WWD: Top 12 Designer Handbag Brands of 2007
WWD recently published their top 12 picks for 2007, and I am so disappointed. I mean who did they interview? Label whores? When I think of last years best sellers, or even memorable bags that could have been found on the lists of thousands of handbag fans, I wouldn’t pick a bag by some of the designers below. Coach number 1? How can that be. And Ralph Lauren? The only bag that comes to mind is the birkin-looking Ricky bag. I have nothing against the brands below, I’m a fan of a couple, but I don’t think this list is very accurate.

who did they interview? Label whores? I was about to say the same thing. This list is awful, not accurate what-so-ever.
I'm reading these "it must be wrong" comments and laughing like hell. Yes Jennifer, WWD's ratings are accurate from a strict business standpoint. I own 5 genuine bags of the top 12 listed, and 2 others that are inspired replicas. I've been following the profit margins of these 12 companies in business articles. So far, Coach has had the highest return on investment of all the companies listed. Popular demand, customer recognition, high yield, consistent earnings over time, and product innovation have put these companies on top of their game. Their bags are well-distributed in stores to maximize buyer access. The "overexposure" and "mainstream" qualities that fashionistas hate about these companies and their bags have made them highly successful in the marketplace. You will never see an indie "It Bag" appear on the top 12. "Last year's best sellers" and "memorable bags" that appear on the lists of 1,000 handbag elitists are a tiny drop in a huge market basket. Did you know Levis jeans is still among the top 10 most frequently searched brands on the Internet, in this age of luxury denim?
YAY for Prada!
