I was emailed an article this morning about the "truth behind fashion."
This article explains the behind the scenes information on the history of a lot of our favourite designer brands. If you're interested in knowing why they call them stilettos and pumps or if there was indeed a real Mary Jane, you should definitely check out this article.
If you're not one to click around from site to site, here is my favourite tidbit of information:
"Have women always carried purses?
Once upon a time, ladies stored their essentials in a little waist sack tied under their clothing (sort of an early ancestor of the fanny pack) and accessible through slits in their skirts.
Around 1800, thinner, silkier fabrics and slimmer cuts came into vogue, and women could no longer hide the bulging sacks around their midsections. The solution? They began carrying their belongings in small pocketbooks instead."
From fanny packs to designer handbags... we've come a long way haven't we?

One need not worry about the quality of replica purses
. There is no compromise done in the field of quality for the reduction of price. The replica purses have almost the same quality.
No one can differentiate a Replica purses from an Original one by just looking at it.
