Italian leather handbags

TANO handbags distressed Italian Crunch Metallic Leather

By Seth Miller

Most companies design and create Italian leather handbags with high quality Italian top calf leather and crocodile and ostrich leather. Italian leather handbags are scratch resistant, durable and lightweight. Available in different colors, Italian leather handbags have their own unique style. Skilled designers come up with new, fresh designs every season. Handmade Italian leather handbags are also available, which are noted for their workmanship.

In Italy, handbag factories usually comprise a small handful of people who specialize in particular areas of handbag making. Italian manufacturers give great importance to providing maximum comfort for the users. So, these bags are light and easy on your back and shoulders. These bags are meant to be used and are also beautiful pieces of artwork.

The vast range of Italian handbags include classic leather handbags, fashionable leather handbags, original leather bags, soft leather handbags, leather bags with long adjustable straps and leather handbags with fashionable accessories. Classic leather handbags are characterized by clean lines which impart a refined look. Fashionable leather handbags are suitable for trendy women. Original leather handbags breathe feminine elegance. Soft leather handbags are beautiful both to the eye and to the touch and those with long adjustable straps allow you to carry them comfortably. Most leather handbags have magnetic closures.

Most Italian leather handbags have two or more interior compartments. They also have one or more interior zippered pockets and one or more outside snap pockets. The inside features of some bags include cell phone holder, business card holder and zippered inside back pockets. Zippered front pockets, double rolled leather handles or double adjustable wooden handles, and beautiful nylon or cotton lining are the attractive characteristics of these bags.

Unleash Your Distinct Style with a Stunning Designer Handbag

By Sofia Saliem

Fashion that never goes out of style. That's what you hear on the streets when you strut with a stunning designer handbag. Fashionable and functional. Two words define the modern handbags and even if they cost a bomb, women simply adore them. Don't you? Most, if not all expensive designer handbags are made by hand and the limited edition versions are highly sought after. Who doesn't want to be the only person on the walkway carrying the only handbag model in town? Look at all those eyes peering at you with nifty glances. Awesome feeling isn't it?

What if your friends talk about it, give flattering remarks and envy you carrying it? That would be an ultimate confidence booster which is why a stunning designer handbag always holds a special place. Top it up with a matching outfit and you'll be queen for the day. Also, it seems to people that you got money and are not afraid to spend it. You see on television how those gorgeous "celebs" strut around with eye-catching designer labels not many can afford. It'll raise your social status some might say.

Whatever it is, to have one as a part of your fashion arsenal in your wardrobe drives home an ultra-good feeling about yourself. How about fakes? Well, if you really and truly want to unleash a distinct style of your own, getting a fake handbag will plunge you the other way. If you can ill-afford it, then you do not have to resort to fakes unless you don't care of course. Again, fashion that never goes out of style. That's what defines a stunning designer handbag.

Family-owned firms butt heads with factories

Leather goods makers say products made with cheaper labor don't meet
'Made in Italy' standards

By TRACY WILKINSON
Los Angeles Times

P RATO, ITALY — The "Made in Italy" label conjures images of little old men and women in aprons and spectacles stooped over wooden tables, cutting leather and sewing by hand in workshops that dot the hills of Tuscany. It certainly doesn't make you picture Chinese immigrants toiling long hours in ramshackle, poorly illuminated sheds and sleeping in small rooms behind thin plywood in the factories. These days, the coveted Made in Italy label on those Prada bags and Gucci shoes, which can quadruple a price, may not mean what it used to.

Thousands of Tuscan factories that produce the region's fabled leather goods are now operated and staffed by Chinese workers. Though in one of Italy's most picturesque and tourist-frequented regions, many of the factories are nothing more than sweatshops with deplorable conditions and virtually indentured laborers. Chinese workers have become such an integral cog in the high-fashion wheel that large Chinatowns have sprung up here and in Florence. In Prato, Tuscany's historic and industrious textile center 10 miles northwest of Florence, Chinese who are legal residents make up about 12 percent of the population (and probably close to 25 percent when illegal Chinese immigrants are counted, police say).

