Judith Leiber is the queen of Minaudieres. The inspiration for Mrs. Leiber's crystal evening bags has become as legendary as the woman herself. Her crystal evening bag creations happened totally by chance. She had ordered a polished metal box as a gift for a friend via mail. When she received the box, it was terribly scratched. She decided to cover the flaws with crystals.

    colorful handbags
    2008-01-14 18:54:00
    If we did an inventory of your closet right now, I am sure we would find a black handbag, a brown handbag, and another black handbag.But would we find an orange handbag? Maybe? Or probably not?Well, here is your chance to fill the void. Spring is coming, so please don't buy another neutral handbag. Buy a colorful one!And if you're not the "orange" kind of girl, how about a pretty light blue handbag?I guarantee you that it won't go unnoticed.I understand that some people are intimidated by strong colors for accessories, but as long as you keep the rest of your outfit color co-ordinated you will be ok.Color co-ordinated doesn't mean that if you wear a pink handbag you have to wear pink shoes.You can, but you don't have to.It doesn't mean that you need to wear another pink piece of clothing.You can, but you don't have to.I do prefer, if possible, to match at least one more item to a colorful handbag.This yellow handbag, for example, I would wear it with white cotton capri pants, a white t-shirt with a delicate yellow pattern, yellow flats, and maybe a chunky yellow cuff on my wrist.I understand that a hip youngster would wear it with green pants and a red scarf, but that's the beauty of being young, rebellious and color blind.I also own an every day green handbag that I love dearly.Unfortunately I don't own an extensive green wardrobe, so I have been guilty of mismatching this bag.But it is so comfortable, and so spacious, that every time I take it out of the closet, it's always so hard to put it back (hey, I never said I was perfect...)!.

    I believe that handbags are the most important accessory and finishes the look that you're trying to achieve. Different handbags are required for different occasions.

    Handbags -- Symbolize Female Power
    2007-11-18 21:23:00
    Have you ever thought of a handbag as a symbol of female power and authority? Of course everyone is different so a purse for one person may mean something totally different and unique for another but let's look at handbags from a different perspective.The press of England has spent time and effort speculating and commenting on ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's handbag. To quote "The Times" in June, 1982 written by Julian Critchley, "She...tends to believe the worst of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She cannot see an institution without hitting it with her handbag..."It's obvious that the press equates Margaret Thatcher's handbag with her assertion of power and the ability to impose her will. If you look closely, you will notice that her handbags closely resemble the Queen Mother's handbags. Is it because both of these powerful women choose the same type of bag or is Ex-Prime Minister Thatcher deliberately mimicking this female symbol of ultimate authority in her country?

    Authentic Designer Handbags - Yes You Can Buy Them at a Discount
    2007-05-11 19:16:00
    By Dale GuiducciThe manufacture of fake or replica designer handbags has received a lot of attention in the media, and deservedly so. Designers have made an investment in the promotion of their brand name, and their intellectual property rights should be protected. Unfortunately, because of this attention, paranoia has overcome consumers. Many people now believe that in order to own a genuine designer bag it has to be purchased at a designer store or authorized reseller at full retail price. This simply isn’t the case.Handbags are no different than shoes, clothes, electronics and nearly every other consumer product. Authentic designer handbags, like all these other products, can be purchased at less than retail prices at outlets that deal in overstock merchandise. These bags are not the current season styles perhaps. But women flock to discount shoe stores (traditional and online) to buy last years top name designer shoes at 25-50% off retail and don’t think twice about authenticit

    Women's Dress Shoes and Handbags For Your Generation

    By Kimi LasserWomen are always trying to find that “fountain of youth” or a way to take years off their appearances. Although finding the right accessories for your age group is not exactly a fountain of youth, it can certainly add or subtract years to any woman.Some women continually keep up with the ever-changing trends in fashion. There comes a time, however, where certain fads only make a woman look older. For example, some of the really hot trends right now include way oversized handbags and bags with tapestry-type patterns. On a young teenager, twenty or thirty something, these women’s handbags look young, hip, and fabulous. Some women’s dress shoes and handbags that are often affectionately named “granny shoes and bags” can be worn well on a teen or young adult.If you worry about making this mistake, there is a simple saying about trends, “if you wore it the first time around, don’t wear it the second.” For example, the flair-leg jeans were one of the trademar
