paul smith uk The Biggest Trends of Fall 2012 Black Handbags - PurseBlog

Today might feel like a typical Monday (or it might feel a little atypical because of your brown liquor hangover from the Mad Men premiere, yeah, I know what you were doing last night), but around these parts, today kicks off our Fall 2012 Trends Week. That’s right, each day we’ paul smith uk;re going to highlight a people accessories look from the Fall 2012 runways, tell you which bags you should be anticipating and show you where you can shop the trend right now, if you’re the impatient type.

Because I also spent last night with Don Draper and Peggy Olson (our recap will be up in a little while paul smith uk!), we’re starting with the biggest, clearest trend from what seemed like virtually every major accessories runway: The Not-So-Basic Black Bag. If you’ paul smith uk;re a neutral-lover and the past year or two of color on top of color has become a bit monotonous, Fall 2012 is a season you’re going to love. These bags are anything but business as usual, though; for fall, black is textured and embellished, fur-covered and embroidered.

Look forward to Fall 2012…Shop the trend now…

paul smith wallets Would you like a cocktail with your handbag - PurseBlog

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Or, in the case of luxury retailers, they plan cocktail parties.

As it turns out, the that we told you about a few days ago is not an isolated incident; instead, it’s a high-profile part of a larger trend. With fewer people able to afford their products, and some of those that can balking at the idea of conspicuous consumption, stores are having to do more to attract customers than they ever have in past memory.

The most obvious way to increase purchases would be to cut prices, but when a huge part of a brand’s image is their prohibitive price points and exclusive reputation, doing things that a big-box retailer like Best Buy would do to to attract customers isn’t what’s on their mind. Keeping the brand’s mystique intact is essential in order for them to keep doing business when the economy picks back up, and destroying the brand’s image of exclusivity now would probably be the luxury retail equivalent of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. In order to survive long-term, stores like need you to be willing to still pay full price when things are back to normal and we’ paul smith wallets;re not all afraid of losing our jobs.

So instead of blowout sales, some designers have opted instead to try a few gimmicks (let’s face it, that’s what they are, even if they’re fabulous, champagne-drenched gimmicks) to increase foot traffic in their stores. You’ve seen some evidence of the brands’ tactics on this site – trunk shows, designers visiting boutiques, cocktail parties, and charity events – and it seems to be an area to which more and more labels are shifting their marketing dollars. Hermes is sponsoring a tour of Hermes photography through its Chinese stores in addition to opening its first temporary store for vacationers, Jimmy Choo has partnered with various high-profile charities to host events (and encourage orders from donors), and YSL has already tried opening temporary stores for special collections.

And I guess whether or not all of this sounds good to you depends on what your relationship with luxury goods is. I’m not a huge fan of any particular brand over all others, so having cocktails at a boutique would probably only appeal to me for its open bar possibilities. I’d love the opportunity to meet pretty much any high profile designer, but mostly I think I’d shy away from these things paul smith wash bag. I liked working retail in college and I like blogging now because I’m one of those people that only wants to go shopping when no one else is present. I can’t tell you the last time I set foot in a mall on a weekend, but I’m all about some Tuesday morning browsing.

I’m not as antisocial as I sound, I promise, but I just don’t see shopping as a social opportunity or a lifestyle choice. Maybe if I had copious amounts of disposable income my attitude would be different, but I still kind of doubt the long-term ability for in-store events to create new revenue opportunities. It’s not like the high-rolling customers that are going to be invited to these events have never been to a wine-and-cheese party before, or a charity event, for that matter. Their novelty is bound to wear off eventually, but maybe by the time it does, the economy will have corrected a little bit and we can just go back to buying stuff we want just because we’d like to have it and it can afford it. Although I wouldn’ paul smith holdall bags;t be opposed to making cocktails a permanent fixture of the shopping experience.

paul smith wash bag Linea Pelle Janis Fringe Tote - PurseBlog

I’ve resisted the fringe trend for quite a while now. I’ve posted a few examples of fringe bags that I like on over the past few months, but I wasn’t ready to come out and love the trend as a whole. I thought it was messy. I thought it was floppy. I thought it was a little too hippie-dippy for my personal taste paul smith wash bag. But then I saw and my mind changed. Pretty much instantly.

And since then paul smith holdall, I’ve decided that the fringe bag I’m mostly likely to invest in is the Linea Pelle Janis Fringe Tote. Unlike the rest of the Purse Blog crew, I’ paul smith wallets;m not lucky enough to already have a fab bag, but from what they’ve said, I know the leather on this one is going to be soft and wonderful and the bag will most likely be one I’ll find myself reaching for again and again. I think I like this bag above all other fringe bags because it’s so well-edited and comparatively understated. The fringe isn’t hanging from every last surface, it’s concentrated in the corners and a bit less cowgirl than carrying something covered in hanging bits of leather. Yes, ladies, I think this is the one for me.

paul smith holdall Salvatore Ferragamo Edda Chain Shoulder Bag - PurseBlog

We’ve seen a lot of the small crossbody trend in the mid-price bags that we feature on , but higher-priced designers haven’t seemed as eager to latch on to the fad. At first I was a little confused as to why, but I think it makes sense – the shape and size of those bags tend to skew younger, and younger buyers tend to both spend less money and be more open-minded to new names in the design world. It’s natural that brands that cater to a slightly older demographic would be a bit slower to adopt youth-based trends, so I’ paul smith holdall;ve been waiting to see which of the designers would be the first to successfully create a mature version of these bags.

And my vote for the winner goes to the Salvatore Ferragamo Edda Chain Shoulder Bag. The first way that they keep this bag from looking too trendy is using the ultra-luxe chocolate brown python skin with little else in the way of exterior decoration. The skin is genuinely beautiful on it’s own paul smith wash bag, and realizing that it doesn’t need anything to help it along is the mark of an experienced designer. The second thing I like is the gathering of thin, delicate chains that form the bag’s strap. Instead of being chunky and attention-getting, they’ paul smith wallets;re sophisticated and understated, which gives a polished finish to the design’ overall feel. I’d call this bag nothing less than a success. Buy through .
