Their popularity is increasing and this is reinforced by the peoples who seem to be snagging of the crocodile handbag.

She now works with trendy designer Stephane Verdino. result? This sublime model gold ostrich. A real bullion (in lighter!), Trendy without being banal.

The Hermes Birkin is the classic brand. It was first introduced in 1984 and named after British actress Jane Birkin, on the initiative of creating this model more practical than the bag Top belts. The Birkin bag is available in an almost infinite number of combinations of several hundreds of colors with many types of hides and skins available. The model most prestigious is the Birkin Crocodile & Diamond, a bag of skin is composed of saltwater crocodiles. The croc bag is encrusted with diamonds for a total of fourteen carat. The Birkin crocodile bag and Diamond is found exclusively in Hermès stores worldwide.

The crisis is not for everyone. Hermes sees the waiting list of Hermes handbags in crocodile skin. With over 3,000 crocodile bags manufactured annually, it is no longer sufficient to meet current demand. “For some skins, the waiting list is about three years in Europe to seven years in Japan where the customer is requesting.” Said CEO Patrick Thomas House Luxury at the Reuters Summit.

To overcome a shortage, Hermes will recruit between 50 and 100 skilled workers in the leather work in France (noting that currently there are 200 – Sacred progression).

But Hermes does nothing but increases its production capacity, we must also think of the raw material itself, and it is interesting.
Since it takes a considerable number of skins for one crocodile bag – between 3 and 4 of crocodile skins – the company decided to embark on breeding of crocodiles in Australia!
Raising crocodiles is expensive: animals whose mortality rate is high before maturity, should be separated from each other to avoid bites harmful to their health and quality of their skin.

I found all this mythical have to raise its own crocodile, which is a job well apart and complex to meet the demand of fashionista! It’s like if we had to raise his sheep to knit a sweater.

In any case, this confirms to me that Hermes is one of the last true large luxury brands. Not Made in China, that the hand made in France by skilled artisans and attention to detail and quality that are unfortunately often sacrificed to the margin.

If you’ve had the feeling that fashion shows this year have looked like everything “old” is new again – you’re absolutely right! Designer clothing has turned to the decade of the 1980s for this season’s inspiration.

Fashion mavens say these are the top trends for this year’s designer clothing:

It’s The ’80s Again!

Designers have chosen to look back almost 30 years for this year’s clothing influences. Expect to see lots of neon colors in both women’s and men’s shirts, along with velvet bustiers for evening wear and dresses with poufy skirts and sleeves.

The Cocoon Coat Is Back

Look for women to appear like giant butterflies as the cocoon coat with its wing-shaped design makes its cyclical reappearance. This style is not for every woman; those with a long, lean shape carry it off best.

Gray and Black Dominate the Scene…

However, anyone can wear another very sophisticated trend of the season: lots and lots of layers of gray and black. One of the great advantages to a wardrobe of designer clothing built around this trend is that you’ll never have to worry that everything coordinates!

& So Do Pink and Chartreuse

Two bold colors are this season’s fashion focus: pink and chartreuse, but not together, thankfully. Neon pink – shocking pink, fuschia, coral pink, you name – was seen on runways in dresses, shirts, skirts and accessories. Chartreuse likewise lit up catwalks from Milan to New York, especially in silk dinner suits and blouses. While chartreuse can be a tricky color for some women because of their complexions, there’s usually a shade of bold pink that works for anyone. Shop until you find it.

Controversial Fur- Should you or Shouldn’t you?

Another designer clothing trend this year appears chic, but it’s also quite controversial. Designers are using lots of fur – real fur – both for decoration and for entire outfits. Animal-rights activists are sure to protest, so you might want to opt for fake fur on your outfits, especially if you’re on a budget.

Let the Shoulders Dominate

Designers also seem to think that the shoulder is the sexiest body part for this season. Some tops and dresses looked as if they were unfinished because of the number of slits, slashes and cutouts seen on fashion models. Expect cold shoulders if opting for this design.

If shoulders aren’t exposed this year, they’re likely to be padded or extended well enough to look like an American football linebacker. Yes, the big-shoulder look is back, and we mean big, bigger, biggest. Some of these broad-shoulder designer clothing styles also have pointy ends, so be careful not to pierce any passers-by.

Go Metallic

Metallics have been popular over several seasons recently, and this year they’ll be seen more in the daytime. Many designer outfits paired shiny shirts with gray pants, or sequined dresses or skirts with gray coats. The neutral gray color seems to give metallics even more shine and sparkle. Handbags and shoes also retain recently popular metallic finishes.

Get out those Thigh High Boots

There’s another echo from the ’80s that might cause some women to dig their old Thighmasters out of the closet: thigh-high boots! Naturally paired with short skirts, this designer clothing trend was seen most often in warm tan or caramel-colored leather.

Top it All Up in Style!

Finally, the accessory of the season: Hats, hats, and more hats. They range from demure cloches to wide brims and tall pillars that resemble a science-fiction alien’s costume. Hats also reflect many of the season’s other style trends: bold neon colors, animal prints, a touch of real fur and sophisticated gray and black combinations.

Gucci watches are a perfect supplement to the Gucci brand. As accessories that everyone carries at some part of his or her life watches presents a big market opportunity for a company that is well known for its high standards of quality and unique design ideas.

Apart form being perfectly able to work correctly a watch needs an exceptionally distinctive design to become a part of a brand’s family that is recognized as a symbol of luxury and style. Both of these conditions are met in the new Gucci watches collection.

As a continuous mark for a high class style Gucci’s decision to enter the watches market is not a surprise. It fits well in the company view of life and development.

The new directors of Gucci manage to make the watches collections at least as well known and loved by the modern people as they succeeded to make with the Gucci bags in the last century.

The Gucci watches come in various colors like blue, metallic, white, black, yellow, red, purple. In most of the cases these are colors of the watches straps and the watches dials are mainly black, white or brown. There are however also blue and purple dials. All the watches are Swiss made and come with two years warranty. Water resistance is a common feature and not a luxury. Some are decorated with sapphire crystals and diamonds. The brand sells automatic and quartz watches.

In its collection Gucci watches present both woman and man watches with distinctive designs associated with the brand. The collection stays on track with the new material used in the Gucci handbags – crocodile leather. The strap of a man’s watch in the product list is made of crocodile leather and the watch itself is decorated with 18kt pink cold case. Like that one all the watches have various luxury decorations like precious stones, gold or silver cases, anti-reflective coating, etc. The Gucci icons like the famous GG logo is engraved on the back of some of the watches or the straps are made of the patented GG fabric.
