The new Fendi handbags designed by Karl Lagerfeld are in two opposing themes, vintage and futuristic. Karl used lots of wispy, lingerie influenced fabric to cover many of the Fendi bags. Wood handles are applied on many materials from linen with a flower-embroidered edge to needlepoint. The combination of wood handles and fabric give an elegant and vintage look, yet some wood handles come together with a strip of transparent Perspex adding a futuristic touch. Peek a Boo Fend bag was shown off in variations including snake skin and embroidery. Another Perspex Fendi purse is completely transparent. It was modeled empty, and any stuff put inside will ruin its beauty. In a word, the new line of Fendi handbags has gorgeous and novelty appeal, but not practical enough for daily use.

Shooting star Birkin

Will you keep a shooting star Birkin? Generally, a shooting star is a mark on Hermes Birkin or other Hermes bags meaning only craftsmen are permitted to own. Because these Hermes handbags are not for sale, Hermes won’t refurnish or repair them. I personally think it is pretty cool having a shooting star to complete Hermes collection. It will become a vintage item after years and maybe it will get serviced. “Shooting star” Birkin Hermes bag has a stamp of a shooting star shape adjacent to the “Hermes, Paris Made in France” stamp. The stamp is in gold or silver to match the hardware. Unusually, the stamp may be “blind” or colorless when the bag is made out of one or two of the specific types of leathers on which Hermes does not use metallic stamping. A craftsman is offered a limit of one per year, and the bags are only for personal use or personal gifts. It is against Hermes policy for a craftsman to sell his or her shooting star Hermes handbag. Any one of such bags brought to the stores for spa will expose the craftsman because his/her stamp is on the bag too.
