What your designer bag says about you

[ssm]

According to Winifred Gallagher, author of "It's in the Bag. What Purses Reveal -- and Conceal." Not sure I agree with all these but it's kind of fun to look at.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

What your designer bag says about you

Marc Jacobs

"I'm cool."

Chanel

"I'm a lady."

Prada

"I'm a postmodern feminist."

Gucci

"I'm status-conscious."

Tod's

"I'm so cool and confident I can carry a no-name brand name bag."

Coach

"I'm an American traditional."

Balenciaga

"I'm a fashion insider."

Fendi

"I'm Eurochic."

Kate Spade

"I'm preppy with a twist."

Louis Vuitton

"I'm young, status-conscious and trendy."

Bottega Veneta

"I'm cool and confident. I don't need a status bag."

Hermes (Kelly or Birkin)

"I've got the holy grail."

That's great! But, what if you own/want to own several of those listed? Does that make you confused?

That's what I was thinking!

Maybe what that means is that on the day that you are carrying the bag, that's how you are perceived.

re: chanel - always thought that about the ones from the 50's and 60's - but now with all the different collections the line has some really great "trendy" pieces

[mnshopgirl32]

LOL - I can see where some of those come from.

How fun! Wish I had the Holy Grail, though!

Hmm. Since when is Tod's a "no-name" brand? Odd. But the Holy Grail comment made me laugh.

What she means is no logos, I think.

 

[lulilu]

I am a post-modern feminist -- lady -- who owns the holy grail. LOL

Right now I'm:
"An american traditional lady and a fashion-insider who's young, status-consicious and trendy with the Holy Grail!"
