Perfect Handbag


from Fashion Trends Super modeling new designer

How to Choose a Perfect Handbag I have a lot of women friends and they are engaged in different kinds of jobs. Most of them should face various of people in their daily work, so how to make themselves look nice and beauty comes to be a serious matter. Handbag has been an indispensible accouterment for young girls and ladies for several decades. Sometimes my friends ask me to recommend a reliable company where they can buy top-quality handbags, wallets or other leathercraft.


In the past, I also don’t know which company is credible. I accidentally find the website it is a reasonably professional company that sale nearly all brands of handbags of the most vogue designs. I have never seen a website that is analogous to this one. I attempted to buy a Hermes Birkin handbag several days after I found this company. Originally, I was suspicious of the quality of this Birkin handbag. But I realized I was wrong when I received my bag. The quality of the handbag is fairly good, the design and the color are my favorite. So now if someone asks my suggestion on buying a vogue and top-quality handbag, I will promptly recommend www.luxurynavi.com for her. In my experience, the well designed handbag is more durable than fake ones and the well designed handbags are made of well-chosen leather, the color and luster are all better than fake ones. Thus it can make a lady or girl look more attractive.

Tough times hit luxury goods firms

The cold winds of recession have finally caught up with the luxury goods market, according to sales figures out today from Cartier-to-Montblanc group Richemont. The news echoed last week's shock revelation from British luxury fashion chain Burberry that its sales in the three months to 31 December were 'modestly' behind its own internal plans. The seller of the £1600 Medal Studs Warrior handbag saw its shares plunge 16% on the day, and they now sit at a more than two-year low of 405p.

Richemont said its sales in the final three months of 2007 were just 8% ahead at €1.67bn (£1.24bn), which was well below analysts' forecasts of at least doubledigit growth and behind the 11% rise seen in the first half of the group's financial year. More worryingly, once the euro's strength is stripped out, the Swiss-based group's sales for the quarter rose by 14%, but for the key final month of December by just 10%. The sudden slowdown in spending on luxury goods ranging from watches to perfumes and fountain pens to leather goods is a clear signal that the credit crunch is really starting to hurt the affluent as well as the poor.

Even if consumers are not yet being hit in their own pockets, the looming fears of recession, particularly in the US, is making them more wary of splashing out on the unnecessaries of life as sold on Hollywood's Rodeo Drive. Investment bankers are increasingly worried about the prospects for the flotations of Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo, which had been pencilled in for this summer.

Prada, which could be valued at anything up to €5bn, yesterday denied it has set a timetable for a listing on the Milan Stock Exchange, insisting it had not moved on from December's statement that it 'is considering an initial public offering in 2008'. Shoe company Ferragamo has yet to reveal plans for its float but has appointed JPMorgan Chase and Mediobanca as financial advisers. Richemont said it had enjoyed good underlying growth in October and November but that in the final month 'demand in the US and Japan slowed somewhat'.

Richemont, the world's thirdlargest luxury goods firm after LVMH and PPR, follows Tiffany in cautioning that it is seeing a downturn in the US. The American firm saw a 2% fall in sales in the same three months, with a far bigger downturn at Christmas than Wall Street had expected. By contrast, Swatch, the Swiss owner of the Omega and Breguet, posted an 18% rise in sales last year with no apparent sign of a tailing-off. Richemont's US saleswere static in the latest quarter at €327m while those in Japan fell 6% to €215m. The group said its strongest sales, up by mid-double digits, during the quarter were in Asia-Pacific and Europe. European sales were 10% higher at €753m while those in Asia-Pacific rose by 21% to €378m.
