Designer handbags are here to stay. They are of the moment and super
popular. I don’t see them losing
momentum anytime soon. In fact they are
so engrained in our society now that we look to see what handbags celebrities
are carrying. Stars like Kim Kardashian,
Rhianna, Reese Witherspoon, and Jennifer Aniston provide a runway worthy show
on a near weekly basis showing off their designer handbags. In a way it’s similar to a peacock show its
feathers. Fashion magazines and weekly
glossies dedicate much of their magazines to designer handbags and what bags
are popular now. Their stories highlight
prices across all ranges. They also show
an abundance of images. These types of
stories and photographs draw the reader in.
I love highlighting designer handbag labels. Many of the designers behind the lines are so
incredibly interesting. The New York
Times this week profiled the designers behind PLIA Designs. They stated they became obsessed with
handbags from the time they were children.
All of the handbags carried by their grandmother’s and mothers left a
big imprint on their future. Both went
on to study design and fashion. It was
several years ago that they both met in NYC and decided to set up an
accessories label together. PLIA Designs
is an incredibly luxurious line of designer handbags, satchels, purses, and
leather goods. They are well known,
especially within the fashion world.
Many people outside of the fashion world adore their handbags, too. I’ve spotted PLIA Designs handbags in cities
around the globe.
After reading this major article in the NYT, I contacted
PLIA’s PR team and asked if I may set up an interview of my own. Luckily they would be in the city a few more
days. I was invited to meet them in two
days at the café of their hotel. Even
though I’d read and heard that they are kind people, I was really surprised
when I met them in person. They are both
anassuming and very down to earth. Not
down to earth in a fashion way, but down to earth in a sweet and kind way. Nothing about them seemed forced or fake and
phony. During our conversation we
touched on many things. They showed me a
sketch pad of new designs.
This week in designer handbags I was happy to interview the
forces behind PLIA Designs. I especially
loved hearing how they take time to make each interior just as exquisite and
nice as the exterior. My interview ended
well and I look forward to writing more about this handbag line. PLIA Designs makes an exceptional line of
designer handbags.
