Shiny is IN!!!

A few months ago, girls were going bananas for handbags that looked terribly old and raggedy. Like Dennis Rodmans’ constantly changing hair color, fashion is the same exact way. Vintage clothing and accessories which look like they were from the antiquity ages are being sent back in that direction. What’s in right now then? The opposite is in; meaning that the models on the runway are now holding shiny handbags!

Metallics – Metals have always been a beneficial technological development to our society. To our shock, metals now play an important role in our fashion industry too. Shiny metallic handbags are not really made with metal, but rather they are made with either leather or canvas (vinyl). These bags are usually made with a soft-frame structure, allowing the bag to droop and sit naturally on any surface. Both the vinyl and leather are processed with a metallic dye. Upon completion of the dying process, the handbag is then treated and prepped for assembly.

Silver and Gold – These bags are not too bad looking. To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t mind owning that Gucci handbag above. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and vibrant. These bags are also constructed using leather or vinyl and are processed with a solid gold or silver dye. Upon completion of the dying process, a clear gloss coat is applied. From there, it is sent to be prepped for assembly.

Aumbro – These bags are hot! The Aumbro has been the leading winner in our “Fashion Handbags Popularity Contest of 2008.” These purses are individually airbrushed and finished with a clear gloss coat. The fading colors from the airbrush distinguish these bags for being anything than pedestrian. I will let the picture above do the talking. True Beauty!
