How To Identify Leather Handbag

Nowadays, more and more ladies love leather shoulder bags. Because there is no other texture can compare with it, and leather also has many kinds with different quality, which make ladies fall in with them. For example, in leather, slick-surfaced leather is often used, because its tension strengthen is good, it is able to bear or endure dirty, friction and has good air permeability. About nubuck, it not only has elegant surface, and good air permeability, but it still has weak points that is easy to be dirty and not good to take care, especially in bad environment, it is very easy to absorb dust, and after touched water, it also will fall over. And there is another leather called modified leather, which is made up by processing daub on the surface of leather, and it can press with different grains.

While, there are many fake leather mixed with real leather in market, we should open our eyes to discern leather. Below I will introduce several common ways to you when you buy a leather shoulder bag or handbag.

No. 1 Touch Feeling
When you touch the handbag’s surface, it is smooth (except grain leather), soft, plump and stretchy, thus it is real leather.

No. 2 Look
Look is mainly used to identify leather’s kind and grain leather’s stand or fall, to watch the surface of leather has obvious pores and lines, while fake leather is also imitated pores, but its pores are not realistic and clear. Moreover the reverse side of fake leather is a layer of fabric as baseboard, and this kind of baseboard is used to increase its tension strength, which is not existing in leather bags. Hence this is the simplest and most practical way to identify leather handbags.

No. 3 Odour
A good-quality leather generally has no peculiar odour, and if only it is leather, it will have leather odour. If there is acrid odour, it may be some chemical raw material is exceeding standard to use in wording process.

No. 4 Light
After lighted, leather’s odour is same as fired hairs, and won’t be lump, use fingers to pinch it can be powder. While, the fake leather, after lighted, will produce acrid odour, and form to lump.

Styles Of Jeans To Suit Your Body Shape

A clever strategy of several garment manufacturers is to keep changing the styles of jeans and trousers so that we get attracted to the new designs. This year, wide legged jeans with high-waist and flares are new in this season’s fashion line with more versatility than previous year’s fashionable leg-squeezing skinny jeans.

Wide-legged trousers and jeans are more comfortable and jeans with high-waist appeal more to women, since these fit perfectly on your bottom.

Very few people prefer low-waist jeans. They are fit only for skinny people and women having even a bit bigger tummy do not like them, since they highlight that extra fat round the waistline more prominently. However, in case you are desperate to wear them only for the sake of fashion, then pair them with longer smock-styled tops and avoid skin-tight blouses.

Average women with slightly heavier hips find low waist jeans exposing their bottom-cleavage. The problem can be solved with curved waist bands which will minimize the attraction of people towards your assets. The latest trend in jeans is ‘bikini jeans’, which has an ultra-low-waist and the young and daring women can readily give it a try, especially those who like to show off a tattoo on their lower back!

With high-rise jeans or trousers, your legs appear long and wide waist-bands do marvellous job in minimizing your fat tummy. Women with short height should choose jeans with mid-waist so that it does not give them a shorter torso look.

Gulp down your pride and buy one size bigger jeans. It will have a surprising effect on your figure and you will really feel relaxed in one size bigger than those constricting denims. Allow your jeans to skim over your figure comfortably rather than squeezing it. People, who particularly like glass shaped jeans at the waist, can face a problem. A bit larger size pair of jeans and trousers fit well on the hips. Select a hipster cut jeans, which entirely avoids clutching the waist and your hips appear little reduced in size.

You may buy any style, but the latest trend is the full leg-length style which touches the floor giving an impression of longer legs but down at the end, the dirty hem does not look attractive at all. Leg-length jeans with hem hovering over the ground are an advantage to the short frames. The lower part of the jeans which bunches around gives a slimming effect.

No matter what your height or figure, always keep two lengths of trousers and jeans, so that one can be worn with the high-heels and the other with flats. Those, who are shorter than average height, should pair their jeans with high-heels.

Jeans and plus size trousers give a slimmer look with dark colours. Choose from blacks, dark blue, and greys to create an impression of slimmer hips and legs. With the shades at the right place, a shaded denim jean can do wonders to a heavier body.

Denims have so much versatility in designs that it can be really mind-boggling and time-consuming to select one in the right styles and cuts. To start with, first find out the shape that will suit your figure with perfect fitting.

A Part Of The History Of Levi Jeans

In 1853 Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco and opened a wholesale dry goods business selling items to small stores all through the West. Then in 1872 Jacob Davis writes to Levi Strauss, telling him about the process he invented to rivet the pocket corners on mens pants to make them stronger. He suggests the two men take out a patent.

