HOW TO CHOOSE THE BAG, FOOTWEAR, GLOVES

2007-11-25T06:21:00.000-08:00

So, if you, buying leather or suede additions (such, as footwear, a bag, a belt, gloves, a purse, etc.), wish to dispose favourably of the money I advise to you to be guided by following reasons. Remember the main rule of selection of additions. Getting these things, watch that all of them were uniform on colour, to a material, an accessories, style and design. If all your leather or suede additions are sustained in uniform style they will look as effective, carefully picked up "frame" for your clothes. Besides, the similar set of additions will approach to all things from your clothes. By the way, in expensive boutiques you can see the whole sets of such additions (named in English «set»). All of them are executed in a uniform key, in the uniform design decision and thanks to it are perfectly looked.
I will give an example. Imagine, that all your additions: boots, a bag, gloves, a belt, a purse and even a thong for hours - are made of black suede (a crocodile skin, a varnish, etc.). Stylishly, the truth? Or imagine to itself an opposite example. We will admit, you simultaneously carry following additions: brown suede shoes, a black leather bag with accessories from white metal, the knitted gloves, the varnished thong for hours, etc. Similar "disorder" makes impression, that at the woman taste is insufficiently developed. Certainly, in this case about elegance and a glamour to speak it is not necessary. However, probably, you will not manage to pick up the complete set of additions without a uniform error. But anyway, choosing additions, hold in mind necessity of their style unity and aspire at least to that in this business you did not have gross blunders.
Now we will talk more in detail about footwear. At once I will tell, that footwear on high heels, undoubtedly, will give you more graceful and sexy kind, rather than footwear without heels. You, of course, know it. But to go to footwear on high heels throughout long time it is difficult enough, convenient the foot would not be what. Therefore, if your means are limited and you do not have possibility to have at once some pairs of footwear at purchase choose footwear on the averages, enough steady heels. But anyway, if you wish to look sexy, on an exit, for evening prefer nevertheless footwear on high heels.
Let's talk how it is necessary to concern various leather substitutes from which additions quite often become. How much they are combined with elegance and a glamour? Personally I have no anything against substitutes as those especially if they it is beautiful, are qualitatively made. But as to footwear I advise to buy it only from natural materials. The footwear from an artificial skin or suede, of course, involves with the low price. But such footwear is very heavy for carrying, as in it there is no air circulation and feet in it, as they say, "do not breathe". The aspiration to rationality justifies itself until it does not go to a damage to physical comfort. However and in this case there is a pleasant exception. You can quite buy from substitutes of the barefoot person (or any other open footwear with membranes, thongs, etc.) as in similar footwear the easy approach of air to foot is provided.
As to bags from substitutes to you there can be perfectly made bags from an artificial skin or suede. They happen are so skilfully executed, that a superficial sight they cannot be distinguished from the natural. By the way, there is a simple way to define, leather things are made of what material: it is necessary to smell them. Things from a natural skin or suede have the characteristic smell inherent in a natural skin. Things from substitutes have a smell with a specific shade of gasoline.
In spite of the fact that the bag from a substitute can have very elegant design, in its acquisition nevertheless there is a certain risk. Some substitutes do not maintain action of low temperatures of air. In the winter, in frosty weather on them there can be cracks, especially in such places, as corners, bends, the handle, a thong. If the bag is made of a substitute in the country where there are no such cold winters as in Russia it is not excluded, that the manufacturer has not considered possibility influence of so low temperatures as at us,
However there are also substitutes, bags from which well transfer the Russian winter, not losing thus the kind. Therefore the unequivocal answer to buy or not the bag from substitutes, here is not present. Summing up, I will tell, that as bags from substitutes essentially more low under the price than natural, and they rush one, a maximum two seasons you can quite buy them. The same concerns belts, thongs for hours, a purse.

WE CHOOSE THE SUITCASE

2007-11-25T06:02:00.000-08:00

Our luggage plays far not last role in success of the given action. Because, what bag or a suitcase we take with ourselves in "distant distances", depends not only a condition of fishing tackles, playing cards and rackets for game in a pong. From the broken "underwater" mask the mood can "break", and rest will be spoilt.
Irrespective of, where you buy a bag, term on which extent it is possible to return the goods, is limited to 30 days. If you have found out marriage, the seller should return money. Firm ("native") bags frequently cannot be distinguished from a fake. Like both a fabric same, and cost similar, but is not present. Not firm. By the way, from the person who suggests you to buy a bag as from the doctor, it is not necessary to hide anything. For example, if you are going to visit other country and depart there by the plane consider, that with yourself in salon it is authorised to take only a suitcase no more than 21 inches in height. If the suitcase is more - it will ship in a luggage space.
Probably, the bag or a suitcase on wheels is required to you. There are three standards of suitcases: 21, 25, 28 inches (in height). If to take one suitcase for three it is better to take 28-inch (72 sm). Such suitcase big, capacious and simultaneously convenient. It is desirable, that it had a strong iron frame. Besides, it is better to choose a suitcase with the handle from a ridge "rigid" steel.
As to reliability it is necessary to take a suitcase taking into account fastening: if they are made on steel bearings, well and if it is plastic plugs - such suitcase hardly will serve long. In effect, the road bag on wheels can become alternative of a suitcase. She more cheaply also does not demand additional leaving. However, last is not so convenient also to things in it not so comfortably. The most suitable variant for storage and transportation of things - port a plaid. To choose a reliable and sound bag, first of all pay attention to handles. It is better, when handles are made not of a band, and from a fabric. And it is desirable, that they were a line and are sewn to a bag not only from sides, but also "ring" passed through a bottom. The more the area of "contact" of handles with a case fabric - the more reliably. As to quality of a fabric, at a bag it depends first of all from firmness of impregnation (firmness to deleting, inwater etc.) But it it is possible to check up only in process socks.
If it is a question of a backpack choice, consider, that while the backpack is combined, it is very difficult to understand, its form is how much ergonomic and whether is correct it is cut out and sewed. To see all defects and defects, it should be filled a paper. Besides, buying a backpack, it is necessary to consider, that basically they are calculated on seven kgs.
Even if the backpack or a bag look so, that in it the three-monthly bear cub will quite be located, it at all does not mean, that they will sustain such weight. Even huge, volume to hundred litres, bags, as a rule, are not calculated that you put in them over 25 kgs. The usual fabric will simply tear.
For those who wishes to bring mountain of fruit from holiday, to steam of 3-litre jars of "exclusive" sea naked children and "a little bit" local cheap wine, there are army bags. They are sewed from very strong fabric, handles and a carbine are stitched on all case to the bottom. Such "bag" will sustain to 70 kgs. As well as in any business, in a bag choice it is necessary to consider all nuances, whenever possible. Including manufacturer of the goods. There is a number of manufacturers which guarantee quality. Basically those who is engaged in sale of the such goods, about them know. Simply do not hesitate to ask sellers about their goods. Eventually it is your choice.

BAGS FOR THE LAPTOP

2007-11-25T05:57:00.000-08:00

Bags are irreplaceable on travel, especially for those who should take the laptop with itself in business trips. Besides, the bag reflects style, a prosperity and flavouring preferences of the owner. In the market female models of bags for laptops which have already turned to a stylish accessory also are presented.
Bags for resocks of laptops should possess durability, reliability, to provide the maximum protection of the laptop against damages and to be attractive by sight.
In our article the basic questions which can arise at a choice of a bag for the laptop are considered.

The basic characteristics of bags for laptops.
On what, first of all, is necessary to pay attention at a choice of a bag for the laptop? What parametres are important for considering at a bag choice? How to be guided in wide assortment of the diversified models?
The size of a matrix of the portable computer under which the bag steals up, serves as the basic criterion of a choice. This size is measured in inches. To settle down in a bag the laptop should freely, but thus not to dangle. If laptop fastens belts they should be tightened under its size so that fastening densely adjoined to the laptop.
It is necessary to consider, that the bag for the 15-inch laptop can quite approach both for 14-inch, and for 16 - inch models.
Usually the bag is calculated on all number of laptops with the identical size of a matrix, irrespective of model. However it is necessary to remember, that at different manufacturers laptops with an identical matrix can essentially differ on the size, and also have additional ledges (for example, the storage batteries of the raised capacity supporting the case of the laptop) on which bag can be not calculated simply. In this case it is necessary to specify the sizes of the branch under the laptop, and it is even better - to try on a bag.
Certainly, the measure is an ideal variant, however to carry out it not always probably (for example, at purchase through Internet shop). In that case, the unique exit is a selection of a bag according to the exact sizes of the laptop.
Dimensions and bag weight depend not only on the sizes of the laptop, but also from quantity of branches, and also from level of given protection. The bag weight directly depends on quantity of functions which it carries out. At a bag choice it is necessary to consider, that bags in weight less than kg practically do not happen.
Besides the size and weight, the most significant characteristics of bags for laptops are its protective properties, functionality and colour.

