What purse style would work best with your figure?

Never mind the current fashion: your handbag should first of all complement your figure. A tiny purse on a largish woman looks a bit silly. But even though large bags are in fashion now, don’t go overboard, otherwise the bag will distract attention from your person.

If you are slim and tall, go for a round or square shaped purse. If you are not very tall, a bottle shaped handbag would look best. And, of course, a not very large backpack works perfectly for any figure.

Most DKNY handbags have adjustable handles, so make use of them. Large bags should never hang at the level of your hips: if necessary shorten the handle, so the bag comes to your waist line. And if you wear a backpack, it should not hang down over your backside: adjust the handles so it is just above your waist. This looks better, doesn’t put as much pressure on your lower back, and forces you to keep a good posture.

What is the harm in purchasing a fake designer handbag? There are a multitude of reasons to NOT buy knockoffs, beginng 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.

Rent your handbag!

Wake up and smell the DKNY. The DKNY Paddington bag, that is. And the DKNY Motorcycle, Louis Vuitton Eclipse, Marc Jacobs Stam, Judith Lieber miniadaure, Fendi Spy, Dior Detective and every other classic and trendy zillion dollar handbag you can think of.

Thanks to two new rental websites, it's now possible for you (or that hard-to-please fashionista on your holiday gift list) to carry the $500 or $2000 bag of your dreams - and change for another brand's model every month - for a fraction of what it would cost to buy all the latest must-have bags outright.

Both sites also offer insurance, from $3 to $20, depending on the cost of the bag, so you won't be left holding the, errr...bag, if your Mulberry or DKNY rental gets damaged or stolen. Just think: maybe you can buy a new wallet with all the money you save!

Status bags have been taken to new heights in the designer era, with top fashion companies adorning bags with logos and other signs of luxury, such as skins and fur. A recent Doyle New York auction featured a black crocodile DKNY Birkin, with a customized clasp and lock featuring 14 carats of pavé diamonds, that sold for $64,800.
