Unfortunately, IT'S IN THE BAG

Tano Handbags - The best "it" bag your money can buy!

By Debbie Salomon

First, a primer on purses. Unlike other fashion accessories purses serve a purpose while telling a story. The purpose: a portable repository for money and other stuff. The story: women responsible for necessities carry big ones while ladies accompanied by a guy pocketing the car keys, coins, credit cards, handkerchief, pen and LifeSavers get away with a slim little bag for a lipstick, comb and a couple of twenties.

The latest, however, are satchel-sized and weighed down with bling. They are the SUVs of handbags. Not even the mother of twin toddlers needs a bag that big. Empty, they are heavy. Full, they are free weights. Pricewise, the leather ones are outrageous, and cheaper synthetics -- made from fossil fuels, no doubt -- scream fake or some designer's initials, perfect for the I'm-worth-it-look-at-me generation.

Like I said, gas-guzzling Hummers driven by the single parent of 1.2 children who defines off-road as the soccer field parking lot.

Yet their oversize states something else. A woman's needs have changed. She can no longer leave home without a cell phone, sunscreen, water bottle, meal-replacement bar, key ring clacking with preferred customer chips, appointment calendar (electronic or manual), sunglasses, designer reading glasses, Soup-to-Go, hair brush, make-up, ATM card, picture IDs and more.

These bags intended for daytime use despite being gold, pewter, bronze or zebra are secured with shiny metal and rhino-proportioned rhinestones, as if designed for contestants on "Dancing With the Stars," that wildly popular show that diverts American sensibilities from Iraq, global warming and the imminent recession, as did bejeweled flappers dancing the Charleston on the eve of the Great Depression. Their colors -- chrome yellow, azure blue, chive green, magenta, dead white are not intended to match any outfit other than candidate Hillary Clinton's famous suit jackets. Similar colors are worn by Queen Elizabeth II so she can be seen by adoring crowds who at least have universal health care.

Credit the queen and Clinton for keeping color where it counts.

I do see the gaudiness aiding law enforcement: a purse-snatcher wouldn't get far before being apprehended. Nor would a shoplifter.

But personality remains the major roadblock to carrying (off) these objects. I don't have the nerve to show up at the supermarket at 7 a.m. with a bird of paradise draped over my shoulder. I am small, they are big. I am plain, they are fancy. I am frugal, they are exorbitant.

Actually, they are ugly.

They are also desperate. In more secure times, fashion reverts to classics: fine-grained soft leather in natural hues drawstring pouches, envelopes with narrow straps and elegant hardware, satin clutches for evening and awning-striped canvas for July. But today, the tendency is eat, drink and buy wild things for tomorrow we are foreclosed.

Nevertheless, I am not carrying rope-entangled military camouflage or hot-pink faux-croc with chain-link accents and a silver lining, no matter how dark the gathering clouds. And I doubt anybody else will, this time next year.

Victoria's square deal for a £2,500 handbag

TANO handbags 3603 mona lethal designer handbag leather designer purse

from belfast telegraph
So, the long wait is over at last and to great hype, as well as assorted oohs and aahs from members of Belfast's new glitterati (yeuch), Victoria Square has finally opened for business.

We now have the following 'shops' at our disposal:

- A large English based department store whose main boast seems to be the fact that they have the largest selection of 'designer' handbags costing hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of pounds.

- Another three mobile phone shops to go with the existing 11 that we already have in the Royal Avenue/Donegall Place area alone.

- Yet another baseball cap/trainer shop.

- Numerous designer clothes shops selling £50 T-shirts to young people too stupid and peer-pressured to know any better.

- A teddy bear shop - just in case the people of Belfast haven't got enough dust gatherers in their homes already.

Apparently, one of the handbags on sale costs £2,500. What kind of vain and stupid person would pay £2,500 for a handbag? More importantly, perhaps someone could explain to me why Belfast is somehow better off by the fact that we have a centre selling such items. All this has left me with a strange sense of nostalgia for 1970s Belfast. Ok, things may have been a bit grim and we didn't have very many shops, but at least those we did have sold things that the average person wanted to buy and was able to afford. So, come back Woolworths, LeisureWorld (now that was a toyshop), Anderson & McAuleys, C&A etc - all is forgiven!

Beautiful Authentic Designer Handbags

TANO designer handbag 3724 obama mama large leather shoulder bag tote designer purse brown

Published by vivbag

Imagine buying your dream bag, the purse you have wanted for so long, now you want to show off this beauty to your friends. They are all excited and a bit jealous, however someone notes that your handbag is not the real deal. Now all your friends are walking around with authentic designer handbags and you are stuck with a cheap replica and worst of all you paid a lot of money for it. These days you have to be careful and make sure you get the accessories you paid for.

