I often hear from my clients and subscribers that a bag and shoes cannot be cheap.

Maybe this will look a little strange, especially in an article with such a title, but I can’t say that I agree with this statement 100%.

So first I'll explain my point of view :-)

I am sure that the cost of clothes and accessories is a secondary matter. The most important thing is not how much things COST, but what value they LOOK like.

If you start discussing the issue in this vein, you can remember many successful purchases that looked more expensive than they cost, right, girls? :-)

Why does this happen?

A thing LOOKS EXPENSIVE when it:

• made with high quality
• is modern, relevant in terms of cut and style
• suits you
• goes harmoniously and stylishly with other things you are wearing at that moment

And I am convinced that following this LOGIC, we can also conclude that not every expensive thing looks EXPENSIVE. Every day I see dozens of expensive things that look CHEAP because:

• out of fashion
• do not suit their owner
• do not match with other clothes and accessories in the look

Is it a mandatory rule to buy expensive bags?

My logic is this: the bag should be in your budget, it should be affordable for you.

It's stupid to go hungry because of a handbag. It’s easier to find “your girlfriend” in a suitable price segment, live and be happy.

Although, during my student years, I regularly sacrificed lunch, subsisting on inexpensive goodies, in order to buy myself something new and fashionable. But, having matured, I became convinced that gastritis and excess weight are not worth such new things:-(

Let's go from one more angle and consider the issue of expensive bags in terms of status.

Expensive accessories from famous brands are designed to silently tell who is who in the modern world. First of all, in the business world.

The clothes don't say how much they cost. The manufacturer's brand is not signed on the outside of the clothing. And even if it is written, it does not help things look more expensive. Remember the Cavalli jerseys and all the jokes associated with those who proudly wore this inscription on the chest.

Brand names are stamped on accessories in all cases and this is the norm. That's how it is. On watches and bags we will see the manufacturer's logo or abbreviation. There are also unspoken markings on shoes; let’s remember the red soles of the maestro Louboutin.

Anyone who is “in the know” instantly sees “their people” precisely by accessories.

Therefore, if you need to enter a certain company of people, get a position or you have already received it and communicate in your line of work with high-ranking clients and partners, you need to be “YOUR OWN”, you need to BROADCAST success, ambitions, status and achievements not only with your own words. But also silently, through your clothes and accessories.

If men compare themselves with watches and cars, then girls compare them with jewelry, bags and shoes.

And this is the very case when, when making an expensive purchase, it is very important not to miss the choice! After all, we have already discussed that, despite the high price tag, an EXPENSIVE accessory can look CHEAP if it:

• not in trend
• does not suit the owner
• does not match other clothes and accessories

Let's be honest - everything flows and everything changes, the trends of the times affect everything, including bags.

Therefore, when laying out an amount with many zeros, many of my Clients want to be sure that this purchase will be successful and not a one-time purchase. And the bag will last for many years, remaining relevant and presentable.

The right investment in your wardrobe

Today I want to introduce you to such bags, the purchase of which can safely be called not a SPENDING, but an INVESTMENT.

You know I'm a bags-maniac! I collect bags and know a lot about them. My clients buy new items only after a follow-up call to me, and my subscribers Instagram I learned a long time ago that you can safely buy expensive bags following my footsteps, because I don’t miss a beat in choosing.

Several years ago, I took part in an all-Russian state project of the Ministry of Finance and wrote several chapters for a book about women’s financial health. Of course, I wrote about investing in your wardrobe!

Two of the many authors of the encyclopedia spoke at the book launch: myself and a financial management specialist.

He talked about how and where to invest money so that it works for you. And then he skeptically invited me onto the stage, wondering how such a thing as an “investment in a wardrobe” could exist, because this, a priori, is empty spending on rags that cannot then be resold to earn more than they cost, or at least return the original cost.

Of course, this is partly true. But by investing in a wardrobe I mean purchasing things that:

• suit you
• do you like
• combine with each other
• remain relevant for a long time so that they can be worn for years
• made or sewn well
• help you make the right impression on others
• increase your self-confidence and attractiveness

So you can invest wisely in your wardrobe in ANY PRICE SEGMENT: from mass market to premium.

And the price of a mistake is always expensive within any budget, because it’s always a shame to unsuccessfully spend the money you’ve earned with your hard work.

I talk about the important rules and principles of smart shopping in an online lesson about profitable purchases.

