Heavy Metal
30 December 2007 by Catherine-Elisabeth
This entry isn’t about hard rock music, though I’ve no objection to blasting Jimi Hendrix and Rolling Stones on the radio while zipping along the freeway. No, it’s about the plethora of metal laden handbags that have been out the past few seasons with no signs of retirement if the Spring collections are any indication.
Most of the major designers have embraced the heavy metal idea with metal accents on their bags. It apparently has been something of a contest among them as to who can design the heaviest handbag for a woman to carry. I’ve picked up most of these bags while out shopping…and promptly set them back on their shelves. To my way of thinking, any bag that weighs more empty than the bag on my shoulder that is filled to the brim, is a trip to the chiropractor for a spinal adjustment in the works.
Nevertheless, they are a joy to behold! For example, glance at these lovelies. From left to right, Chloe, Gucci and Versace.
I love, love, love distinctive bags like these three. Who couldn’t rock out any one of them on a hot night partying in the city? What about these three great bags for running around town during the day? A sexy Romy from Gucci, Prada’s take on Chanel’s chain handle or this hot satchel from Prada?
Yes, I love these heavy metal bags, though I do wish that designers would take away some of the heavy and leave we rocker chicks with our metal. But to quote Mick and the Boys:
You can’t always get what you want.

As I am surfing the net on blogs about fashion, I found your page arbitrarily. For the first time, I thought that this post is about music, heavy metal rock. I am so curious, so I gave my time to read what is all about. Sounds interesting….huh?? And I found the plethora in different metal laden handbags as far as my fashion desires are concerned. Lots of women carry this bag anywhere as a sign of superiority and courage. I guess this bag matches all the elegant metal accessories surrounding your entire body. Thank you so much for a distinctly crafted heavy metal bags. The designers were very innovative and creative enough to meet the demand of every solid fashionista.
I will stop dreaming and start using this for I am leaving the old and take the new trend of fashion this coming year. It is really cool and drop dead gorgeous bag
Prada, Gucci, Versace and Chloe made great designs for great people. This is the ultimate goal of these famous designers. I admire them so much….Keep it up!!!
