The Best Bags Ever ...
What makes a designer bag one of the best? There are a lot of elements that go into the mix ... you could say it's rather like a good package. There's the designer and his reputation along with good design and celebrity exposure. Excellent leather and exotic materials coupled with the finest craftsmanship are important. I personally like the extras from embossed hardware to chainlink straps, fringe, flaps, sometimes a pom-pom or two ... you know the bells and whistles without overdoing it. This past season the roomy, oversized satchel has been hot along with patent leather! As you can see, there are a lot of factors that make a bag one of the best. It's rather like magic!
In this lens, you will see some of the very BEST BAGS by their respective designer brands. Just how many designer brands can you think of that have sported their very own signature logos? Actually, quite a few! OK, which do you think are the most popular? To give you a little "hint" of the designer brands that made the BEST BAGS list, see if you can find their logo in the logo popcorn picture shown here!

Louis Vuitton
IMHO, Louis Vuitton is the ONE bag that has achieved the most "exposure" in that you can go to any local mall and see many women AND girls of all ages carrying one of their bags, whether authentic or not so authentic. Again, I've had the pleasure to travel to Paris to the actual LV store and see their bags in person. I don't yet own one. LV probably has the most recognizable signature logo tan and brown bags around.

It is a division of the French holding company, LVMH Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy S.A.

Many of the company's products utilize the signature brown Damier and Monogram Canvas materials, both of which were first used in the late 19th century.

Prada
OK, talking about the Prada brand ... I have an Italian girlfriend in New Jersey who carries an authentic black leather Prada bag. She gets oodles of compliments on it and she loves it. In addition to having great classic bags, Prada has an array of other captivating styles that it's tough to pick just one. I like the dome bowler as it's a new take on the YSL muse bag--a style I adore!
Prada, S.p.A. is a well-known Italian fashion company (also known as a "label" or "house") with retail outlets worldwide. The company, originally known in Italy as "Prada Brothers", was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada in Milan. In 1978, Mario's granddaughter Miuccia Prada inherited what was still a leather goods business from her grandfather, and led the company's expansion into couture with an overall more bohemian style. Miu Miu is a second line of clothing, often simpler and evoking a continual image of high-end vintage items. It was followed by the Prada Sport 'Linea Rossa'. Currently Prada is considered one of the most influential clothing designers in the fashion industry.

Tod's
J.P. Tod's may not be the first brand that comes to mind when searching for a top designer bag, but it does deserve mention for a great mid-price bag. In particular, the Charlotte bag is so stylish and practical.
Tod's Group is an Italian company which produces shoes and other leather goods, and presided over by businessman Diego Della Valle. It is famous for its driving shoes and D-bag. The family started the shoemaking business out of a basement in the late 1920s. The family expanded the workshop and turned it into a factory by Doro who also started manufacturing shoes for American department stores in the 1970s. The son of the owner, Diego, brought in innovative marketing strategies in the early 1980s, kept the handmade manufacturing process and went on to create brands of lifestyle named Tod's, Hogan and Fay.

Versace
I've been a fan of Italian-made designer handbags for quite a while. The Versace brand has that pop culture appeal with the fun "Snap Out of It" designer bag.
Gianni Versace S.p.A. is an Italian clothier founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. After Gianni Versace was killed by Andrew Cunanan on July 15, 1997, his sister Donatella Versace, formerly vice-president, stepped in as creative director of the designing of Versace and his older brother Santo Versace became CEO.
The first Versace boutique was opened in Milan's Via della Spiga in 1978, (though the Versace family are from Reggio Calabria) and its popularity was immediate. Today, Versace is one of the world's leading international fashion houses. Versace designs, markets and distributes luxury clothing, accessories, fragrances, makeup and home furnishings under the various brands of the Versace Group.

- No, I don't carry a designer bag. I love Roots leather bags though but they're a brand rather than a designer.