And now I will tell you about my favorite brands and luxury bags :-)

Review of branded bags

Bags CELINE Trapeze, Phantom, Luggage, Belt, Box, Tie Tote

What is not a bag is an icon!

This brand has been my favorite for over 10 years and I suspect it will be for life! Fendi takes second place in my heart, but more on that later.

Why Celine? Because this is the right and stylish base. The shape of the bags is clear, graphic, successful colorblock solutions, lack of details that will go out of fashion or become obsolete.

I know few girls who use their wardrobe easily and naturally.

And those who use it, in most cases, end up in the past :-))))

Celine bags will brighten up your wardrobe in an instant, add style and completeness to every look, and create a luxurious and status total look from the simplest things, as if by magic.

Exquisite combinations of colors and textures, coupled with the impeccable shape of the bag - the formula for success not only for Celine, but also for your wardrobe!

Bags FENDI PEEKABOO, 2JOURS, 3JOURS

True icons, time-tested!

Please note that not all Peekaboos are equally useful :)

What am I talking about?

There are two motives when buying an expensive bag.

In most cases, it is important for me and my clients that an expensive bag does not go out of fashion in a couple of months.

But there are also a minority of cases when this point is not important. Because the bag is impossibly good, because it is a fashion hit, because I fell in love and “I want it, I can’t” it, because I collect it and this bag will in any case leave a bright mark on the history of the brand and will be a memory and rarity in my wardrobe.

For all eternity we take the basic Peekaboo.

This year you can indulge in floral options or bags with plastic decor, laces or leather ruffles.

You can pamper yourself “on a budget” by attaching a belt, which is fashionable this season, to the basic Peekaboo, which is purchased separately. Or baby Peekaboo. Or a funny keychain!

Another Fendi bag that can be a solid investment is the 2jours and 3jours.

Bags HERMES BIRKIN, KELLY

And here you can wipe the nose of that same financial management expert. Literally the only bags in the world, the purchase of which has every right to be considered an investment.

Kelly and Birkin are a real DREAM for many girls.

There are a lot of legends created around Hermes bags, they say, you have to stand in line for half your life, sign up for waiting lists, mere mortals can’t carry them in boutiques, etc.

Blah blah, in a way. Keep your ears open!

When buying dream bags for my Clients, I explain to them that it is not always possible to start your shopping history at Hermes with the purchase of a legendary bag. Purchase history required. You need to become a Client of this house and then communication will go like clockwork. A couple of scarves, flip-flops, a belt or bracelet and the consultants become much more accommodating and are already bringing your Kelly or Birkin from behind the scenes. Oh, I found it!

And in some countries, love foreplay is not necessary. In Munich, I bought my Client a Birkin straight from the window. True, in black. In Cannes, my Client adopted sapphire Kelly in one fell swoop.

And another case happened to one of my Clients. She didn’t like that she had to try sooooo hard for the bag, she felt slighted and humiliated, she left Hermes, literally slamming the door, crossed the road and bought herself a couple of multi-colored Peekaboos and several pairs of bomb Fendi sandals! Almost for the price of one Kelly. And she never sets foot in Hermes again! :)))

Returning to the conversation about investments, I will give a justification for the profitability of these bags. The price of Hermès icon bags is steadily rising. Sometimes they become more expensive several times throughout the year. And so every year. Luxury should be available to a select few. By the way, guided by the same principle, the Chanel fashion house regularly raises prices for its creations.

So, the price is rising, those who bought Kelly 3 years ago can easily sell it in perfect condition for almost the price of this year's boutique. That is, more expensive than we bought it for!

There is a real hunt for these bags; vintage versions are sometimes more expensive than modern ones.

And, of course, the myths and legends around these bags led to the creation of a kind of black market. Buyers with a history of purchases at Hermes can receive a bag in any color, and then, having received tax free, sell it with a percentage for their services to a Client who could not buy it himself for various reasons. Profitable business! Therefore, recently the number of bags sold per person has become strictly limited. Hermes is struggling with resellers and also suffers from the sale of fakes.

I can’t count Evelyne among the immortal bags, its shape is too sluggish, it’s beautiful in a jockey style, tolerable in casual wear and unsuitable in a business wardrobe.

And Birkin and Kelly are appropriate everywhere.

