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)

A Nifty Surprise from Louis Vuitton

A Nifty Surprise from Louis Vuitton
Inherited from Classic, Delicacy & Creativity Brew Surprise
---the Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas 2009 New Model


By flashing a glance at Madonna’s ad campaign for Louis Vuitton in which this charming singer holds this Louis Vuitton 2009 new model in graceful yoga moves, I guess devoted followers of Louis Vuitton may immediately be able to tell which series this handbag belongs to from its pattern and straps.
Although I myself am no loyal fan of the Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas series, I do think this newly launched handbag brings in a breath of fresh air. After a careful observation, I end up with a much greater passion for her, Miss’ lv-M95901’.
The most special and attractive feature of this new model is the pendant bead chain design. We can see a thread through the two grommets and eight small holes barely large enough for a piece of string tightening the cover of the handbag and thus formed a casual and nifty drape on the leather cover’s edge, giving the somewhat prudish Monogram Canvas a female charm and a sense of romance. As for the pendant bead chains hanging on each end of the thread, they bring to this handbag vitality! Remember the most popular DIY handwork back in our little girl’s days? Yea, pick out and buy the beads and buttons that catch your eyes, and then string them into pins or rubber bands according to the styles and colors you like, and at last a unique bracelet or necklace of your own is created.
This unique bead chains design lends color to the handbag by mixing and matching round beads of various shapes and colors with rectangular decorations. Moreover, the adjustable thread allows users to change the drape of the handbag cover’s edge. Will the unaffected drape and the nifty colorful bead chains that swing with the pace of your walk remind you of your happy childhood when you are walking in the buoyant and airy rhythm from this Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas lv-M95901?
It’s a pity that I can’t find any detailed feature shots of this new model from GOOGLE IMAGE’s search results, so I fall back on replicaestore.com for some photos and present them here with Madonna’s poster.
“Inherited from classic, delicacy and creativity brew surprise” is my comment for this new Louis Vuitton handbag, and how about yours?(trackback url: http://www.replicaestore.com/mo/contents-id-48/A-Nifty-Surprise-from-Louis-Vuitton.html)

No Need to Feel Sorry over the Billionaires Shrunk Pocket

No Need to Feel Sorry over the Billionaires Shrunk Pocket


According to a survey, the wealth of Americas millionaires has decreased by one third in this financial crisis, only 36% of them think that their financial advisors have performed well during the crisis.

Meanwhile, as Chengdu Evening News reported on 5th January, we have noticed that 300 out of the 1125 super rich persons on Forbes Magazines list of billionaires published on March 2008 have lost at least one billion, and there are dozens of others whose wealth have shrunk more than five billion US dollars. The top 10 richest billionaires on Forbes Magazines list of the worlds richest people in 2008 have lost 150 billion in total. The Chinese billionaires Wong GKwong Yu and Larry Yung have been included in the Top Ten Biggest Losers due to the sharp fall in their assets with Wong Kwong Yus wealth dropped from 3.5 billion US dollars in 2008 to 2.5 billion US dollars, while Larry Yungs slumped from 3 billion US dollars to the present 750 million, dropped by 75%. It has been reported late last year that Yang Hui Yan of Country Garden is the biggest loser; Chairwoman Yan Cheung of Nine Dragons Paper Holdings who is the first female to be included in the list of Chinas richest people in 2006 also suffers nosedive with a decrease of 8.4 billion US dollars in her net wealth due to the share price of Nine Dragons fell by 86% this year; Xu Rongmao, chairman of real estate developer Shimao Group, lost 4.4 billion while Zhang Li, the Co-chairman of Guangzhou R & F Properties, is estimated to have lost 3.6 billion. News of the worl richest people including Chinas suffers shrinkage in their net wealth came one after another.

Judging from the general trend of global economy, this is normal phenomenon. Global assets and wealth quickly wiped out in financial crisis. A recently released report of Standard & Poors points out that the global stock market in 2008 has lost about 17 trillion US dollars market value in the nosedive. In a context where the emerging marketsshare prices fell by 54.72% and that of the developed markets dropped by 42.72% in 2008, the sharp fall in the richest peoples net wealth makes no surprise.

