Designer bags are always considered precious accessories for women who really love fashion. This is why female celebrities usually endorse fashion bags because fashion producers know this is one of women’s weaknesses when it comes to accessorizing themselves. However, we may have noticed that Hollywood celebrities usually prefer to endorse fashion bags that are of elegant brands and they do not go for cheaper over the stall type of bags.
Fashion bags particularly branded and expensive bags are much like collection of jewelries for women and when women see gorgeous celebrities carrying branded bags in their commercials and shows, this particular endorsement can create a trend and awareness thus giving birth to other brands. Having a fashion bag that is within the limited edition collections is just like a dream come true for all women and owning a bag of high esteem gives women the social status, a sense of elegance with a richer personality.
Currently, there are 10 fashion bags brand completing the top list of bags collector’s dream. The first on the list is the brand Hermes Birkin which is named after the popular actress Jane Birkin. Hermes is a brand which is considered an icon to ultimate luxury and a piece of the item could cost around $6,000. Part of Hermes’ popularity came from its exposure with celebrities donning the famous television shows such as Sex and the City.
Trying to have an authentic Hermes bag even with the convenience of having the cash to buy it is not that easy. Buyers would have to order it and must wait for at least 2 years before the bag could be handed over. This is because only few craftsmen can be able to handle so many orders at the same time and these craftsmen are carefully chosen from among the world’s best bag makers.
The second most popular designer bag is Chanel. This brand has always been considered as one of the classics in the bag department. Chanel fashion bags were introduced by Coco Chanel in 1955 when she noticed that women cannot work efficiently while their things are lying around their workplace. Soon, she was designing bags that can help women be able to work and at the same time have their things along with them conveniently hence the birth of the shoulder bag. The third on the list is the brand Chloe Paddington which was only created on 2005 by designer Phoebe Philo. It is considered as one of the best of Boho chic bags because of its unique unstructured slouchy shape. This brand first became popular when Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, known bohemian lovers, started totting them around to complete their outfits.
The fourth most popular bag brand is Balenciaga. At present, the most popular collection of Balenciaga fashion house is their motorcycle inspired totes which are made with goat leather. The material used to create these bags gives these bags their known relaxed shape. Other popular collection of this brand is their “City” collections which made a stir in the fashion world when this item became popular among popular models such as Mary-Kate Olsen. The sixth on the top ten lists is Marc Jacobs’ bag. It is more popular particularly with their “Stam” collection named after the famous Canadian Supermodel Jessica Stam. This bag created a spark in the fashion industry because of its beautiful quilting and gold hardware that reminisces that of Chanel’s quilted bags. However, the “Stam” collection has a more relaxed look and a unique kiss-lock closure and gusseted frames.
The seventh bag is Fendi which is known to be the favorite of stars like Linda Evangelista and Hillary Duff. Eight on the list is YSL Muse which is considered as high-end bag because of its famous creator Yves Saint Laurent. They usually cost between $1,800-2,650. The last two are the very popular and elegant Prada and Louis Vuitton fashion bags. These two are considered classics because of their unique season collections. Prada is known for their latest Gauffre collection while Louis Vuitton is still making a trend among their classic monogram designs.