If you can’t buy a legend, take a closer look at its budget version - Herbag, I’ve been looking at it for a long time and soon it will become mine :-) At least when the children stain it with markers or ice cream, I won’t cry and calmly wash the cover :-)

Bags LOUIS VUITTON NEVERFULL, POCHETTE METIS, FAVORITE MM, POCHETTE FÉLICIE

Round and round bags of this brand, such as Speedy and Alma, have sunk into oblivion because they know how to make "woman's style".

This, by the way, is one of the reasons for my dislike for Miss Sicily from Dolce&Gabbana, there is too much “woman” in it, which, if used ineptly, turns into an aunty.

But the shopper Neverfull and crossbody Métis, Felicie and Favorite will be alive and well! And they will live with us happily ever after for many years.

These bags do not change shape, but change colors according to current trends. If you need a bag that will last for many years without the risk of suddenly falling out of fashion, choose a checkerboard or one color.

Ready to get pampered? Let's take the painted one this season!

GUCCI

The style of the fashion house has changed rapidly in the last couple of years. With the arrival of the incredible Alessandro Michele as creative director, the decades-old patina of jockey style from the days of Geoffrey Beane and the aggressive sexuality cultivated by the restless Tom Ford were replaced by a new fashionable turn, inspired by flower children, boho flair and the touring circus.

And all this is as magnificent and impressive as it is fleeting :-)

Again, it's up to you to decide. If this era is to leave a mark on your closets, don't skimp! These bags have already gone down in history and created a sensation.

If investments must be long-term, away with stripes and ribbons, pay attention to basic bags.

For example, I never decided on a bag with embroidery, but my hand did not waver, handing over my hard-earned money for this baby. We are together forever.

This year it is at the height of fashion, thanks to the colors. And in the next one, it will simply remain the perfect basic bag in my wardrobe for many years to come.

Here are some more bags that do the same!

CHANEL 2.55, WOC

People always ask me why I haven't been seen with Chanel bags?

At some point, when I was close to buying 2.55, Instagram girls from all over the world and the entire Moscow metro decided to complement their looks with this particular bag.

Since then there has been sediment and calloused eyes. This is my personal, personal, type of psychological trauma for the stylist :-))))

But if you want a quilted beauty, don't stop yourself! It seems to me that I will definitely buy woc. Just a little later.

Of course, such bags do not have an expiration date.

Which Chanel bags have it? These ones. With a clear imprint of current trends in bag design.

VALENTINO ROCKSTUD

Do you know how I am writing this article now? I'm flying on a plane and writing! All my best articles were written in the air, all my best decisions were made at an altitude of 10,000m :-)

By the way, talk about successful decisions! If you remember what maestro Valentino was famous for, you will realize how much the style of the fashion house has changed over the past few years.

Ruffles, frills, luscious femininity - all this brought Valentino to the brink of bankruptcy. They have become unfashionable! They were unable to attract a younger clientele, they became uninteresting to millennials.

Fortunately, ruffles have been replaced with spikes, and feminine dresses with romance and boho. And the House began to breathe again.

The rescue of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves. After the rescue, they had one more Client, and Valentino bags appeared in my wardrobe.

I walked past the boho.

But I decided to invest in Rockstud, these bags are practically a modern base.

CHLOE DREW

I can talk about bags endlessly, but the article is simply huge, so I’ll tell you about one more brand and then I’ll finish teaching professional secrets :)

One of the most feminine and romantic brands gave us the iconic Drew bag.

To be honest, Chloe bags have never dominated the fashion scene before. Neither Marcie nor Mily fell in love with the girls as much as little Drew.

In its simplest version, without tassels or rivets, the bag can be worn not only with boho-style clothes, but also as a basic one.

This season Chloe broke the hearts of fashionistas all over the world by giving us Nile and Faye!

Yes, it's fashion. Yes, it may not be for long. But these bags simply must end up in the wardrobes of true fashionistas and luxury bag collectors.

In my shopping list, opposite this column there is already a “completed” checkbox :)

Well, my dear bag maniacs, have you screwed it up? Have you made a shopping list?

If you want to learn how to INVEST in a wardrobe, and not SPEND money on clothes that then lie in a heap in the closet, be sure to come to study at the ONLINE SCHOOL for the Basic course, and at the same time watch the lesson about handbags, because in it I will teach you how to choose the perfect bags, which will serve you faithfully for years :-) A real revolution will happen in your head :) And not only in your head, but also in your wardrobe!

