Marc By Marc Jacobs Pot Holders Bag

Carleenp — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:03:46 +0000

This is an interesting bag. The color is perfect for this spring and summer, being right on pin with the tangerine trend (Pantone’s color of the year). But I have mixed feelings about the theme! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Pot Holders Rosie Bag is a two-tone woven bag with a bit of a pot holder look, but not overly so.

How To Buy The Best Luxury Handbag

How To Buy The Best Luxury Handbag

Before you fork out the cash for a luxury handbag, do your homework. Luxury bags are great, but you want the bet quality item that you can get for your money and you should seek the perfect bag for your tastes and looks so that you will not later have regrets over the amount of money spent.

•Beginning the Handbag Search.

Research your bag! Look at photos online to get a sense of what designers you like and the look that you want. Make a list of required features and start finding bags that might fit your needs. Reading reviews are often also helpful. Once you have a narrower list of bags that might work for you head to the store to try them out. That bag that looked great online might not seem the same to you in the store. If you buy online be sure that the store offers an easy return policy.

•What To Look For In Your Luxury Bag.

When examining a bag, make sure that the lining is free of defects and damage. Problems in the lining can signal that there are other problems as well. The appearance and texture of leather can vary among bags, so ask to see multiple items of the same bag if the store has more than one in stock. Carefully inspect all of the bag’s hardware for flaws and quality. Be particularly cautious of bags sold at small stores or online auctions. The bag could be a fake. Often buying a luxury bag is best done at a major retailer to ensure authenticity.

•Consider The Cost When Picking Trends

Luxury bags are pricey, and for many they are major investment. A good luxury bag will last many years and can hold its value to be resold at a later date, but not if it goes out of style. Unless you have money to burn, stick with classic styles over sudden trends in order to be sure that your bag is one that you can use for years to come.

Take your time when looking for that perfect handbag so that your purchase will be one that can delight you for years on end!

Maison Martin Margiela Booties

I don’t know that I would pay in the $800-900 range for PVC boots, but these Maison Martin Margiela Painted PVC Booties are rather interesting. The original designer behind the liner, Martin Margiela, is often referred to a unconventional and focuses on deconstructionist design. The line now is run by a new team but with the same avant-garde focus.

The boots are made of clear PVC with distressed paint details and an exposed back zipper. the chunky heel is 3 1/2 inches.
