COTM: For November, Brown, for Thanksgiving!

Paris Hilton's Brown Fendi Spy Bag at eDesignerShopFor October the Color Of the Month was Black, which fit the dark holiday of Halloween. What fits perfectly for November than brown? The leaves are turning brown and when you think of Thanksgiving, you think brown! Brown to many designers have become the new black. It’s versatile, subtle, down to earth and easy to match! Designers and celebrities love brown!

Let’s start with Fendi. Fendi has many shades of brown when it comes to their handbags and wallets. There’s Fendi Chocolate brown, which is a darker brown, but not as dark as Fendi’s Moro brown. We all know Fendi’s original canvas has always been beige/brown. Then then have the lighter browns, including bronze and tan. To the left you can see Paris Hilton carrying her brown Fendi Spy Handbag. It goes well with her black/camo outfit. eDesignerShop has a very similar spy bag to the one she is carrying. It can be Seen here.

Gisele's Brown Prada Handbag at eDesignerShopHere at eDesignerShop, we have a hard time keeping Brown Prada handbags in stock! Every time we get them in, they seem to be gone just as fast. We don’t blame you, Prada in general is extremely hot this year, and celebrities from Gisele (picture to the right)to Katie Holmes are addicted to them. Although we currently don’t have many brown Prada handbags in stock, as we get them, you can see them here.

You can’t be a Balenciaga collector if you dont’ have a Brown Balenciaga Handbag! Balenciaga has creative names for their browns. For the darker brown, it uses Black Cherry. Black Cherry is an extremely unique color that is not used often by other designers. In dim places, others will swear you are carrying a black Balenciaga handbag, but in the sun, as Tori Spelling is doing to the lower left, it looks almost red. Talk about versatile!

As for Tod’s, they have deep roots with the color brown. For darker browns, Tori Spelling's Brown Balenciagathey have a “Chocolate Brown” and for lighter browns, they like the color Camel. I’ve always like the thought of the color Camel because the animal is the perfect representation of the color! And of course, no one enbodied Tod’s Brown Handbags like the late Lady Diana. Tod’s by design are classy and subtle. Below you can see Lady Diana carrying her Camel Tod’s handbag. After her passing, Tod’s appropriately named the bag she is carrying in the picture after her, calling it the Tod’s Lady D Handbag. You can see eDesignerShop’s selection of Lady D Handbags here, including Camel and Chocolate Brown.

So for this Thanksgiving, give yourself the gift of brown. You have plenty of selection at eDesignerShop regardless of the brand. Happy Early Thanksgiving!Tod's Lady D Camel Handbag at eDesignerShop

Balenciaga Wallet Silver Giant Money

I wanted to start with a riddle, but I thought it would sound cheesy.  Well, here it is anyway.  What do you get when you combine storage and style?  You get the Balenciaga Silver Giant Money clutch.  Yes, this is cheesy, but it’s true.  Some of you ladies like to change your wallet often to keep up with new trends while some of you choose utility with one bag that you use for years because it fits your needs to a tee.  Well, this clutch is the best of both worlds.

This season, it’s all about fun and bold colors.  Balenciaga’s giant silver hardware adorns this beauty and the interior features are truly satisfying.  I use the front zip pocket for easy access to my id and some money when I’m going out to happy hour with colleagues after work.  There are 8 credit card slots, which should be plenty…if you have more than that, it’s time to consolidate!  There are 4 money slots to hold money, receipts, and anything else you need.  I love that it’s roomy enough to slip your phone inside and not look bulky.  There’s even a zippered pouch to hold your coins, business cards, and lip gloss.

You just can’t beat luscious Italian leather sporting one of the season’s hottest colors.  Personally, I think the yellow is the best color, but to each her own.  Try pairing this clutch with Balengiaga Twiggy Hangbag in orange…http://www.edesignershop.net/Balenciaga-Handbag-Twiggy-Orange.html.   In any color you chose, this bag will definitely add a bit of dazzle to your wardrobe this season!