The most important thing is that after training you will SEE these things in the stores of your choice and create your ideal wardrobe!

I wish you only successful shopping :)

What a modern woman cannot refuse is buying a new handbag. It could be a bag to go with a new coat, boots, gloves, or just a new thing that you liked in the store. It can be a bag for specific purposes - for shopping, leisure, work and travel, for everyday use or special occasions.

For most women, the ideal bag is one that combines functionality and beauty, fits within a budget, and keeps up with fashion trends. This article will discuss how to choose the right bag and how to navigate the variety of sizes, shapes and colors. The best manufacturers of women's bags in 2020, the advantages and disadvantages of the product they produce, according to buyers, will be presented.

A bag, as a container for carrying objects, appeared long before the development of human civilization. The first bags were made from animal skins or woven from plant branches, attached to a stick, which was placed on a person’s shoulder, thus facilitating the transportation of cargo. The earliest archaeological find dates back to 2500 BC and is a leather bag hung with dog teeth. Apparently even then the handbag had not only a functional, but also an aesthetic purpose.

From the fifth century AD, bags began to be attached to the belt, and from the 9th century, hanging coin holders appeared.

And only in the 14th century there was a division into men's and women's bags, in which many small things and money could be carried.

What types of modern women's bags are there?

Today, a woman's bag has not only practical significance. This is a fashion accessory that emphasizes the style and, often, presentability of a woman’s image.

There are many types of bags that differ in shape, color, material and texture, and purpose for use.

The materials most often used are natural and eco-leather. A special designer model can be made from unusual materials - fur, fabric, straw and even wood.

The way to carry a bag can be very different - on the belt, on the shoulder, over the shoulder and on the arm, on the back.

Mistakes when choosing a much-needed and, often, expensive attribute lead to loss of money and a spoiled image. To choose the right bag and not be disappointed, you need to learn how to navigate the types of bags and use them for their intended purpose.

• Classic bag (business)

Usually it combines many different models, the common feature of which is the correct shape, a rigid frame, and a size that allows it to accommodate an A4 sheet. Typically, such a bag has a pure color, high-quality tailoring, and no decorations. Handles are short or medium length. This bag is comfortable to carry in your hand. Suitable for classic and business style clothing.

• Satchel bag

The ancestor of such a handbag was a travel suitcase, widespread in the 19th and 20th centuries. This is a molded bag that can be designed in both a classic style and a vintage style with a unique design. Its functionality is extensive! A bag of this model is suitable for both going to work and traveling. It is roomy and original. In addition to the traditional short ring handles, the set may include a long strap, allowing you to carry this bag on your shoulder. A distinctive feature is that it is necessarily equipped with a locking locking mechanism.

• Bucket bag

An absolutely shapeless thing, soft, comfortable, ideally complements a romantic image and does not suit the classics at all. It can be made from any suitable material - leather, fabric, leatherette or knitted jersey. The sizes can be very different, the choice will depend on the purpose of the accessory. Most often used for everyday wear.

• Tote bag

It differs from the classic version of bags in its greater capacity and laconic form. Previously, it was a rectangular handbag, not fastened at the top, with one compartment. Today they can be square, rectangular, polygonal and have a clasp. The popularity of the models is due to their capacity combined with simplicity. Perfectly complements the widespread casual and business style. If the material used is something simpler than genuine leather, then such a thing is perfect for a trip out of town. Can be used both as a beach bag and as a shopping bag.

• Bag backpack

Every person knows what a backpack is. This is an excellent container for things of different sizes and purposes. Located on the back, it frees up the hands and prevents curvature of the spine. Previously, backpacks were worn only by tourists and climbers, as well as schoolchildren who had a backpack at their disposal. Today it is a stylish and convenient accessory for a mobile person. The best backpack to buy will depend on your intended use. The main purpose of such a bag is to carry things. If the walking backpacks are small in size, then for studying you will need a larger size. The criteria for choosing such a bag include: practicality, durability and originality.

• Bag-tablet

The invention of the early 20th century was used by those people who worked with documents. Often such a bag can be seen in military newsreels. The rigid shape made it possible to protect documents from deformation, and the long handle was conveniently thrown over the shoulder, freeing up the hands and not interfering with movement. Today it is a stylish element of a woman’s image. It is made from various materials, but most often the assortment is represented by models made of natural hard leather. Suitable for everyday use.

