Ladies purses and men wallets have taken on many looks over a period of time. Early Egyptians used to wear pouches that were worn around the waist. During early 14th century, only women used to have purses that were attached to their girdle. Men started keeping wallets by the middle of 15 century in many parts of Europe. These purses and handbags were typically ornamented or embroidered with gold. It was customary for men then to present their new brides with a purse that had an illustration of a love story embroidered on it. In Africa, wizards used to carry unadorned bags in which they would keep a powder that was used to interact with the supernaturals.

People started calling their hand-held bags as handbags by the start of twentieth century. During 1920s, purses were made that had complicated fasteners, internal compartment and locks. It was then common for women to carry a doll dressed exactly like them as a handbag. The new fashion of upper class women also changed during the period. Women started carrying purses that did not match with their outfits. During World War II, women purses were made of wool as metal was saved for War supplies by the governments of the day.

Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes are the leading manufacturers of ladies purses and men wallets around the world. A number of variations of the purses are also available in the markets around the world. Some of the popular variations of purses include totes, pocketbooks, security bags and coin purses. A large variety of handbags are also available in markets across the UK these days. Some of the highly popular varieties of handbags include satchels, duffels, clutches and hip purses.

reese witherspoon miu miu coffer
You can not tell me that you look at Reese Witherspoon and think she is not cute. Sometimes she looks gorgeous and elegant but all the time she looks cute as a button. Her daughter, Ava, is a complete mini-me, growing up looking just like her mom. It doesn’t hurt that the other part of her genes are from Ryan Phillippe. Last week Reese took Ava for an ice cream run while the paparazzi snapped their every move. Across her body, Reese sported a white Miu Miu Coffer. I imagine that Reese was digging in her bag to find a Purell hand sanitizer wipe for Ava after she finished her ice cream cone. Either way, love the bag and love these two gals.

With an epic eye for photography (and a world of trouble in her personal/financial life), photographer extraordinaire, Annie Leibovitz teamed with Louis Vuitton for a luggage design project.

Her design will be auctioned off at London’s Sotheby’s, November 17th with all the proceeds going for the Red Cross. Annie Leibovitz custom LV design is about black leather trimmings and red lining, bonus a camera shoulder bag with outer zipped compartments. (the story continues right after the jump with more images!)

Her special monogrammed canvas design joins fellow charity-designed trunks signed by Marc Jacobs (a dog carrier), Damien Hirst (surgical tools trunk), Argentine Gustavo Santaolalla (Babel and Brokeback Mountain composer who designed a musical instrument trunk), Patrick-Louis Vuitton (yep, that’s like in Louis Vuitton family! his passion for painting drove him to design a painting tools trunk). Given that Sophia Coppola’s designs for Louis Vuitton were an undeniable, unexpected success, will Annie Leibovitz rise to the same huge design-popularity?

(I sincerely think she will, especially with that camera shoulder bag which, I’m sure, will become a huge fash-hit in the ranks of street-fash-photographers/bloggers! A good camera bag costs the world, anyway, so I don’t expect the less from a good camera bag with a fashion label designed by a such a renowned photographer!) (via 1, 2)

While nothing, nothing, nothing was happening this summer, I wondered where designers were going to get their inspiration from. When things are buzzing and humming along, it’s easy to have the ideas pinging around and coming to you like a submarines honing mechanism when it finds that other sub somewhere beneath.

But with business being so in the dumper, there has not been a lot of development, understandably I suppose, but I liken it more to writer’s block. It’s a dry spell that just leaves one, well, dry, the paper clean and the imagination wanting.

Given that as the backdrop, where were the designers to come up with the fresh inspiration to keep the wheels of progress spinning, especially in retail for Spring 2010? And how to speak to a market noticeably unnerved by the collapse of a world economy with a line of clothing?

Remarkably, several designers, whose collections rarely imitate each other, chose to plum the depths of societies tragedies past and present which culminated in, collectively, drum roll please……raw edges.

Okay, it’s a little literal and yet, pretty clear and given our dire retail scene especially at the luxury end, but also with what has been happening with people’s lives (unraveling much? frayed nerves, shedding), the design statement is honest while at the same time provocative (Prada suggests she was being optimistic for this collection?), emoting the rawness in the moment amidst a decline.

What’s interesting about each designer is that they were genuinely coming from a different frame of reference and the looks are each as distinct as the designer him/herself is, but this historically monumentally disruptive time we are in still wore collectively an expression of “raw edges” from some of our more noteworthy designers.

It’s worth mentioning plus I appreciate the nod and I don’t think they, being the creatives they are, could stop themselves.

Christoper Kane, designer of London’s standout collection, also plunged the depths of tragedies past by thinking about spiritual cults and the tradgey of Jonestown. How could something so lovely, almost mythical, as well as innocent arrive out of that? It’s still an expression of the breakdown of innocence from whatever reference:

When you see a designer handbags, do you only like it because of the designer name? If you saw it on another women’s shoulder without the designer logo visible would you still like it? For a lot of people (even though they won’t admit it) the answer is no! The majority of people interested designer handbags these days do not know much about the bags themselves, all they know is a designer logo or name.

If these people were to see a fendi handbag right in front of them they wouldn’t know it was a Fendi unless they could see the logo, therefore they would not like the bag as much. Its extremely frustrating for women who own authentic designer handbags to get comments like “oh I love your parada handbag” but in reality if the women making that comment didn’t see the logo on her bag she wouldn’t look twice at it. A lot of “handbag lovers” these days don’t like the bag itself, they just like the logo, and just because these people recognize a couple logos doesn’t make them handbag enthusiasts.
