Top 5 Handbag Designers Ever

The number of fashion designers grows from season to season. But the majority of them remains unknown and rather unpopular, while there is a close range of designers whose names are renowned all over the world. Let’s review top 5 handbag designers:
1. Louis Vuitton French Fashion House was founded by Louis Vuitton in the 19th century. The brand designs shoes, jewelry, accessories, leather goods and, of course, handbags. Among its fans there are Madonna and Jennifer Lopez. By the way, the brand is considered one is one of the most counterfeited ones. In 2007 the company even sued Britney Spears for this reason.

2. Cristian Dior. The brand has a long history. During World War II it produced items exclusively for military needs. After the war Christian Dior finally could open the fashion house and create masterpieces. Among head designers of the fashion house after Dior’s death were Yves St. Laurent who promised that the brand would remain one of the most exquisite and in demand, and John Galliano who turned the image of Christian Dior style adding modern edge to classy style of the brand.

3. Bottega Veneta is a leader in manufacturing leather goods including belts, shoes and handbags. The Italian fashion house had ups and downs. It was almost forgotten when Tom Ford from Gucci persuaded the director to purchase the brand. Handbags made by Bottega Veneta mean style, sophistication and exquisite taste.

4. Chloé. From the very beginning the brand was focused on bald unique and youthful items. Among Chloé fans there are Brigitte Bardot and Jackie Kennedy. In different periods of time the fashion house was headed by Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Melim Anderson.

Let’s Review the Latest Handbag Trends for S/S 2010

Nobody would deny the fact that the choice of a handbag is based on personal preferences, but not 100 per cent, is not it? Every season appear in the fashion industry new trends that are followed by all fashionistas. This season is not an exception, so I suggest that we review the latest handbag trends for Spring 2010.
• Boho chic handbags. The trend is back again, and why not? Bohemian handbags are really good to be in fashion again. This time the difference is boho chic bags will be accessorized with hippie details. The most popular models feature tribal prints, tassels, tie-dye and fringe.

• Textured handbags. Each trend has its ups and down. Spring 2010 turned out to be a big failure for plain leather totes and a huge success for textured bags. Besides, within the trend there are lots of variations such as ruching detailing, pleats, braided handles, etc, which add a zest to the whole look.

• Bright colors. I cannot imagine spring without vivid and bright colors. Say NO to gloomy winter and rainy days, be bright and sunny. The most amazing thing is that not only bright pink, orange or purple will be available, but you will also see gorgeous neon colors and jewel tints.

• Small bags with long handles. Personally, I see this trend quite arguable. What I see in the streets and in magazines are handbags that are bigger and bigger. But still small cross body variants are swiftly gaining popularity.

• Exotic materials. Within the trend I can single out two separate tendencies: straw handbags and the ones made of exotic leather. Such models have been in the peak of popularity for some time and are still considered the best choice for the season.