• Messenger bag

As a rule, this is a large bag with many compartments for storing things - papers, phone, laptop, books and clothes. The system of straps and handles allows you to comfortably place the bag on your shoulder. These bags do a great job of carrying things. The optimal combination of cost and quality makes it the most common model of bags among residents of big cities.

• String bag

This bag appeared in the Czech Republic quite by accident as a result of the wonderful modernization of a hair net into a shopping bag. It did not take root there, but became widespread in the USSR. In its original form it was a mesh woven from strong threads. Withstands a load of 70 kg. Today it is back - environmentally friendly, lightweight, inexpensive and extremely trendy.

• Crossbody bag

This is a small rectangular shoulder bag. It is impossible to put large things in it, but it is perfect for many small items and documents. The famous Chanel bag is made in this model. The selection of crossbody bags on the market is varied. These can be models with original colors, decorated with fringe and sewn from any material, as well as classic options. Suitable for any style of clothing.

• Clutch bag

Pouch and reticule - small handbags from the past have become prototypes of the modern clutch. Until recently, such bags were used only for special occasions - a theater, an occasion or a celebration. Today there are models that allow their use in everyday wear. Clutches are made from a variety of materials and decorated in any way, including the use of precious stones. Typically, a clutch does not have a handle, which makes it look like a wallet. Modern casual models can be equipped with a long belt. The main thing is small handbags.

Types of clutches:

• The envelope clutch is shaped like a postal envelope. They can be large, which makes it possible to use them in office and casual styles;
• A clutch box is a hard small bag with a clasp that can be of different shapes, both classic rectangular and fancy.

Any clutch does not suit a sporty style. It cannot be stuffed with a lot of things; there are other types of bags for this.

Among the huge variety of types of bags offered, it is difficult to make the right choice. However, there are recommendations to help avoid mistakes.

It is impossible to have one bag for all occasions. There are universal models that will suit most looks and purposes, but for some cases, appropriate accessories are required.

• The bag should have an attractive appearance. The first thing you involuntarily pay attention to when purchasing is the external characteristics of the bag. The seams and stitches should be even, the threads should not stick out, and there should be no traces of glue on the bag. The fittings should be of high quality, not wear out or fall off when worn, and the zippers should be easy to open and close. If the bag is overloaded with accessories, then there is a feeling of a low-quality product. A high-quality bag looks harmonious.
• The size of the bag must correspond to the parameters of its owner. A small woman should not buy a large bag - it will make her even smaller. Corpulent women can pay attention to molded bags, they collect the figure and the whole image.
• The bag is selected according to the principle of further use - for work, leisure, going to the store, theater, disco and other occasions. Large bags with all your day's belongings are not appropriate in a restaurant, and a small evening clutch bag is not appropriate on the beach. A business bag is out of place in a disco bar, but is a great basic model for a daytime business meeting.
• Seasonality of the bag. Bags for cold and warm seasons are different. In cold weather, use bags of darker, calmer tones and preferably made of leather. Textiles are more suitable for a light summer look, while faux leather may not withstand frost. In summer, light and bright products are often worn; the material of the bag can be very diverse.
• Reasonable combination of price and quality of the product. The best bags are those that will be worn for a long time and with pleasure. The price must correspond to the declared quality of the product and its brand.

When we made the first material, “The Best Italian Shoe Brands,” the reaction to it was mixed. Readers were divided into two camps - some admired and were already compiling a list of brands for pre-New Year shopping, others asked with undisguised irritation: “Where are Prada and Gucci?” The answer is - they are here, in our list of the best Italian bag brands. This doesn't mean Prada's velvet Mary Janes or Gucci's fur-lined slippers aren't the best. It’s just that these Italian houses have made a name for themselves on bags and accessories made of leather, which is what we want to emphasize. And to ensure a complete education in the field of Italian accessories, we have added other outstanding Italian brands from which you should look for the bag of your dreams.

Prada

The first store of the Prada brothers opened in Milan's Vittorio Emanuele gallery in 1913 - at that time the entire European aristocracy flocked there for bags made of innovative Saffiano leather, suitcases and chests. The Prada brand, as we know it now, was born much later - in the 70s, when Mario Prada's granddaughter, Miuccia, took the helm. And again, her leadership truly began with a status accessory - in the 80s, the designer introduced a line of bags and backpacks made of high-tech black nylon, almost indistinguishable from silk in appearance. What it has in common with modern Prada bags is the modest triangular logo, now known throughout the world. What to look for in the brand's current collections? On the elegant Paradigme model, Prada Cahier crossbody bag with guitar strap and clutches with 60s prints.

