Dooney & Bourke Handbags

Friday, April 4th, 2008

If you are looking for simple elegance in your purse’s design try checking out a Dooney & Bourke handbag. This item is one of the hottest accessories this year and it promises to keep its popularity in years to come. The staying power of the Dooney & Bourke handbag is its simple lines and timeless style that never goes out of fashion among those in the know.

The Dooney & Bourke handbag has been described as funky and modern but the item is in no way pretentious at all. You can be comfortable in choosing this designer accessory for nearly any occasion. It stands out and is quite noticeable but it is not overwhelming. The quiet elegance of the Dooney & Bourke handbag is its signature strength.

Some other designers go over the top with trendy bags that quickly go out of style. You can spend hundreds of dollars on one of these items only to find yourself tucking it shamefully away in the back of your closet in a matter of months. A Dooney & Bourke handbag will not go out of style; you can wear it proudly for years to come.

This makes the Dooney & Bourke handbag a great overall value to the customer. The quality of the merchandise and the timeless beauty of the design make the purse a steal. Consider the money that you will save by purchasing one or two quality items that never go out of fashion rather than several dozen trendy purses that are of no use after the fad has passed.

In addition, you may be thinking that this designer purse costs well over its actual price. You can find a quality Dooney & Bourke handbag for as little as $60. The most expensive purse in the collection tops out at around $500. This may seem a little steep but you can easily spend this much on trendy items that are of no use in a matter of months.

The designs are subtle but sophisticated and you are sure that you have a quality product when you purchase a Dooney & Bourke handbag. This item is a definite must-have for any fashonista who is still in the trendy era of her life.

Knockoff Chloe Handbag Style

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Walking down any busy New York City street you will see vendors on the street corners selling knockoff Chloe handbags. These knockoffs are almost exact replicas of their more expensive name brand counterparts, but obviously are not made from the same materials or by the same companies.

Many times knockoff Chloe handbags are sold and auctioned on places like Ebay and other high level auction sites. Since these knockoff designer handbags can be quite deceitful, these websites have strict policies that demand that sellers explicitly state that these are not the actual Chloe handbags. In the past there have been sellers that try to pawn off the knockoff designer handbags as the actual things and then up and leave the auction site without letting the buyers get their money back after becoming aware that they were knockoffs. This had become such a phenomenon that there are now actually website guides on how to tell a knockoff bag from a true Chloe bag before even purchasing. Also, these auction sites now offer to prosecute if a knockoff bag is sold under the premise that it was real.

While some people have been duped by knockoff Chloe handbags, there are others that actually seek them out. There are a multitude of websites that only sell knockoff bags, and make that perfectly clear on the main page. Also, these bags are now even sold in mall kiosks. In addition, there are companies like Tupperware and Tastefully Simple that hire consultants to sell these knockoff designer handbags at parties in the home. Other popular knockoff designer bags brands include Dooney and Bourke, Louis Vitton, Coach, Prada and Burberry.

In my opinion, I don’t understand why we are immersed in such a backwards culture that we would buy a really badly made purse just to look like we spent way too much money on the real thing. Shouldn’t those that can’t afford the real purse buy a less expensive well made purse rather than chasing labels? And what gets me is that those that actually own the real bags can pretty much tell in an instance knockoff Chloe handbags. So really, who are these people fooling? It’s a sad state of affairs that the reason someone would buy a purse is because it is meant to look like something more expensive.
