Handbag clear out

With Christmas coming up its time to clear and clean out the wardrobes to make way for our new gifts and clothes that we receive every year.  Christmas is the time to give to others and its certainly not about receiving, so why not do something this special for people who are less fortunate than ourselves and try and make someone else's Christmas special.

This year instead of throwing away the unwanted Christmas gifts from last year or the handbags that haven't been used for a while, why not give them to charity or have a car boot to raise money for charity to donate so it helps to make sure that no one goes without a Christmas dinner this year.  Christmas is the time of the year that we spend too much money, eat and drink too much while spending time with family and loved ones, we tend to forget about the people that are less fortunate than ourselves so lets give back to the community and its simply done but help raising money or even buying an extra gift and donating it to charity.

So this year when all you lovely ladies receive your new designer handbags have a think do you really need all the other ones that are just lying there in the wardrobe, this new handbag that you have just received will take pride of place on your arm for the next few months so why not give an extra one of your handbags to charity.  Its nice to be nice ladies!!!  Check out the local charities nearby and give as much as you can please, everyone deserves a nice Christmas!!!!

SALES!!!!!!!!

 

So the questions is when is the best time to treat ourselves to a new handbag, now or wait to the sales??

With Christmas around the corner the panic is on to make sure we get everything on our family and loved ones Christmas lists but are we better to bid our time and hit the January sales instead, do we get more value for money if we wait or do we need the actual gift to open on the 25th December this is the question? What do we think ladies??

Personally I like to open my presents on Christmas day like everyone else, but if there is a chance I could maybe get 2 gifts if I waited a few extra days then I would rather wait,  I hate paying few price and waiting in enormous queues when as soon as it becomes the 25th December all the queues die down and nearly everything is reduced.

Waiting a few extra days sometimes isn't possible I know, especially when there is young kids involved, cant say to the kids oh Santa is coming later to us this year than all the rest of the kids!!! That would go down like a lead balloon but for adults this is do-able as a small gift to open Christmas day then sales afterwards can result in value for money.  A lot of the sales used to start Boxing day but now shops are starting sales earlier  with some shops even starting sales a week before Christmas.  The times are changing especially with most peoples shopping being done online now especially with guaranteed free delivery or fast track next day delivery.

So Girls that designer handbag that we really want, is it worth while waiting a few extra days to see if its reduced and we could possible get a nice small bargain of maybe even buy one get one free??  Personally I think so but what do you think???

Louis Vuitton

 

Louis Vuitton handbags are expensive but quality is unbelievable, you get what you pay for. For 6 consecutive years (2006 - 2012) LV was named the worlds most luxury brand,  So the question is ladies, what Louis Vuitton item are we going to ask for this year??

Louis Vuitton was a French entrepreneur and designer whose name is well recognised and well known in the fashion world.  Louis was born on 4th August 1821 in France and made his first career  move in 1854 as  trunk maker.  According to a Millward Brown 2010 study, Louis Vuitton is the worlds 29th most valuable brand, the brand itself is estimated to ne worth over US$19 billion.

Louis Vuitton is a well known designer brand and the LV monogram appears on most of the LV products ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to ready to wear shoes, watches, jewellery, accessories and sunglasses.  In 1896 Georges (Louis Vuitton son) created the famous Louis Vuitton monogram to respond to copying of brand patterns, featuring diamonds, circles and flowers to distinguish the brand.
To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the monogram canvas in 1996, LV brand invited selected designers to create unique pieces of luggage.

On the 27th February 1892, Louis Vuitton sadly passed away but he had continued to work right up to his death.   His son was determined that the brand would not die with his father so has carried on the image and it has remained the luxury leather and lifestyle brand it remains today.
