Handbag News, Information, and Trivia

Information and news events concerning handbags including some evidence that the sale of counterfeit purses helped finance the World Trade Center attack.

(PRWEB) January 15, 2005 -- Henrietta's Handbags has just added it's own RSS feed and handbag blog to keep you up to date on recent handbag news events, popular purse designers, and the latest in the world of handbag fashion.

Our information is updated weekly with trivia and news, including the best handbag shape for your body type and how buying fake designer handbags can hurt the economy. So what harm does it do to purchase a fake designer handbag? There are a multitude of reasons to NOT buy knockoffs, beginning with the fact that we, as taxpayers, carry the burder for this tax-free business. According to government sources, 200 billion dollars is approximately the amount that counterfeiters do not pay - this means that honest taxpayers make up the difference! Another reason is organized crime. By purchasing a designer fake handbag, we are supporting illegal activity. There is even some evidence that part of the money for bombing the World Trade Center came from the sale of counterfeit goods. There is also documentation that these purses are made by child laborers in unsafe conditions.

Other articles of interest are a history of handbags from the 14th century to today's designers, how the suit against Google by Louis Vuitton can affect you, a biography of designer Laurel Burch, and information about a new handbag made to smell like grape bubble gum! There's a new concept in handbags that is irrestibly cute and smells good too! This bag is the creation of Mary Swan, who manufactures targets and protective gear for the FBI and has used this technology to make an awesome handbag.

The bag is soft and squishy, resembling egg crate foam. It comes in 6 colors, is anti-bacterial, floats, and can be used as a pillow for long trips.

Each bag smells like grape bubble gum, which is injected during the molding process. The rest of the manufacturing process is a trade secret but we hope to see more of these bags in the future.

Other articles of interest include the psychological aspects of carrying a handbag. Do women bring a purse with them because of some biological need or is it a choice? Did you know that Martha Stewart's former stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, is asking for a new trial based on the fact that jurors talked about Martha's expensive Hermes Birkin handbag?