Fendi

The fur and accessories manufactory of Edoardo and Adele Fendi on Via del Plebisito in Rome was the first in 1925 - and over the following decades it became perhaps the most important place for native Romans, where one could always find the most luxurious fur coat or leather bag. Today, the House of Fendi produces every kind of clothing and accessories you can imagine. And the brand itself is associated with the name of Karl Lagerfeld, who took over as creative director in 1965. But the success of the Italian brand's iconic bags rests entirely with Silvia Venturini Fendi - it was she who created the iconic The Baguette in 1997, The Spy in 2005 and the B Bag in 2006. Probably the most popular Fendi model in the modern world is the Peekaboo with a seemingly open clasp.

Gucci

This is where the real Italian passions lie, in the history of the House of Gucci. Over more than 90 years of existence, everything that can and cannot be imagined has happened to the brand - triumphs, scandals, corporate espionage, fashion discoveries and even one contract murder. It's no surprise that Wong Kar-Wai is planning to make a film about how Maurizio Gucci was shot dead in 1995 on the orders of his ex-wife Patricia. But let's return to the triumphs - the innovation of the House of Gucci in the 30s was the invention of its own material, canvas with a print of woven diamonds. This fabric can still be seen on the brand’s bags, but in those days they were mainly used to make suitcases. In the 50s, Gucci became the first Italian brand, so popular in the States that even Jackie Kennedy wore their bag - in fact, with this model, Jackie, the era of the house's it-bags began. Gucci has always loved to shock - in the 90s the world was amazed by the collections of Tom Ford, and today by the visionary Alessandro Michele. It was this designer who gave Gucci bags their modern look - richly decorated with decor, slogans and all possible shades.

Valextra

Valextra, founded in Milan in 1937, is often called the “unicorn” of the accessories world – these bags are rare, magical in design and unchanged since their founding. Italian style cannot be called minimalist, and Valextra was a pioneer here - the founder of the brand, Giovanni Fontana, focused exclusively on the preciousness and exoticism of leather, without using any decorative elements. No logo, no fancy fittings, no embellishments. As a result, these bags and luggage, along with rare diamonds, ended up in the collections of the most sophisticated people - from Grace Kelly to Aristotle Onassis. Today the brand is designed by Peter Saville, a graphic artist who has worked on the covers of all the major British pop and rock groups of the last 20 years. And its influence cannot be ignored by the dynamics of colors and rare ornaments in Valextra bags - now they are not only valuable, but also artistic, completely in the spirit of the times.

Bottega Veneta

Notice the intricate weaving on all of Bottega Veneta's bags? It's called Intrecciato and thanks to it the brand started talking about it all over the world. Michel Tadei and Renzo Zengiaro founded Bottega Veneta in 1966 in Vicenza, a town between Verona and Venice. Translated from Italian, the name of the House can be translated as “Venetian Manufactory” - and indeed, the first years of its life, Bottega was more of a workshop where connoisseurs of beauty turned to for unique wicker bags and leather accessories. In the 2000s, the Italian House received a second life - with the arrival of designer Giles Deacon and stylist Katie Grand, the brand was first talked about as a trendsetter. Today, all the brand’s collections are created by the German Thomas Mayer, who, just like the creators of Bottega Veneta, appreciates the invention of Intrecciato - this technique still adorns all the House’s accessories.

Zanellato

Founded in 1976, the Zanellato brand in its native Italy is well known and sincerely loved - you must admit, not every bag ends up on a state postage stamp, and especially not twice. The Postina model, soft, made of textured leather and with two locks, one of which is a trompe l’oeil, was created “based on” the traditional bag of Italian postmen of the mid-century. This accessory even has its own logo - a characteristic crossbar, also one of the symbols of the 50s. They say Postina is the most counterfeited bag in Italy. You can distinguish the original from the fake thanks to the special engraving on one of the rivets. But you shouldn’t focus exclusively on this Zanellato model either - the rest of the brand’s bags are no less comfortable, roomy and beautiful. And if you are looking for proof, go to the brand’s first boutique in Russia in Crocus City Mall.

