Designer Handbags

I’m sure you’ve been taught about the early ancestors of the modern homo sapiens sapiens either in biology or later by watching the Discovery Channel. I’m sure also remember from Kubrick’s 2001 the 35 minute intro where the ape people eventually discovered the true functionality of large and heavy animal bones - to beat the others to pulp. There is a point that I am trying to make, so bear with me. You see, sometimes there is just that one bag that I can imagine awakens any female’s primal instincts, specifically the most basic of them all - gaining the edge over the next woman and showing her who’s the boss! Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor’s.? Screw the bitch, gimme my bag. Beat it for what it’s worth! Either way, my point is that I can see many of you ladies just going ape sh*t over the Gucci Logo Weave Shoulder Bag. Yes, this is the bag that makes you disregard potential jail time!

Expensive, shiny, bamboo, gold, Gucci. Held in tan, brown and gold, this Gucci shoulder bag features the classic Gucci logo-weave canvas with leather accents and magnetic snap closure. A large bamboo shaped ring adornes the front, leather detailing appears in front and back and the double handle, gold-toned bamboo shaped chains measure approximately 15½’’ in length. Dimensions: 13′’ wide x 8′’ tall x 1′’ base depth. Price: 2,239 dollar American. Where: BlueFly.com.

I can’t help but be a celeb style follower. I love to see what they are wearing and what is in style according to Hollywood. My Newlywed friend, who I hate to love, can’t get enough of the Large Gucci Horsebit Hobo. Jessica Simpson is the girl that many look up to for style (let’s hope not smarts) who is never seen wearing anything but the trendiest and best bags. Now she even is as privileged to be wearing a different color every other day. I know I don’t have that luxury, although I would love to, but I’m not making commercials about Pizza Hut’s Buffalo Chicken Pizza either (yea, like that takes a lot of brains?!) Back to the Gucci. Mrs. Newlywed herself has been seen sporting the Gucci Horsebit Hobo in Pink [pic] and also tabacco colored lambskin [pic] and black lambskin [pic].

The Large Horsebit Hobo is part of the Gucci Spring/Summer 2005 cruise line of handbags. On the website there is a variety of colors and fabric material offered, but the pink that Jessica has been sporting is no where to be found. The bag ranges from $980 to $25,000. Wait, wait… is that the right number of zeros? Umm yes. The Gucci Mahogany Crocodile Large Horsebit Hobo with light gold hardware can be yours for the price of a new car. The worst part is, there are actually real people who can afford that. Sigh. It is a large hobo style with horsebit detail strap and inside zip pocket. The large bag is about 18.8 x 4.8 x 15 inches, which is a pretty decent size, if you ask me. The black leather is about $1,290, which is still a hefty price to pay, but no where near $25,000.

For some reason babies bloom like the flowers in spring time, and again here come the newborns. If you are like all the other mommies, you want your baby at your side all the time (I know my mom did). Thanks to the wonderful designers at Gucci, your baby can not only be right on your back or tummy but also sitting there in style.

Gucci’s Summer/Spring line is carrying the ultimate Gucci baby carrier with adjustable shoulder straps. The carrier is recommended for baby 3 to 9 months or up to 20 lbs. If you were anything like me and my siblings, that does not equate to 3-9 months, more like 3-9 weeks (what can I say, we were well-fed happy children, all over 10 lbs!!) The dimensions are 16 x 7.1 x 18.5 inches. You can either chose the beige/ebony GG fabric with dark brown leather trim or the black GG fabric with black leather trim. The carrier is gonna cost ya around $730, but for the price and possession of your life, you shouldn’t buy less than the best!

Love her or hate her, she has enough money and enough fame to drive you mad. You know her very well, and when you see all of her outfits and especially bags, you can’t say anything other than, “That’s HOT!” Paris Hilton, heiress to the Hilton fortune, has been spending money like its her job before she was born. And as much as we all hate some of her fashion (and lack of intelligence), her handbags are always top of the line and always ГѓВјber expensive.

Many times Paris has been seen toteing around the Gucci Large Boston Bag. The bag has white leather with Blue/Red/Blue signature web and light gold hardware. The unmistakable Gucci logo is jumping out at you saying “You wish you had me this big on your bag too”. Unfortunately, this bag is hard to find right now. I see it only being offered on ebay. Gucci is selling the different but also Medium Boston Bag for Spring ‘05 in ostrich skin with leather trim. The bag includes an inside zip pocket and of course pigskin suede lining. The Large Boston Tote must really be large since this Medium Boston tote is measuring about 7 1/2″H x 16″W x 5″D. This bag runs around $3,900.00 which makes me think the hard to find Paris Hilton’s Large Boston Bag would make your eyes tear at the price tag.