The bag main task is maintenance of safety of the laptop. Many companies are engaged in independent workings out of such technologies, therefore completely to list all existing functions of bags difficult enough. However by criterion of provided protection of a bag it is possible to classify on a following set of characteristics:
Water resistance (only for nylon and polyester)
Degree of protection of the laptop provided with branch for the laptop (the strengthened walls protect the laptop not only from blows, but also from a frost)
Metal accessories (if on it there are no instructions, means, plastic)
Rigid skeleton (concerns only bags from soft materials, such as nylon, polyester, an artificial skin, artificial suede, a natural skin)
Additional protection against lateral blows
Reinforcing (only for nylon)
Seams (only for nylon and polyester)
Density (only for nylon and some kinds of polyester)

It is necessary to notice, that additional protection gives to a bag rather notable additional weight.
Choosing a bag, first of all it is necessary to consider its special-purpose designation that is for what the bag, actually, will be used: for distant trips, transportations of the laptop from work home or simply for its storage. On a set of functions of a bag it is possible to divide into following types: "anything superfluous","mobile office", all"digital technics with itself".
Bags for portable computers can possess a following approximate set of the functional
Details:
Pocket / branch / a file-branch/3 section branch for official papers
Pocket for a mobile phone
Branch-organizer
Luggage branch / fastening on luggage
Pocket for audio-or a mr3-player
Place for the printer
Pocket for a handheld computer
Pocket for compact discs
Place for a power unit
The lock with a code or a key
Pockets for accessories
Pocket/branch for other digital devices

It is important to notice, that pockets in bags can be target and a general purpose. If it is precisely not known, how the bag will be used, it is better to get a bag with general purpose pockets.

How to distinguish a natural skin from a leather substitute?

2007-11-25T05:44:00.000-08:00

To distinguish a natural skin from a leather substitute very difficultly. Recently have learnt to create even a smell of the present skin. After all the new generation of artificial materials which structure includes a leather crumb, has a smell of a natural skin. Especially the Spanish and Italian manufacturers have succeeded in it. If the product is really made of natural raw materials, on it should stand (or to hang in the form of a label) the skin sign - the emblem repeating outlines of the removed skin. Artificial materials are designated by a rhombus. In firm things all cuts, as a rule, are carefully hidden inside. But nevertheless try to find open (for example, in a place of a patch of the lock, on a joint of seams). As a rule, leather substitutes have a basis, is frequent from textiles. Therefore if you see a fabric basis or individual sticking out threads, before you a bag from an artificial skin. One more possibility - whether to drip on a skin water and to look it absorbs it. If has absorbed and has darkened, that, possibly, before you a natural skin if is not present, - a leather substitute. Besides, on manufacture the technology of manufacture of skins is observed, steady dyes are used, and the furrier is engaged in selection of skins. On handicraft products very often skin slices differ on colour, a thickness and structure. In an ideal, the thickness of skins should be everywhere identical, except for those places where on STATE THAT consolidation is supposed. In general for a natural skin softness and elasticity are characteristic. Essential difference of a skin from other materials that it does not light up over fire. Try to take a skin slice over the lighted match or a lighter. You will not notice even decay. But the leather substitute will start to burn at once. Therefore if the product from a skin has got under a rain or was rumpled, it can be dried up, and then to iron through a dry rag an iron. However, poor-quality manufacture of skins all the same will have an effect - separate details (lapels) under the influence of a moisture can be wrinkled or be blown up by a bubble. One more means - to take a leather product in hands: the skin will heat up, the substitute remains cold.

In this case the bracelet carries out useful function, however, as a rule, similar additions are completely nonfunctional and look rather strange. Such heap of accessories and an excessive ornament of bags any chains seems to us silly and senseless. Let "tuning" of the bags buyers - at least are engaged, it will decorate bags with accessories dear to their heart. Small bags through a shoulder on a chain - one more fashionable trend of an autumn season. Some handbags embroidered with beads are decorated with a fringe with bugles.

Here so frequently also it happens, the thing lays to itself and lays and though to eat, certainly, does not ask, but the dust collects, the place occupies and, eventually, it throw out or give to good hands. But as soon as it occurs - here and it appears, that you simply klad endhave given a hit of a season in one bottle.Having complained about absence at itself endurance{quotation} and a practicality, go and buy new which, despite of the considerable price, is not necessary to what already outside of striking distances.
Если at you still are vintage a bag from straw - to you has carried. Only also it is necessary to get this bagatelle from " bottomless mezzanines " or to pull out from a chest with grandmother curiosities, to dust whisk and deeply to reflect : How to give to this lovely, but to a naive - old-fashioned accessory an actual kind? Variants weight. First result in feeling of the handle.
Leather they or rope - paint with a special paint of one or several colors if wish to keep for a rainbow. It is possible to make superfashionable handles from smooth or stuffed silk neck-piece, yes so that also the ends hanged down. It is possible to decorate external space of a bag several sparkling brooches, colors and fruit from plastic or a fabric, silk bows, color leather belts or their fragments, one or several threads of variegrated and multi-coloured beads.
With such exclusive bag, practically a hand made, you not only become queen of a beach in any point of the ground, but also the most appreciable girl in brisk city street.

In it there is nothing surprising if to remember our newest history in which the дресс-code if it is possible so to name the arch of homebrew rules, was, to put it mildly, original. However, objectivity for the sake of, it is necessary to tell, that in conditions of the Iron Curtain and total deficiency even the Frenchmen would go with packing packages.

Silvery bags - a trend of a season

2007-07-11T02:11:00.000-07:00

For those who yet in a rate - before the beginning of a summer season, in opinion of leading world designers, is a high time to get a silvery bag. The form is unimportant, in this season the accent is made on a material - mainly, a glossy leather or snake leather, and on color - silvery, steel, a metallic.

Bags guide

2007-07-11T02:07:00.000-07:00

The design bag already for a long time is an integral part not only your appearance, but also your status in a society! How many you are ready to give for a bag of such type? Such bags cost considerable money, but at the same time they completely justify themselves, serving you long years and thus, not losing the urgency. There are classical models for which time only does good as expensive wine they become more expensive and more prestigious. So the bag from house Hermes Birkin, is a bag - icon for all times. It has been created specially for an actress Jane Birkin after it has casually met in the plane president Hermes. The actress has risen aboard the plane with a luggage bag and without a manual handbag that has surprised president Hermes, he has taken an interest, why such lady has no handbag, on what has received the answer: During our times of the tendency create besides stars it the first cream of all fashionable production get. They choose what models? From classical, as Hermes Birkin up to Fendi Spy, also Mulberry EmmyСоветы at a choice of a bag: 1. Choose a bag with the spacious size and multipurpose, as Fendi Spy. 2. Invest that will be always a success. Models from Hermes Birkin and Kelis or Chanel. 3. Choose neutral colors. Such bag will approach to all and to any kind, any season.

High grand bags

2007-07-05T03:47:00.000-07:00

Specialization only on accessories and leather products has not prevented to rise to some companies on tops of a fashionable Olympus. You should be given the greatest money for creations Louis Vuitton, Tod ` s, Fendi, Hermes. And one more group of bags demands to itself special attention. Distinction that in evening more elaborate and brilliant furnish is admissible, rather than in bags for parties. Somehow so has developed, that these handbags live the separate life and the fashion deprives of their attention. Flat and small " leather creation " without the handle wanders from a collection in a collection at all firms without exception, sometimes giving a up the place to flashes of текстильно-beaded national creativity. From year to year, at times even bothering. But recently something has started to happen, spoilt all game of etiquette and shown strange concurrents to evening bags. I mean melancholy which has suddenly pulled out on freedom of designers on every possible gold-silver and the stones diluted by exotic materials and generously flavoured by violence of color. When the Finnish artists-optimists Merrymekko when has returned from nonexistence Pucci with its joyful color combinations turquoise, yellow, red and pink when Volume Ford has reanimated травянисто-green color in collections for Ives Saint Laurent Rive Gauche have woken up from hibernation, all this fireworks has begun to sparkle and on bags. If in the past to year mad creations of designers were perceived on hurrah only by Japanese and fans of a club life in it to year demand for wild behaviour has exceeded all forecasts. The ring of coins has muffled a voice of reason in the creative departments which are responsible for design of accessories, and here already yellow, pink, orange, violet bags appear in the most conservative marks. Now for a bag it is possible to consider as the most conservative color claret, and for a black bag you should have very weighty reason.

I want comfort!

2007-07-05T03:45:00.000-07:00

If you can show the individuality through personal things it is necessary to go on shops in searches of that unique and exclusive bag which will please you daily. Because a ladies' bag for the working woman - a thing especial. Requirements to it corresponding. I would recommend to choose to myself such bag not among creations of eminent designers, and among products of the firms, engaged release only fashionable leather accessories (and sometimes in parallel with footwear). It does not mean, that everything, that they release, is made of a leather, by no means. Efforts "green" and dynamism of a life the leather with big success is superseded from use by materials more perfect, impressive and stylish. Most inexpensive of decent firms estimate the products in the Russian market approximately in 120-200 euros., for example, it is possible to carry to them Petek and Furla. More expensive bags make Longchamp and Mandarina Duck. Products of last are on sale in the boutique of this firm located in the Peter passage. Approximately in the same price category there are the firms which are releasing bags in collections with footwear: Pollini, Vichini, Bally. The recognized leaders here are the Italians, famous good traditions of tanning manufacture. But at the same time Italians are known and as big fans of elaborate design, that not always allows to use similar bags for work at office.

New fashion bags review

2007-07-05T03:41:00.000-07:00

Having defined even the last spring the basic directions the fashions, leading designers of clothes a year not change it, changing only some details and furnish. Fashion in a present season in general thoughtless enough, cheerful both simultaneously sentimental. Because and the common moods carry more likely an optimistic shade. In a fashion there is also a never-dying classics. The elegant and rectangular form does not leave collections of leading houses of a fashion. As a rule, it is an accessory of an official style which differs the minimal decor, high quality of expensive leather, quiet dark shades (black, brown, dark blue). But there are also exceptions when to a classical silhouette it is rather successfully added glamure style. For example, Fendi has offered a handbag of the rigid traditional rectangular form, but from bright yellow silk with a satiny embroidery in east style and with ornaments from semiprecious stones. Nancy Gonzalez, Bottega Veneta, Donna Karan send another by. Having kept the classical form of a small rectangular handbag, they used leather of the crocodile carefully trimmed by means of modern technologies which has added a little bit causing aroma of frank luxury. Furnish by metal, addition decorative locks and rivets, change of the form of handles have modernized this traditional silhouette also. By the way, the leather of the crocodile, as well as the snake, lizards, ostriches and other exotic animals in general is very popular in this season Exception is made for such black-and-white classics. As white color today - a favorite on world podiums, it demands the special approach in accessories. And with white, as is known, is better it is combined white, black or black-and-white contrast. All this is presented by leading designers and means a fine choice. Most close to classics Lancel which offers a handbag of the geometrical form from classical 60 in which white and black rectangulars are harmoniously combined. Gucci from classics already hardly further, but with such handbag too it is quite possible to go office: black suede in the form of rectangular bags is decorated by a black leather with metal rivets. At Fendi the form more modern - soft and round, - and at the basic black color on a white background goes embroidered by thin strips of a black leather a flower ornament. Except for a leather to a course there are any materials (but first of all natural, any "cheap" - not at the price of, and by the form! - synthetics). There was a collection of a line of the handbags made of Gobelin tapestries. At Galliano and Missuni we see bags, the basic material at which manufacturing became Gobelin tapestries with flower ornaments, but thus there is interesting enough leather furnish. Remains on the Olympus of a world fashion and the form of a feed bag - too volumetric, too soft, too on a long belt. Similar oval bags from Galliano are executed from a silky fish leather, and in collection Dries Van Noten it is possible to see absolutely romantic bags, made as though from straps east carpets. The strike of olden time is felt in bag to a fashion not only in the form of motives of ancient east carpets and not only in a retro-form of many silhouettes. Bags from Celine, for example, frankly remind big shopping bags of our mums and grandmothers. Such bags have strictly rectangular or square form (as a last resort - hardly extend from top to bottom in the form of a triangle with the cut off top). The double handle of average (or short) lengths is very convenient and functional, as, however, and the accented allocated rectangular bottom. Materials and coloring can be thus the diversified. At Fendi it denim and a light leather that gives to a bag strongly pronounced sports style. At Longchamp - transparent plastic with the stitched leather strips and leather handles. At Naf Naf - a striped clap (a red, white, beige, black thin strip) with the plastic round handle. At Strenesse Blue - a combination of felt and a leather to a leather fringing, a fastener in the form of a leather thong and two convenient leather handles of average length. Softness, dimensions and some romantic formlessness dictate and the certain style of decorative furnish of similar bags. Here any materials and any amount{quantity} of elements are pertinent. For example, superfluous abundance of various chains, beads, beads, a srtass, fringes, thongs, locks, metal ringlets is welcomed even. The whole beds blossom this spring everywhere where only it is possible, - on outer clothing, on footwear, on bathing suits, on shorts and bras and, naturally, on handbags. At Coloris it is washed away{dim} in style of the French impressionists absolutely psychodelic flowers, which outlines hardly, but nevertheless are guessed. At Celin - not less large traced stylized flowers in сиренево-brown scale on bags of the rigid rectangular form from a dense canvas. At Blumarine - pretty and small an embroidery of motley florets on teenage on style bag from crimson suede. Such love and careful furnish of trifles like ladies' handbags once again proves, their value for any representative of a fine half of mankind is however great.

IT-bags. A fashion not subject to time..

2007-07-05T03:26:00.000-07:00

Many hit bags can hold on on peak of popularity of no more than one season. But what to have in the wardrobe 5-th year successively not only it is not a shame, but, on the contrary, prestigiously, and there are presents it-bags. But what all the same bags are the most desired and fashionable which is not present similar, bags which name eternal?

is that outside of a season that is fashionable, despite of new collections and currents. Such bags are always recognized, it is a characteristic accessory for those who in a rate of affairs and has the sufficient budget on the pleasures, - speaks Avril Grahem, director of a department of a fashion and beauty Harper's Bazaar. - They admit all large editors as bags must-have >. For example, model 2.55 classic from Chanel - a handbag of red-pink color, with typical for Chanel a chain in a role of the handle. Koko Chanel in 1955 has drawn this bag for itself. Therefore inside, instead of any novelties, type of pockets for a mobile phone and cigarettes, this bag is equipped only by a traditional secret pocket and a pocket for lipstick. Executed in classical style, this bag itself became classics. But the most important, that the circulation of this model is limited - only 250 copies arrived in boutiques worldwide. Has passed time, and this bag became the true collection accessory, therefore, having invested money in this bag, you will not be mistaken.
Certainly, queens of all bags are incomparable Birkin and Kelly from Hermеs. These models never will get out of fashion, and consequently, not having opportunities each season to buy new bags, but having desire to be fashionable always, it would be reasonable to invest in one of them.
Firm Mulberry has made furor by the bag Roxanne. It is available in two sizes: big and average. Roxanne are admired all fashionistas, for the first some months of the existence it already has had time to become classics. The bag has quite traditional form and is issued in various colors-from blue up to gold.
Further it-bags it is possible to carry to the list The Paddington from Chloe. It has vintage a kind as it is made in style of 70th years and is made{produced} from some shabby dense leather. That you will put in it, is represented to designers so valuable, that they have decided to make its closed on big lock. With Paddington near at hand which ideally suits for bohemе look, you undoubtedly will draw to yourselves attention. It is issued in several shades brown.
For example, once for a long time bags Icon Products from Gucci with bamboo handles have become history owing to Grejs Kell and Jacqueline Kennedi. They have made the true furor, and owners of these bags could consider themselves approached to great. Therefore now such celebrity as Kejt Moss, can make the same star a bag which will take on any important action. Therefore we advise if to not imitate then to look narrowly to that celebrities prefer.

Toy in ladies' hands

2007-07-05T03:24:00.001-07:00

Toys for men did not discuss only lazy. Women too have similar weaknesses. To them carry shoes, furs and ornaments, cosmetics, but the private residence in this line stands the Ladies' Handbag. And it is explainable. Of what only functions are not attributed by psychologists and image makers of this detail of a female image! But everyone converge in one: the ladies' bag speaks about woman more, than it could tell.
If you could be the student at socialism you recollect, that the bag those years at the majority of girls was only one. Certainly, that in it got most, the soft form was more preferable rigid since besides textbooks and writing-books we managed to squeeze there cosmetics, replaceable footwear, meal and a scarf with a cap... My God, how it was possible to us? Now there is no necessity to combine so much elements " in one bottle ". For some useful the prophetic woman also have at all ceased to use a bag, and its place in this question has occupied, strangely enough... The car. The spare footwear and warm clothes have moved in a luggage carrier, on a back seat magazines, books and products, and in a glove compartment - cosmetics and hygienic means perfectly get on.

There are accessories as which we consider necessary - lipstick, spirits, a mobile phone. As if to the others - it frequently allocates a supporting role. But in fact owing to them unique style and individuality is created. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to them at creation of own style as in this season is from what to choose.
Advice 1: put on something exotic in spirit animalism.
Топ-models Alec Uek and Naomi Campbell have already preferred bags from a leather of a python from Dolce and Gabbana. Divide their choice - and you will hear a sound of drums, will plunge into primitive charm of wild tribes.
However the African echo - no more than an echo, instead of full current in a fashion. Designers only skilfully play with details in style of a safari, using them in the collections, but no more that.
Rennaud Pellegrino combines a natural leather with metals. Ennio Capasa, presented the collection at competition <>, used for creation of the modernized necklaces in style Massai. Galliano creates shoes in spirit of the Caribbean traditions.
Roberto Cavalli wild animals inspire on use in the line not only a natural leather, but also other materials simulating skins of animals. Moschino offers bracelets from the leather decorated by jewels. Applications in the form of animals and birds, a hat with feathers meet at Prada.
Advice 2: hardly be more modest.
After excesses of the last season: jewelry, incrustations and other miracles - prefer quieter details from natural materials. It can be woolen bracelets, put on on a wrist, decorated semiprecious stones. You will find them in collections Bottega Veneta. Under the same brand you the shoe and wait for a platform sole from a tree, a fuse and a linen fabric.
The leather of color of the ground and modest gold details are used in a line of clothes from Donna Karan.

Womans bag

2007-06-29T02:24:00.000-07:00

Intrusion of the business world into our private life, acceleration of its rhythm, aspiration all to be in time lead to that we have a necessity constantly to have near at hand huge amount of the "necessary" things. To the modern woman to not do without a decent set of cosmetics, the pair hairbrushes, a deodorant, spirits, an organizer, the telephone book, a mobile phone, several handles, a case under the glasses, several folders with official papers and so on, and so forth. And the fussing throwing from the house for work, then in a sports hall or fitness-club, then for a business supper, then on a secular party with the important people, and in the conclusion - for a romantic supper with the intimate friend (and all this without an opportunity to run home and to be freshened) increases our luggage simply up to huge. And accordingly that monster who today refers to as a ladies' bag increases also. Meanwhile the handbag should and can be for what, actually, and it is intended - by a graceful accessory decorating our shape; last stroke emphasizing style and our individuality. Similar, such effect many designers of clothes who have decided to return womanly essence to this necessary accessory have attended to what exactly today. Probably, only this can explain the fact of occurrence in many collections of known Houses of a fashion level with actual volumetric both almost dimensionless bags-feed bags and bags-котомками of graceful handbags, tiny mini-handbags and evening knickknacks for issue. Their founders categorically forget about minimalism of forms, using a maximum quantity of a decor and the most freakish forms. Moschino gives all ladies the flaring heart - in the most direct sense of this word. Presented by this House of a fashion the evening handbag represents heart from a scarlet leather with a fastener in the form of a metal lightning with long leather language. In general, the majority of mini-handbags today repeats the form and style of the volumetric colleagues from a daily life. A second year the fashion is not left with various bags - and precisely same bags can be found at founders of evening mini-handbags. Valentino offers more magnificent and simultaneously extravagant variant - a tiny bag from the green atlas with a filigree embroidery fine florets in the Chinese style and a long suede fringe.It has appeared, that elegant and elegant can be and not less actual feed bags. It is just necessary essential to reduce their sizes and to make a decor expensive and refined. As a result we receive a linen feed bag from Hugo Boss with an embroidery a vegetative ornament or a pink soft suede feed bag from Lagerfeld with a narrow thong and a fastener in the form of a wide suede belt with a metal fastener.But basically mini-bags have today quite traditional forms which are based on very womanly and elegant traditions of the sixtieth years. To the well-known beauties of the sixtieth years of the past century quite would suit taste and a strict white rectangular bag-purse from Tod's from a snake leather, and a rectangular bag-purse without handles from the scarlet atlas with a fastener in the form of a wide leather belt from Dior, and a flat white rectangular handbag from Miu Miu with application in the form of magnificent colors from a contrast black leather.But here abundance of a decor inherent in today's fashionable tendencies, perhaps, would seem to these ladies superfluous and even insipid. Chloe offers a bag from the black suede, decorated by a continuous embroidery from satiny strings in the form of flower figure and with very original handle in the form of three large copper rings. One more variant from the same House of a fashion - a mini-bag from a light leather with furnish from a canvas, the decorated embroidery, copper rivets and even... Copper handbells. As the handle some the large copper rings fastened among themselves here too serve.With redundancy and nonconventional "orientation" of a decor at creation evening to a mini-handbag many designers today sin. The leather handbag from Prada has abstract grey-pink figure, is decorated by large multi-coloured plates from usual smooth plastic, and as the handle the thick metal ring serves. Sonia Rykiel has presented a handbag from the black suede, decorated by set very large a srtass in a frame from silvery metal, and Helmut Lang - the mini-handbag extended on a vertical from a soft black leather with furnish from set vertically... Elements from metal lightnings. From apart it looks as connection of set of plastic metal chains.Anyway, obviously one: has come to recollect time true applicability of a ladies' handbag - to be the folly favourite by a toy by a beautiful trifle. As for achievement of it sometimes it is not necessary to go to expensive boutiques. The scrap of suede or a leather, some metal chains, the rests of beads, satiny pieces and a little to creative imagination are quite capable to present you the most actual accessory of a season.

Fashion on bags

2007-06-29T02:22:00.000-07:00

Bags my passion, for them as my young man speaks, I am ready to go on all. Well, I do not represent myself of a life without them, also I do not represent, as it is possible to manage only one bag. At least, in a wardrobe of their woman should be not less than 5 as it seems to me. First, the most favourite, as they say for all occasions, the second - to the favourite order, the third - economic-practical, the fourth - small, to an evening dress, the fifth - a backpack for walks, the sixth - a stylish feature, the seventh... Oh, I seem has taken a great interest. Also as well as the heroine " Sex in the big city " which hours can speak about footwear and men, I can speak about bags. So let's talk that it is fashionable to carry in a new season! The world of female bags - is boundless, as the Universe... So it is possible to characterize a state of affairs for today. Their such amount, what even to me, happens difficultly to concentrate and choose to itself something one. At a choice of bags it is necessary to remember one important detail - for what it is necessary to us and with what we shall carry it. Actually to carry simultaneously two handbags: one - small and graceful, the second - big and practical. Alternative to two bags - the average sizes soft feed bags with a brush on the basis of. Furnish can be different - still in a fashion scales, srtasses, a fringe, an embroidery and stones. It is not necessary to forget about bows, figures from fabrics.
Cумки can be the different sizes, still while in a fashion of a bag-rate. The combination of different materials is welcomed. But the special attention is given thongs - one or two, but such length that the bag was under a mousy.
Violet and crimson color scales do not leave podiums already the third season successively. Scientists with foam at a mouth approve, what exactly color of a fuchsia and a cowberry adjusts the person on working, business tone as promotes the best concentration, to development of assiduity and activation of work of a department of the brain which is responsible for memory. Perhaps, a secret that such concepts as "work" and "career" cost in a life of the modern woman on the second or even on the first place and minds of a world fashion reckon with it.
Circuits should be everywhere and always; and from any material - metal, plastic, ceramic beads and so forth especially effectively circuits act in the form of handles. But to carry on a shoulder such handbag it is not recommended, as neither fur, nor leather products will not suffer constant friction. And still if you carry a bag exclusively on a shoulder, choose the combined handle: half leather, half of circuit.
The Bag-purse begins with a narrow neck and comes to an end with a volumetric bottom. Such handbags are much more capacious than it would be possible to present. Into them with success will enter not only a mobile phone and lipstick, but also a cylinder of a hairspray, a pack of napkins, a deodorant of breath and packing of vitamins. It is visible somehow time designers have become thoughtfull, how many vital subjects the modern woman should drag with itself, and have decided to bring in this season into fashion if not sacs, so bags-purses. Similar handbags can be seen in a collection from Stella MacCartney, Valentino, Moschino, Fendi and other designers.
And at last, color. Ball shades lilac and dark green correct all. Almost each fashionable house respecting has made female bags with shades from lilac up to is darkly-plam. Celebrating the 150 anniversary of mark Louis Vuitton, Mark Dzhejkobs has recreated the very first fabric of which made bags, under name Toile Gris Trianon and has made of it the most hit handbags - Sac de Nuit PM, which actually from a canvas, the trimmed ostrich's leather and copper fasteners, lined from suede. Shades green, but not grassy, but cold, on the verge of with blue, or an emerald shade are not less popular also.

