What is it about the classic doctor?s bag that people seem to love so much?
Is it the utilitarian design?
Is it the inherent functionality?
Or is it something to do with nostalgic sentiment and a need to connect with the past?
Fashion designers and fashionistas everywhere seem to be quite taken with these bags.
Many of the leading Italian fashion houses such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Fendi are now producing bags inspired by the classic doctor?s bag.
People just seem to love them!
If these bags strike your fancy, but spending hundreds of dollars on a handbag is not in your budget, there are a number of options available to you.
Why not consider looking around your local antique market?
Many a prized possession has been discovered in out-of-the-way antique markets.
As well, you might consider visiting the vintage clothing shops in your area.
Be sure to speak with the shop keepers or their employees in these stores.
Chances are, if they don?t have it, they can get it!
A quick internet search for these products will also yield plenty of results.
There are a number of websites out there dedicated to handbags and other such products.
If what you are truly looking for is a tried-and-true old school doctor?s bag, why not explore your options on E-Bay?
There is no doubt you will find what you are looking for at the world?s biggest garage sale!
Who knows?
You might even pay next-to-nothing for it.
Apart from the classic leather doctor?s bag, these bags come in a variety of colors and materials.
Bags made from vinyl, canvas, nylon, plastic are all over the marketplace.
Then there are others that are made from exotic materials, such as alligator or ostrich leather.
The choice of materials available for handbags is limited only by your imagination.
In my humble opinion there is no substitute for the classic leather doctor?s bag!
There is just something wonderfully alluring about these bags.
Is it the smell of the leather?
Is it the weight of the bag? I just don?t know.
I?ll have to give it some thought, and get back to you.

Louis Vuitton -- Avoiding The Ebay Nightmare Fakes

Without a doubt, eBay was one of the cleverest on-line ideas that anyone has had so far. The idea of creating a site where you can bid on and buy items ranging from an eggcup through to a disused Boeing 747 or a Nuclear Missile Silo was pure genius.
Sadly though, whenever a good idea comes along, the seedier side of humanity is sure to be not to far behind, sliding along in it's wake leaving a gooey trail behind themselves.
So it is on Ebay. Current estimation holds that nigh on 37% of the worlds counterfeit and fake goods are sold daily on Ebay.
Having seen some of the listings I can fully believe it.
Especially where designer label goods are concerned.
Take a look at just about any page of Louis Vuitton items listed on Ebay and on average you'll find 95% of them on each page are fake.
So how can you avoid the easy to make mistake of buying a cheap...
