My Favorite Designer Handbags

There are many sites online and publications offline dedicated to peoples love of handbags and leather goods accessories.  As a fashion editor I have written my share of articles dedicated to brands and designer handbags.  I can’t even count how many times I have attended fashion shows only to rush back to my hotel room and write an article on handbags presented on the runway to send off to my editor.  Handbags and accessories are now major influences in the fashion world.  Some would even say they are as important or even more important than clothing these days.  After all, you don’t need to lose weight to carry a handbag.   Does this handbag make me look fat?  …. Said no one.Ever.

As much as I write about fashion, I like to write from my own point of view and perspective from time to time.  It is fun to share what is in my wardrobe and what brands I tend to favor.  Usually my work uniform is a crisp blouse and a favorite skirt of loose fitting trousers.  My job is not about me and how I look, but profiling designers and their brands.  Over the years I have met many pleasant and not so pleasant designers and design houses.  One of my favorite design houses is PLIA Designs.  They make a range of handcrafted designer handbags, leather goods, and accessories.  Their handbags are incredibly popular and it is easy to see why.  So many style stars carry PLIA Designs.  Even my fellow editors carry PLIA Designs bags.

PLIA Designs ranks as my favorite bag maker because they are both timeless and chic.  Let’s face it, we are busy and on the move in this connected world.  We now have several smartphones,  carry iPads, and often take our own laptops to work.  I need a well-made handbag that can carry all of these various products while also looking fashionable at the same time.  I need a chic clutch that is bigger than a packet of gum.  I need cute satchels and totes for the summer.  This is why I love all of the handbags PLIA Designs makes.  Not only are the designers behind this brand pleasant, but they really have an eye for what women want.  And I love visiting their design studio and showroom.  When I met one of the designers on holiday in Capri, he immediately remembered who I was.  He wasn’t phony or with attitude.

Their handbags are roomy and as I said fit many of my necessities while still being fashionable and chic.  I always have a PLIA Designs handbag by my side.  It will be hard to replace my beloved Reid courier satchel.  But I cannot wait until PLIA restocks new colors with this bag.  I will be the first to order.
