Patchwork Handbags – That Aren’t Coach-Inspired

Who says that Coach-inspired handbags are a bad thing? They’re not, but, considering one of the more recent trends regarding patchwork handbags, Coach and Coach-inspired handbags are everywhere. Fortunately, other brands are looking at this trend, including Balenciaga, which we’ve seen a bit of on this blog. One of Balenciaga’s patchwork handbags can be seen on Claudia Schiffer under the link. While the patchwork style doesn’t appear much different than other patchwork handbags we’ve seen, some differences are notable. Mainly, no material displaying the brand’s name is to be found and all bold colors are used in smaller pieces.

The difference between a low-end designer brand like Coach and a high-end designer handbag like Balenciaga is the pervasiveness of the monogram. Nearly all Coach handbags, including their patchwork designs, include their brown-on-brown monogram pattern. They’re not the only designer brand that does this, however. The Louis Vuitton bag seen on Jessica Simpson a few weeks ago is also guilty of the same thing. Nevertheless, this patchwork Balenciaga bag doesn’t stoop low enough to include a monogram material and, in fact, all materials used for this patchwork style are uniform. The bag itself focuses on the combination of colors resulting from the patchwork – not cramming in five to ten different materials on the same bag.

As Balenciaga handbags can cost a few months’ worth of rent, where would you find a more affordable look? As Best Handbag Wholesale keeps ahead with the latest trends, similar patchwork handbags are part of the selection. This handbag under the link goes with a similar bold color scheme as Schiffer’s Balenciaga bag and all pieces used have an angular cut. Mainly, though, this handbag has a western edge to it, and each piece of leather used is patterned and detailed like a cowboy boot and embossed.
