A cosmopolitan's short narratives.

“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

Top designer handbags

Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy, the luxury goods conglomerate behind Louis Vuitton. LVMH is divided into categories including wine, clothing, jewelry and cosmetics. Among its 60 companies are Hennessy, Dom Pérignon, Christian Dior (French) and Marc Jacobs (New York). And recently acquired Bulgari (Italian), amazing design. Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy has wishful thinking to acquire Hermes (French), but Hermes does not want it. So far LVMH restrains its desire to buying Hermes stocks only. However, Hermes, no doubts is the most expensive. Personally, I think the bags are overpriced, and the only collection which is really worth to dream about is “Birkin.” Now, Fendi (Italian high fashion house, 1925) is owned by LVMH, but I personally do not like design. Fendi is famous for "baguette" design.

To this French “bouquet” belongs also Chloe, French fashion house founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion. Yves Saint Laurent (Paris, 1962), classical clean style.

A group of high-end Italian bag designers: Gucci (Italian Gucci Group, which is owned by French. Gucci was founded by in 1921), Gianni Versace ( founded in 1978), Salvatore Ferragamo (Italian, amazing quality of all products). Dolce&Gabbana ( Italian, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in Milan) and Valentino (Italian founded in 1959 by Valentino Garavani, Milan).

Jimmy Choo (British, founded in 1996) the most popular among celebrities, poor quality for the price on the products, but still is one of the most expensive bags. I was so disappointed when my Jimmy Choo handbag had loose threads sticking out everywhere and the leather blurred and wearied out after a year. I bought because I was thrilled by design, but the quality was not worth it. The same with shoes, if you buy a pair, save some money for taxi every time you wear the shoes.

Michael Kors ( New York, 1997), very good price for the offered quality and design. Tory Burch (New York). She began a fashion label in February 2004.

Cole Haan (Chicago) is a fashion label that was founded in 1928.The company uses very nice leather, but the bags are a little bit dull. However, the company started with footwear line in which the company is more successful than in designer handbags. I always buy Cole Haan shoes, especially which are made with cooperation with Nike, because are very comfortable and feels like “Clarks”, but look like high-end designer shoes.

Coach (New York, 1941) .. is Coach. If you do not mind to share same designer bag with the rest of the city and if today you are on low budget, Coach is a good alternative. I have two Coach handbags, they are very practical.
