Leather and Key

Fossil, Inc. is an American designer and manufacturer of clothing and accessories, primarily watches and jewelry, but also sunglasses, wallets, handbags, belts, shoes and clothing, based in Richardson, Texas, United States.
Fossil was founded in 1984 as Overseas Products International by Tom Kartsotis, from a suggestion by his older brother, Kosta Kartsotis, a merchandising executive at Sanger Harris. Kosta told his younger brother about the potential large profits that could be made in importing retail goods made in the Far East, specifically in importing moderately-priced fashion watches. Their main product was fashion watches with a retro look. In 1990, they introduced leather goods under the Fossil brand, and the Relic line of watches.

But we are just going to discuss about Fossil bags. Here are some of Fossil creations:

Okay, i know that most of you will not notice that there's always a "Key" on each bag. Yes, I can tell you that it is Fossil signature for their bags product. And for your information, Fossil is wellknown for their leather material for bags. I, myself, have already used their bag, and no doubt about the quality. 



Unique "Face" Bag

Céline is a French luxury house founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. Today, it is an international luxury goods brand owned by LVMH. These Céline's bags really got worldwide attention in bags industry, and of course in my personal attention. I love their bags' design, with a Face-kind design, and also with variety type of use. We can wear them as a handbag, satchel or even tote bag, and many more. I think it's really a unique design of bag, i mean, as we can see from these following bags, most of the design is using a face-kind symbol.







Chiara Ferragni, one of my favourite blogger, i found that she often use her Céline's bag, which i think might be her favourite one. I really love her bag, i mean the one that she's wearing on the photo is kind of fashionable besides its petite size of bag.

Let's Talk about Quality

The Birkin bag is a handbag by Hermès, handmade in leather and named after actress and singerJane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and usage by celebrities.


Its prices range from £4,800 to £100,000 ($7,400 to $150,000). Costs escalate according to the type of materials. The bags are distributed to Hermès boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, creating scarcity and, intended or unintended, exclusivity.
Jane Birkin, singer

In 1981, Hermès chief executiveJean Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the deck, leaving her to scramble to replace them. Birkin explained to Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her, based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself then later changed her mind because she was carrying too many things in it: “What’s the use of having a second one?” she laughs. “You only need one and that busts your arm; they’re bloody heavy. I’m going to have to have an operation for tendonitis in the shoulder.”  Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon.

Birkin bags are sold in a range of sizes. Each one may be made to order with different customer-chosen hides, color, and hardware fixtures. There are other individual options, such as diamond-encrusting.

The bag also has a variety of hides such as calf leather,ostrich, crocodile, and lizzard. One of the most expensive is saltwater-crocodile skin. Bags with smaller scales cost more than those with larger scales. The bag is lined with goat-skin. The color of the interior matches the exterior. Prices for the Birkin bag depend on the color, hardware fixtures, and skin

Although the Birkin bag is free of logos, it is one of the most recognized bags in the fashion industry and by the public.


It is highly coveted and, for several years, was reputed for having a waiting list of up to 6 years – the longest wait for any bag in history.As a result of the strong demand, the Birkin bag has a high reselling value in many countries, especially in Asia. In April 2010, Hermès announced that the waiting list would no longer exist, implying that it is potentially available to all.

Their excess is on the 'A' shape design of most of their products, for instance: bags and watches. However, for some people, these designs seems monotonous for the reason they look almost alike.The material that is usually used for Aigner products is leather. They usually use leather to make handbags, wallets, belts and also accessories. Aigner products have the classy timeless design. However, even though Aigner usually have a classy design for their products, some of its products also have a little bit combination with modern design so they can be known also as classy yet modern products nowadays.

 Samantha Thavasa bags design have a really cute feel when we look at them. Sometimes there are flowery pattern on the bag and almost all the bags have a doll as a decoration. The design make that it's suit for teenagers and young adults. Even though there're dolls decoration on the bags, they don't look childish because of the right combination and proportion between the bag and the doll's size. Not only they don't have a childish look but they also have a really sophisticated design that attract consumer to buy them. As for the colour of the bags, they usually just have one colour for the whole bag including the decoration. I think it's because they won't look too eccentric because of the different colour crash.
