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.

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

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

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.

Classical combination of a bag and footwear again in a fashion

This spring in a fashion all falls back into place - graceful bags should be in harmony with footwear. Thumb through any glossy magazine - and by all means will notice set of bright advertising of gods of a fashionable Olympus on which this tendency is shown. Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Chanel and even Jimmy Choo carefully select bags, handbags and huge trunks in tone to shoes.
<>, - vice-president and the manager on sales of a department of bags of New York department store Saks Fifth Avenue is assured Lincoln Moore.

Big, back and shiny fashion bags

Occurrence of fashionable "hit" frequently to foresee very difficultly. Brand Cloe has released instantly become popular bag Paddington, and designers have rushed to add to the handbags padlocks. In the last season the leather bag of the big size from Chanel became the true hit after it has got Kejt Moss, and all, starting from editors of fashionable magazines and finishing customers - have wanted precisely same bag. Thus accessories from Chanel have begun a new trend in bags: to a combination of the big size, a leather as the basic material and simplicity. In the further find Chanel was copied with brands Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tod ` s, Marni, Marc Jacobs and YSL.

Choosing travel bag

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.

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
• Padded laptop compartment with 6 pocket organizer
• External zip pocket
• 3x internal front pockets
• Adjustable main strap & shoulder pad
• Clip & Velcro release flap
• 15" and compact 17" laptops and A4/Letter-size documents & magazines, plus accessories. Works with the 15" PowerBook & MacBook Pro, and the 17" PowerBook & MacBook Pro.
• Converts to photo/video equipment bag with optional extra Bucket BU-02A insert.

Physical dimensions

• approx. 45x30x17cm / approx. 17x12x7"
• vol 16 litres
• Laptop Sleeve: 39x26x4cm / 15.4x10.2x1.6"

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
• 3x internal front pockets
• Adjustable main strap with Quick Flick (TM) buckle
• 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.

Physical Dimensions:

• 45x38.x15cm
• vol 14 litres
• Laptop Sleeve: 39x30x4cm / 15.4x11.8x1.6"

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

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."
