Glossary about Luxury Handbags

I have to acknowledge that I am always confused by such of these pattern name of luxury handbags. For example, Tote, Hobo, Satchel, Clutch, Bowler, Weekender, Duffle etc. In fact, there are no specific definition among them, even thay are not used clearly by designers. So in the post, I list some pattern name and give a brief definition to them. Hope you can learn something, and choose the pattern what you like.

ToteA tote usually means a hand-hold bag having great capacity and short handles. The open-top one are named to Shopper.Representative: Tod’s D Bag, Anya Hindmarch’s Be A Bag, Celine’s BoogieOthers like Louis Vuitton (LV) Alma, Fendi Docter Bag, Bowler, although are zip-top closure, all of them are parts of Tote.HoboDefinition of it are clear relatively. Generally speaking, its handle and bag body form a round shape, with which gives a comfortable feeling to people. The name can be origined from Hermes Trim in 1958.Representative: Gucci’s Horsebit Hobo, Dior’s Saddle BagHermes TrimSatchelA satchel is a transverse and quadrate bag. There are East/West pattern in luxury handbag, you see.Representative: Marc Jacobs’s Stam, Celine’s Bitterswee, Prada’s Gauffre Antic Satchel.

What’s more, it can be north/south.Drawstring BagIt means a bag of gatherable closure with drawstring. The earlist one is Louis Vuitton’s Noe in 1932. You can not image that it is firstly designed to carry champagne for the convenience of nobility’s travelling. Now, the drawstring become an ornamental item, other than an functional one.Duffel BagDuffel is the name of a thick material. It’s traceable from an Belgian town where produced this kind of material primitively. Duffel today often means a good-sized travelling bag.Representative: Louis Vuitton’s Keepall(the former kind of Speedy)

WeekenderA Weekender bag is just a life style. It has no special pattern, as long as can contain clothes for travelling and some storybook to kill the time, it is Weekender one.Other pattern like Clutch, Backpack, I believe you can understand them easily.
