cannot have. Take Victoria Beckham for example, she can get no matter which brand she likes without the need to save money nor troubling for which one handbag to choose due to tight budget, she even does not need to go to the shop to have a look at the real thing. Her assistant only has to make a call and salesgirls from Hermes will immediately bring the most “it” handbags to visit her at her apartment. I believe Victoria Beckham won't feel as much as you and I do for a designer handbag, and she won't receive as much joy as you and I can get from a designer handbag.

The handbag brands can be divided into three kinds approximately, luxury brands, popular brands and small designer brands. The small designer brands are actually a very interesting topic, which we can discuss another day. Today we will only discuss about the luxury brands. The fundamental elements of luxury brand handbag include well-known designers, Italian leather, very high quality hardware and processing, which result in their handbags' huge difference from that of popular brands in the sense of quality and hand feeling. The price of an introductory luxury brand handbag is about 300 US dollars, and handbags lower than this price cannot come out with the above high quality.

The price range of luxury brand handbags is very big, from 300 US dollars to 5000 US dollars. Actually, the difference in design and quality between a 300-500 US dollar brand and a 1000-2000 US dollar brand is very limited, and the price difference is due to the brand. Top brands like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, with their abundant financial resources are capable of building glory brand image by inviting celebrities to be their spokespersons, employing media exaggeration and spending hundreds of millions US dollar on ad campaigns, making women chasing after them. The price of a Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM is 665 US dollars, and the materials and processing cost about 100 US dollars, advertising expenditure is about 150-200 US dollar, minus the assorted expense, the net profit which the LVMH shareholders can obtain is about 300 US dollars. Whether it is worthy or not to spend so much money on a handbag, I am sure different people has different views. (by ReplicaEstore.com)

Reflections- A Katrina Hurricane Handbag Story(ReplicaEstore.com)

Reflections- A Katrina Hurricane Handbag Story(ReplicaEstore.com)

At 24 many people would say I'm still too young to look back and reflect on my life. Yet, the last five months of my life have been nothing but reflection. I haven't felt like I was living, but simply existing, trying to make sense of my world post-Hurricane Katrina.

After recovering the few things from my New Orleans home that were salvagable, I began to rummage through them and see what I was left with. Not much was saved, but one thing that was salvaged was a collection of scrapbooks and diaries that my mother kept for me from my childhood. Sitting in my mother's home in rural Texas, I reflected that I had lost my business, my home. I gotten divorced and had no sense of what I was going to do with my life from this point on. So with nothing better to do, I began to look through a scrapbook where excited mothers fill in the blanks, answering questions about their children. Toward the back of the book I saw it, my mother's bold handwriting in black ink where she wrote in the answer to this question:

Child's favorite toy: PURSE
I couldn't help but laugh, smile and cry all at the same time. I nodded my head in agreement and recalled the last handbag purchase I'd made prior to the storm (and two of the bags that I took with me when I evacuated): a beautiful shredded silk watercolor Moo Roo evening bag with dragonfly broach and a leather embossed olive green barrel bag, also a lovely Moo Roo creation (both obtained at obscenely low prices during the Moo Roo end of season sample sale). I remembered how excited I'd been when I made the purchases and how I opened the boxes like a child on Christmas morning when they arrived in the mail.

It was at this point, though, that I realized that a handbag very dear to me was missing. I turned my home upside down both before and after the storm, making sure that everything of value was accounted for (either as destroyed or salvagable). Never once did I see the bag in question. It was the ivory beaded handbag given to me by my grandmother, the very bag I carried on my wedding day. Yes, I am divorced now, but we remain close friends and it was a beautiful little bag with a lot of meaning to me. The bag was something that my grandmother had shared with me, something I cherished and carried on a significant day in my life. I still cannot explain the sorrow I felt, and still feel, to have lost that bag. Thankfully, however, I have pictures of me holding it, this bag on my wedding day. Pictures that I look back at and smile longingly with tears in my eyes. I cry because I know my grandmother is aging, know that every little thing from her will become a fond memory and my connection to her once she's gone. This brings me full circle to wonder: What will my grandchildren cherish about me? What will people cherish and remember about the "old" New Orleans?

Now back in New Orleans, I continue my reflections as I've settled into a cramped, too expensive apartment. The same apartment my sister stayed in with me while visiting last week. Ironically, I was thinking about the four previous purse experiences that stuck out in my mind (my favorite "toy" being a purse, my grandmother's ivory beaded bag, my two Moo Roo purchases) just the day before my sister suggested we do some shopping before she left town. I didn't set out to buy anything specific that day, but somehow I came home with four brand new handbags. No, they weren't the over-the-top expensive bags like I used to collect, but they were all lovely and the first I'd purchased since Hurricane Katrina.

