Top 10 Handbags
1. HERMES
The Hermes Birkin tops The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags. A feeding frenzy for this particular accessory has reached such heights that similar crocodile-skin models were offered in the US for as much as $80,000. But even if you've got the money to spend, there's a waiting list. The bag's manufacturer, Herms, wrings its hands and apologises that demand for its leather goods is so high that there is a waiting list of up to nine months for finished items.
2. Louis Vuitton
Our pick for Number 4 on The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags list is this Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami creationa hip new bag for the young at heart. What an original ideathe classic logo updated in playful colors! Expected for the Spring/Summer Collection.
3. Gucci
The Style Group picks this large-topped handle bag in black satin and feathers with bamboo handle as our Number 8 pick on our
Top Ten Luxury Handbags list. The signature style is from "One of the first status labels", Gucci!
4. Chanel
On the downside, they're apparently still trying to make those puffy Coco Cocoon bags happen; I was really wishing that they were going to be a one-season experiment, what with their startling resemblance to trash bags. As for the straw bags that dot the collection, they're very taste-specific, but I could see some of the more subdued version working quite well with summery white linen or various bright colors for contrast. We've got pictures of all the bags, after the jump.
5. Fendi
Silvia Fendi worked in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld to embellish the trademark Fendi handbag the baguetteNumber 3 on The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags list. Fendi crafted a mosaic of purses, which came out for the first time in the 1999 fall/winter collection.
6. Prada
There will always be a Prada on The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags list and this new one is modern, quirky and has perhaps the most hip style available. As you know, Prada bags continue to be the most imitated fashion accessories in recent years.
7. Balenciaga
The Style Group picks this Balenciaga handbag as our Number 5 pick on The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags. If you find one, grab it! This great new "motorcycle" handbag from Balenciaga is extremely hard to get your hands on!
8. Dior

10. Tod's
The Style Group's Top Ten Luxury Handbags would be remiss without a TOD'S entry on our list! The Tod's brand has exploded in the past two years with the products being coveted by the most influential people world-wide. How about that!
