It can withstand years of abuse and punishment and still look absolutely fantastic. In fact, it seems like the leather bags that are the most beat up and abused can look the most fashionable and cool. One thing you need to know is that moisture and water are the number one enemy against your leather tote bags. Nothing will cause your leather pure to fall apart faster than not protecting it from getting wet. What happens is that when your leather tote bags get wet they absorb water. This causes the purse to tighten as it dries and makes the material very brittle and it will crack very easily.

First of all the solution has special compounds that the leather cells will absorb and retain, and it will not harm the leather. So when the bag gets wet, it will not absorb the water because it has already absorbed the sealant. Secondly, these cleaning products will leave an extremely thin film of a wax type of substance on the surface of your leather purse. This special waxy film will give your purse a shiny attractive finish, and it will resist any type of moisture from coming in direct contact with the leather.

Christian Louboutin is a French shoe designer whose shoes are adored by millions. They have even been compared to works of art, and a pair of his shoes were chosen in a poll as the shoes most likely to turn women on! The shoes have laquered scarlet soles and vertiginous heels and have been seen on the feet of Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve, Kirsten Dunst, Tina Turner, Angelina Jolie, Posh Spice and Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis. Louboutin’s shoes definitely stand out and he admits that he crafts his shoes to be a ‘perfect blend of beauty and sex appeal’ and he likes making his high heels high enough that they ‘slow women down and give them a sexier gait.’

The glossy nail-varnish red sole has become the trademark of the man who has been interested in fashion since he was a young boy. It was then, whilst he was walking throughout the streets of Paris that he noticed a billboard that instructed women not to scratch the wooden floor in front of the Museum of Oceanic Art. This sign got to Louboutin so much that he started obsessively drawing shoes with compressed buckles and with soles, in fact he admits that he spent quite a lot of his time as a teenager drawing these kind of shoes in his school exercise books. They went on to become the base of his sales as a designer.

Louboutin showed huge initiative and started attending Parisian dance halls to offer his shoes to the women attending the dances held at the venues but most of them claimed they had no money and couldn’t afford them! Going back to the drawing board, Louboutin started attending various designing schools, for example Chanel and Saint Laurent. Later he opened a boutique in Paris, luring clients in by offering them free coffee, but this plan worked as he started attracting a prestigious clientele – because of his beautiful shoes, not the coffee! Soon other sellers wanted to sell his shoes and he soon had a following in America. He now has fame and recognition in many countries including Monte Carlo and Singapore.

People love Louboutin’s shoes so much that some would like the designer to branch out into clothes, or to even design some men’s footwear. But he is blatantly not interested. He was approached by a clothes designer once who thought that his name would be enough to sell a clothing range (and they’d probably be right) but Louboutin states that there are so many good designers out there, why would he put his name on clothes when that is not something that he ever wanted to do. His love lies with shoes, and why would he want to change to anything else when his fans include Kate Moss and Madonna? He says that ‘the difference between my shoes and other shoes – I constantly recast, look at them, reshape. It’s not only a design, it’s a shoe. Meaning, if it has to be corrected 10 times, it will be corrected.’

As well as being beautiful and making us feel sexy Italian research has shown that a good pair of heels can help tone the body, condition muscles and improve the wearer’s sex life by working out the pelvic muscles!!!

Accessories are not only intended to fulfill that fashion call but it has to fulfill its functional call. That is exactly what you can expect from Tote Bags, Tote Purses and Toto Handbags.

A tote bag is a medium to large square handbag or purse with durable handles to carry a variety of things and every day items. The term tote which means “to carry all”, can be traced back to the 17th century but it was not used in the same sense as today. The description “carry all” originated in the 40’s signifying it’s used as a “shopper”. These bags are perfect to hold all your necessary items as books, beachwear and others. Totes will eventually find their presence in boardrooms, boardwalks and beaches.

Today, it is still unclear exactly what constitutes a tote – you only notice that it comes in different shapes, colors and sizes. The common similarity to all totes is that it possessed one large interior compartment which is deal for everyday use. Added features are: a fabric lining, protective feet and reinforced corners.

Traditionally, totes were made of cotton, nylon, leather or canvas, although tote bags, tote purses, and tote handbags may also use such materials as vinyl, mesh or cutting edge raw materials. Catering to all fashion tastes, the materials can also be made of classic pebbled, glowing patent and shimmering metallic fabric finish, embossed fabrics, signature jacquards, suede shelving and other colored fabrics which are eye-catching and attractive to  behold.

Tote bags, tote purses, tote handbags must be among the most important “must have” in your fashion accessories.

A handbag or a purse is a necessary accessory for women. Not only are they fashionable but also functional. They answer the call to fashion as well as function. That’s what you can expect from a Sondra Roberts handbag. Handbags have been around for numerous generations. Ever since recorded history began, handbags have been known to be useful for women, and even men! A handbag is a true companion that holds things like wallets, keys, cell phones, debit/credit cards, tissues, business cards, lipsticks, blush, etc.

During the early years, handbags were not carried in the hand; instead women use to wear handbags around their waist. If you glance-back into the history of Ancient Egypt, you can easily get references that prove that both male and female wore small carrying bags. It was only after the early 20th century that the term handbag was becoming more popular and consequently the trend shifted to only women carrying handbags.