I continue to consider what I want to do with my life and even though I have no answer yet, I do feel in some odd way like I've begun to live again. Maybe it was my sister visiting and lifting my spirits, maybe it is the new job I got this week, but really, REALLY, wasn't it the purses?

When I think about it, purses have, in an odd way, reflected my life, all the way to these new purchases that are in many ways indicative of my beloved city. No, we aren't completely put back together yet, but we are trying and we are moving forward. Maybe these new bags aren't the most expensive, but they are cute and they are mine. They lifted my spirits and in a strange way made me feel like I was living a normal life again for awhile...just shopping for handbags like it was nothing and life was sane again. Even though my company is gone and my life will never quite be the same, there will be life again. It has changed, but it will go on and maybe someday I will have a daughter who will like to play with my handbags, maybe years after that I will have a granddaughter who will walk up the aisle on her wedding day with a purse I gave her, but whatever happens in life, I know that it, along with my love of handbags and the city of New Orleans, WILL go on.

Five Reasons Women Should Buy Designer Handbag

Five Reasons Women Should Buy Designer Handbag

Recently when I returned to China and met my friend Ya Jun in Guangzhou, she saw my Guess handbag and said this was not designer handbag and I should have carried a much expensive one. I wasn’t clear whether she meant my taste was low or she was complementing me. So I said ambiguously that I do not care much about the brand actually, and if my handbag’s too expensive it would make me feel uncomfortable. Ya Jun replied casually that a woman like me should have a designer handbag, and I noticed at that time she was carrying a Bally dermis briefcase.

A woman like me? A brief summary would be: with some education, have gained some experiences, is making some money, but why should I have a designer handbag then? Regretted very much that I had not asked Ya Jun at that time what she meant exactly.

The Hong Kong beauty writer Shen Xue has told a story about designer handbag. Ellen, a 20 something urban single girl whose job is a cosmetics sales in a department store, saves most of her meager wages to buy designer handbags, “on average one designer handbag every two months”. Ellen is a very earthy girl and feels at ease under all circumstances except for her little designer handbag hobby. Designer handbag is her only “dignity dream”, and this pursuit of upper class life once led her out of the metropolis common people's world.

My female friends and colleagues either marries a good husband or getting high salary, some of them even get both the two, but very few of them would spend hundreds even thousands of dollars to buy a designer handbag for herself. This probably may own to China’s traditional virtue that one should manages a household with diligence and thrift; or maybe because they grows in the time before China’s economy soaring, thus they don’t have the expense desire; or because they have a happy family and succeed in their career pursuit and as a result do not need an expensive designer handbag to show off. In order to be a “high class” woman who is “tasteful and could afford designer handbags”, Shen Xue’s Ellen has to save every of her pennies so that she could buy 6 designer handbags in one year. However, my friends/colleagues who have received good education and have high salary probably would buy not one designer handbag in six years.

It’s a woman’s bounden duty to support the family with the money she earn, but if she has surplus budget, shall she buy a designer handbag such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada, Gucci, Hermes and so on? The following is several reasons I thought of.

First, life is short, in spare time of struggles, it is necessary to enjoy oneself. Take a stroll to the various brand chain-stores in Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Avenue, leisurely study this year’s latest popular designs, experience the fine work of famous brand goods and their designers’ creative ideas and taste, take your time, leisurely, casually, feeling the time and money flow quietly like river water from your hand, no matter how the neatly and immaculately dressed experienced and tactful sales person is busy serving around you and watching your every mood to guess whether you are going to buy or not, you just remain your composure, intend to enjoy the pleasure of high-end consumption.

Second, be properly kitsch in proper times. A designer handbag from a reputed brand can speak for you in many circles, especially in business circle and entertainment industry. A scholar tend to be aloof from worldly affairs, disdains to be a companion with the worldlings, and does not care about minor things like to carry which brand’s handbag; BUT a scholar has to join the worldlings to make a living, so it is necessary “to do in Rome as Rome does”, observe and learn the rules in the bustling human game, just take it out of politeness.

Third, a test of the relationship. The man who loves you will at least entice you to pick up something you like in a store and never say a word about the price although he doesn’t know which type of handbag suits you best. Never choose and marry a man who stops you from buying a handbag (and of course never choose and marry a woman who will buy a designer handbag at all costs.)

Fourth, diversified investment. Fashion magazine said, a designer handbag is a collector’s item, and if you choose the right one, it will rise in value just like a genuine antique and pieces of jewelry do. It is said that a 1972 Hermes alligator handbag in Hollywood's upscale second-hand clothes shops sells at least 2500 dollars. Besides real estates and stocks, designer handbag is women's patent investment item.

Fifth, once in a while you have to meet with friends like Ya Jun who is able to tell the brand at a casual glance and lay bare the truth and secret.
But in the final analysis, it is no fault that a woman invests own beauty, builds own style and buys a designer handbag she admires by her own ability.(by: Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags Master)