For the big-name clothing labels, Chinese-staffed workshops provide an important way of keeping costs down by supplying cheaply and quickly made purses, shoes and other products. It helps the fashion houses compete and, many argue, it's better than the alternative: moving production offshore. But for legions of Italian men and women who try to maintain painstaking but costly old-style practices, the cheaper Chinese labor is deadly. "It's a crazy competition. In fact, you can't compete," said Andrea Calistri, whose third-generation family business has been making handbags for top designers for more than a half-century.

In a way, this is representative of the dilemma facing Italy as a whole: How do you compete in a hard-edged global economy while maintaining the standards that give a native craft its panache? Three categories of problematic production plague the Italian fashion industry. First, there are the counterfeit products, part of a multibillion-dollar fraud denounced the world over. Consumers have long been aware of fakes and knockoffs, made who-knows-where, that are hawked on streets or out of car trunks. In 2007, Italian police conducted 250 raids on workshops in Tuscany and confiscated tons of cheap bags and shoes bearing fraudulent Prada, Fendi and Nike insignia.

Then there is the gray area of shoes and bags partially assembled in China, India, Malaysia and other low-cost locales, then brought to Italy for a final buckle, heel or strap. These items can bear "Made in Italy" labels. Finally, there are the products made in Italy by Chinese immigrants. That's often technically legal. But it crosses the line when the workers are in Italy without proper documents and labor conditions are especially nasty. Italian law governs safety in the workplace, the number of hours that can be worked and the minimum wage, but the law is often flouted.

It is possible that a store may have expensive designer bags made by Chinese workers in Italy displayed next to the same bags made, also in Italy, by Italian workers, Calistri said. One costs about $30 to produce, the other about $365. The price tag is the same, often many hundreds of dollars. That's plain wrong, Calistri said. "If a customer pays 1,000 euros for a bag, he has a right to expect not only the best materials and the best creation, but also a respected legal process," Calistri said.

Made in Italy means tradition, know-how and standards. ... It means not only made in Italy, but made in the Italian way." A Prada spokesman issued a statement that said the company "controls directly each phase of the production process." The spokesman declined to answer questions, saying the people at Prada were too busy. It's the season, after all: New York Fashion Week was in full swing.

Brands Bracing for a Slowdown

from Women's Wear Daily

The better bauble bubble could be ready to burst — or at least deflate a little and cause a shakeout of brands.

After years where accessories helped make unknown designers household names and boosted sales in otherwise down times for fashion, industry analysts predict the turbulent U.S. economy is likely to result in a slowdown in the category, from midmarket to super luxury. But industry executives said in the long run the strong will survive and creativity will flourish.

"When you look back to the Seventies, if we do go into a more profound recession, there will be a cultural shift where displaying wealth is not socially acceptable, but that takes time," said Suzanne Hader, principal of 400twin Luxury Brand Consulting. "For that aspirational segment, you're going to see the economic effects taking place. It already started this past Christmas and it will slowly creep up to the middle section of the luxury market this year."

The accessories and fine jewelry categories have been raising eyebrows in the past decade with the inception of "super luxury" and indulgent lines. The bigger-is-better bling diamond jewelry look sported by musicians such as Pharrell Williams and Sean Combs was proliferated by jewelers like Jacob & Co. and Chris Aire.

More recently, the "It" bag phenomenon rose to entirely new heights. Having a popular designer handbag in the $1,000 price range lost its exclusivity among top luxury consumers, making way for a proliferation of exotic skin bags done in alligator, ostrich and snakeskin from big and small brands at price points above $15,000. Some designers such as Chanel and Hermès even added diamonds and gold to the bag equation. Eyewear makers also have begun to include precious metals and gemstones into their designs, as a point of differentiation.

Not quite a volume business, the super luxury strategy was intended to influence the upper middle class to buy items like a designer key fob or a pair of sunglasses. Due to the influx of consumers gravitating toward the category, myriad handbag and jewelry brands emerged onto the scene, while international brands such as the British brand Mulberry and Samsonite made entry in the U.S. with luxe boutiques.

"The mood isn't good for spending," said Cathy Leonhardt, managing director at Peter J. Solomon Co. "All levels of luxury spending are being affected — even the really affluent customer seems to be tightening up."

DesignersLA now carries fashion forward Melie Bianco handbags
which retail for under $100

“We are so excited to carry Melie Bianco in the DesignersLA store.
