Why I just love being a bag lady
The man who thinks that it is a cold, unsentimental choice for what is a bag but a vessel for the detritus of life doesn't understand what handbags mean to women. To some women, let's hasten to add. A friend of mine once went out with a girl who enjoyed insisting that she had never owned a handbag. "She was a nightmare," he remembers, "It was forever, 'Would you hold this?'"
Contrary to what that girl thought, a lobotomy isn't a prerequisite for owning a handbag. I admit that I've had the same battered mushroombeige River Island number for about four years, and it ain't pretty. But its interior fits a notepad and dictaphone comfortably, it has an easily accessible pocket for my mobile and a zipped one for my purse.
You weren't expecting that, were you? Neither was I I won it in a charity raffle some years back and it only comes out to play on special occasions. But on those rare evenings that I tool up with my LV bag, I feel well more put together.
This is where the line is crossed between owning a bag for functionality or for fun. The utilitarian aspect of toting a bag around is accepted. Men have been carrying briefcases for an age (and some,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]louis vuitton femmes[/url], I suspect, only contain the day's paper and a banana sandwich). It's no longer a crime to be seen slinging a rucksack or messenger bag over the shoulder.
As women are no longer confined between the kitchen, nursery and bedroom, we too need a repository for carrying our paraphernalia with us. Debenhams announced in January that women now carry an average of 3.3lbs of 'stuff' around with them in their bags.
Where we lose men is in the statistics surrounding women's handbagbuying. Depending on which survey you read, women can own up to 100 bags in their lifetime, and spend up to 4,000 acquiring them. It's hard to find a comparison for them. Men love their cars, say, but they don't have seven of them."
Perhaps they would if they could afford them. In truth, most women can't afford the bags they most aspire to either socalled 'It' bags but it doesn't stop the desire for them. After about 15 years of 'It' bags, from the Fendi Baguette in the late '90s to Chloe Paddington and beyond, the downturn was supposed to put a kibosh on waiting lists for the 'musthave' items.
So how to explain that Mulberry purveyors of the current object of desire, the
Alexa bag is experiencing a 100pc preorder demand? Or that Hermes Birkins, one of the first 'famous' handbags, still has a lengthy waiting list?China, where status symbols are the new currency, Birkins are changing hands for more than 100,000 because there are people there willing to pay the giant import duties imposed by the Communist rulers on Western goods.
Clever marketing to women is part of the story. Note how many of these bags have women's names from the Hermes Kelly (after movie star Grace) and Birkin (after singer Jane) up to the current star of Mulberry, named for style icon du jour
Alexa Chung. But the bags that reach 'It' status tend to have something more than a celebrity association. They are beautiful, edgy and stylish."
If one man understands women and their handbags, it's Edmond Chesneau. The Frenchman has been selling designs to Irish women for 30 years.
"Yes, I think a bag becomes their best friend, and that it shows a little of their personality," says Chesneau, "but, also, if you think about the bestsellers, they are always beautiful."
In Brown Thomas, repository of 'musthave' bags, an employee tells me they had customers "out the door" last Friday, waiting to get the Tory Burch tote, retailing at 45.
Guys trying to understand the passion for handbags should look at this tote because it draws together everything women want from a bag right now.
It is nicely designed a classic leopardprint and dark leather trim, spiced up by a hotpink lining. It's got the feelgood factor of raising funds for charity (Fashion Targets

I'm the son of farmers
with the heart. To leave home on the road
I in their own blood covered with your own way
with the desire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the world
dyed a blood red,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I pushed the single foot wheel
carry the mother's love, the father with the skinny
backbone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], took my tender heart
away from family and friends, I put all to
My ideal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The city became the first station of my life
Guangdong Baiyun University -- jump in my line of sight
a strange heart, in the new environment stationed
how much to spend skirt and green pants, to air in the wind dance
how many red lip face,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stir the heart
. Impulse. I'm lost in love
scene of debauchery. Tattle and prate like behind the rain
to his face. The lights are not my healing
maybe toad want to taste the Swan meat. Unfortunately, the swan
hometown, keep not autumn thin leaf
the world is really small, with smile.
to trample on the heart. More than one time comes
heels raised high, jeans, cool.
to put people off,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. I was the son of the city
pale face,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], facing the plain walls
you can check the length of it?
auto sound, love the night with redundant memory
driven into the narrow path. The light is also very stingy
never cherish drinkers waist. Footsteps helpless
to he blacked out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], together with all his
Guangzhou city night scene, very beautiful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], very charming
Guangzhou woman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], love to make new man
vision, refraction in full of residual Star Street, debauchery
I was sometimes forces strong push away, finally
the sun always make me disappear. I was hiding in the harbor
sometimes like to put the heart on wheels, want to greet
the world people. But no one to greet me
I can only hide in my heaven, preparation of hell
story. I want to give her a name, but not start
boundless, no full period. Who knows
the rain outside the wind night sound, is my sleepless
I think of hometown parents. They are now good?
Mother's waist night still hurt? Dad's tricycle sound
back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? This year's harvest is everything all right?
son really miss you. Please forgive me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. My相关的主题文章:

Because of this sad fact I really cried for a winter -- no matter how much I wanted to be with him, how much he love me, we can not be together! He to his responsibility, I to my faith. And then how we will not compromise, who will not go one step beyond...
