The History Of Marni Handbags

Marni handbag logo
Marni handbag is an Italian fashion label founded by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994, who has always been the label’ designer. Marni has recently risen to prominence as women have turned away from overtly sexy clothing to designs emphasizing color, print, and shape.The fashion line started in 1994, when Castiglioni became known for her contributions to the design of fur,stemming from her husband’s family fur business.At that moment, fur was at its most unpopular and typically designed in an old-fashioned manner, but Castiglioni instead treated it as a normal fabric to make modern, wearable clothing.Her fashion line, which is named after her sister Marni, grew as her customers needed something to wear under or with their fur.
Today, the company produces a full array of ready-to-wear clothing, handbags, jewelry, and eyewear.Marni has recently changed from “a well-kept secret among like-minded aesthetes to a label followed for its own sake.”Jenna
Lyons, senior vice president of women’s design for J.Crew, attributes Marni’s rise to the “post-Tom Ford era,”saying that women are lately being bold through color, print, and shape rather than through overt sex appeal and are dressing more for other women than for men.For Fall 2007, Marni produced its first line of men’s clothing and caused a minor splash by including leggings as standalone bottoms for men.
Castiglioni, who has always been the label’s chief designer,is responsible for Marni’s aesthetic of “European-inflected bohemianism.”Other descriptors that have been applied to Marni designs include “quirky,” “feminine,” “off-beat,” and “funky.”Early design features included idiosyncratic prints and vintage-inspired shapes and fabrics; Marni has retained these elements but has become more streamlined.Other Marni hallmarks include juxtapositions of texture; colorblocking; a palette focused on gray, beige, and blue, in which bright colors are interspersed; and unusual shapes, such as bell hemlines, gathering, asymmetry, and large volumes.In general, Marni’s women’s clothing resonate more with female customers than with men, who do not find the clothes sexy.

Loewe logo
The story of Loewe handbags go back to 1846, with the establishment of a skin workshop on Lobo street (later Echegaray Street) in central Madrid. In 1872, Enrique Roessberg Loewe, a German craftsman, arrived in Madrid and became associated with the leather shop. Twenty years later, in 1892, E. Loewe was ubiquitous in the streets of Madrid, with a large poster
staking his claim and marking an entire era. It was then that the firm began to become known among the general public.
In 1905, when Enrique Loewe Hilton was at the head of the house of Loewe(cheap Loewe handbags ), King Alfonso XII gave the family business the title of Supplier to the Royal House. Five years later, in 1910, Loewe opened its first store in Barcelona. It was not until 1923 that Loewe began to open other stores in the capital, a process that began with
the opening of an establishment at 7 Barquillo street. In 1934, Enrique Loewe Knappe took over the company. There followed years of expansion, with successive store openings, including the one at 8 Gran Vía, Madrid, in 1939. This property remains in the traditional style today.
In 1945 the designer Pérez de Rozas created models of bags in boxcalf, which soon became the brand’s signature product. In 1959 Loewe opened a shop in Serrano street in Madrid, which completely altered the stereotype of luxury items. In 1963 Loewe began its international expansion, opening a store in London.
In the ’70s, Loewe created a fashionable prêt-a-porter women’s line, and designed its first handkerchiefs. That same year Vincent Sailing created the classic Loewe monogram, recognizable to this day. The brand’s first scent was launched in 1972 under the name L Loewe. The following year Loewe opened its first store in Japan, beginning its strong expansion in Asia.
In 1974 the Ante-Gold Collection appeared, designed by Dario Rossi, and marking a new era. The following year the scent Loewe Loewe pour homme was launched, which quickly became the market leader. In 1979 the Napa collection appeared, designed by Renzo Zengiaro, and the old concept of an ‘armed’ handbag was replaced by a bag almost without structure. In 1985 the scent Air Loewe was launched, which became a market leader and even today remains one of the most popular in the Spanish market. In 1986 the first Loewe Man store was opened, in Serrano street in Madrid.
In 1987 Loewe reached an agreement with the luxury goods group LVMH to strengthen the international expansion of the firm. Also this year the scent “Esencia de Loewe” was launched. In 1988 the Loewe Foundation was created. This foundation, led by Enrique Loewe, set up an annual International Poetry Prize. In 1996 Loewe celebrated its 150th anniversary, on the same date as the previous purchase by the LVMH(Louis Vuitton Handbags) group.
The History Of Goyard Handbags

Goyard Handbags
Goyard handbag is a lesser known brand than its French brothers, Hermes and Louis Vuitton, but its name rings among the most exclusive brands in the world. But why?Goyard started as a trunk maker in 1853 (a year before Louis Vuitton, but seventeen years after Hermes).
Goyard was the malletier of many aristocratic famililies in France, creating bags according to their royal colors from their crests. Goyard also claims to have created the first office suitcase (la malle bureau en francais).Their well-known motif is a three-dimensional pattern, known as the chevron (first appearing in 1892), and is painted in four colors. The material is a cotton, linen and hemp blend that’s coated with gum arabic resin – this results in a super thin, lightweight, and waterproof material.
The brand fell into obscurity, until Barney’s featured it in their window in the early 2000’s. Today, people pay extra money on top of the $1000 and up prices to have their initials, a crown, or stripes of every color embellished on their own personalized bag.You can find them only at twelve stores in the world, including Takashimaya (Japan), Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys (US), the Peninsula (Hong Kong), Daslu (Brazil) and Maison Goyard itself (in France, or the flagship in San Francisco). But as anyone in the streets of NYC (or the auctions of eBay) will tell you, yes, there are floods of fakes out there. Buyer beware when not buying from an authorized seller.
