Wholesale Handbags – and the War of the Worlds

Wholesale Handbags are in the midst of a truly cultural revolution, and it’s going to result in an epic battle for the top spot, as designers and manufacturers go toe to toe with their heaviest artillery in 2011. We’ve seen all kinds of styles and designs hit the streets in the past year; but with the nation’s economy showing continued growth in retail spending, the heat is on for the ultimate in eye-catching fashion. What started as a little skirmish on the borders of good taste and practical sensibilities, turned into an all-out attack from the front lines of designer-inspired creations coming out of every imaginable location around the globe. The output was not only limited to China, but a whole slew of new contenders made their appearance as Vietnam and India broke onto the scene with a variety of wholesale goods to make things interesting. Things have gotten so heated in the industry, that the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has made the decision to vote the institution of investigating certain handbags, luggage, accessories, and packaging thereof. While there will be a growing list of items under this new regulatory policy, the products at issue for now in this investigation are handbags, luggage, accessories, and related packaging that bear certain monogram designs. On the other hand, the environment for new and upcoming designers has never been better, and the increased regulations regarding trafficking of fakes will only add to the incentive to promote the creation of innovative designs that consumers will accept readily. Talent from as far away as the Philippines comes in the form of Nine West’s appointment of designer Rafe Totengco, who had previously launched his own namesake brand in 1995, with great success in international markets. A celebratory party was held by Nine West to attract media attention, and to showcase the new designer works. Not to be outdone by anyone, Chanel has also been hard at work trying to relieve itself of brand-numbness, by giving the company’s new Mademoiselle line a fresh face to promote the product. Blake Lively, the hot A-list celeb from the Gossip Girl series, is going to be putting her best face forward fro the new line of handbags, as she has been an avid fan and follower of Karl Lagerfeld for many years. As she excitedly put it, the choice was beyond her expectations. “ A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around!” Other notable stars that have carried the Chanel name to new heights are Lily Allen and Vanessa Paradis, Kate Moss, and Keira Knightly, to name a few. Along the same lines of the Chanel brand and styling trend, Nicole Richie is making news as the TV celebrity-turned-designer has admitted to having a “closet full of Chanel handbags” as one of her weaknesses in life. Often voted by celebrity reviews and fan sites as the world’s most stylish woman, Richie has also given a nod to designers who produce super chic Wholesale Handbags, like famed designer Alexander McQueen