The travelcard wallet is set to become the must-have fashion item of the summer. A host of artists, designers, writers and dancers have been commissioned to rework the ubiquitous blue and black wallets including Tracey Emin and Sadie Frost.
Emin is redesigning the blue Oyster cardholders to mark the 60th anniversary of Arts Council England. She has drawn her cat, Docket, with the caption " We've got fur and lots of ears. Love Tracey Emin".
She said: "I actually have an Oyster card, but I really don't like the wallet, so I thought it would be good fun to make something I like. Travel can be cute. And it's good to celebrate 60 years of the Arts Council."
Meanwhile, Frost has designed a special edition travel wallet for Oxfam. She is joined by six other artists and designers including Turner Prize nominee Ian Davenport, Radiohead's album cover artist Stanley Donwood and one of Madonna's favourite fashion designers, Maharishi.
The limited edition Oxfam wallets will be given out free to people who sign up to the "I'm In" campaign via the charity's street teams in London. A selection will also be available to buy from Oxfam stores in West London's Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove.
The designs on the cards, which will hit the streets on 26 March, are said to be "unique to the artist's individual style".
The "I'm In" campaign is part of the Make Poverty History campaign and offers people a range of ways to show their support, from volunteering in an Oxfam shop to making a donation.
Julia McKechnie, a marketing deputy director at Oxfam, said: "We're thrilled that some of the most talented and exciting British designers and artists have said they're "in" to help ending poverty and delighted to have their support.
"These unique designs, which range from bright colourful patterns to bold statements, have totally transformed the travel wallet, which has become an iconic symbol for modern city dwellers."
Others commissioned by Oxfam include ready-to-wear fashion designer Gharani Strok, Katharine Hamnett, the designer famed for mixing haute couture with political slogans, the Bristol artist 45rpm, Turner Prize nominee Yinka Shonibare and oki-ni, a collective of London-based designers.
Emin's cat design for the Arts Council will be available from today across the UK. The Turner Prize nominee is most famous for her installation works, especially My Bed - her unmade bed.
The Arts Council has also commissioned a design from the novelist Jeanette Winterson, author of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit and Sexing the Cherry. She has created a wallet featuring a romantic short story set in a railway station.
Other artists contributing to the project include Adam Sutherland, Jyll Bradley, Tim Etchells and contemporary dancer Michael Clark.
All of the Arts Council wallets are designed around the theme of travel. A spokesman said: "The project aims to bring art into daily life by customising everyday objects."
The Arts in Your Hand project follows a recent Arts Council collaboration with Sainsbury's in which artists redesigned re-usable carrier bags.
The Arts Council wallets will be handed out from today at various railway stations, including London's Paddington, Manchester's Piccadilly, Birmingham's New Street and Leeds Station.

Choosing travel bag

2007-06-08T09:03:00.000-07:00

Any travel automatically means presence of luggage. And it is necessary for transporting in something. For these purposes the suitcase also has been thought up.The suitcase, for the long century, has gone through set of transformations from a wooden chest of our great-grandmothers, up to modern, light, strong and stylish <> as chilly are described with its explanatory dictionary. Before going to a trip, it is necessary to be defined, in what you will store things. And if it is a suitcase, what it should be optimum to suit to volume of luggage, duration of a trip and to be the convenient and reliable satellite in road.Today a huge variety of models of suitcases is issued. We advise you, to pay attention to production of firms Samsonite and Roncato. In general, suitcases are very various on the volume, a material of which they are made, to weight, convenience and reliability. Therefore let's disassemble all under the order.For the beginning, it is necessary to be defined with the planned volume of luggage. Today, all suitcases share on small, 45-50 sm in height (20-21 inch), unique which get under concept "hand luggage" and which can be taken with itself in interior of the plane, instead of to hand over in luggage. Then there are average suitcases, 59-65 sm to height (23-25 inches) and high suitcases which "growth" makes 72 sm (28 inches). However they can have various width, and, accordingly useful volume. For a small business trip, or single travel with a necessary minimum of things, the small suitcase in volume of 30 litres quite will suit. Freely to place things of two adult people - the suitcase in volume of 75-80 litres if you take with yourselves children will suit - is necessary 100 and more liter suitcase. Well, also there are "heavyweights" among suitcases which volume can make more than 130 litres. In it you can place all family wardrobe. For an example-100 the liter suitcase contains 22 kg of things.Proceeding from a material and technology on which the suitcase is made, it can be firm or soft. For manufacturing the case of suitcases, apply a plenty of kinds of materials. The cores from them are the following: ABS or in popular speech "plastic". It is light, cheap, shock-resistant, easily there is a various quantity of colors and structures. Suitcases from ABS make a method vacuum pressing. Shutters of such suitcases in addition become stronger aluminium frames. Polycarbonate - stronger, than ABS a material. The suitcase turns out lighter as its shutters are more thin, that is not reflected in durability of a material. Also it is shock-resistant, we bear to differences of temperatures and it is very light. Polypropylene. This firm synthetic material differs stability to impacts, does not break at repeated bending, very much износо-and is water-resistant. Often in it add a metal or titanic shaving which gives to suitcases from this material additional durability. Certainly more preferably the titan - it lighter and very strong. Polyester and nylon - are applied to manufacturing soft cases of suitcases. These synthetic fibres are very strong, easily wash, possess high durability and resistance of paints. Unpleasant quality of polyester is its high hygroscopicity, now, fabrics from this material impregnate with special water-repellent structure. To erase suitcases from these fabrics follows in a sparing mode as they can lose the water-repellent properties. Teflon. With this material impregnate fabrics of which suitcases are made. It is very effective material, the fabrics impregnated by it push away water, and to them no dirt sticks.On the basis of all above-stated, it will be much easier to you to determine optimum for itself a variant of a suitcase. Being guided by your requirements, will choose in advance approximate volume and the size of a suitcase, a material of which it is made, with wheels it should be or not, and it will be much easier to you to make successful purchase of so necessary thing on trips.

When the job was completed they found themselves with a lot of leftover seatbelts. "What shall we do with it?" asked Dana. "I know", replied Melanie. "How about a matching handbag?" so they made one. Well everybody loved it so much they decided to make more. Now you to can have your very own Original Seatbeltbag.
Each Seatbelt Bag is lined with genuine flight satin, used by the US Airforce to make flight jackets and sewn with NASA certified thread (yes, that NASA). Bags feature either a magnetic snap closure or a YKK zipper and many bags feature chrome feet imported from Italy. Made of the same seat belt you use to protect your life.
Ourstory_cartoons They started making them in our one car garage in California but quickly outgrew it. They have since expanded to a 12,000 ft2 design studio in Santa Ana, California where every SEATBELTBAG is lovingly Built in the USA to exact specifications.
They are committed to producing a bag of superior quality using the finest and most durable materials available. Never satisfied with the status quo, they are constantly adding new colors and styles.
HARVEYS joined MADD this month at their national convention in Anaheim CA. HARVEYS has supported MADD since 2003 and this year we were recognized with an award for our contributions and efforts to stop drunk driving. Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry, who is the MADD National spokesperson and a HARVEYS fan visited the HARVEYS booth and hundreds of people turned out to take a picture with her.
To support MADD check out our MADDbags at seatbeltbags.com. Harveys donates $25 for each bag sold.
Environmentally cool, supports a great cause, a fashion statement and a great accessory for all the car loving women , ( including me). A Harvey Seatbelt bag is on my holiday gift wish list this year for sure!

Notebooks Bags

There aren't many companies in the world that can boast of a fanatical customer base. Apple has their Mac-heads who live and breathe every Apple rumor and product announcement. Perhaps AMD-ATI and NVIDIA can make such claims about their customers too. However I think Crumpler has a fan base that rivals these tech companies... and for a company that makes bags, that's a big accomplishment. What am I talking about? Crumpler is an Australian bag manufacturer with a humble beginning making bags for couriers in Melbourne. They started with a small shop making bags on a sewing machine, and now they have stores all over the world including New York, Tokyo, Toronto, and Manila. Their brightly colored bags and their distinct designs are their signature, and their laid-back and whacky behavior has charmed customers who are bored of the standard black shoulder bags. While some other bag manufacturers boast of their sheer number of pockets and compartments, Crumpler is all about durable design, style, and strange antics (just check out their website!).