Women and handbags go hand in hand. She makes sure that all the things that she needs are easily accessible so that she is safeguarded for any occasion or event.

Handbags are so popular today because they are stylish, functional, and most of all a fashion statement in itself. Because of their popularity during emerging fashion trends, handbags come in different styles and sizes. Designer handbags are in vogue. Now let’s look into the different styles of handbags, they are as follows:

Satchel handbags – Satchel handbags are identified by two short handles and straps and are quite large. They are ideally meant for travel and journeys. Tote handbags – This kind of handbags displays a flaunting stylish-and-crazy fashion. Tote-bags vary in shapes, sizes, and materials. They have two handles and are usually made of canvas and are more durable than many other types of handbags. They are multi-purposed. They can be used to carry books, clothes, and even groceries. The lightweight of tote handbags also make it useful to be carried to the beach.

Shoulder handbags – Simply put, handbags that can be worn over the shoulder, are called shoulder handbags. They normally have one or two straps to secure over the shoulder.

Clutch handbags – They are small, rectangular in shape, and usually holds small items like keys, business cards, lipsticks, combs, etc. Great for evening and formal attire ladies!

Apart from the aforementioned varieties of handbags, there are also other styles of handbags. Shopper handbags, Messenger handbags, the Balentine Bag, the Accordion bag, Slings handbags, etc. are other styles of women handbags.  For a full range, visit handbags by Sondra Roberts.

There may not be a phrase that sounds more like music to a woman’s ear than designer shoes + designer handbag = fabulous look.  The problem is that we cannot always afford these items, and certainly it is not always easy to purchase them together.  The fact of the matter is these items are investments. The trick is to remember this when you see their price tags, and consider what you are getting in return.

There are some wonderful shoes and handbags out there without the designer labels, to be certain.  Certainly they do not come with the designer price tags!  However, neither do they necessarily come with any sort of guarantee of quality.  If you shop at a discount warehouse location looking for ‘designer’ tags, you are not necessarily getting what you pay for.  You may end up spending more than you would without the designer labels and getting significantly less, as these shoes or bags may not be authentic.  What you may end up with is a pair of shoes or a handbag that is of lesser quality than you would have gotten had you purchased a no-name brand.  If you are going to shop designer for a fabulous look, do it right.  Go with names you know and trust, so that you can be sure to reap the return on your investment.

One such name in designer shoes is Christian Louboutin.  Many, many shoe designers are Italian.  Christian Louboutin is French, although his shoes are made in Italy, and he designs exquisite shoes.  You can tell his shoes anywhere by the signature, bright red underside of his shoes.  Many a knock-off designer has tried to recreate the look and mimic his shoes, but they can’t even come close.  If you look closely at the red underside of the shoe, you will be able to tell a fake from the imprint of Louboutin’s name as well as the way the sole fits on the underside.  As for quality and design, you can tell a Louboutin shoe from simply looking at it, even from afar.  His shoes are stunningly sleek, for the most part, whether they are skins (snake, alligator, etc) or leather.  They also tend to have a very high stiletto heel, generally in the 4.5” to 5.5” range.  Of course, Louboutin also makes boots and flats and platforms, but he is best known for his stilettos.

It would be wonderful to see a Louboutin bag paired with a pair of these magnificent shoes, but unfortunately there is no such thing.  Christian Louboutin does not have a handbag line, but you can still be certain of fashion success if you wear his shoes with another designer’s bag.  Just be certain to pair an animal skin shoe with a solid handbag,

or a solid shoe such as those in his Catenita line with more of a daring print in a handbag.

For a fabulous fashion fit and a guaranteed winning look, you cannot go wrong matching your shoe designer with your bag designer.  Many – if not most – top shoe designers also have a complete handbag line.  Gucci is probably the best known designer in this category.  Again, you will want to pair your patterned Gucci handbag with a solid Gucci shoe, and vice versa.  Introduced to the fall/winter 2009 season Gucci collection is the “New Jackie” handbag, which is a beautifully large shoulder bag complete with tassels, hand stitching and bamboo detail.  There is a coral python print and a beige and ebony crystal design with the Gucci logo fabric, both of which would be perfect when paired with Gucci’s new “Division” high heeled platform for this fall/winter season.  While the new line does carrying a solid leather and black patent, the stiletto heel is gracefully patterned so as to match a number of Gucci’s bags.  This would be the exception to the rule of not ‘doubling up’ on prints with bag and shoe, because the print is so minimal on the heel it actually helps to highlight the bag.  You cannot go wrong with Gucci.

Another fabulous designer look for both shoes and handbags comes from Versace.  This famous Italian designer does everything from shoes to handbags to clothing to home décor, and does it all quite well.  His spring/summer lines are whimsical and contemporary, allowing you to mix and match a number of his strappy, leg-accentuating shoes with his oversized, colorful bags.  His fall/winter line is sure to reveal even more outrageous fashion fun.

It really is a worthwhile investment to pair a designer shoe with a designer bag, especially if you can make both purchases from the same designer.  You will be noticed from a mile away, and if you take good care of them you will enjoy your purchases for many, many years to come.
