Some people love shoes, others prefer shades, but most fashionistas know that your handbag makes the biggest fashion statement. And you can never have too many fabulous bags in your closet. They are the ideal accessory to add spice and flair to your outfit. Designer handbags have become a unique outward statement of a women’s (and men too) status, fashion savvy and earning power. Add to the rising popularity of luxury handbags is the increasing social independence of their owners. Women and now more and more men buy designer bags often as a reward to themselves to celebrate a milestone, keep up with the status quo, or perhaps as retail therapy. And no surprise, men have become equally obsessed with having a designer name brand to complete their fashion statementDesigner Brands = Making Big Impact:
