Large Purses Impress

For generations the handbag has been used to demonstrate signs of wealth and many women these days crave the labelled brands as an indicator of status. Large purses first came into popularity in the early 1900's and the term handbag was initially used to refer to hand-held luggage most often carried by men. At this time it was considered lady-like to carry as little as possible and a small bag was typical. In fact, it is noted that Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the first women to start the trend of carrying large purses which was not really typical of the time. Since that time large purses have impressed.



Women and men are advised to invest as much money as they can in a good quality leather handbag. This is because quality leather especially Italian leather,  lasts a long time and always looks good.  Well made large purses can hide the fact that maybe your clothes are not as well-made or fashionable. A good handbag has become a sign of good breeding. Designer large purses are a good way to exhibit both wealth and good taste. Large purses also reflect women's climb up the corporate ladder. In the 80's, as women began “power dressing” in shorter skirts, sharply tailored suits and killer heels, their handbags soon followed suit becoming bigger and flashier.

Today the size of the typical handbag has increased to meet the need of the modern women on the go. Nowadays our large purses carry our keys, our phones, our I-pads, our make-up, our personal items, our books, our umbrellas and much, much more.  Essentially, our large purses carry our lives.

Large purses are designed to hold all your daily necessities, so you can say so long to cramming your belongings inside. Streamline your style with plentiful pockets and card slots! Add a wallet to store your coins, notes and card. Large purses provides organization for convenient weekend getaways, overnight stays, business, college, and everyday use.  Large purses are great for both men's handbags and women's handbags alike.

Guys - Spruce Up Your Outfit With Men's Accessories

  
 Guys, if you want to add a sense of style, spruce up your outfit with men's accessories - aimed for the man with panache; for the man who wishes to be trendy; for the fashion conscious man.

Men’s accessories are a fashion accessory intended to appeal to men. In bygone eras a tie or a watch was the only accessory worn by a man, but these days, men’s accessories consist of a wide choice of fashionable and trendy pieces, including man bags, designed specifically to complement an outfit. Many men’s accessories are intended to make a man look very mannish and sensual.  A man who wears the right fashion accessory will no doubt draw attention irrespective of whether he is dressed for business, sport, social or just leisure.

Men’s accessories include various different items worn to set off a particular look. Ties, cravats, belts, buckles, socks, scarves, footwear, jewelry, watches, hats, handkerchiefs and sunglasses all add that little bit of appeal.  Man bags are also back in fashion so a quality designer handbag gives a boost to a man’s fashion statement.

Hair styles are also a critical part of a man’s appearance and men are opting for hair transplants and other therapies to replace the wigs, hairpieces, toupees and hair extensions worn by men for centuries.  These types of men’s accessories have now become very commercial with many doctors setting up practice to assist balding men.

The art of tattooing and body piercing has also come back into fashion. Originally from tribal roots, it has made its place in the range of men’s accessories used. Many men now make a fashion statement by embellishing their body with tattoos and semi permanent jewelry such as nose rings or an earring (men tend to just wear a single earring).

Men's accessories also include hi-tech items such as smart phones, I-pods, ear phones and other wearable computer devices. An entire new business model has developed trading in these stylish products to complement a man’s (or woman's) look and status. Just look at how people lined up outside the Apple Stores to be the first to buy the newly released I-phone 6.

Men are often more blasé about wearing men’s accessories and they tend to be worn more casually. However they are still thought to be a status symbol demonstrating success and professionalism.
Some professions have established men’s accessories which have been accepted as fashion statements.  These include things such as cowboy hats, aviator sunglasses, sailor caps, cargo pants, fishing vests, hardhats and various sports outfits and athletic shoes from professional sports teams.

At one time ceremonial swords and canes played a significant role in men’s accessories. Some are still used by royals and regiments for formal occasions. Hat badges also arose from the military and are still prevalent today. They often have important significance to the wearer and specify membership to a certain group,  such as military regiments, school badges, college alumni badges, professional badges and sports badges.

Fashion Trends in Guangzhou China






When I visited Guangzhou recently I was surprised to find how westernized and casual the fashion trends were. 

The locals who frequented the market place in the centre of Guangzhou were casually dressed in dresses, trousers, hot pants, shorts and simple blouses and tee shirts. The people in Guangzhou could have been air lifted from China Town in Sydney Australia where I come from.



Chinese citizens from out side of Guangzhou city are of the opinion that this city is lacking in historical and cultural depth and that the fashion trends are somewhat lacking as well. This view is held despite Guangzhou’s  rich cultural  inheritance of over 2000 years which has recently being unearthed in the old tomb of the Nanyue King of the western Han Dynasty, and other ancient sites, such as the Chen Temple.


 Geographically Guangzhou is isolated from the rest of China by mountainous peaks and is located not too far from the westernized Hong Kong.  Its early contact to the outside western world has resulted in its unique way of life leading to a more westernized lifestyle, fashion trends, liberal ideas, distinctive cuisine, commerce, trade and tremendous wealth.

The temperature when I visited in July was in the mid to high 30’s (OC), very humid, and there were sudden heavy tropical showers in the afternoon.  The climate was hot and sticky and the local people dressed for comfort more than for fashion trends. The best months to holiday in Guangzhou are October and November or April and May. The typhoon season is summer which is from June to September Guangzhou and this is when this sub-tropical climate’s humidity levels are at their highest.

The favourite fashion trends with the young women and girls appeared to be shorts or hot pants and light tops to keep them cool. Older women wore loose fitting trousers and tops, or simple dresses. Men wore shorts and tee shirts.  It was quite rare to see men in suits in the streets. The only ones I saw were in the hotels and were probably business men visiting Guangzhou.


Children like children everywhere wore simple clothes to keep them cool, and enjoy tasty treats.


