Handbag Trends - Designer Handbags and Copycats
Hand Bags have evolved through the years from just convenient
utilitarian containers or carriers of our day to day needs to fashion
statement with designer handbags which cost an arm and a leg. After
centuries of evolution, designer
handbags are now fashion statements and often classic bags are
highly coveted and sought after.
Designer Handbags
Designer handbags range from the branded Louis
Vuitton, Prada, Fendi,
Gucci and so much more. These world famous designer handbag brands
are among the most sought after bags and they are also the most
counterfeited brands. The replica bags are often manufactured in
third world countries like China where labor is cheap and there are
not as many laws concerning piracy and counterfeiting.
Most common people often wish to have designer handbags but it is the
rich and famous that has the capacity to indulge in their love for
them. Some celebrities are often given designer
bags as presents from the brand company itself.
Replica's/Copycats
Designer handbags' prices may range from the very conservative $100
up to pretty much as high thousands for branded designer bags. I most
cases the prices of the bags correspond to the materials and quality
of craftsmanship that is incorporated into the production of the bag.
Another most important factor which affects the value of the bags is
the names of the company that produces them or the designers. Branded
Bags are the most popular and most expensive, in sight of this
potential demand developing countries like China have been making
copycats of branded bags, often flouting piracy laws to make them
affordable to the mass market. These copycats are often of less
quality in comfort wise and material used wise.
The most interesting trend in the Hand bag industry is that even if
these copycats are made from low cost plastics but have the look of a
branded one, then they is being purchased by customers looking for
their affordable fashion statement. Beware of buying
copycats, if you are looking for a branded bag buy it from a
well established online store or a branded local retail store. This
trend in the Handbag industry, of uncontrolled counterfeiting have
left the branded companies in the red and is seriously affecting the
new designs and trends that they were supposed to bring out. |
