[V106]Vintage Handbags And Purses
by Harry Peter, Har
Women of this world zero in on genuine Louis Vuitton handbags or purses or any other products, for that matter, and particularly so when they see their favorite icon sporting them in public. You might just be looking over your spectacles and wondering whether there is anything new about it. You may be right but it's only a part of the story.

Aspiring to follow celebrities as role models is one thing but below the surface, there lie lots of hard realities. First of all, you can't sell cheap ware to rich and famous and the converse is also true. Unless you have a reputable name, which comes only with hard toiled, disciplined and consistent efforts, you will perhaps find it impossible. Next, celebrity endorsements don't guarantee quality but are designed to sell dreams. The moment, you see someone like a Sofia Coppola or a Steffi Graff with a Louis Vuitton purse, you begin associating every positive virtue to it and you become restless unless you own it. Is it quality, or dream or just the dry intention of basking in the pride of being seen with a Louis Vuitton?

Everything the French luxury brand does is news. I am not thinking about the legal tangles the brand is engaged in. The ?brand psychosis? has occupied the wannabes to the extent that they have almost fallen into the habit of guessing who LV's next celebrity model is going to be and who is going to direct its next ad movie. For the moment, the French firm BETC, will continue with other projects too.

I have marveled at the who-is-who of Louis Vuitton's list of fans. French actress Catherine Deneuve, is seen sitting on a Vuitton suitcase, and Steffi Graff and Andrew Agassi, are shown as snuggling, Richards cradling his guitar on a bed; the list goes on. French fashion house is arranging to feature Francis Coppola and Sofia Coppola, his daughter, in its next ad release! This need not frighten a budget buyer.

Take heart, you can enjoy the classic look and feel or the same lavishness of Louis Vuitton by turning into affordable replicas such as Replica Coach Handbags. Although, a Louis Vuitton is a Louis Vuitton, you are still justified looking at the prohibitive price tag it comes with. Replica coach handbags would have vanished ages ago had they been some kind of lousy pieces and not the exact replicas. Most replica makers are professionally managed outfits that enforce stringent quality checks on each single Louis Vuitton replica on the same lines as LV does. A replica exactly resembles the authentic one in more than one aspect.

After seeing so many replicas and clones, I am settled to the fact that it is one's self-esteem and ego (in some cases) that push him/her away from replicas. Yes, you need to compromise a bit but it is worth it for the cost. I have also seen youngsters complain about people snickering at their genuine Louis Vuitton handbags on the supposition that they are counterfeits. I am presented with a purse and I don't even want to guess either way because I am contented with it.

From container of one’s personal items, these receptacles have become fashion accessories, elaborately styled, for women they represent an instrument of seduction The 1930s was the Age of movie stars and good housewives. Each dress whether for casual or travel, afternoon or evening, had its matching handbag from shoulder bags, bucket bags and flat bags. These handbags were made from a rich array of materials; calf, crocodile, pigskin, ostrich, doe-skin, Chamois, lizard and snakeskin were often used in combination with metals and enamels. These were the Golden years of the pochette, flat and rectangular in shape.

During the 1940s fashion was far from peoples’ thoughts. Designers had to be creative with re-worked leather from old models. However, the 1940’s was a time of experimentation with new materials, such as coloured rubber supplied by Perelli.

In the 1950s Italy re-emerged to the forefront of world handbag scene. Leather triumphed, as no other skin can be tanned to last, dyed in any colour, be as soft as a fabric and at the same time be as tough. New materials such as plastic were introduced and handbags became more practical, functional and larger. Some handbags even contained another smaller and refined bag. The ‘sausage’ style was fashionable right up to the end of the 1960s. The green calf afternoon handbag became a style icon in its day with elegant, linear style. During the late 1950s-early 1960s bright colours made of leather and pink suede were popular.

The 1960’s saw the rise of youth fashion with Chanel’s shining black-patent bag on a long gilt chain striking a chord. PVC handbags were bright and reflective with angular, black-and-white Op Art designs. However, from 1961-65 handbags hardly featured in magazines, not having the look right look for the hip sixties generation. Rising to the challenge, handbag designers introduced multi-coloured shoulder bags to complement the psychedelic patterns and later “flower power" fashions. These won over a new generation of fans to the handbag. In the late 1960’s eastern-influenced larger satchels and fabric shoulder bag were much sought after.

The 1970’s marked growing informality; mixing fabrics, patchwork leather bags, brass and studded suede. Couture Houses such as St. Laurent represented by beige canvas and brown leather shoulder bags with dog leash fittings put down their marker. In 1974 large, soft envelope bags were popular, with thick clutches, such as the smart ginger and cream striped handbags by Christopher Trill. Another talented designer, Clive Shilton, artfully matched 1930s jewellery with floral quilted designs.