Top: The Skiivy (medium)

Left: The Dreadful Embarassment

Right: The Horseman

Today Crumpler makes all sorts of bags for your stuff, including bags for cameras and notebooks, ranging in styles like messenger bags and backpacks. We're going to take a good look at three notebook bags from Crumpler: The Skivvy, The Dreadful Embarrassment, and The Horseman. As you can see, the names of the bags are very unusual... but that's what gives Crumpler their personality. It just doesn't feel like you're getting another bag, rather it feels like your adopting a new pet into your family.

How We Review Bags

I know that testing a bag is fairly subjective, which is why I strongly recommend you to go out and try these bags on and see if it's enough for your needs. However, we don't always have that luxury so it is our hope to provide you with enough detail to make an informed decision.To ensure that we give the bags a fair chance, we used all three Crumpler bags extensively for two months traveling on the subway, in a car, walking, and shopping. Wherever we went, the bags came along.

Putting on your Skivvy

What the heck is a Skivvy anyway and what does that have to do with a bag? For those who don't know (don't be embarrassed if you don't!), *skivvy* is slang for underwear. Yep. That's right; Crumpler has named this bag underwear. So let me ask you this, do you wear your underwear on the inside or on the outside?The Skivvy comes in three different sizes (small for a 12" notebook, medium for 14" or a compact 15", and large for 15" and slim 17"), and a wide variety of colours. Between the three sizes, you can choose from 5 to 7 different colour coordinations to suit your personality. The medium sized Skivvy we have here today comes in 5 schemes, red being the one we received.

The Asus Z96J I use regularly is a beefy 15.4" notebook similar to a Dell Inspiron or an HP Pavilion. Though the Skivvy is advertised to accommodate a 15" notebook, and The Skivvy barely fit the Z96J. It was very snug leaving no slack for any accessories inside the main compartment. A 15" standard 4:3 aspect notebook would probably be fine in this bag, but not 15.4" which are more popular these days.
It should accommodate slimmer 15" notebooks like a MacBook Pro or a Sony VAIO, and it handled my 14.1" Compaq with no problems. Regardless of which notebook you put into the Skivvy, there isn't much room for other items. I guess with a name like "Skivvy" you'll be carrying just the bare essentials.

The Asus Z96J barely fits into the medium Skiivy.

The Skivvy has a simple compartment design with no pockets or zippers aside from the one for the outer-most compartment. Very basic design for someone looking to travel light and quickly.

Skivvy Specifications (from the Crumpler website)

Compact padded laptop sleeve tailored for 14 & 15" laptops and a few accessories.
Water resistant 900D Nylon shell & 420D Ripstop Nylon lining
Padded laptop compartment
Large external gusseted zip pocket
Adjustable & removable main strap
Carry handle
Velcro release flap
Fits most 14 & 15" laptops (14" or compact 15" laptop, also fits 13" & 15" MacBook Pro, power supply and mouse)
It's also a versatile equipment bag due its 'tennis ball' seam, easily masking the shape of bulky objects carried within

Physical Dimensions:

35 x 34 x 7cm / 14" x 13.5" x 2.5"
vol 4 litres
Laptop size: 32.5x30x5cm / 12.8x11.8x2"

Our next bag is called the Dreadful Embarrassment and is a much larger bag compared to the Skivvy. The Dreadful Embarrassment is a fair sized bag able to hold your 15.4" notebook, accessories, and your belongings.

On the outside of the bag, you will not find any exterior pockets which is a common thing on Crumpler bags. Crumpler prefers to keep their contents concealed inside the bag rather on the outside where thieves can grab it, also and it makes the bag look a lot tidier.
The strap on the Dreadful Embarrassment is adjustable and comes with a thick shoulder pad for comfort. This is great because nothing sucks more than a strap digging into your shoulder while you're waiting for a plane or running to an appointment.
The cover is held in place with two very large Velcro pads and by two adjustable plastic clips. I found the Velcro is enough to keep everything secure, though the clips do add some extra security.

The front of the bag also has an interesting pleat which at a first glance is just for style, but actually conceals thoughtful design. Taking a cue from luggage, the pleat (which Crumpler calls the "Tennis Ball Seam") is actually an accordion pouch which expands and extra 2 inches if needed. So if you're loading up the Dreadful Embarrassment with a large amount of stuff, the compartment inside actually expands a bit to give you extra space.There are three main compartments inside The Dreadful Embarrassment: the padded notebook compartment, the middle compartment, and the front compartment.

Unlike other computer bag companies who pad the entire bag, Crumpler only pads the notebook compartment which is roughly 1/3 of the space. This may seem a bit odd, but it makes the bag lighter and more flexible so it can carry odd-sized objects. Is there a need to pad the entire interior of a bag when the only valuable and breakable component is the computer itself?
The computer compartment is just a simple sleeve with a Velcro strap to keep it snug.
The middle compartment is the largest area capable of carrying another notebook if you choose, and the power adapters for both systems. There are pouches and pockets on the inside panels to hold pens, a small MP3 player (like a Nano), keys and other small objects.

The outer compartment is just another place to put more stuff and has a nice meaty zipper to keep it shut. The zipper is worth focusing on because it feels very well designed - the fabric, the teeth, and the tab all feel sturdy and strong.My only beef with The Dreadful Embarrassment is that it does not have a carrying handle of any sort. A handle would be very useful in helping you navigate through tight spots like through a crowded place or when exiting a car, instead this bag requires you to have it over your shoulder at all times.

The Dreadful Embarrassment Specs (from Crumpler's website)

Water resistant 900D Nylon shell & 420D Ripstop Nylon lining

External zip pocket
3x internal front pockets

The last Crumpler bag we are looking at today is the largest of the three. The Horseman is a legendary sack that is capable of carrying all your stuff and more. Like all the bags we've looked at so far the Horseman is simple in design which carries with it the same pros and cons. The advantage is that you get a bag that's functional and simple, but on the other hand, you compromise a bit by not having any readily accessible exterior pockets.The shoulder strap is a little different from the other bags because it uses a locking buckle-like mechanism, called a Quick Flick buckle, in which you pull the excess strap through like an airplane seatbelt. It makes adjustments a bit easier to do.

The Horseman also has something called a 3rd Leg (yep, you heard that right) which is an extra strap you can attach to give extra stability when having the bag slung across your body. The following image demonstrates its purpose.
I found that the 3rd Leg did help a lot in distributing the weight across the body instead of just across one shoulder. However, the buckle would dig into my ribs, which isn't so pleasant.
Unlike the Skivvy and the Dreadful Embarrassment, the Horseman has loops on the exterior in which you can use to attach other things. In this case, I have a Crumpler Thirsty Al add on which straps on nicely.
The cover is held in place using two large Velcro areas and two buckles. On the inside of the cover, you will find a zippered mesh pocket. I found this pocket useful to hold keys, packs of gum, and other objects. But because this pocket is on the inside of the cover, if you open the bag and the mesh pocket is unzippered, your contents can spill out. I think it would have been more useful if this pocket were zippered on both sides so you can access its contents regardless of how you access the bag.On the inside of the Horseman, you have plenty of warehousing space to place all your belongings. In all the compartments, I managed to cram a lot of junk including my notebook into its compartments.

There is a padded compartment for a notebook computer. It had absolutely no problems fitting a 15.4" notebook, but there isn't enough room for a 17" notebook like the Dell XPS M1710.
Unlike other bags in this review, The Horseman has the entire middle compartment as well as the notebook sleeve padded for security. In the middle compartment there are two velcroed pockets which are useful for holding a mouse and small cables.

In the outer most compartment there are two medium sized pockets, pen holders, and a larger zippered pocket. The outer compartment also uses the same "Tennis Ball Seam" which helps you fit odd-sized objects.

The Horseman Specifications (from the Crumpler website)

Water resistant 1000D Nylon shell & 420D Ripstop Nylon lining
Fully padded main & laptop compartments
1x external gusseted zip pocket w/ 6 pocket organizer

Removable shoulder pad with "Third Leg" stability strap
Clip & Velcro release flap
Compact 17" laptop & accessories, A4/Letter-size documents & magazines as well as daily essentials. Works with 17" PowerBook & MacBook Pro
Use the main or side strap to attach an optional extra Thirsty Al mobile phone holder.