The shrinkage of the super-richs wealth is mainly manifested in the evaporation of stocks market value, especially for those who engage in financial business, real estate enterprises, merger and asset reorganization play. This in fact reflects the huge bubble of virtual economy over the past few years. Since 2001, the world economy has turned impetuous, fanatic and got carried away as other areas in society, which resulted in a large number of entrepreneurs got drunk on virtual economy such as going public, capital reorganization, tender offers and development of new financial products, and invested their fortunes in quick profits seeking industry like real estates, the overheating capital market, high leverage and gamble-like risky futures and products similar to subordinated debt. During this period, economic terms like packing, capital operation and going public became real popular. Moreover, the macroeconomic policys execution of over-liberal monetary policies led to the irrational rising of commodity prices and the surge in stock market and oil prices, pushing the global economy to bubble boom. Some entrepreneurs and rich people are accessories to this bubble boom. It is also the impetuous, fanatic and got carried away world economy that brought up the morbid super-rich.

Bubbles burst eventually as puffy wealth slims down eventually. The economic crisis and financial crisis every time help make the global economy more mature and rational, the votary of wealth sober-minded and understand themselves thoroughly. In editors opinion, why the crisis this time is so serious is largely because people have got carried away and less alert, and let down their guards to do whatever they like in the economic and financial fields with the wrong idea that economic crisis and financial crisis are histories since there havent been any in nearly a hundred years time after the 30s of last century.

Many experts come up with a ‘three must summary from this financial crisis: must handle well the relation between virtual economy and real economy, must return focus onto the fundamentals of economy, and must develop virtual economy on the base of well-developed real economy. Even U.S. President George Bush said angrily that Wall Street should stop creating puzzling things (financial products). From this point of view, this crisis is a good thing that it allows people to calm down, bringing them back to the earthy ground from castle in the air to do something practical for the sake of economic development. And no need to feel sorry over the shrinkage of the billionaires wealth, because perhaps what has vanished is itself the bubbles, the worldly possessions. （Edit by：Louis Vuitton Designer Handbags Studio – replicaestore.com）

Why Chinese People Favor and rush to purchase Louis Vuitton

Why Chinese People Favor and rush to purchase Louis Vuitton

One of my friends only considers foreign brands when it comes to buying clothes with his reasons that:” the domestic brands are far too expensive. Whether a brand is expensive or not is not determined by your affordability, rather, it’s determined by the result of comparison between your expectation of the brand’s true value and the actual price. Domestic brands contain limited value. I do think that a shirt of domestic brand sells for a thousand yuan is far too expensive. On the other hand, I don’t think a shirt of a top foreign brand is expensive though the price is much higher, it is because the foreign brand carries more value.” Cast the ethnic complex factors aside, and I have to admit that among the people I met with, there are more than a few people holding similar opinion to that of my friend’s as mentioned above, and the tendency is people with higher income shows stronger confidence in foreign brands.
Because of my job, as I recently discussed with one of my friends about the brand of Louis Vuitton, we came to the topics of consumers’ mentality and consumption strategies. In fact, the success of all top foreign brands is not achieved overnight as Rome is not built in a day. Almost all of them have gone through a long time of search, changes and accumulation. As a hot brand in the globe, Louis Vuitton’s attraction is far beyond mere looks.

1．wear-resistant materials
Using its proprietary monogrammed canvas with a chemical coating and waterproof embossing as the mainstream materials, Louis Vuitton’s luggage and handbags perform excellence in their scratch-proof, abrasion resistant and water-proof abilities. Besides, their products are easy to keep, and the fabric will soften and brighten instead of getting obviously stale with usage and “LV”, the embossed initials gradually become greenish and maintain unique refraction, clear and distinguishable in spite of distance. In contrast, traditional leather is easily scratched while complicated to keep, and its firmness and brightness fade away shortly after some time of usage, Louis Vuitton’s canvas thus hold great appeal to the general public.

