Fashion Accessories

Fashion accessories are the little extras that enhance the fashion clothing designs. A fashion accessory may be shoes, handbags, purses, jewelry or scarves. These are the types of extras that are considered fashion accessories. Designers often design accessories to accompany their clothing designs so that the customer will get the whole package that the fashion designer put together in order to enhance the entire fashion combo. If you like fashion accessories, you'll love this article. Let's delve into the world of fashion designers and explore some of their fashion accessories.

Fashion Accessories

Fashion accessories are designed to add detail and "pizzazz" to a designer's work. By doing so, the ensemble becomes more than a dress, gown or suit. It truly becomes a work of art that the designer can exploit. By exploiting the additional designer accessories, the designer brings in extra income. We are not referring to a little pocket change here. There are BIG bucks in fashion accessories, even the wholesale fashion accessory when marketed correctly can furnish world-class incomes to its designer. With the high fashion designs, which are very expensive, the accessories often turn more profits than the actual clothing design. The reason for this is that the accessories can often be used with more than one ensemble and so more accessories are sold to accompany the various less expensive designs. For instance, a lady may not have the means to afford a $5,000 designer gown but she may be able to afford a $1,000 gown and adorn it with just the right accessories. She can also use these same fashion accessories with a $250 dress. She can buy a lot more $250 dresses than she can $2,000 or $3,000 dresses, so she accessorizes rather than buying all those high fashion dresses and gowns. She still looks fashionable and classy to "most" of her admirers as few know the difference, but the secret belongs to the lovely, well-dressed lady.

All the major fashion designers have a line of fashion accessories to match their designs. Some match their clothing fashions while others match the clothes and the accessories. One can purchase a Gucci handbag and buy matching scarves, shoes, belts or compacts. On the other hand, as with the clothing fashions, the improvising lady can purchase a counterfeit Gucci or Coach or Prada bag and buy the genuine accessories. Do you realize that genuine designer handbags can actually be RENTED rather than purchased? That's right, and what if you have the cash to buy some of the accessories but maybe not the handbag and you have a few big events to attend? Why not rent a handbag or purse or two and just buy a few matching accessories? No one will know the bag is rented except the discriminating lady and she will simply ship it back to the renting company when she's finished with it. What a deal and all she had to do was buy a few accompanying accessories that set off the bag and the clothing that she's wearing. No one may know the actual clothing line she's wearing but you can bet your bippy, they'll see the name on the handbag! She'll be the belle of the ball!

Top Brands of Leather Handbags

What can be found in a name? To the designer handbag freak, absolutely everything! Stylish, chic and original designs can be found virtually everywhere, but let's be real here. There's nothing like stylish, chic & original combined with the status and luxury of a big name brand. When you purchase a designer bag with a brand name, you pretty much know that you are purchasing status, quality and reliability as well as design.

Louis Vuitton: This company is the biggest name in leather handbags, for sure, but it also happens to be the oldest name in fashion branding. Who would be better to hold the title of top leather hand bag brand than a company that started out as a high end luggage producer? Mr. Vuitton's trademark and monogram was the first designer label in contemporary fashion history. You'd best watch out for fakes at any rate; only about 1% of actual branded "Louis Vuitton" are authentic pieces! If you are fortunate enough to be in possession one, you are in great and rare company. You see, Vuitton is a favorite with more than just a handful of mega celebrities.

Gucci: Sales of leather accessories, fashionable hand bags, shoes and other leather goods continue to bolster Gucci's sales every year. The longed for GG logo is recognized all over the world as one of the major top name brands in fashion and quality. The latest lineup from Gucci includes the Peggy and Romy medium shoulder bags, with snappy compartments and hot, sizzling appeal. There's nothing like a Gucci for quality.

Hermes: By promoting one artist at one time, on one piece of fashion, Hermes has propelled itself to prominence as far as handbag brand recognition are concerned. If you're carrying a Hermes bag, you can be absolutely confident that it's the qualified real thing. These bags are made from unique materials including exotic leathers made from the hides of alligators, crocodiles, ostriches, and smaller lizards, and may contain precious gems and stones to add to their value and status. The most famous Hermes model, the Birkin, continues to be very popular. At one time, a hand bag enthusiast who could afford a Birkin had to wait for 6 years for delivery, but the expansion of the company (still without assembly lines!) has enabled the bags to be shipped - even when custom ordered - within a year. This is the pinnacle of handbags and if you're lucky enough to have one, hold on to it. It will probably be worth more in years to come.

Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to carry these branded badges of honor and excess. But the good news is, for those of us who just can't resist handbags, the designs created by world famous designers quickly filter down to the masses in affordable creations that are equally stylish and appealing, without the pedigree and its matching price tag! Also, these bags can actually be rented so you don't have to buy them. You can look chic, stylish and fashionable without having to buy them at all.
