Sex and the City, Designer Handbags

Designer handbags are as vital as breathing for the girls of Sex and the City. Remember the movie? Designer handbags are rented in the same manner as apartments and cars! So exactly what’s so special about a pouch simply designed to hold our keys, wallets and cell phones?

 Sex And The City | SATC | Movie | Sequel

For starters, the bags of these high-fashion women cost more than can even fit inside their little pouch. After some research of both the HBO Sex and the City series and the movie, we were finally able to pinpoint only one purse that cost less than $1500!! The show decides to parade Carrie around in expensive Manolo Blahnik shoes and Timmy Woods bags only to have her return to a mildly dingy apartment. Sounds weird, right? Not really.

While this may seem like an extravagant lifestyle only seen on the silver screen, reality does collide with the show. In fact, it was Samantha’s desire for a Hermes Birkin bag that made fans realize that their favorite characters struggle to secure high end designer labels just like everyone else. Sex and the City exposed the $5000 bill and 2 year wait to obtain one of these coveted designer handbags – and even using Lucy Liu as a pseudo-name couldn’t snag the bag for Samantha. Women around the world could relate to having the perfect handbag out of reach but within sight.

Sex and the City has us all drooling over the designer labels; Hermes Birkin, Chanel, Fendi, Nancy Gonzalez, Louis Vuitton, and more grace the screen leaving us in both awe of their beauty and anger of their nearly unattainable status. But we must give credit where credit is due. For as much as the fashionistas of SATC relish their expensive toys, they are occasionally spotted at vintage stores that house no labels. Carrie even wore a “no-label” wedding dress on her big day – although she did balance it with the Dior Gladiators she uses to walk down the aisle.

Basically, a handbag is how a woman is presented. It provides the cover for whatever dirty secrets hide inside; the number of a guy you’re not supposed to be seeing, the makeup you pretended you don’t wear because you’re already flawless, and whatever else you wish to hide. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha have it right. Make sure your handbag represents your style and how you want to be seen – even if you have to break the bank to get there….lol.

With 2009 now fast coming to an end, we’re getting closer to the Sex and the City movie sequel, May 28, 2010. I can’t wait to see what’s install for us when it comes to the fashion, especially the handbags!

Bergdorf Goodman Designer Handbags Sale

Great news for recessionistas! It’s not too late to take advantage of the Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale with savings of up to 40% off designer clothing and designer shoes as well as designer handbags, accessories, menswear and men’s shoes.

Last week, I shared some of my top picks from the designer clothing collections and the designer shoes collections. But today is all about designer handbags!

So, if you want to instantly update your look without investing in a new head-to-toe ensemble, check out some of these fashionable finds! 

First on my wish list, Valentino serves up the ultimate alternative to basic Black with the stunning Histoire Frame Tote shown Here.

Valentino | Histoire Framed Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale This Rasberry patent designer handbag is the perfect choice to complement the soft neutrals that come with Fall. It features Silvertone hardware, Black canvas lining, an interior zip pocket, and flap pockets on the front with a tab closure. I especially love the uber-chic braided shoulder straps with buckle detail and the signature Valentino logo plate on the side. As an added bonus, it features protective feet at the base and even includes a dust bag – always a nice touch! Made in Italy, this showstopper measures 13"H x 17 1/2"W x 6"D with a 5 1/2" drop. A true investment piece, this designer handbag was originally $2,395, but is now on sale for $1,605.

One of this season’s must-have accessories is the clutch and Gucci has made a spectacular one. The Hysteria Clutch shown below comes in Tortoise Shell print patent leather and features Goldtone hardware, a zip-top closure, side ties, an inside pocket, and Metal Gucci crest detail. Made in Italy, it measures 15.5"W x 8.7"H x 2.4"D. If it’s a luxe evening look that you’re after, this is the designer handbag for you! Originally $1,250, it has been marked down to $838 during this designer sale.

Gucci | Hysteria Clutch | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale If you’re a fan of rich textures like I am, you’ll want to check out the suede designer handbag by Jimmy Choo shown below. The Simone Suede Flap Hobo features Goldtone hardware and knotted leather top handles. But the piece de resistance is the fun enameled horseshoe accent on the flap top. After all, who can’t use a little good luck? Made in Italy, this Jimmy Choo designer handbag was originally priced at $1,995, but has been marked down to $1,337. Buy it now and you’ll be stepping stylishly into Fall!

Jimmy Choo | Simone Suede Flap Hobo | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale I’m also in love with the ultramodern silhouette of the Christian Louboutin Twisted Shoulder Tote shown below. Made in Italy of luxurious calfskin, it features a twisted shoulder strap and the distinguished openwork “Louboutin charm.” This elegantly structured tote is available in black or white. Originally, $1995, it has been reduced to $1337 as part of the BG designer handbag sale.
