Lift up Your Eyes – the Major Luxury Brands’ Classical Handbags

Posted by admin on October 14, 2010

Each successful luxury brands behind, there must be several classical products spreading to the world. Among a variety of luxuries, the branded handbags are particularly favoured by the female just like pets are loved ardently by them. The significance of a handbag is far beyond a piece of average clothing or an adornment. One will always make a prolonged use of a bag one fond of and a classic bag may turn into a family heirloom. Therefore, handbags will never lose their value in ladies’ personal consumption which seems to be the main factor that makes the major luxury brands’ classics popular. The Chanel 2.55, Cucci Jackie, Lady Dior, Hermes Kelly & Birkin, and LV Speedy that we know are classics universally acknowledged.

Women’ s sachets are not only decorations but also their habits during their lifetime. They won’ t feel safe till they take sachets with them. Currently it’ s a bit wrong to take a sachet as a container or even an adornment, for as time goes by it can represent a woman’ s identity and status most of the time.

Chanel 2.55

In people’ s hearts Chanel founded in 1910 is not only an elegant brand but also a new symbol of females’ confidence and independence. Its founder Coco Chanel realized the close relationship between the handbag and daily life long before. Therefore, she who acted as a trend follower designed the Chanel 2.55 which has always been an iconic work in the fashion world.

However, even the ladies who wear different Chanel 2.55 may don’ t know this set of figures as follows. The three – micron gilded bag requires six to fifteen makers involved in the manufacturing process. After 180 man – hours and production procedures, it can be completed. Up to now, a half of the products are black which is aimed at commemorating Coco’ s beautiful childhood in the Aubazine abbey.

Cucci Jackie

Undoubtedly, Jackie holds an important position in Cucci. The first one available in 1950 soon became the favourite of Jacqueline Onassis whose wearing different sets and types of Cucci Jackie swept the whole 1960s and was widely imitated by ladies then.

The inspiration of masses of the classical bags derives from the traditional saddles while Jackie is no exception. As to say its craftsmanship, it’ s strictly handmade even to a single needle or a piece of thread. And it will take at least seven hours to accomplish every new Jackie.

Lady Dior

When it comes to Lady Dior, I’ m convinced that it implies a symbol of elegance to everybody. Indeed, Lady Dior which was launched in 1995 for the first time did capture many a woman. But it was not until 1996 did it formally renamed Lady Dior with a view to saluting to the world’ s most beautiful princess consort – Diana Spencer.

Its fabrication implements the principles of apparel manufacturing, that is to say, its main parts and specifics are hand – made. Generally, after a number of processes on each pieces of leather, including filter, clipping, shaping, and making up, the rudiment of the handbag will unfold before our eyes. However, these are just a few of the total ninety-five processes.

Hermes Kelley & Birkin

Hermes Kelley has been popular for over half a century. It was named after Grace Kelley which was approved by the Monaco royal family.

What Kelley values most is the grip. If it’ s not perfect, the overall effect won’ t be perfect, either. Actually, every grip needs at least three man-hours.

Born in 1984, Birkin was named after Jean Birkin, a British pop singer who met with the CEO of Hermes on a plane in 1984. She complained that she couldn’ t find any well-made practical big bag, then the CEO designed the Birkin for her.

Hermes Birkin which bears a resemblance to Kelley will be easily confused by one. Similarly, Birkin also attaches more importance to the grip. And one with two grips must be Birkin. Currently, stylish Birkin is recognized in public, especially among the stars. Pop queen Faye Wong and fashionista Jolin Tsai, etc, are true and loyal fans of it.

LV Speedy

As to say the legendary handbag brand, a mark jumps out quickly from my brain. That’ s LV. Its products, especially the handbags for the female are world famous while the Speedy which has been salable for more than forty years is its representative. Express, the former name of Speedy, comes from the inspiration of the fast development of modern traffic as well as the rapid pace of life. In 1965, in order to meet Audrey Hepburn’ s needs, LV made the first Speedy. Since than, different sizes of Speedy have been launched to fulfil wearers’ different uses.

As was designed as a travelling bag originally, Speedy is of a obvious feature, that is to say, it can be folded at random. However, whatever Audrey wanted to do, she would always take it with her which made it outstanding among so many travelling bags. Women fall in love with Speedy, and they prefer Speedy of different sizes as their necessities of life.

It’ s clear that those classics above are successful and will be kept in mind by people from all over the world. In fact, these handbags, which can trace back to last century have stories in hide known worldwide, or else they won’ t have been popular ever since.
