Do you keep up with all the popular designer purse brands?
When there are so many innovative designers there are always new brands to discover. I've gathered together 5 popular purse brands that I think you might not know about - and if you're into designer handbags then you need to check them out.
If you're French, of have ever lived in Francce, then it might surprise you that not everyone knows about Gerard Darel's handbags. They're incredibly popular in Paris and you can spot them everywhere! The brand has already begun expanding, as we can see from its three boutiques in London, and hopefully it will repeat its many successes in France. Gerard Darel bags are on the more affordable end of the designer spectrum, with practical designs that work well for everyday use.
Anya Hindmarch is a very popular British brand, but I don't know how well known it is abroad. The brand is famous for quirky embellishments, such as smiley-faces, but this doesn't put off more mature and conservative dressers from carrying the bags. From experience, I know that Anya Hindmarch bags are a popular choice among office-women as the designs seem very user-friendly. Personally, I'm more attracted to the bright and colourful pieces in Anya Hindmarch's catalogue, with the Pixel range being my favourite.
Kwanpen is a Singaporean brand with retail outlets across the world. The brand is famous for their luxurious exotic leather bags and accessories, which are mainly made from crocodile skin. Kwanpen is increasingly popular, and the brand is slowly expanding westwards and opening new boutiques in major capital cities. Their bags are beautifully made and definitely worth checking out if you've never seen them before!
3.1 Phillip Lim
Famous for the Pashli bag, 3.1 Phillip Lim has a edgy and cool aesthetic. Although it is an undeniably popular brand, it isn't universally known among the women I know. I usually see younger women using the Pashli as a work bag (very cool) or fashionable tourists carrying the mini Pashli cross body. The brand does, however, have many other beautiful designs and I'd love to see more women carrying those!
J.W. Anderson
J.W. Anderson has gained global recognition as the latest creative director of Loewe, a huge Spanish brand based in Madrid. However, amazingly, Anderson also still manages and designs for his own eponymous fashion brand which is based in England. Splitting his time between the two fashion houses, Anderson produces incredible designs for both the brands he manages. J.W. Anderson, the brand, has a small and incredibly cool catalogue of designer bags, with the 'Pierce' bag being a big hit among fashion bloggers.
What popular purse brands do you think more people need to know about?
We often place our handbag on the kitchen counter, a bench, and some even momentarily meet the floor so for hygiene reasons alone, it is not acceptable.
