Today designer purse are all the rage and are desired by many women for their chic and stylish appearance. However, the cost of many of these purses can range from several hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars. Which has opened up the door for both designer inspired purses and counterfeit purses. In fact, there is an entire industry being built around both. Of course there are several major distinctions between the two industries.

Designer inspired purses are not fakes, they are simply designed around the hot trends being set by famous designer brands. These are commonly referred to as knock-off or replica purse. Whatever term you prefer, they come in some incredible styles and in many cases most people can’t tell the difference between a designer purse and a replica.

Of course there is the other side to this market. There are unscrupulous merchants who sell fake designer purses, without making it clear to the consumer that they are actually buying a purse that isn’t the genuine thing. This can be very upsetting to many women who for instance, thought they were buying a real Prada purse, when in fact it is a counterfeit one.

Purse designers have become very proactive at trying to stop these practices by filing lawsuits and creating websites to help consumers report any merchants who have sold them a fake purse. Not only do these fake purses cut into the profits of the designers, but the poor quality of the counterfeit purses reflects poorly on them as well, since many people can’t tell the difference.

Another way these designers are fighting back is by stitching their purses with authenticity codes inside each purse or including a certificate of authenticity with each purse. This helps to ensure to the consumer that the purse is in fact made by the designer and meets their high quality standards.

While the market for fake purses is booming both in North America and overseas, it will take a combined effort from both the designers and consumer. Once both parties have tired of being victimized, the backlash may help to significantly reduce the sale of counterfeit purses around the world.

Designer handbags and designer purses or wallets will always be an important part of women’s fashion, that’s a given, but to try and stop the secondary market of faux designer handbags and designer purses is a futile endeavor. It’s a market whereby one drives the other and the need for supply and demand is driven by the cost and desire.

Personally, I have a tendency to notice the color matching value of handbags or purses more so, than actually the real or faux value of what I see. If the handbag or purse compliments the ensemble, then that is the winning combination that the person wearing the grouping has achieved for me.

Do You Know Your Designer Handbag Trends of 2009?

177q951Funny how just a year ago, it was all about the tiny minuscule designer handbags that could barely fit your lipstick and your credit card.

The year 2009 ended our love affair with those impractical handbags and went a complete hundred and eighty degrees to the opposite side of the spectrum! Yes, this year heralded the dawn of the oversized bag. Laptop? Check. Work documents? Check. Make-up? Check. Cellphone and iPod? Check.

With all the things swimming in the hottest multi-compartment bags of the year, you’d wonder if they were designed for the modern-day Mary Poppins in mind.

Style and performance seems to be the anthem of this year. Fashionably irresistible? Yes. Dead-on practical, too. Black and white with shades of blues and reds thrown in between–2009 went for the classic look that was smart and trendy.

What was even interesting was how designers seem to have gone for the classic look with a slight upgrade. Totes now have top closures and hobos are not-so-slouchy anymore.

While many trend analysts expected this year to be more restrained and subdued because of the financial crisis, some designers went for the more stunning and colorful designs–even to the extent of exotic animal prints. Bold metallic colors also walked the runway.

However, as the year draws to a close, the flashy designer bags slowly waned in popularity as a more classic practical style took center stage.

Are you searching for a designer handbag? Or maybe a black leather purse of your own? Top of mind designer bags for the year 2009 would have to be Hermes Birkin, Louis Vuitton Speedy 35, and the Coco Chanel 2.55. With the first half of the year devoted to wild and bold colors that epitomized youthful exuberance and the second half of the year devoted to the classic and functional look that will never go out of style–2009 has been quite the roller coaster ride.