Three years later Levi Strauss & Jacob Davis are granted a patent on the process of riveting pants and this is the invention of the blue jean. The pants – called “waist overalls” – have one back pocket, a watch pocket, a cinch, suspender buttons and a rivet in the crotch. There may have been a tradition of pocket stitching on mens work clothes but this has not been proved for certain. The cinch and suspender buttons were standard on mens pants. Levi did not invent the cut or fit of the waist overalls; what they did was take ordinary mens work pants and rivet them, creating the new category of workwear which we today call blue jeans.

Levi Jeans, originally work wear for lumberjacks and farm workers in the American South in the 19th century are the first and only choice for many fashion conscious jeans wearers today. And nothing personifies this well deserved image more than the iconic Levi 501 Jeans.

With a history and pedigree spanning over 130 years, Levi Jeans have evolved from the original utilitarian garment for manual workers in the American South in the 19th century to a designer and must have item for the fashion conscious jeans wearer of the 21st century. Yet Levi Jeans are still sought after for their practicality and durability.

Levi Jeans come in a mind-boggling and mouth watering variety of styles which include; the basic comfort straight leg version, the loose fit Boyfriend Cut (worn slouchy and below the waist) , the Boot Cut ( they do what they say on the tin – i.e. facilitate your boots), to bang up to date skinny jeans ( not for the faint hearted – or more generously proportioned !) Just to add to the fun the choice of finishes range from ; stone wash, one wash black, and , originally challenging to parents everywhere , the broken in. Incidentally such is the generation spanning appeal of Levi Jeans that those same parents are now probably wearing these as a comfort choice themselves!

For the connoisseur, however, the iconic and cult Levi 501 Jeans with the trade mark button fly is the Levi Jean of choice. The granddaddy of all jeans and still the leader for understated effortless everyday style. Ageless and timeless Levi 501 jeans have been the must have dream jeans for teenagers (of all ages!).

Indeed Levi Strauss are so cognizant of the importance of the brand to the history of jean making and to their success as a company that in 1997 they paid $25,000 for a pair of vintage (1890) Levi 501 jeans.

Tips On T-Shirt Fashion

Along with jeans, t-shirts are perhaps the worlds most ubiquitous fashion item not bad for a garment that started out life as underwear. Since World War Two, t-shirts have gone from strength to strength, and today its rare to meet someone who doesnt have a t-shirt in their wardrobe.

But since theyre so common, its easy to become bored of wearing t-shirts quickly. Looking for new ways to wear a t-shirt? Heres a few tips for men and women on t-shirt fashion.

In Praise Of Plain T-Shirts

For some men and women, theres nothing better than a plain white t-shirt. It might sound boring, but plain white tees are versatile and timeless: theyll never go out of style. But if youre going to wear a plain white t-shirt properly, youll have to make sure the style suits you. For instance, most men plump for a crew neck white t-shirt with short sleeves as the default option. If youre of a more muscular physique, you may suit a t-shirt thats a little tighter in the body, while men with beer bellies should ensure their t-shirts are loose-fitting and several inches longer than waist-length, to provide ample coverage.

In the same vein, women with large chests often look more flattering in a v-neck t-shirt with short sleeves or a scoop neck t-shirt with three-quarter length sleeves. Its all about making sure that your body shape looks in proportion. Notably, some fashion experts suggest avoiding white altogether if you have a large chest as it may overemphasise your assets. It completely depends on your body shape, but if you think white t-shirts dont quite suit you, try a dark colour instead. Black or navy, for instance, may have a slimming effect.

Printed And Graphic Tees

Tie-dye might have been big in the 1960s and 1970s, but since the 1990s printed t-shirts have become the norm. From slogans to characters from Sesame Street, theres no limit to what t-shirts may have printed on them in 2012. If youre replenishing your stock of t-shirts, look for graphic tees that suit your own personality. If youre a music or film buff, look for t-shirts with prints of famous films and album covers. The cover of Joy Divisions album Unknown Pleasures, for instance, is a design thats gained a lot of cache on t-shirts over the past few decades.

If you want to go graphic-lite but need something more arresting that a plain t-shirt, go for a simple but colourful striped design instead. Its also worth considering a t-shirt with a comic slogan, or a simple image like a piece of fruit or a plant as well to add another dimension to your t-shirt collection.