There are plenty of colors in gold and silver hardware. To see all the Balenciaga Money Wallets, click here

Mary Kate Olson and her Balenciaga bag!

MaryKate-BalenciagaOK, so it might be Ashley Olson, but look at that bag… Looks very familar to one we have in stock, the Balenciaga Handbag The First Baby Green, which you can see here: http://www.edesignershop.net/Balenciaga-Handbag-The-First-Baby-Green.html

I believe the one she is carrying is the larger version, which is commonly referred to as the Motorcycle Bag. However we are sold out of that color but still have the fabric Black and White one in stock which you can buy here: http://www.edesignershop.net/Balenciaga-Handbag-City-Fabric-White.html

Balenciaga has really become a celebrity favorite over the last few months! To check our our entire Balenciaga inventory, you can check here: http://www.edesignershop.net/Balenciaga_Handbags_s/9.htm

Prada Handbag BR4085 Leather Black / Prada Handbag BR4098 Nylon Black

Prada Handbag BR4085 BlackPrada Handbag BR4098 Black prada handbag, prada purse, prada bag, prada messenger bag, prada backpack, prada leather handbag, wholesale prada, discount prada, discount prada handbag, discount prada bagThis review was originally written for the BR4085 Leather Black, however, it can also be applied to the BR4098, which is almost the same item except in Nylon. See picture for reference.

In the September edition of  Real Simple Magazine, there was an article about the top five “must have” items in your wardrobe.  The items ranged from the classic cut black dress to a tuxedo jacket.  If I had to write a a top five list of “must haves” in a handbag, this Prada BR4085 would have them all.

5.  Pebbled leather.  For those of you who are not in love with Prada’s nylon bags, you’ll love the pebbled leather.  It’s classy, yet understated.  All the women in a meeting will stare at this bag when you walk in and pull out your laptop. (For those who ARE in love with the nylon, the Prada BR4098 is perfect for you!).

is4. Goldtone hardware.  The buckle strap details at the base of handles would not look as luxurious if they were silver.  The most outstanding detail on this handbag is the gold-toned side zippers accented with silver.  I LOVE it. See the Picture to the right.

3.  Zip pocket.  It’s important to have a safe compartment to put your purse.  More importantly, you’ll know exactly where your purse is when you need to pull it out while you’re at the grocery store with a crying baby, nagging husband or even a grouchy cashier. Seen the save time with visa commercials? Well, save time with Prada! :)

2.  Patch pocket. It’s the other pouch on the inside of the bag.  I store my Blackberry in this pocket, you can put your iPhone if you fancy.  It’s easily accessible and has a snap enclosure.

1.  It’s Prada!  Prada, with it’s elegant, yet trendy, handbags are a definite “must have.”

Now how do you decide between the nylon and leather? The leather looks expensive, well, it is, but the nylon is a lot lighter to carry. If you get both, you won’t have to choose!

Care: Dust Bag for More Than Dust

Most handbags, including Prada handbags, Fendi handbags, Balenciaga handbags and so on come with a dust bag. For those that do not, we recommend you put them in a pillow case made out of natural fiber, like cotton. Why do they come with dust bags? The most obvious reason is for a place to store your item when it is “sleeping. This is where the dust bag gets it’s second name; sleeper bag.

Let’s face it, if you are reading this blog, you have more than one handbag. Let’s be honest, you probably have a collection of at least  five to ten, if not up in the hundreds of beautiful handbags! Sitting in the closet, uncovered, your valuable Prada Leather Limited Edition, or your Fendi Spy Bag is not only collecting dust, but the hardware, most likely made out of brass, is getting oxidized and discolored while not in use.

