DKNY Quilted-Leather Chain-Trim Bag

At this weekend, one of my best friends came to see me and we went shopping as every girl likes. After a few hours of window shopping, both of us surprisingly found that we merely chose the sweet colored dress or any items especially the pink version. We don’t know why, maybe the age reminds us that do not choose the young color to act young. But girls like pink, right? So if facing such kind of question, I will treat myself with the skin pink which is just perfect to show the elegance and femininity.

So this DKNY Quilted-Leather Chain-Trim Bag pleases me very much. It features a pink quilted leather bag with interesting double fold-over flap trimmed with silver chain. What’s more, the edge also trimmed with silver chain to add some sharp and bold feeling. And what is smartly designed is the zip-fastening pocket hidden in the lower fold-over flap. So nice!

With a detachable pink leather strap as well as a detachable silver chain strap, this chic DKNY bag can play the different styles with different straps. At the back of the bag, there is a designer-stamped charm tagged. Look into the inside, it has two open pockets and a zip-fastening pocket lined in black satin. The model in the picture is a good example showing how to match with it to display the neutral but still feminine beauty…

Earlier in this morning, when I was searching on the Internet to find some in things to lighten up my summer season, a chic huge bag leapt to my eyes. The tall and slim female model in the picture was wearing a large sized white batwing-sleeved blouse and black lace leggings, which is so fresh and causal the feeling brought to me. But the clothes is not the most attractive light, the huge sized transparent shopping tote is the finishing touch. According to the detailed pictures, I found there are some black English characters on the front and things held in the tote can be vaguely seen from the outside.
Wow, that’s it, that’s what I really want to see on the shopping tote, not canvas but PVC material. And good things come to those who wait. I happened to see a similar version of that ideal shopping tote in a fashion magazine. It’s called NEIGHBORHOOD DIPPY TOTE BAG.

With leather handles, the tote front has been printed with the brand logo, very remarkable and classic.

Versace is one of the most world famous luxury fashion brands, of which the design has a distinct style with unique beauty marked with avant-garde art. Just like the King, all the things from Versace are so magnificent and noble that show the classic and honourable status.
And earlier in this season, Versace Spring/Summer collection has proved it strongly. Although the atmosphere of the runway has fulfilled with the romantic and elegant soft purple color, Versace still had the methods to make all the models covered by a holy and inviolable nobleness. Perhaps in order to enhance this feeling, Versace designed this Nadege Suede Flap Bag in modena(dark purple) version to deepen the impression.
I have to say this flap bag is so perfect for the following seasons. Mixed with purple and some blue, the goatskin suede material offers a nice handle touch and texture. With logo-embossed buckles embellish the front flap, there is also the buckle attached on the shoulder strap. Under such sharp contrast, this chic item looks so edgy and modern, which is what Versace always wants to display.
With the dimension of 16 x 11 x 4, dual compartments with one extra zip pocket are involved interior. You can guess out this highly crafted gorgeous bag can’t be cheap. Yes, $2,350 on pre-order via Nordstrom.

With the improvement of environmental protection concern, more and more people have joined in protecting the environment. One important step is to use eco bags instead of the traditional plastic bags. According to the survey, the using life of plastic bags has decreased by two thirds and the consumers have been accustomed to bringing their own reusable bags when shopping. Adults and teenagers carry them around partly to bask in the memory of a shopping (splurging) occasion, partly because the “eco-bag” trend has run its course.

And for most people, they think the green bag is a kind of shopping bag , which is recycable, for it is easy to decompose under the natural conditions after final abandon and not bring polution to the environment. Thus many fashion brands have seen the business opportunity there and are trying the best to design the both fashionable and functional green bags. The famous luxury fashion brand Prada is no exception.

This series of eco bags named “B.Y.O. Bags”, which means bring your own bags, has successfully caught people’s attention. Firstly due to the wonderful theme, it leaves the public good impression. Secondly those colorful bags with strong summer breath, it’s really hard for them to be common and ordinary. Weighing in about 150 grams per each, they are all easy to carry. Crafted by the Prada’s traditional material and patterned with classic printing, each version of those bags has perfectly combined with the environmental protection concept and stylish character.
