For a woman, the perfect handbag is an illusion worth chasing. Handbags are not functionality, they are an expression of style and personality.As a result, they are almost sacred.
my dislike or other's like of these designs, surely design cannot account for their immense popularity. There is something more at work here.Fake or real, handbags are a must have -- more important even, than shoes to accessorize a woman's wardrobe. Why? Because handbags are more closely tied to a woman's aspirational personality than another other piece of fashion. It is an expression of what group you want to be considered part of - but you have to choose a group. In handbags, you don't start your own group. As a result, handbags are a testament to the old mass market view where we all fit a demographic.
I have uncovered that there are five brands of handbags that are truly worth owning ... Prada, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry.The Louis Vuitton bags are a muddy brown color covered with clip-art style icons in a checkered pattern. They are quite possibly the ugliest piece of accessory or luggage I have ever seen ... and everyone wants one. So perhaps there is room for both - and there is a place for the aspirational mass personality. If only it wasn't symbolized by such ugly handbags.