2. highly recognizable
The modern social life circle judges one’s wealth and gives him/her corresponding social status from observing one’s purchasing behavior. Accordingly, one’s social status to a large extend relies heavily on the recognition of his/her wealth from the circle he/she belongs to; but since one’s financial status is highly private information and unknown to the outside world, thus trigger individual’s Conspicuous Consumption to obtain ideal social status. In such cases, value in use is not all Conspicuous Consumers take fancy to. A similar case will be a deer winning more hearts than a cow does although it is not as useful as the latter, why? It is because the symbol “deer” represents something much rare and expensive than a cow. Likewise, Louis Vuitton has become more a symbol than products, representing corresponding consumer orientation and social classes. Louis Vuitton’s Damier Canas and Monogram Canas series designer handbag are highly recognizable, though these two series differ in their patterns and colors, enables everyone to tell the brand at first sight, bringing the buyers spotlight and admiration they dream of.

3.Long-lived design
Just like all love at first sight don’t last long, a stunning bombshell at first glance might be the most seasonal item and go out of fashion real soon. Marc Jacobs has brought Louis Vuitton many changes since his joining, but these changes are mostly refinements or limited editions based on the original designs or around current issues and hotspots, much like the relish serving as the accompaniment to the main course on the table. What is classic remains as the top sellers of many hundred-years-old brands are their basic designs, for example, Louis Vuitton’s Speedy series from the thirties of last century still sells well. The designs of Louis Vuitton’s luggage and handbags successfully fashion and even change people’s aesthetics, and develop in them a “compulsory” recognition of its designs. Under such circumstance, the value of a certain item last long for its customers.

4. Premier value
A strong intention of showing off is the most notable feature of most Louis Vuitton customers. The more one cares about how the collective views him, the keener he wants to show off. However, this mentality won’t urge them to buy high brands blindly. In fact, they always go through careful consideration before buying: which is the most well-known brand, which brand is more eye-catching and etc. Louis Vuitton naturally becomes a first choice to more people with its unparalleled popularity in the fashion industry since people don’t want to buy a brand which is unknown to the public. In addition, many people hold the same idea that why not pay two thousand yuan more for the very best when you are about to spend ten thousand yuan?

5.Unique anti-counterfeiting
Many say that what use is the unique anti-counterfeiting when even the vegetable and fruit sellers are carrying Louis Vuitton handbags? It is true there are many fake Louis Vuitton handbags in the market and forgery of this brand has become a profession. The general public is dazzled by the double A, triple A and quadruple A forgery Louis Vuitton items and many laymen say with certainty that the counterfeit Louis Vuitton products look no difference from the genuine. But don’t forget that Louis Vuitton’s development of 154 years is at the same time a fight against forgery, and the brand should already have became obscured if without victory. From the launch of the grey canvas suitcase in 1856, to the launch and refinements of its Striped Steamer Trunk since 1876,to the adaptation of spring buckles since 1886, and to the birth of its signature monogram patterns from George Vuitton’s pen in 1896, to this day there are far too much details the imitators incapable to forge. To gain satisfaction from the imitations is more like a game of self-amusement for a certain class of people. If you don’t believe, you may have a try by carrying a counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbag to Beijing’s XiuShui Street and the booth owners who sell imitation handbags of famous brands are able to tell if yours is the real thing or a bogus within a few meters’ distance, let alone frequent users of Louis Vuitton. As a matter of fact, imitations do not always post negative effect on the brand---it helps to raise the brand’s popularity and cultivate potential buyers---isn’t it true that a lot of Chinese get to know about a brand from its forgeries and start buying the genuine articles when they get rich later on?(Luxury Louis Vuitton Designer Handbags Paradise-ReplicaEstore.com)

