Yesterday Olivia Palermo was spotted carrying the most
amazing handbag. She was photographed
and the picture was distributed all over the globe. From well-known fashion magazines to blogs
and style sites, the handbag was viewed over two billion times. The picture captured her leaving Franck
etFils department store in Paris with several shopping bags and a grey and
black handbag. There was much debate on
fashion websites where the handbag came from and who designed it. On Instagram the same question arose. It’s such a massive style platform that it
makes sense there would be chatter amongst fashionables concerning the origin
of the handbag. The very next day, Anna
Wintour was spotted carrying a similar handbag only hers was navy and black. Again, this caused an avalanche of inquiries.
Two days later on Instagram, someone figured out the label
of the two handbags. Leave it to a
fashionable on Instagram to solve it.
The Anna’s and Olivia’s handbags were from PLIA Designs. I looked them up online. PLIA Designs makes a collection of designer
handbags, purses, satchels, and leather goods.
I had to have this style of handbag immediately. It’s not that the handbag is overly designed;
in fact it’s the opposite. It is
understand and timeless. I saw similar
looking handbags on PLIA Designs website.
The style is a satchel handbag, but it seemed to be a larger size
compared to what the others were photographed carrying. I emailed the company not knowing if I’d hear
back or not. You know what I mean, you
never know if a business will reply. A
lot of companies say it’s all about the customer and how they have superb
customer service. But when you test
them, you realize their customer service isn’t so amazing after all. PLIA Designs surprised me. I received an email reply from James within
six hours. He stated that the satchel
handbags photographed were a new style and not on the website yet. However, they would be up within a week.
The next week James emailed me again and said the new style
was online. He knew which ones I liked
and held one of each aside as they sell out fast and there is often a waiting
list. Since this was a new, smaller size
and shown already in numerous magazines, he didn’t even know if they would have
enough stock to last several days. When
I logged on, sure enough, they were already sold out. Thankfully I would receive mine in the grey
and navy. I cannot wait to get my hands
on these popular PLIA Designs designer handbags.
