Spot Fake Coach Handbags

Designer Handbags - Video on How to Spot a Fake Coach Bag?

Coach bags are high quality and very popular but how to make sure you are not buying a fake or knock-off? In this video Pam explains how to spot the difference between a genuine Coach bag and a fake - in her charming southern accent.

Why buy a genuine Coach bag? Two reasons - they are high quality bags that will last a lifetime and they are not as expensive other designer bags such as Louis Vuitton or Gucci.




What to look out for when buying a Coach handbag?

1. Zipper should be high quality - they are designed to last a lifetime
2. Stitching must be perfectly straight everywhere
3. All letters must be perfectly symmetrical
4. There should be 2 rows of Cs
5. If there are signature prints they must be on the inside OR on the outside but not both
6. The hardware must be good quality nickel or brass and heavy
7. Any leather tag inside a Coach bag must have a serial number with letters and numbers
8. There should be no paper or plastic wrapping round the metal parts
9. Buckles must be tight-fitting
10. Dustbags are high quality and plain (no letters) 
11. The leather used in Coach bags is very thick and long-lasting - Coach handbags are made to last a lifetime

Mulberry Alexa and Tillie Handbags

Designer Bags - Mulberry Alexa and Tillie with 20% Discount!

Mulberry is one of the great success stories in UK retailing, despite the economic hard times the world is going through.

Mulberry Alexa

It would appear that luxury goods and designer handbags are immune to the general woes. One of Mulberry's greatest successes is the Alexa (named after Alexa Chung) handbag and despite being just over 1 year old it is still very much sought after by handbag junkies.

The Alexa costs around £785 or $1200 if you are in the

 USA and a lot of Mulberry's success is due to the popularity of this bag, which was launched in January 2010. Sometimes selling over 350 a week. You can however get 20% reductions on Mulberry bags at certain specific stores if you buy 500 shares in the company. You need a special shareholder discount card which you can get from Mulberry's after you've bought your shares.

According to Mulberry's creative director, the recession actually helped in the Alexa's success in the UK at least, as British people turned to buying British. Also apparently women will spend money buying handbags and shoes rather than pay the rent!

There is also the argument that quality designer handbags are actually more of an investment than an expense as you can always sell them on, perhaps for more than you paid for them! 

Mulberry Tillie



Also according to Emma Hill, the next big thing after the Alexa is the Tillie a mid-sized, soft leather bag which capitalizes on being both utilitarian and luxury.

Hermes Bags Prices

Hermes Bags - Prices are High but so is the Quality of the Bags

Hermès (pronounced airrr-mess in French) is a French fashion house established in 1837, now famous for their bags and other fashion goods. They specialize in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, ready-to-wear, and luxury goods. Its famous logo is of what is known as a "Duc carriage" with horse.




Thierry Hermes - Founder of Hermes

  The Hermès family were originally Protestant Germans, who moved to France in 1828. In 1837, Thierry Hermès established Hermès as a harness workshop, in the "Grands Boulevards" district of Paris, with the aim of supplying goods to European noblemen. He set about creating the finest wrought harnesses and bridles available to the carriage trade. The company gained fame in 1855, when it won the first prize in its class at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris and the company has never looked back since.

Hermes' son Charles-Émile Hermès took over control from his father and in 1880 moved the shop to 24 Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, near the Palais de l'Elysée. The Hermès shop is still at this location today. The company catered to the elite of Europe, Russia, Asia, and the Americas.

Hermès now has 14 different product divisions which include leather, ties, scarves, women's fashion, menswear, watches, perfume, footwear, gloves, stationery, enamel, tableware, decorative arts, and jewelry.

Given that Hermes only use very high-quality materials and the best hand-craftsmanship the prices of Hermès goods are very high. For example a Hermès scarf may cost US$375, a tie may cost US$180, and a Kelly bag is in the region of US$6,900. Hermès is considered by some to be "the height of luxury with a nod to the house's equestrian heritage."

Hermès only employ one craftsperson on one handbag at a time, who hand-stitches each individual piece. Hermès production methods are therefore very labor-intensive and can take 18 to 24 hours to make. Each Kelly bag, for example, requires 18 hours of work by a single craftsman. Hermès' leathers include alligator, buffalo, crocodile, shark, lizard, oxen, calf, deer, goat, and ostrich.



Hermes Evelyne Bag



If a Hermès bag requires repair, owners are encouraged to bring the item back to their nearest Hermès store where it can be shipped to France for reconditioning or repair.



Popular bags include the Birkin bag, made famous by English actress Jane Birkin, the "Kelly bag", made popular by actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, the Constance shoulder bag preferred by Jacqueline Onassis. Kelly and Constance bags are still in high demand, and there used to be a one-year waiting list although since economic crisis in 2007 waiting lists have been eliminated, or reduced.

Some current Hermes handbags with prices :-

 

Evelyne Bag, silver and palladium hardware, café taurillon clemence leather,  outside pocket, adjustable strap,leather tab closure, perforated leather plaque, 11 1/4" x 12" x 2 1/2"

Mulberry Handbags and Bags

Designer Handbags - Mulberry Handbags

In 1971 Roger Saul created the Mulberry handbag company in the UK with his mother. Mulberry started life as a British lifestyle brand, but it now sells luxury designer handbags, bags, purses, menswear, womenswear, and women's shoes. It has also gained recognition worldwide for their fine leather goods, a success which has been emulated by another UK designer handbags manufacturer Radley handbags. They must be doing something right as they recently announced a surge in sales of over 78%.

Mulberry Daria Leather

Mulberry's strength resides is their luxury designer bags - like the Roxanne and the Bayswater and - which have become fashion classics. Mulberry hired British designer Emma Hill as creative designer in 2008 and she has since started to building a loyal following of discerning clients for her refined and innovative styles.

Mulberry bags are not particularly cheap but they are not outrageously expensive either, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars or pounds to a few thousand. In addition, if you buy a few shares in the Mulberry Group you are entitled to a 20% discount on their bags and handbags etc... in some of their stores.

Just make sure you they send you a shareholder discount card as you will need it to claim your discount.

Mulberry makes its designer leather bags in the UK at its factory in Somerset and has plans to increase the size of the factory and make even more bags, which is good for the local workforce. Mulberry also trains apprentices so that local youngsters can learn a useful skill.

Dooney Bourke Founder Prison Sentence

Dooney and Bourke Designer Handbags Founder Frederic Bourke Prison Sentence

Dooney and Bourke handbags are excellent designer bags but founder Frederic Bourke (who hasn't been associated with te company for a long time) was given a one year and one day prison sentence yesterday for "foreign bribery". Last July he was convicted for investing $8 M with Czech Entreprenuer, Victor Kozeny, in the early 1990’s to bribe the Azerbaijan government in order to get in on the state’s private oil company. Burke will also have to serve 3 years probation after his release, and is also facing a fine of $1 million.
Bourke claims he is a victim of Kozeny, and that he didn’t know he was paying cash and jewelry to foreign government officials. He will appeal against the conviction and his lawyer feels Bourke has every chance of winning the appeal.

Dooney and Burke fell out a long time ago and Peter Dooney now runs the company. Back in May Bourke said that he believed Dooney was secretly injecting him with a “harmful substance.” Mr Dooney laughed off the accusation saying “I haven’t seen the guy in years and years. No secret injections. Categorically denied.”

On a more festive note Dooney and Bourke handbags are offering a number of special offers this month such as this excellent Calf Letter Carrier - Price $115 reduced from $165
