Adele
Orange County knows many Kristens, Britneys, Laurens and Chrissys but not too many Adeles if you get what we mean. Adele, the latest addition to the guide, is unlike any shop we've ever seen in Orange County in that it's not inundated with short denim skirts, flip-flops, pink T-shirts and sunglasses with ridiculous proportions. No, Adele is more into tights, cardigans, pencil skirts and trenchcoats, stuff that would be boutique standards in New York but that are no doubt much appreciated in Laguna Beach and Irvine.

Vera Bradley Handbag News
Vera Bradley handbags continues to expand their line of bags, as well as retiring older purses. Some of the coming retirements are the Little Travel Case, the Kensington Hobo bag, the Metro, and the Tie Tote. Retiring colors include the citrus, hope toile, piccadilly plum, and new hope.
Did you know that Vera Bradley bought the Baekgaard Collection back in 2003? This company was born about 50 years ago and was sold to Barbara Bradley, co-founder of Vera Bradley. The product line consists of quality travel cases in microfiber with leather trim and a signature check lining. Also included are colorful leather accessories such as eyeglass cases, passport holders, and jewelry boxes.
Some of the new handbag designs are the Super Tote, the Tall Zip Tote, and the Libby. Her newest fabrics consist of the Pink Elephant, and my personal favorite, the Yellow Bird.

Weak US Dollar Impacts Designer Handbags
The weakening USA dollar is affecting consumers ability to buy designer handbags! If you try to purchase a Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, or Bottega Veneta designer bag online at luxury stores (Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, etc.), you are informed that they will not sell you more than 3 handbags every 30 days.
The rationale behind this policy is that foreign buyers will take advantage of the weakened US dollar against the Euro and buy designer bags to sell in Europe or Asia. For example, someone could buy a Yves Saint Laurent Downtown handbag at $1,495 each. These same bags sell for about $1,796 in London.
It is not acceptable to handbag companies to have additional bags for sale competing with them because they are trying to break into European markets by opening expensive new stores. If entrepreneurs are buying the bags in America and selling in competition with these new stores with better pricing, why shop the expensive designer boutique?
This policy of limiting purchases is now happening not only online, but in stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue. The purchases are being reviewed on a case-by-case bases and, if there is any question, the buyer is limited in how many bags they may buy.
None of the designer handbag companies would speak on the record about this new policy.
