Depending on which fashion style or magazine a person subscribes to it is virtually impossible to escape this season's must have. These must have items are often those things which the experts feel define the look of the season and compliment other on trend fashions and are often in the form of accessories such as shoes, jewellery or the handbag.

The Past and Present
Once upon a time a handbag was simply a vessel for the transport of personal items such as money, keys, cosmetics and valuable items. Although Egyptian Hieroglyphics do depict people carrying items in pouches tied to the wrist it wasn't until the 14th Century that they became more common place. Over the last 100 years they have gone from being mainly practical to rather more frivolous and as fashion items rather than the simple means of transportation.

Designer handbags are much loved and coveted with Chloe, Fendi, Totes, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Gucci now synonymous with luxury, class, sophistication and quality. Although it can be difficult, especially when on a tight budget to justify some of the prices available a designer handbag can compliment and lift any outfit and with so many more things for the modern lady to carry than ever before a designer handbag is one of the few luxury items which truly can be used every day.

Imitation
As with any high-end designer good as soon as a product or designer starts to make become more widespread and their work more in demand there is also a demand for the designer look without the designers fee and counterfeited or copied bags are often a way of achieving this. Replica goods are often found available for public sale and have various legalities attached to them.

In addition to the lack of quality and craftsmanship which are often synonymous with the productions of designer goods of any form, there are moral and ethical considerations to purchasing counterfeit goods; the replica goods industry has long been the subject of intense scrutiny over its work practices, staff wages and treatment and the sourcing of material which is used.
