A beaded handbag can make a great accent piece to your outfit. They range from small, seed bead covered clutches to handbags made of larger beads that are perhaps a carryall, so you can match your party outfit with a black beaded clutch, or try a larger beaded handbag for your day in shorts and flip-flops at the beach.

Beaded handbags can be bought at many bag and purse stores, as well as occasionally be found at accessories stores. Or you can go hunting for one at craft fairs and crafters' stores. You could even get a fun beaded handbag custom made for you by a bead crafter.

Beaded handbags, earrings, bracelets and other accessories can be fun and trendy accent pieces for anyone. Why not make yours even trendier by making it yourself? You can try to make your own style of bead handbag with a bead loom and some beads. These make fun accessories for yourself and great gifts for friends.

You can get a bead loom at many bead stores, as well as picking out the beads for the project. You'll want a lot of beads that are the same size and type – use different color patterns to make your design.

You can find patterns for how to make your bead handbag on the internet, or there are many books available on beading. Your bead loom can also be used to make bead bracelets and necklaces, which you could coordinate with your handbags.

You can also take an ordinary handbag and bead it for a fun beaded look. Use the beads to sew a design onto the fabric, for a fresh new look for an older, boring bag. Or take a look online to see the beaded handbags and wallets available for purchase.

There are many beaded handbag designers on the internet, with styles ranging from the funky and fun handbag for a party girl to more elegant editions for more formal events. You can carry a beaded handbag to a formal or semi formal event to add a bit of your personality to your outfit. There are even beaded crocheted handbags available, which add another level of texture to a beaded handbag.

Beaded handbags can be works o art. If you like Native American art, why not try out a Native American beaded bag? This gives your outfit some culture and shows off your style.

Trendsetting Handbag Designers
Author: Cathy Feldman
The popularity of designer handbags is at an all-time high. Everywhere we look, from the high street to the nightclub, everyone is carrying a trendy new purse. It seems that we are often so preoccupied with our new handbags that we tend to forget about the people behind the designs. I started trying to develop a shortlist of my favorite designers, but I realized that I am in love with the work of far too many to list. The following are just a few of my favorites.

Chloe is, by far, one the greatest design houses in the world. I absolutely love their work! At times, I feel that some of the French designers are a little over the top…but where would true fashion be without their sense of creativity and innovation. Chloe has been a leader in the world of fashion, especially since the Stella McCartney assumed the helm. Her star power and understanding of classic design reinvigorated a company that was often lacking the cohesive aesthetic that truly binds a collection together. Make no mistake about it…Chloe is the new Gucci!

Vivienne Westwood has done more for British design that any other designer in modern times. In many ways, the entire punk genre owes her a debt of allegiance. Vivienne was just a young girl during the heyday of punk, when she met a fellow named Malcolm McLaren. For those of you not particularly well versed in your punk rock history, Malcolm was the manager of the consummate British punk band – The Sex Pistols. After dressing the Pistols for a number of years, she opened her own shop in London called Sex Boutique. Punks worldwide have adopted her design aesthetic, and the rest is history.

Monica Botkier is yet another brilliant designer. Her designs are held in high esteem by women all around the world. After spending the early part of her career as a fashion photographer, Monica Botkier has certainly spent enough time in the fashion world to know what constitutes a great handbag. She is able to strike the perfect balance between function and form, and her designs are some of the most sought after with fashionistas everywhere. Monica Botkier's designs are famous for their detailing, hardware, and innate sophistication.

Online Shopping Tips - Purses & Accessories
Author: Felice Azorsky
Having trouble looking for that unique and different handbag? Or, maybe you're looking for a purse that isn't in the local stores and boutiques yet? Then you should try searching online! Gone are the days when women had to go to the mall to choose from limited supplies. It is the age of the internet, and anything and everything can be found online. It's easy and accessible, and with one click of a button, hundreds or even thousands of options become available to you.

Now you can go shop for the current "must-have" bag, or something quite different and unique, like customized handbags such as photo purses. If you decide to go online to shop, you must understand that there are a few risks involved. Only deal with reputable stores or sources with credentials, preferably those stores that have secure payment processors like Verisign or Authorize.net. A liberal return policy & a phone number to reach customer service would be another thing to look for. Giving them a call to ask around for details first would be a very good idea.

If you're in the market for a designer bag, learn to spot fakes and cheap knock-offs. A few tips on how to spot fakes online would be if the price is too good to be true, or the seller is on an auction site and they have a ton to sell. If you do order it, know that designer handbags will often have some extra stitching or small marks that will distinguish it from fakes. Look for the custom label or logo of a designer purse or handbag, and check if they are misplaced or misspelled. Another thing to keep in mind whenever you are shopping would be to compare prices. It never hurts to do a search for the stores name to see if there are any previous customers complaining about the vendor.

Yes there is a slight risk involved in online shopping, but the benefits would far outweigh them. Once you learn to look for bargains and spot fakes, you're on your way to many great deals and purchases. In today's world of mass production of purses and fashion accessories, going online to shop is one way to distinguish yourself from looking like everyone else. So go online today and shop with confidence.

Designer Handbags and Discount Shopping
Author: Bag Lady
Everyone wants brand name accessories, especially in the trendy fashion circles. Many of us have been tempted to buy one of those Louis Vuitton replicas, but we surely wouldn't want to be seen carrying it around. I think you all know my stance on replicas and knock-offs. In my little world, they are simply unacceptable. Fashion is my life, and the market in replicas undermines the stability of the industry I have grown to love.

For the price conscious shopper, there are other alternatives available. A number of the major department stores have started to carry designer accessories and handbags, at greatly discounted prices. While there are some that believe that high fashion is the exclusive domain of the wealthy, it is my opinion that fashion should unite and not divide. The love of fashion can and will continue to bring people of common interest together.

I recently went upstate for a weekend to visit some friends and family, and I was thrilled to discover a factory outlet for Coach. I picked up three amazing handbags at very reasonable prices, and I intend to go back sometime soon. To be honest, I was amazed to see a company like Coach with a discount outlet. I have spent countless hours exploring their flagship store on Madison Avenue, and from I could tell the outlet store had almost the exact same inventory. At discounted prices, no less!

Upon returning home, I did some research on sales figures for Coach. It turns out that the discount outlet I had just visited earns almost as much revenue as the flagship store in NYC. In 2005 this particular outlet store earned over 20 million dollars, and they are projecting earnings over 25 million for the current year! These are astounding figures, in my humble opinion. Why aren't other designers pursuing the discount market?

My feeling is that is has a lot to do with the elitist attitudes that pervade the fashion industry. There is a strong feeling, in fashion circles, that discount stores dilute the luxury image that so many designers are trying to cultivate. While there may be some credence to this argument, I am of the opinion that fashion is for the people. I would love to see more companies taking the approach that Coach is taking. Purses for the People, I say!