Paula Cademartori

Paula Cademartori may have been born in Brazil, but she launched her first line of bags in Italy, where she studied accessory design. After quitting her job at Versace, Paula launched her own brand at the age of 26 - and she started really small and even posed as her own assistant in order to impress buyers. Paula Cademartori is one of those brands that has become popular thanks to the Internet and street style: the bright graphic design of its bags was quickly appreciated by stylists and fashion editors, and most importantly, photographers. Today, such a madness of ornaments and shades is becoming a thing of the past. But we believe that a modern girl should still have one Cademartori bag in her wardrobe.

Furla

Looking at the energetic design of Furla bags, you would never guess that the history of this brand goes back 90 years. Aldo Furlanetto, the creator of the brand, went through all the thorns before he began selling the bags for which Furla is known today - he sold inexpensive leather goods and handbags from other brands in his boutique in Bologna of the same name. However, the Furla we know and love appeared in the 70s - it was then that Aldo presented the public with a full-fledged collection of bags. Throughout its history, Furla has had several hits - these are the elegant Linda models, the roomy Capriccio, the funny and innovative Candy, made, in particular, from transparent plastic. But our all-time favorite is the compact Metropolis bag, always created with imagination.

Sara Battaglia

Designer Sarah Battaglia sewed her first bag at the age of 6, stealing a piece of fabric for a dress from her mother, a famous Italian sculptor. Then the most interesting thing is that the girl managed to sell this bag to her teacher. It's no surprise that Sarah's signature brand has achieved such success - and it's not only because of her commercial spirit, but also because of the artistic view of the world that she shares with her sister Giovanna Battaglia. The calling cards of the Sara Battaglia brand are fringe, kaleidoscopic colors and bow-shaped accessories on clutches. Would you say that you saw all this at Salvatore Ferragamo? Of course, because today Sarah is creating a capsule line for the House

Coccinelle

The Parma region of Italy is known throughout the world for its culinary inventions - from Parmesan to meat products. But in 1978, the Mazzieri family broke the mold and began producing bags. Coccinelle is translated from Italian as ladybug, and the colors of the brand’s accessories are more reminiscent of exotic plants - there is light green, pale blue, fuchsia, and pomegranate. At the same time, the shapes of the bags are the most laconic and fit neatly into modernity - pay attention to the trapezoidal model B14 and the Clessidra cross-body bag with a figured flap.

Pugnetti Parma

The Pugnetti Parma brand is very young - designer Filippo Pugnetti founded it in 2015. But don’t let age deceive you - Pugnetti uses ancient techniques known only to the craftsmen at the Parma manufactory, which, by the way, has existed since the end of the 17th century. Processing and dyeing leather, combining cuts and designing - all these stages of creating Pugnetti Parma bags are almost no different from the old ones, those that were used in the traditions of the Renaissance. What makes these models modern, as always, is the details - Pugnetti bags are recognizable due to the “tie” decor on the clasps and clasp.

Elena Ghisellini

Even if you have never heard the name Elena Ghisellini, then you have definitely seen the results of her work - for nine years, this native of Genoa created bags for the Houses of Givenchy, Emilio Pucci and Roberto Cavalli. In 2014, Elena decided to reveal her name to the world and created her own brand. Elena Ghisellini bags are instantly recognizable thanks to their rainbow patchwork, dark humor, sensual shapes and exceptional quality leather.

Giancarlo Petriglia

Designer Giancarlo Petriglia managed to work at Trussardi, collaborate with Nicolas Ghesquière and architect Vincent Darré, known for his surreal buildings and interiors. Perhaps it was Darre’s influence that pushed Giancarlo to create a signature brand in 2011 - the designer’s bags are distinguished by the same unbridled imagination. From the brand symbol, the two griffins on the clasp, to the figurative decoration, everything in the Giancarlo Petriglia collections is delightful. The quality is also not far behind - accessories are created in an old manufactory in Palermo, but using modern technologies, for example, eco-glue.

This material is subjective in nature, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.

Stylish clothes and shoes are not everything to create the perfect look. Properly selected accessories will enhance the impression and emphasize the seemingly unnoticeable details of the costume. A handbag is perhaps a woman’s main accessory, the choice of which she treats with such scrupulousness and care. By choosing it skillfully, you can be confident in your irresistibility.
