The fashion accessory is a huge growth area, with handbags the prime purchase. It is forecast that in just 3 years, by 2010 handbag spending will be worth a billion dollars. Accessory designers are now as driven as fashion designers to produce lots of new styles that hit the seasonal mark.
Bag inflation means the consumer now has to spend around £800+ for a decent luxury handbag, compared to £500 just a couple of years ago. The value of any selection is also made worthless by the fickle nature of fashion. This development means a designer handbag may last just a season, if poorly selected, a bag can become outré in the space of a few months.
Picture Right - this lovely navy blue perforated leather butterfly designer handbag, is by Alexander McQueen. It is a reworking of the Novak signature bag by McQueen. A good designer can play with a signature style and make it new each season. This bag is available from Browns Fashion of South Molton Street, London, UK or their online site at £1,015. It is pretty, and special in its own right, which is always a good reason to make any selection. Image courtesy of Browns.
