Popular Designer Handbags

Designer handbags are very popular as presents, but if you don’t know much about handbags it can be a bit difficult knowung whch ones to buy.

One question people often ask is which are the most popular designer handbags. There are lots of famous brand names to choose from but some are in fact more popular than others.

It will probably come as no surprise to discover that Louis Vuitton is the designer brand that is most in demand. LV handbags are discussed on the handbag forums far more than any of the other famous brands. Louis Vuitton handbags are also the most frequently seen on the arms of the rich and famous and the most searched for in Google and Yahoo.

The only problem with ouis Vuitton bags are that they are not cheap and also they are so popular they are probably the most copied handbags in the world. It is estimated that 99% of LV goods sold are fakes !

After Louis Vuitton the next most popular designer is Coach, this may come as a bit of a surprise as Coach does not have the cachet of Gucci, Fendi, Balenciaga and Hermes but they do have the great advantage of combining style, quality and affordability. So ig you are looking for a present that will be appreciated but that will not break the bank then Coach will definitely do the job. Of course if you can afford to pay thousands for a handbag rather than hundreds then you might lik,e to consieder some of the alternatives.

After Louis Vuitton and Coach, it is Gucci that comes in third. Very refined and chic and also more expensive than Coach, but Gucci, Fendi, Balenciaga and Hermes are very feminine and may be appreciated more just because they are so expensive.

Two others that you might consider that are probably not as exclusive (expensive) as LV and Gucci are Radley and also Dooney and Bourke. Dooney and Bourke are very popular for people looking for a high quality handbag rather like Coach that is not going to break the bank.

For more information see Dooney and Bourke .

Radley Bags

Radley are a company in the UK that makes designer handbags known as Radley Bags - they are very bright and colourful and also very well made - being of high quality and using only the best quality leather.

They are in many ways similar to Coach handbags - in that they are very high quality but are not extremely expensive. Because of their increasing popularity however they are becoming increasingly faked by fake handbag manufacturers so you need to be careful. There is some information about this on the radley website - Radley

With 99% of all Louis Vuitton bags being sold being fakes clearly replica handbags are big business - hae a look here to see How to spot fake Radley Bags

There is also a lot of information about designer bags and fake  or genuine designer bags over at Wikipedia - so if you are going to be buying a handbag I recommend you take a look and get as much information as you can before parting with your cah. Designer bags are very expensive and it would be silly to pay a lot of money to discover that your bag is a repice and not worth anything at all

When I go on my holidays I like to see if I can find good bargains for genuine designer handbags and oif course my other passion - digital cameras - my favourite camera in the world is the Canon Ixus

Fake Louis Vuitton Handbags

It is estimated that 99% of all Louis Vuitton products sold are not Louis Vuitton at all but fakes. Consequently, if you want to buy a genuine Louis Vuitton bag it is important to know how to tell the difference between a fake or replica bag and a genuine designer bag.

First if the seller has lots of bags for sale then they are probably fakes. Louis Vuitton do not allow sellers to have large stocks of their bags.

Second the only place you can be absolutely sure of getting a genuine Louis Vuitton bag is at a Louis Vuitton store and online that means visitng the official Louis Vuitton website.

Third you need to take a close look at the quality. Louis Vuitton and all other designer handbags are very high quality so any stitching that looks a bit amateurish or if the logos are not quite straight then it is a fake bag not the real thing.

Womens Leather Handbags - Fake Designer Bags

Ladies leather handbags come in many shapes and sizes totes, purses, clutches, hobos. If you want a genuine designer handbag the best place to look is the official site - particularly if you want a Louis Vuitton, - genuine LV bags are only sold at the official LV site. It’s worth bearing in mind that 99% of LV’s sold are fakes - so if you want the genuine article stick to the Louis Vuitton site.

There are other sites however, but there are vey few genuine designer handbags on auction sites. Most of them are fakes and generally not the same high quality as the genuine articles. They may be sold quite cheap, but they are sometimes also sold dear to make it look as if they are genuine, but they aren’t.

Leather hobo handbags can cost thousands of dollars, but are very popular particularly Coach bags, made from special soft supple leather. Although some are made of canvas or imitation leather.
