When all other brands focus on their fall campaign, Hermes skipped fall and went strainght to icy snow winter when planning their fall/winter 2009 advertising campaign. In complete contrast to the beach setting of their spring ads, Hermes went to the snow-filled scenery of Sweden.

This Hermes bag campaign was shot with the dramatic backdrop of the Ice Hotel.  Brazilian model Raquel Zimmermann is carrying one of those pups in a crocodile So Kelly handbag. THe So Kelly is not quite the Hermes Kelly bag that we all know so well. It’s another gorgeous Hermes bag even though it looks nothing like Hermes Kelly bag.

Nothing is supposed to define you better than your sun sign. Whether you believe in astrology or not, you cannot deny the influence of planets on your personality – quirks, likes, dislikes and madness included. If you are a ‘Gucci girl’ looking for Gucci bags, here’s how to choose one that that goes with your zodiac sign.
 
Aries are known to be headstrong and born leaders. They are frank and the stark, straight-shaped Gucci patent leather tote with an inside zip pocket, five protective studs on the base and light gold hardware is ideal for them. At $200.00, the fabric lining plus zip-top closure make the bag a super buy for all Arians. Taureans who thrive on order and security in their lives should go for the ‘Signoria’ large, dark coffee tote leather Gucci handbags. These include horsebit ring buckle detail, inside zip pocket, double handles and inside zip pocket for $190.00
 
You can never tie down a Gemini so for them are the Black Python Gucci handbags at $218 each while for the nurturing, family oriented Cancerians are the extra-space ‘babouska’ Gucci bags.
 
The Leo, always fighting for the spotlight on him, must have the flashy Gucci handbags like the Gucci ‘royal’ large tote bag with fox fur trim. It comes for $208.00 with drawstring closure, interlocking G detail, and tassels with bamboo detail. The neatness-detail obsessed Virgo must pick the GG medium tote that comes with magnetic snap closure and double front flap pockets to keep everything organized. They cost $143.00.
 
Gucci handbags just right for the harmony and style-loving Librans are the GG tan suede leather handbags with separate cell phone slot, detachable shoulder straps, engraved Gucci script logo, tassels with bamboo detail, metal plates and studs. These come for about $238.00. The mystery-religion loving Scorpio would love the GG New Jackie Hobo Genuine Python Skin Red Gucci bags with single shoulder strap, removable messenger strap, push lock D-ring closure, gold tone hardware and inside zip pockets for $650.00.
 
The playful, risk-taking Sagittarius can go wild choosing Gucci handbags. Best for them is the charming ‘pop bamboo’ large top handle bag with single bamboo handle, detachable shoulder and separate pocket for pda and cell phone. It costs just about $200.00. But if you see any of those women carrying a Gucci continental wallet with tab snap closure, be sure she’s a Capricorn who wants to go unnoticed! These wallets come with metal Gucci crest detail, card slots, bill compartments and coin pocket for $99.00.
 
The patient Aquarian who is always interested in doing a lot of work for a lot of people will usually end up carrying a Gucci Indy large top handle leather bag with detachable shoulder strap. These Gucci bags cost about $280.00 at discount sales. They have ample space to keep an assortment of items – one for each one on the Aquarian’s large friends’ list!
 
The dreamy, colorful-life loving Pisceans are sure to plump for the Gucci handbags with embroidery in the ‘Hysteria’ range with medium top handle bag along with double side handles, detachable shoulder strap, magnetic strap closure and metal Gucci crest detail. These Gucci bags come for $299.00. Go ahead then, make a zodiac statement with your Gucci!

Mulberry sales rise in summer July 6, 2009

While tons of luxury brands are continuing to see drops in sales and having to make cutbacks in production, other labels are making attempts to stay afloat during the current fashion financial pickle. Some are even seeing the fruits of their labor with a rise in sales despite shoppers tightening their belts. Mulberry is one of those companies that has seen a bit of increase in early summer sales. Not only has their discount factory outlet sales gone up by an impressive 45% since last year, but their regular-priced stores have also increased by 11%. Those are the kind of numbers that many other luxury brands would love to be reporting right now. One of the things that Mulberry says attributed to the new numbers is their new Mitzy collection of handbags. This line of Mulberry handbags is considered budget-friendly (however relative that term might be) when it comes to luxury labels. Instead of buying an ostrich leather Bayswater bag for over $3,000, you can opt for the mid-sized Mitzy messenger in pebbled leather for only $495. That’s a fairly significant range in pricing. Godfrey Davis, chairman and chief executive of Mulberry, said: “Mulberry with its authentic and understated designs is striking a chord, not just in the UK, but also worldwide, because over-the-top extravagant consumption just isn’t in favour right now.” Of course, don’t think that Mulberry will forget its luxury roots altogether. You can also purchase the Mitzy in ostrich for $3,150. At least they’ve got some variety to Mulberry bags pricing!