I had a chance to speak to David Rose, the co-founder and CEO of Crumpler, and discussed various topics from the inspiration of their unique product names, to their unusual designs.
The vision for the company's products comes from Stewart Crumpler the artist turned bag designer who likes working with metal and industrial styles. Today you can see this translate into their bags with big heavy zippers, mesh pockets, and large buckles.

Dave Rose describes Crumpler's bags as being "over engineered" and I would have to agree. Crumpler uses very good materials and construction to ensure that their products are as tough as they are attractive. The nylon used on the exterior is extremely resistant to rips and wear, and the material is also naturally water resistant. The liner is made from a lighter nylon that other bag companies would use as their exterior material. Overall the material used is overkill - you really don't need material this tough for most every day situations, but it's all about providing a bag that is resilient and unique.

The nylon on Crumpler bags are naturally water resistant.This photo was taken after 5 minutes of putting water on the bag.

I personally own a Crumpler bag (a Karachi Outpost) that I have used extensively for the past year carrying 30 lbs. worth of computer and camera equipment. My Crumpler hasn't shown any obvious signs of wear and tear aside from a stubborn mark during a 10 day trip in Nicaragua. From personal experience I can say that these bags are strong. In contrast, I own another notebook bag from a popular peripheral/bag company whose metal strap fastener broke on the 2nd day of carrying 10 lbs of gear (my laptop and some papers).My only recommendations to Crumpler would be to consider adding some exterior pockets, pad the bottom of their bags to protect contents, and to add a handle to their bags so you can carry them differently.

Comfort

I find the comfort of these messenger bags very subjective because it really depends a lot on posture, the weight of the contents inside your bag, and your physique. From personally testing these bags over a 2 month period, I can say that they are comfortable as long as you use them within reason. In all cases, I felt back and shoulder tension when I put too much inside the bag or carried it for too long without a break. You're going to experience that with any shoulder bag, not just the ones from Crumpler.
Interestingly, The Horseman and the Dreadful Embarrassment are both designed to be slung across the body rather than hanging off one shoulder. Both bags feel a lot more comfortable being carried this way because the bags curve slightly to hug your side or back... making it easy to lug around.
Personally, I like the feel of The Horseman because of its large thick shoulder pad and the 3rd leg makes it a lot easier to carry.
Crumpler manufactures bags at a various price points and styles. The chances are there is a notebook bag that will fit within your budget. However, Crumpler bags are generally not cheap, nor are they supposed to be - you do pay a little extra, but you get a bit more in terms of design, durability, and style. Perhaps Crumpler's biggest challenge is convincing the money-conscious buyer that Crumpler's more expensive bag is worth the investment over your typical (and probably cheaper) bag from the competitor.Crumpler makes some of the most unique and attractive bags for notebook computers. While other companies are just warming up to colours other than black, Crumpler has embraced the full spectrum of colours in all their products. The selection of colours, clean designs, and durable quality really makes these bags worthy of daily use while managing to make you stand out.

Ironically, the thing which makes Crumpler so lovable is also one of the reasons you'd hate them. Because the company is so obsessed with simple and effective designs, their bags often lack things you've come to use and love on other bags like karabiner loops and outside pockets. I guess that would make Crumpler similar to the Apple Computers of the bag world.Without a doubt, Crumpler is different from your traditional notebook bag manufacturer. While other companies are content in selling you a product, Crumpler seems to want you to make a fashion statement with their accessories. You will be happy with this Aussie blend of fashionable design, strength, and functionality; just as long as you are willing to pay a little extra and can tolerate the little quirks in their designs.

Custom bags evolve into big business

2007-06-05T04:42:00.000-07:00

Some women go shopping for a purse. Natala Gahm designs her own.
"I like my bags to pop," the Louisville, Ky., woman said. "Bright colors. Polka dots. Zebra stripes. Things that just kind of show, I think, my personality."
That's why Gahm is a regular customer of B's Purses, a Louisville company started by three young mothers in 2004 that allows women to customize their bags.
"You get to design every aspect of this bag, from start to finish," with a choice of fabrics, colors, designs, shapes, monograms and other options, co-founder Lisa Henderson said.
That approach, combined with a marketing technique that has attracted 1,700 sales representatives across the country, led the company to explosive growth from its first day.
When B's began, co-founder Susan Guillen sewed each bag by hand. But the company quickly turned the sewing work over to a Kentucky plant. Sales reached$1 million in the first year and are projected at $2.5 million this year, Henderson said. The fifth-year goal is $10 million in sales.
B's sells purses, baby bags, computer bags, pool totes and other carriers, with prices ranging from about $75 to $125. The average is $100. Purchases are placed with the representative or can be made online. It takes about a month to produce and deliver an order.
The opportunity to design your own bag has powerful appeal, Gahm said. People with conservative tastes can devise a purse accordingly. But those looking for more flash have many options, too.
"You can take a basic bag with a print and put a funky trim on it or a funky handle on it and just kind of make it a lot of fun," Gahm said.
B's has its roots in a small purse-making business that Guillen ran in the basement of her Birmingham, Ala., home beginning in 2001. She hadn't worked in textiles before but had a knack for the business because her mother is an interior decorator.
Guillen met her future partners though her sister, Angela Clark, who lives in Louisville and helped Guillen sell purses to friends when she visited Kentucky. One of those new customers was Henderson, and it wasn't long before the pair teamed with Sandra Masters to start a company. Masters is in charge of operations.
Henderson, who had a background in marketing, said she was confident that a direct-sales plan was the best way to sell the product. The representatives hold small sales parties for friends and acquaintances.
The women also were confident that demographics favored their product.
"Purses are the No. 1 accessory in the accessory industry," Henderson said. "Eighty-five percent of all shoppers are women, and 85 percent of all direct-sales people are women. So you put all three of those together, and you've got a hit."
The partners expected to line up 25 representatives their first year. Instead, they had 300.
The women run their business in an office that presents a decidedly feminine style. Placards over their desks warn of "Drama Queen" and "High Maintenance."
But men who mistake their company for a housewives' hobby are set straight when they hear the company's financials.
"They say, 'Oh, that's so cute - they do purses,' " Guillen said. "Then we say, 'Yeah, and we sold a million dollars of them last year. Two million dollars, actually.' "
Then, Henderson said, it's "Oh, yeah, we'd like to do business with you."

Alchemy goods=Seat belts+Bags

2007-05-30T07:14:00.001-07:00

For all of you pedal heads out there- Alchemy Goods in Seattle has been 'turning useless into useful' with their new bag lineup. Made from used tire inner tubes, seat belts, and other various recycled materials, Alchemy's Messenger Bag and Haversack surprised me with the level of style they've attained given the materials they're made of. On the upper right hand corner of the 'AG' logo, you'll find a small number with big significance: this number denotes the percent, by weight, of the recycled materials used to make your individual bag. I also got a kick out of some of the accessories Alchemy makes, including Schrader tire valve zipper pulls and the 'Bottle ReOpener,' which is made with used seat belt clasps. The term Alchemy refers to the medieval science of turning lead into gold; in a broader sense, it signifies turning something of lesser value into something of greater value. Alchemy Goods finds its value in environmental sustainability, and I like that.

