Authentic Designer Handbags

Let’s face it, for the average person, it’s not feasible to own a multitude of handbags, purses, and accessories from brands like Prada, Gucci, and Burberry. But we all have the right to indulge now and then. When choosing the piece you want, be sure to purchase something practical with a classic look. Sometimes designer brands make seasonal pieces or pieces that have a certain edgy fashion look that doesn’t look great after a year or two. When you only make one or two purchases in the period of a few years, choose a timeless piece with a more practical function and feel.

You’ll be happy with your selection when people are still commenting on your gorgeous accessory a couple years after you bought it! In addition, you can save a lot of money and still look great by keeping it in good condition. Add a Prada purse to your wardrobe and wait for your friends and family members to shower you with compliments.

The man behind the great designer handbags

Jacobs attended the High School of Art and Design in New York City and graduated in 1981. He lived in Teaneck, New Jersey with his mother, sister and younger brother, and attended Teaneck High School. At fifteen, Jacobs worked as a stockboy at Charivari, an avant-garde clothing boutique in New York City. From there, Jacobs entered the Parsons School of Design in New York City. During his tenure at Parsons, Jacobs won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award in 1984 and in the same year was also awarded the Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble Award and the Design Student of the Year Award.

While still at Parsons, Jacobs designed and sold his first line of hand-knit sweaters. He designed his first collection for Reuben Thomas, Inc., under the Sketchbook label. Following his studies at Parsons, Jacobs began to design at Perry Ellis (Ellis had recently died, so he wasn’t there). Jacobs became prominent on the fashion scene when he designed a “grunge” collection for Perry Ellis, leading to his dismissal in 1993. With Robert Duffy, Jacobs formed Jacobs Duffy Designs Inc., which continues to this day. In 1986, backed by Onward Kashiyama USA, Inc., Jacobs designed his first collection bearing the Marc Jacobs label. In 1987 Jacobs was the youngest designer to have ever been awarded the fashion industry’s highest tribute, The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent.