What puzzled me most about the fashion trends I saw was that most of the fabrics worn by the locals were man-made synthetic materials. Also the majority of the clothes I saw for sale at the markets were made in synthetic fabrics. I personally find these synthetic fabrics hot and sweaty to wear because they do not breathe. I was unable to wear any of my own clothes made of synthetic fabric in Guangzhou and I really cannot understand how a whole city of people living in such a hot sticky climate managed to keep cool in all those synthetic materials. 


The shoes also seemed to be made out of synthetic materials which sweat and do not stretch when your feet become hot and swollen. The men seemed to wear sneakers and the women synthetic sandals. High platform shoes seemed to be the favourite fashion trends with the girls and young women. 



English is only spoken by a small percentage of people in Guangzhou so it is a good idea to carry your hotel's business card with you when you go out. Have the names of your destinations clearly written down in Chinese by the hotel staff so that you can   ask for directions if necessary. Also have a few phrases written down for shopping, such as how much does this cost? Or where is the toilet? However a lot of educated younger people do have some basic English language and most staff at hotels, bars and restaurants do speak satisfactory English, so the best thing to do  if you are  lost is to call into a hotel to ask directions.



I experienced three levels of shopping in Guangzhou. The upmarket brands such as New Balance, Nike and Versace where I found the prices to be about the same as in Sydney; the bargain stores which offer cheap Chinese made products; and the counterfeit stores which sell fake imitations of leading fashion trends and brands.


 
Tourists typically come to Guangzhou to shop and eat. Guangzhou is renowned for its   huge markets specializing in nearly any sort product made in China, such as Chinese tea, herbs, garments, watches, electronics and toys. Guangzhou is known for being up with the fashion trends and offering cheaper versions of products and brands available on the international markets. Guangzhou is a shoppers' paradise with loads of good quality products at affordable prices. You will be surprised to discover how low the real cost is for most products made in China. If you are looking for up to date fashion trends, the Baima Clothes Market, World Trade Mall and Teemall are the best places to shop.



But buyer beware!  There appears to be two price rules – one rule for the locals and another rule for the tourists. The prices on the majority of items are not clearly labelled and if you ask about the price the calculator is produced to calculate a “special” price. However I found that the price is higher than those found in Sydney and who is to know if the product is real or faux.

If you are approached by a hawker on the streets, beware because they will probably take you to a counterfeit store. Sometimes you may be really happy with your purchase and the price you pay, but don’t forget it is not under guarantee and there is warranty provided if something goes wrong with it.

Men Dress To Impress With A Trendy Man Bag


Men when you want to dress to impress, one way to do it and show style is to carry a man bag.


 Men’s handbags have become really popular and make a man look classy and professional. Whether it is a briefcase, portfolio, messenger bag, tote bag, clutch purse, cross-body bag, shoulder bag,  satchel, backpack, bag or a duffel bag, it will add a bit of pizzazz and look really trendy. Men’s handbags are considered to be a cool fashion accessory for new aged guys in this modern world.  Guys carry a bag to make a statement about who they are.

A briefcase is probably the most classic type of men’s handbag. They are typically carried by professional, business men and women to carry laptop computers, papers and other documents. They are usually slender box-shaped bags or cases with handles.  


 Soft satchels which were the predecessor of the briefcase are also in vogue and are popular especially with students but are becoming more and more in demand for business and casual wear as well. They have a shoulder strap which is worn diagonally across the body, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip. The satchel has a front flap that fastens using single or double-sided buckles and sometimes has a handle at the top. 

 
Other types of bags popular with professionals are portfolios, folios and attaché cases which are often used to carry documents, papers as well as computers. These three types of bags do not have a handle and are usually carried in the hand or under the arm. 


 Messenger bags have become the most popular type of men’s handbags. They are worn over one shoulder with a strap that goes across the chest resting the bag on the lower back making it easier to carry heavy items, such as documents, books and laptops.  The hands are left free for doing other things such as riding a bike.

  Tote bags are popular fashion accessories carried as both women’s and men’s handbags.
They are functional carry-all bags which are open with parallel handles fitted at either sides of the bag. A lot of tote bags are very decorative and may bear different logos, themes and patterns. 

 Backpacks have become very popular with professionals and business men and women who use them as business bags in place of the  more classic and traditional briefcase for carrying laptops and paperwork. They have two straps which go over the shoulders and are designed to carry heavy loads on your back.  Some of the larger backpacks have frames which offload the largest part of the weight onto padded hip belts, leaving the shoulder straps mainly for stabilizing the load.

  A duffel bag is a large cylindrical bag traditionally with a drawstring closure at the top. They were designed to be slung over the shoulder by drawing the rope tight and then using the rope as the strap.  Now days the more modern versions are used as gym bags with handles and straps.

 
 For every day use and an easy, safe way to carry your belongings is the cross-body bag which has a long thin strap worn across the body leaving the hands free. Man bags also include styles which have long straps worn on one shoulder which are called shoulder bags. 

 Clutch purses for men have become quite trendy and are considered to be the perfect fashion accessory for the modern man.  They are small man bags which are large enough to hold necessities such as phone, keys, tickets, passports and money, but are small and compact.  They may have a detachable chain or strap so they can also be worn hanging from the shoulder, and some may have a small wristlet strap. 

 Men’s handbags are made out of a variety of materials such as thick fabric cloth, jute, canvas, heavy nylon or leather and may be lined with vinyl or waterproof tarp or PVC to make them waterproof.  In my opinion there is nothing nicer and more masculine than a man carrying a bag especially one made out of fabulous Italian leather – leather stands the test of time and looks so classy and stylish.So men if you need to dress to impress especially in the office carry a trendy man bag.