Moe Bags's Biography

2007-05-30T07:11:00.000-07:00

Look no further, this is where fashion meets comfort...
After years of frustration when going out at night with the hassle of a purse falling off my shoulder or clutched in my hand, I have created the perfect solution for the ultimate party girl.
The name derives from the bag's intended contents, a girl's nightly essentials: Cell phone, Lip gloss, Identification, Cash, and Keys. Call it a tackle bag, if you will. It holds everything you need, and you won't have to worry about it all night.
The unique strap-in-strap design allows the C.L.I.C.K. bag to slip on your wrist and remain without fuss or further attention. The light leather bag simply hangs from your wrist as you continue flirting with a new beau, balancing your martini, and dancing the night away!
The distinct colors and textures make your C.L.I.C.K.bag a signature piece for any outfit. While Moe has applied current trends, I have taken it one step further to offer a chic look that will set you apart from the crowd. Each bag incorporates multiple colors to accommodate whatever outfit your mood summons. At the same time, the leather possesses unusual patterns, textures, and glosses to complete any look. Ornament everything from your t-shirt and jeans to that new hot dress you're dying to wear.
Enjoy a night of effortless style, take out your C.L.I.C.K. bag!The Designer - Mary Rambin
The designer who created Moe in an effort to combine fashion, utility, and comfort. While this goal might seem out of reach, she actually has constructed a handbag to fulfill all of these expectations:and so much more.
Reigning from Texas, Mary brings a southern sensibility to the Hollywood high life. Her career in fashion began as a teen runway model in Houston, yet she soon learned that her true calling was working behind the scenes. Refocusing her energies to photography and make-up, Mary was able to cultivate and sharpen her creative talents. Later, working for owners and designers of unique labels in Los Angeles, Mary focused her personal style to fuse modern trends with elegance and sophistication.
Mary's inspiration for Moe is two-fold. Her purses serve a purpose while being trendy, yet distinctive, from others in the market. Although some people are trying to fit in, most are attempting to be individual from the branded masses. Living in London among a population of unique individuals offered Mary a perspective of liberated style she had never before experienced. Moe is her means of providing American women with the same independence by rethinking trends and considering convenience.
Moe answers with the C.L.I.C.K. Bag, a product of Mary's determination to provide the perfect accomplice for all party girls who understand the secrets of being beautiful and making it effortless. Its moniker derives from the bag's intended contents, a woman's nightly essentials: Cell phone, Lip gloss, Identification, Cash, Keys. The C.L.I.C.K. bag is the Texas answer to a Hollywood problem: a product that is chic, yet simple and sophisticated.
While there are a plethora of small trendy bags available in the marketplace, Mary feels as though the designs have missed their mark. In other words, although the size of the purse is small, their burden is large. Wristlets, clutches, and shoulder bags are assumed to be good companions as they should not require your attention. However, each of these designs has failed to deliver its carrier a carefree attitude as the purse must be readjusted, set down, and supervised throughout the night.

Prado's Hystory. Bags

2007-05-27T13:40:00.000-07:00

As is known to any woman, the ideal bag - a thing absolutely necessary, however absolutely uncertain, in fact it should be fashionable (and thus not ostentatious) and at the same time not only to correspond to one of fashionable trends of a season but also to embody its individual style. Bags Prada have become famous owing to high quality and aristocratic elegance.

Many years they keep a honorary title of the best bags in the world. It not simply accessory, not simply bag in which it is possible to carry any lovely ladies' stuff. Bags Prada without exaggeration can be named a work of art.

These fine, marvelous creations - from the beginning and up to the end result of work of masters of company Prada Company, and only them. They conceive design, create sketches and gather the isolated slices of leather, a rivet and locks which in their skilful hands change in a masterpiece of design art. Prada by the right has reputation of one of the most prestigious holdings working in the fashionable industry, both in native Italy, and behind its limits. Name Prada serves as a synonym of style, elegance of practical luxury, and handbags Prada associate with image of lady from the society, drawing general attention grace and nobleness of manners.

Legend Prada was born in Italy in 1913 when Mario Prada was founded small manufacture on manufacturing products from leather. Company Prada initially was family business and referred to Fratelli Prada (brothers Prada). Soon the company has occupied not only manufacturing, but also design of products, and has started to release become subsequently well-known the leather suitcases, bags and accessories. Has passed very few time, and mark Prada was already popular far outside native Italy. Products with modest trade mark Prada were instantly bought up both in the Europe, and in America. Business prospered and gradually expanded, and in Milan two have opened small shops where sold original goods Prada - bags, footwear and suitcases.

Fashionable observers considered as the duty to mention all firm simplicity and refined taste Prada owing to what bags Prada have become famous all over the world and became a subject of dreams and desires of the richest and well-known women of a planet. Despite of promptly growing popularity, these smart bags have kept initial high quality and a unique combination of refinement, simplicity and the functionality, peculiar to original design.

Though bags Prada have kept fidelity of tradition, would be a mistake to believe, that they are not subject to a fashion. Originally bags made from extraordinary heavy skins. However soon designers have understood impracticality of this material (who will like to drag with itself heavy a bag?) also began to use is more often the high-quality processed leather for creation of bags and accessories. However on this they have not stopped. To one of first innovations Prada became drawing a waterproof covering on bags suitcases that has made their not only smart, but also practical.

Even today designers Prada are in constant search of new decisions and hi-tech materials which would allow to improve quality of their products even more. In design of bags Prada crystals, an armor of the turtle, valuable breeds of a tree and other unusual materials that speaks about readiness for experiments were used. Considering the highest quality of bags Prada, it is no wonder, that they have indefatigable success, and all over the world the unprecedented sums are ready to pay for them.

However, position of a leader in the world of a fashion which today occupies Prada, was gave to the Italian family not without efforts. Global crisis which has captured the fashionable industry in 1970, has touched and Prada. However by this time reins of government the company have passed to Miuccia Prada. The grand daughter of founder Prada has continued family tradition and has headed business in 1978. Since then the company experiences success behind success. Under her management Prada became one of symbols of the world haute couture and pret-a-porter.

However the unprecedented commercial success in the world of a fashion is invariable accompanied by occurrence of a parallel line of counterfeit production. Today cheap bags Prada can be purchased in streets of any large city of Italy and the world. Undoubtedly, it speaks desire to catch the high status for the low price. The situation becomes complicated what distinguish true bag Prada from counterfeit the skilled judge can only - in fact the simple and elegant trade mark of the company can make any handicraftsman more or less familiar with bases of design business.

Spring-Summer 2007. Bags

2007-05-26T12:13:00.000-07:00

Summer bags - is painful-sweet dream of each woman of fashion: like a trifle and so it would be desirable! The Program-maximum for them is simple and grandiose: to eclipse this summer of all, and during the subsequent seasons not covering by dust in old chest.
The first, that occurs - a bag from straw, more summer material simply does not exist! The choice - is huge, the prices - are accessible, and this bagatelle never gets out of fashion, however our review it, alas, will not pass - owing to the uncompromising accessory of a summer season.

What the following? Bags from the flax, experiencing last years a rebirth, fortunately, "are much more appeasable". Depending on the form and their coloring with pleasure it is possible to carry as summer (DKNY, Versace), and the year round (Juicy Couture, Etro). Do not pass this category: bags from flax while in a novelty and the originality they willingly will maintain your image of the stylish girl.

Certainly to "all-weather" it is possible to carry jeans bags. Look, what different they can be: between an elegant bag from Dior and «prudence» from Marc Jacobs the style precipice in which with ease other kinds of bags will be placed all runs!
Class difference and conclusive advantage of jeans bags - their youth frivolous nature. Therefore it is possible to consider as best of them not that are decorated by trade marks of the most known marks, and that cause a smile. If such nice copy will get to you - take it and be happy!

Summer bags are distinguished with the simple form and large sizes. For girls who live by a principle « all I carry with myself », there is a popular tribe shopping bags - bags of big, and sometimes even the huge sizes. If even slightly to increase capacity of bags of this type, they should be transferred in a category "case"! The form they remind shopping bags of times of our grandmothers a little, however look very much differently: is elegant, romantic and consequently especially summer variants, and is strict and elegant which will be useful also in the winter (Dior). It is possible to argue, that during cold seasons amount of things which you carry in a bag, increases why to not find for them wonderful storehouse right now!

Other type of bags on all seasons - a sac. In modern copies not always it is possible to make out features their clumsy, but reliable ancestors. However the impression, that before you a bag which is good for taking in road, is kept. The summer, a season of holidays, travel and new acquaintances - here what romantic associations causes a sac. Already for one it is to be purchased! And it is excellent, forward, to cash department! If you prefer more dark coloring, can carry it the year round and if you are pleased just with freshness and brightness of impractical summer prints - will get it from a case more close by the summer and each time to be pleased, as new.

Average or small bags articles of prime necessity for each of us, therefore it is possible to not doubt, that at you them already a little. Perhaps, it is necessary to get a special summer variant, more thoughtless or bright painting. I recommend to choose a bag of a horizontal format, as a rule, with two short handles. In the Europe them " baguettes " have nicknamed that, similarly to a popular French roll, they are convenient for carrying an armpit. By the summer there is a sense to choose something amusing, inexpensive, from nylon, flax or a cotton. More traditional leather "baguettes" can be carried the year round with what bright and light they were not: to them so it is possible so to become attached, that the house already simply you will not leave!

After several years when bags on long handles « a la 80th years » caused in the true women of fashion contemptuous «fua», these most convenient things again come back in a fashion. For the present it is a little first signs, but also among them it is already possible to choose a bag for all tastes: sports color and nylon (Etro), very elegant (Fendi), suede monophonic or brown color (Carlos Falchi, Paul Smith). The summer when all not seriously, the best time to be tried on to a novelty and to solve, it is pleasant to you or not.

Anyway, and bags - last stroke to our wardrobe, let it will be bright and cheerful, as summer!
