The Hottest Handbag Brands - Connecticut in Style

I was in a consignment store in Darien, Connecticut a few summers ago. The moment I walked in, I spotted the MOST GORGEOUS Marc Jacobs handbag I had ever seen. It was a robin’s egg blue and a steal at around $450 dollars but I didn’t buy it. When I went back the next day, it was gone. I don’t live with regrets, but man, I sure wish I had bought that bag. Because it was an older style, every once and awhile I will look on ebay for it. I will probably continue searching for it because it needs to be in my closet. Maybe someday we’ll find each other. In the meantime, I wanted to share some interesting articles about the rise (and fall) of luxury handbag manufacturers. Written by Vanessa Friedman for the New York Times, Upending Expectations About the Hottest Handbag Brands was published last summer and reveals the hottest brands in 2014 (it is too early in the year for what’s hot in 2015). If you are interested in how these hot brands take hold in the major cities in the U.S., check out this post by Fashionista The Luxury Handbag Brands Selling Best in 10 U.S. Cities. New York is the closest major city to Connecticut, and the women of the Big Apple prefer CHANEL, HERMÈS and LOUIS VUITTON. Well done New York. Here is a roundup of some beautiful bags by the top handbag brands.