This Hermes Birkin won the title of Forbes’ Most Extravagant Handbag. The Hermes Birkin in Croc Porosus Lisse is no boring standard issue 35cm Birkin, but made on special order only. The limited bag is set with over 10 carats of shiny diamonds, and with a price tag of nearly $150,000. I am quite confident that the number of orders on this beauty are quite limited as well.

2005 Hermes Birkin JPG 42cm in blue togo leahter

Hermes’ designer Jean Paul Gaultier redesigned the infamous Hermes Birkin bag for spring/summer ‘05. This is no small innovation, given that the original is in such demand that there is a wait to get on the waiting list. But JPG’s changes work — now you can actually get the bag over your shoulder.  The logic step to an already successful Hermes bag was to adding a shoulder design and appeal to a wider audience. Among the large variety of Hermes handbags that we’ve seen, this shoulder Birkin sure is in contention for the throne. Since Jean Paul’s line had been intro’ed, US sales for Hermes went through the roof.

 

LV Core Values Campaign June 18, 2009

I love Louis Vuttion bags and their new Core Values Campaign. Louis Vuitton Core Values icons Say farewell to the Coppolas and hello to three new exceptional figures. Louis Vuitton commemorates the 40th anniversary of man’s conquest of the Moon and features Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, and Sally Ride as their Core Values icons. The photograph by Annie Leibovitz is not only amazing but captivating, showing three individuals who have accomplished a similar feat which seemed unimaginable. Louis Vuitton has found a way to inspire with this Core Values Campaign and continues to reach above and beyond.

Buzz Aldrin, who in the course of the historic Apollo 11 mission with Neil Armstrong on 20th and 21st July 1969, became the second man to set foot upon the Moon; Jim Lovell, the commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission in 1970, who −as the world watched with bated breath − heroically guided his crew back to the safety of Earth; and Sally Ride, who in 1983 became the first American woman to venture into space as a crew member on Space Shuttle Challenger.

The new visual, photographed once more by Annie Leibovitz, was shot on the high plateaux of the Californian desert, from where, on a clear night, the Moon takes on an almost supernatural intensity. The three astronauts are portrayed quietly surveying the sky from the battered pickup truck in which they have undertaken this journey together, each no doubt reliving an extraordinary memory. Beside them on the truck is Louis Vuitton’s Icare travel bag in Monogram canvas, an allusion to the mythological hero who also dreamed of flight. The tag line, in an echo of Neil Armstrong’s famous words in 1969, states: “Some journeys change mankind forever”.

Louis Vuitton, one of the oldest fashion houses and most name-recognizable brands in the world, supplies its signature monogram Canvas and leather handbags to cater to its hungry customers every season. Louis Vuitton handbag is absolutely a status symbol and must-have to enhance your sense of style.

 

PETA react on hermes crocodile farms June 15, 2009

We knew Hermes’ Australian crocodile farms were bound to anger PETA, so it’s no surprise to hear the animal rights group has hit back.

“The thought of purposely breeding and killing crocodiles for an outdated, overpriced handbag should make any fashionista’s skin crawl,” the group said in a statement. “If Hermes really wants to be a leader in the fashion industry, it should stop killing animals for cold-blooded vanity and use cruelty-free mock croc and fake snake instead.”

I’m sure all animal lovers would agree with PETA’s sentiments, but Hermes continues to defy the financial crisis, maintaining its net worth despite the economic downturn. It might not be politically correct anymore, but fashionistas still can’t get enough crocodile Birkins. With the prized Hermes bags costing up to $50, 000, it’s no wonder Hermes is reluctant to can the croc bags! No one’s likely to pay the big bucks for faux reptile skin Hermes handbag after all!
