WIDELY ACCEPTED

I have always been interested in different cultures and their social lives in various parts of the world.  It was about two years ago when Japanese fashion began to emerge even more and caught my attention.  The Japanese-influenced fashion style is very feminine, fun, and flirty where as in California it is very typical to sport some casual wear with jeans and a t-shirt.

So I was in Little Tokyo, downtown L.A. and bought a Japanese fashion magazine.  I couldn’t stop raving to my friend about how much I love their fashion and quirky yet fun outfits.  He then tells me that it’s too bad that people in the U.S. are not as open to that style as over in Asia. I nodded my head in agreement and kept flipping the pages. Then I noticed many of the models in the Japanese magazines are also modeling numerous designer handbags.  They’re the same ones that I see people in the U.S are carrying.  They were flaunting brands such as Coach, Gucci, and Prada.

That brought me to realize that even though clothing fashion may be different in other countries, designer handbags are widely accepted and will always be in fashion.