So please, for the sake of your expensive jewels, keep them in a dust bag, or cotton pillow case. Also, stuff your bag if you are planning on storing for more than a few weeks in order to hold it’s form and keep it from forming creases or wrinkles. If possible, try to stuff the items with plastics, like bubble wrap, since it is less likely to attract moths. The last thing you want to find after saving your Balenciaga Giant City  for a special occasion is a bag full of moth eggs!

Also, make sure the item is not stored in direct sunlight or extremely humid conditions. Like a fine wine, it may go up in value and be the envy of the designer world in a few years, but only if you take proper care of it.

Oh, just in case Balenciaga or Prada or any of the other brands forgot something, know that you are covered by eDesignerShop’s one year warranty in case anything goes wrong. You can see our warranty here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/310-Warranty.aspx

Authenticity: 1800-What???

At eDesignerShop we often get customers who call us letting us know they have been scammed by a site that popped up just long enough to take their money. The first question that our customer service reps usually ask is:

“Did you try to call them?”

One of the biggest warning signs that the Prada purse or the Fendi wallet you are about to buy is not authentic is if the “Contact Us” page of the particular website is missing any of the following crucial information:

1) Toll Free Phone Number. You should never have to pay a company to contact them, especially when you are about to spend hundreds of dollars with them. It’s the most basic of customer service to have a toll free number for customers to reach them. In case you were wondering, eDesignerShop’s toll free number is 888-498-1688.

2) Address for where they are located. Are they in the United States? Are they in Canada? Red flags should go up if they are located in China, where most of the knock off items are coming from. You should know where the company you are dealing with is based and ships from. How long before you get your items? In the case of eDesignerShop, we are both based and ship from the Silicon Valley in California. This means even when using Free Economy Shipping, your item will arrive to anywhere in the United States within 5-7 business days. Of course if you are in a hurry, express shipping is available.

3) Being a website, at the very least, anyone selling Balenciaga, Prada, or Fendi should at least have an email address. It would be almost impossible for a website to not have an email address to reach them by. However, you may want to try to email something to see if you get a response. A lot of the scammers never reply to their emails. In the case of eDesignerShop, you can email about a Tod’s handbag you are interested in, or check the inventory of that Leather Balenciaga City you want; we will get back to you within 24 business hours.

Basically any legitimate website should make it as easy as possible for you to contact them. Once you contact them, they should get back to you in a timely manner if they expect you to do business with them. So, before you buy that Prada Leather Handbag from a website you’re not familiar with, DOUBLE CHECK that you can contact them and they will get back to you. Making that phone call or waiting a day for the response email could save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

You can contact eDesignerShop from any of the ways found on our Contact Us Page: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/1-Contact-Us.aspx

COTM August: Green, All Shades, Forrest to Neon

So what is it about the color green? Green is found in many famous references, from “Green Eggs and Ham” to the myth about green M&M’s (this is a G rated blog, so if you don’t know about green M&M’s, you can google about it) and of course the good luck it brings all year round, not just St. Patricks Day. Of course every luxury designer from Prada to Fendi to Balenciaga uses SEVERAL shades of green.

Currently, the winner when it comes to shades of green on eDesignerShop is Balenciaga, with 3. Shades. Baby Green, Apple Green, and Green, which is a darker shade of green:

Balenciaga Green Bags

Balenciaga Green Bag on Katie HolmesIf you like green Balenciaga handbags, you aren’t the only one. Many celebrities are in love with Green Balenciaga handbags also! Here we see Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise with baby Suri matching and looking great with her green Balenciaga handbag. Although Tom and Katie are dressed in very basic black and white colors, green goes absolutely perfect with it!

You Can see all of Balenciaga’s Green bags here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=balenciaga%20green

kate_moss_mulberryHowever, if it comes to the largest number of green bags, Prada is by far the winner. eDesignerShop has almost 20 green items by Prada, which range from handbags to keychains. Kate Moss was recently spotted carrying a Green Prada Bag. The color goes well with her outfit. It stands out, but at the same time, it’s not too flashy.