Louis Vuitton falls back upon sidelines in economy crisis

Louis Vuitton falls back upon sidelines in economy crisis

In recent years, crossover has become the trend of fashion and events like actors/actresses turn fashion designers, or fashion designers joining furniture brands no longer make news. Maybe the attraction of tourism is indeed difficult to resist that many well-known luxury brands coincidentally crossover into the tourism industry and all of a sudden, luxury brands running a hotel, publishing a tourist guidebook or setting up a tourist agency have become the most in fashion things to do. With their consistent fame and reputation, luxury brands’ crossover actions have drawn the earnest attention of fashion tourists’ worldwide.
Louis Vuitton publishing tourist guidebook
Not long ago, Louis Vuitton has invited Li Gong, Joan Chen and Qi Shu to feature in its audio city guidebook Soundwalk for Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively, which has attracted many fashion people. In fact, Louis Vuitton has long history of involvement in the tourism industry. Since 1998, every year they publish an English version of Louis Vuitton City Guide which mainly focus on the European cities and will introduce big cities in America and Asia, such as New York and Tokyo. The Louis Vuitton City Guide describes in detail the latest travel information of each city, including scenery spots, hotels, transportation, gourmet and etc. In accordance with the brand’s rigorous style, the category entries of the Louis Vuitton City Guide’s are written in great details and earned it the name of “tourists’ fashion Bible”. Much attention has been paid to the LV City Guide since its issue date and with its cutting-edge fashion taste, its tourist guidebook also leads the trend. The Louis Vuitton City Guide indeed hasn’t failed people’s expectation that it changes its cover page according to the year’s fashion trends just like its new collection does, binding the guidebook using most distinctive pattern, which results in its value of collection and many people buy it as a gift.
The 2009 edition of Louis Vuitton City Guide has been published. A lot of new information has been added on the base of last year’s edition and newly joint cities include Athletic Bilbao of Spain, Nicosia of Cyprus, Turin of Italy and Reykjavik of Iceland. In total, 30 European cities have been selected and more than 7500 local address directories are recorded. Moreover, the recorded tourism entries have been more diversified, for example, the guidebook used to record posh restaurants only, but now characteristic restaurants are also introduced; hotels recorded range from luxurious grand hotels and distinctive small hotels; and readers can find much information about the local flea markets. It is said that the guidebook is getting younger in its content which is in accordance with the brand’s development direction and no more a privilege of the superrich. Compared with the high prices of Louis Vuitton’s products, the guidebook only sells from € 25 each, a price acceptable to the common people; after all, it’s a Louis Vuitton item!

Bulgari, Versace running luxury hhotels
Among the hotels run by luxury brands, the ones operated by Bulgari and Versace have won the finest fame. Although these two brands don’t run many hotels, each of their hotels is the cheese,and from LV online community replicaestore.com,we can see this hotels have gain great recognition.
The first hotel of Bulgari, an Italian brand world famous for its jewelry, started business on May 18, 2004 in Milan. Located in Milan’s best-known high-end shopping and cultural center, neighboring the Milan Orto Botanico Botanical Garden, this five star luxury hotel is unique to its idea of luxury services that its 58 rooms enjoy the privilege of an incomparable 4,000 square meters private garden. In September 2006, Bulgari opened its luxury resort in Bali, next to the Uluwatu Temple in the southern tip of the Jimbaran Peninsula. The resort follows the luxury mould of its first hotel in Milan, and the best thing about it is the geographic location that guests can feast the beauty of the Indian Ocean directly from the private villas built along the cliff.
Different from Bulgari hotels’ lavishness, the Versace hotels are full of art. Located on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, the Palazzo Versace Hotel which started business in September 2000 carries the luxury Baroque style of Renaissance. The details of its ceiling, outer walls, pillars and etc. successfully replicate the Europe’s aristocratic private residence in the 17th and 18th century. The 205 hotel rooms are magnificent also, with some of them equipped with private swimming pools, no wonder they win the favor of the celebrity and aristocrat who value privacy. The Versace hotel in Dubai started construction in May 2007, and is expected to start business in 2009. There will be 215 suites and two presidential suites over 1,200 square meters in this hotel covering an area of 130,000 square meters, whose sumptuosity is worth looking forward to.