The easiest and safest would be to buy the handbag from an authorized dealer. If these places would not sell authentic designer handbags a lot of people would be complaining and problems would follow, you have to remember these companies have to maintain their reputation and good ethics.

You can always visit the retail outlets, but lets be honest it is easier and much more convenient to visit a website which carries a large number of designer goods, than the exhausting ordeal of you running through all these stores, hunting down the perfect bag that is in fashion. The same rule applies to the websites; just make sure they have a good reputation.

There are a lot of woman who visit eBay to find a good deal on that special authentic designer handbag. The problem is that you cannot decide authenticity from a picture and why would someone sell a designers handbag for less than retail price, wouldn’t they be making a loss?

If you are new to shopping for designer handbags rather stay away from eBay, because this is where a lot of uninformed women get shammed. There are some good and honest deals; however determining authenticity is difficult, because some of the replicas are very similar to the authentic bags, sometimes even for the more informed ladies.

In general you should inspect the handbag and have a look inside and outside for any flaws, like uneven stitching, a residue of glue, irregular spacing of the designer logo, if it is leather smell the bag and if you sense a chemical smell its fake, authentication cards are also replicated so this offers no proof.

At the end it would be best avoiding situations where you are not hundred percent sure and only buy from reputable places. It is wonderful having real authentic designer handbags which are in fashion, thus take your time and make an informed decision, because you want what you pay for.

Who will you be wearing? At Handbags Boutique we have a range of Designers Handbags which will add luxury and style to your wardrobe. We know what an important role Authentic Designer Handbags play in a woman’s life.

TANO Handbags & Purses are the rage!

Our new addiction is "Tano Handbags and Purses" and expressed by this blog, it's no secret. We love Tano leather bags. In today's handbag world, prices are out of this world! But, Tano remains affordable and very desirable. The average cost of a high-end designer purse these days is about $3000. The average cost of a Tano Italian leather handbag is about $170. Compare apples to oranges and all you are paying for in a $3000 bag is the name. Of course quality and workmanship are somewhat better, but in the long run, the price you pay for a Tano handbag is well worth the investment.

Designer Handbags: A Woman's Best Friend

Tano Handbag style 3539

by Remoov

A woman is never alone. She always has her handbag with her. In fact, a woman shouldn’t be without her handbag, ever. The handbag has a long and interesting story to tell. It might have started off as a convenient way of carrying things around, but it is now one of the most important elements of a woman’s attire. A handbag dignifies a lady. It is usually her signature. Something she can easily flaunt. And obviously the best handbags to shoe-off are designer handbags.

Designer handbags come in all shapes and sizes. They may be the weirdest looking or maybe the cutest, but they are always stylish. Prada handbags are considered to be something without which a modern stylish lady is incomplete. It’s something not for the faint-hearted. They portray a very dynamic and bold image.

On the other hand Gucci handbags are usually considered very graceful and they compliment a mature and elegant look. But don’t mistakenly think that its for old ladies only. Charm is not restricted by age. So Gucci handbags are for everyone. They are timeless in their own right.

But its not always when everyone has to be elegant, or bold. There should be something for the sporty types. And for all such people, Prada sport bags are the best choice. Trend, glamour, dynamism it’s all there.

Blog Editor's Comment: Prada, Gucci, Fendi, and all the high-end designer handbags come with a hefty price tag, too. If you want to be in style and still stay within budget, look at the Tano Handbags available at ValueBags and BrandsBoutique. Tano handbags are affordable and made of Italian leathers. They range in price, style, size and color. A picture of one of the latest Tano Handbag designs is photographed above. Price? Under $200.

Our love for Tano Handbags

Tano handbags have been around for a very long time. If you want to read the history of the Tano company visit http://www.i-GlobalMall.com. There are many articles and details posted there with pictures of Tano's beginnings. It's an exciting evolution. Many of us witness the growth and transformation the Tano company has made over the past 20-30 years.

We love Tano handbags because they are versatile, multi-functional, made extremely well and affordable. Aside from all the obvious practical reasons we love Tano purses, a Tano bag is made of Italian leather and available in a variety of sizes and colors.

The photo above is a perfect example of style, design, functionality and affordability. Tano makes their designer handbags from a variety of Italian leather styles. The above bag is made from a distressed light weight leather. It is characteristic of many of the Tano bags available, roomy, fully lined and lots of extra pockets for storage.

Tano makes most of their handbags with shoulder length straps for everyone to carry. They also make them with handles or extra straps to carry the bag in a variety of different ways. The bag photographed has two removable and adjustable straps making it easy to carry on the shoulder, across the body or in hand.

The designers at Tano keep the active woman in mind. Each collection features purses of all styles, sizes, shapes and colors. If you's like to see more Tano Handbags at very affordable prices click here.
