Written by fashion on July 8, 2009 – 10:07 am

Gucci is a very well-known name in handbag industry. They do   offer many other products like clothing, shoes, and other accessories. The standard of the product is unique, and can be discovered at outlets around the globe as well as on the web. A handbag can be found for virtually any occasion. They are  classy, well-built, and have survived the test of time.

Gucci came to be in the 1921 by Guccio Gucci in Italy. His first items of sale was leather baggage of varying sizes. In the 1930’s the equestrian style of decoration was very hot, and Guccio incorporated this into his products, which by this time had grown to incorporate bags, trunks, gloves, shoes, and belts. The 1940’s were difficult in Italy and the “Bamboo Bag” was introduced, and is still a popular bag today. The 1950’s saw the company grow, and stores were turning up all over Europe and the United States. In 1953 Guccio Gucci died and the business went to his four sons. The interlocking double ‘G’ logo was adopted in the mid 1960’s. Stores continued to open in new locations in this time, and the Gucci items were very hot for the celebs and rich. The 1970’s saw the company go to the Far East, and had now gone global. Over the next 20 years the company continued to flourish and was transformed to a fully public company. Today the company continues to supply favored purses, clothing, and accessories.

The style of the Gucci purse hasn’t modified much since its conception. They still incorporate the equestrian style into many of their bags and have not reduced the quality of craftsmanship. There are many styles to choose from, including the Tote bag, Shoulder bag, Hobos, Satchels, Clutches, Exotics, Evening, and a small Accessories bag. Each style has its own grace and class for each occasion. It is little wonder that Gucci has so many imitation handbags available to people who can’t afford the authentic products. Only the best and most well-liked are copied.

When the name Gucci is heard smooth style, quality, and expert handiwork is evoked. Each design is a work of creativity, and Gucci has traditionally and steadily exploited the best designers to form exciting and new purses. What started out as a small leather and baggage store opened by Guccio Gucci in 1921 has grown to be one of the most famous designers of purses and lots of other clothings and accessories.

Creative, Money-Saving Idea: Host Your Own Clothes Swap Party

Written by fashion on June 8, 2009 – 4:42 pm

Clothing-exchange parties certainly aren’t anything new, especially among us shopaholics. Everyone brings articles of clothing that they no longer wear to the party. The clothing is laid out for everyone to see and a system is usually established for who gets to have first pick. It’s a great way to get rid of your old clothes, score some new clothes for free, and have some fun all at the same time.

But this whole clothing-exchange party thing got me thinking. What happens if you and your friends don’t all wear the same size? After all, this isn’t a perfect world that we live in. And what if you and your friends have a severe handbag and/or accessory fetish? My idea is to host an Accessory-Exchange Party instead! Just think about it! You could save some money in these tough economic times and still satisfy your urge to acquire some new goodies! Here’s how it would work:

  1. The hostess in charge of the party sets up her living room like a designer boutique. She can arrange the furniture so that there is plenty of room to walk about. Her sofas, chairs, ottomans, coffee tables, or whatever can become “display cases”. Full-length mirrors are set up near each display. Finger foods and refreshments are available to promote mingling.
