If you are looking for a designer handbag in trendy Ostrich leather, the Hermes Birkin is the height of luxury. This bag makes best use of the characteristic patterned hide with  quill pattern polka dots. If your budget is lower, you can still enjoy the supple, water resistant qualities of Ostrich leather. Look for bags using smooth Ostrich hide, which is much cheaper but just as long-lasting.

I had another look at the Jimmy Choo sale last night, there are some stunning reductions. But hurry up because some colours have already sold out. The Polly Face bag, for example, is another Jimmy Choo original that was featured in the film of Sex and the City and it is now online for a whopping 30 per cent reduction. This is your chance to get hold of a genuine Jimmy Choo bag at a great price! ellipticals

This Autumn a designer handbag in a shade of purple or mauve is going to be an essential accessory for any handbag addict. The colour is everywhere, in coats, jackets and shoes - especially Christian Dior. It will be simple to put an outfit together in purple hues with a Louis Vuitton Epi bag, shown here in ‘Grenade’. Strange choice of name - should it be ‘grenadine’?

This elegant tote bag has generous room for carrying a mobile phone, personal organiser and make-up bag. Why is it called the Alma - the name comes from the Paris square, Place de l’Alma. The underpass below the square was where Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in 1999. Diana was a big fan of Louis Vuitton Designer Handbags, and this Designer Tote is an overdue tribute to her.

• Full double zipper with padlock for safety and easy access
• Small inside pocket and cell phone pocket
• Alcantara lining
• 12″ L x 9″ H x 7″ W

This handbag has a classic sophisticated design, available in sober black with silver trims or the up-to-the-minute grenade shade. This is and oversized bag that can be dressed up for formal occasions, or it can be adapted for casual wear. So if you splash out on the Epi Alma bag you will get good value for your investment. This bag will fit well in the miami social scene, where the successful investor works at a Marc Newson Designer desk fashioned from aluminum and bright orange glass.  The Designer recently won the coveted Design Miami Designer of the Year Award.

When I first heard some handbag addicts talking about their trip to Italy I was amazed - they travelled all that way and all they did was look at handbags! Of course that was in the days BHA (before handbag addiction). Now I am as bad as the rest of the designer handbag customers, watching the latest designer collections to see which designer purse will capture my imagination. Gucci is a fashion house that clearly understands the market - their Spring collection includes the ‘Gucci Hysteria’ bag. This is available in black or white patent leather. There is a detachable shoulder strap and - of course - the famous Gucci metal crest detail. Inside there is a zip pocket and pouches for your mobile phone and any other accessories that you carry. 17″W X 14″H X 2″D.

When I think of Chanel - which is really the ultimate designer label, in my view - I usually think of black and white. Coco Chanel’s iconic Little Black Dress, for example, or those cute little black-and-white tweed suits. Also the packaging of my two favourite perfumes, Chanel No. 5 and Coco. But I really think this cute little red bag by Chanel is worth getting a little colourful for. Imagine how it would look, teamed with a cool black shift for the Summer.

Gucci, Fendi, Prada - the Italian Designers command a premium price for their skills and of course the ‘Made in Italy’ label. But, like any other manufacturer, the Italian Designers have looked for ways to cut their costs. One of these is to outsource manufacture to China. They can get the majority of the bag cut, sewn and assembled before bringing it back to Italy for the finishing touches and the coveted label. One example is Coach, whose bags are going through that process. Read more »

Copyright infringement is something that’s just not tolerated by the eBay folks so they will ban anybody who tries to sell knock offs of luxury designer handbags.

The “replica” market is flourishing by the day, as people buy duplicate products of popular brands. Although such products are widely sold in physical stores, forget selling duplicate handbags, or replicas of designer sunglasses through your eBay listings.

There are countless sellers out there who simply love to steal copyrighted stuff of other sellers and sell them on their own listings. Thankfully, eBay has something called as VERO (Verified Rights Owner) to deal with such offending auctions. But the sad part is that such sellers are not penalized!

When you buy a Designer Handbag, make sure you get your stuff organised. The value of your Bag can be severely reduced if the lining is smeared and dirty, so take care of it. Here are some ideas to help you:
1. Do not overload - apart from anything else, a heavy bag is bad for your back, but being overloaded also ruins the line of a bag and stretches the leather. I carry a tote as well as my handbag to work, which acts like a mobile in-tray. Choose one without built-in dividers as these can be really annoying when you’re trying to squeeze in something big like a file. Read more »

Chanel is one of the biggest names in the fashion and beauty industry. With its superb range of quality clothing and accessories Chanel is one of the most desirable names worldwide. I feel that the House of Chanel has a class and style that none of the other designers will ever attain. It all began in 1910 with a small hat shop in Paris, and now the cachet of Chanel is a worldwide design success. Think of No.5 Perfume, the Little Black Dress - you do not even need to say ‘Chanel’, it goes without saying.

Chanel handbags attract women of all ages - thanks to the iconic images of Coco Chanel, these Chanel accessories are considered to be fashion classics. Karl Lagerfeld is now the artistic director at Chanel and he is credited with the more edgy lines at Chanel. Chanel bags are a great investment, especially if you can find one in a sale.

Chanel handbags are available in a wide array of styles, fabrics and colours. From leather to suede, formal to casual, Chanel offers a designer bag that strikes the right note whatever you are doing.

Chanel handbags are made from the finest leathers, silks and fabrics so the quality is obviously reflected in every Chanel handbag. The essential Chanel handbag - the IT bag – is the 2.55 bag.
