Sky Valley, CA (PRWEB) January 28, 2008 – Dedicated to offering its clientele designer handbags at off-retail prices, eFashionHouse.com, named Best of the Web by People magazine’s StyleWatch, continues to find ways to pass on even more savings to its valued customers by carrying famed Melie Bianco handbags. Known for creating handbags that are “chic” and “affordable,” Melie Bianco is fast becoming the talk of the town among fashion editors and style mavens alike due to her fashion forward styles and entirely attainable prices.

“We are so excited to carry Melie Bianco in the DesignersLA store. If owning a designer handbag made from the finest craftsmanship for under a hundred dollars seems to good to be true, than you don’t know about Melie Bianco handbags,” says Anna Miller, eFashionHouse.com owner and operator. “Not only do Melie Bianco handbags fit our young, edgy clientele but they work with our customers who are on a budget or don’t like dropping thousands of dollars on a beloved designer handbag.”

A local Los Angeles designer, Melie Bianco handbags can be seen on the arms of Hollywood starlets but are priced so that non-celebrities can be just as fabulous, which is why her collection has been featured in such fashion magazines like Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Self and People StyleWatch and on TV shows like Today Show and Good Day New York.

Made from the softest “butter-like” faux leathers, Melie Bianco handbags feature sleek modern designs, like distressed patent leather, silver python and gathered hobos. Plus for those who are looking for an alternative to leather, all Melie Bianco handbags are made from faux leather (but you’d never know it). And at such affordable prices, $56-$76 depending on the style, Melie Bianco handbags make the perfect gift for friends and family.

One of five eFashionHouse.com online stores, DesignersLA has been operating since 2003 and only carries Los Angeles-based fashion designers. The site carries a wide range of LA designers from local legends like Bells & Whistles and Melvone to household names like Juicy Couture and Trina Turk. Inventory includes handbags, jewelry and more and all items are 100% authentic and below retail.

Women better protect purses

from Contra Costa Times

THE PURSE IS a curse to every woman who dreams of having her hands free. It's a black hole that swallows up coins and car keys and compacts, not to mention other female items, which we feel compelled to carry. And yet, carry them we must. We load up our purses and haul them around because it's our duty. Lord knows, someone might need something and we have to be ready.

The downside of carrying a handbag is the ease with which it can be stolen. In the past week alone, the Town Crier has heard of three purse thefts, including a spate of snatchings at the Safeway on Redwood Road. Police say a man/woman team has been distracting customers in the store and stealing purses from their shopping carts. It's a crime of opportunity and can easily be avoided by wearing one's purse like a necktie. A couple of knots and your strap is secure, only to be stolen if it's ripped from your body.

ANOTHER ALERT: On the topic of crime, police say three armed men hit the parking lot of the Redwood Road Safeway on a recent Sunday afternoon, robbing at least six people who were loading groceries into their trunks. The thugs took off in a waiting car after terrorizing the customers and taking their cash.

SEEING RED: Oakland's plans for a stoplight at Mountain and La Salle have had Montclair residents seeing red for months, now. But their arguments may come to a head Tuesday when the issue is addressed by the City Council's Public Works Committee. Stoplight opponent Derek Liecty says

he'll need a good turnout of "upset Montclair residents" to dissuade members from the project they're "hell-bent" on pushing through. You can e-mail him at spoker@sbcglobal.net for the meeting time and place.

AROUND TOWN: Rumor has it a thrift shop is moving into the Lakeshore Avenue space vacated by KidsGap. Not just any thrift shop, but the chain store called "Out of the Closet," started by Magic Johnson to raise money for the Aids Healthcare Foundation. Even with the star status, not everyone is thrilled to see a popular brand name retailer replaced by a thrift shop -- especially in one of Oakland's most upscale shopping districts.

Speaking of shopping, there's good buzz about the new designer clothing store at 4395 Piedmont Avenue called McMullens. Not only does the owner, Sherri McMullen, have great fashion sense, she offers closet consultations and alterations to help clients optimize their wardrobes. Service and style are two things Sherri learned well - cutting her teeth in retail at Nieman Marcus. This is her first boutique and the fulfillment of a dream. Good luck, Sherri!

ROAD HAZARD: Driving in the hills is challenging enough without having to dodge a sink hole the size of Seattle on Shepherd Canyon Road. Neighborhood activist Mike Petouhoff says the hole could "swallow an entire car" if it weren't covered by a large metal plate. He says it's time for the city to come up with a permanent fix, as the pit only seems to only grow bigger with age.

Melie Bianco Handbags

Melie Bianco handbags ethnic hobo

from Handbags 101

Tough to track down because of their relative newcomer status on the scene, Melie Bianco is based in Los Angeles, California. With a mission to provide quality fashionable handbags and purses at reasonable rates, Melie Bianco is off to a fantastic start. Stars like Paris Hilton and Kelly Osborne have been snapped around town with the Melie Heart Hobo on their arms in spite of the low, low prices. Melie Bianco proves that a wonderful handbag does not have to cost over $400 to be trendy, even by Hollywood standards!

Applique Ethnic Hobo - This faux leather hobo by Melie is an interesting twist on the hobo shape. Less slouchy than most and more interesting than many, Melie Bianco has added some much needed distinctiveness to this handbag. Intricate, bohemian-inspired stitching and colorful, detailed edging add a definite funky feel. The best feature of the Appliqu Ethnic Hobo is the faux leather wrapped handle. Available in several color combinations, this hobo has added appeal.

Fur Detective Hobo - Wear white after Labor Day by carrying this fluffy white hobo bag. Metallic dual handles attach to white fur. Bianco continued on with fur and flash by adding a front pouch with matching metallic flap. If the fur and flash weren't enough, studs adorn the handles and the pocket flap as well, adding a truly one-of-a-kind touch to this already unique bag.

Multi Colored Chevron - Taking a tip from inimitable fashion icon Marc Jacobs, Melie Bianco knocks off the chevron design and brightens it up a bit with vibrant colors in the pink to purple range. The V-shaped chevrons add an interesting element to the handbag. Metal loops on the strap and appealing metal hardware are a nice touch. Interesting multicolored long tassels on the top zipper pull make a flirty and fun addition to this great bag.

Convertible Ring Hobo - As seen on MTV, Laguna Beach and in several fashion magazines, this Convertible Hobo has two rings on the strap in order to lengthen or shorten the handle. This one is a little different because it is a convertible. You can change the Ring Hobo to suit yourself. The white bag is made from soft synthetic material that looks and feels like real leather.

I purchased a Melie Biano bag -- Teal Raw Edge convertible handbag! This is the absolutely best designed bag I have ever owned! When I go shopping, I can have 3 different bags -- a clutch, a shoulder bag and a handbag with handle -- it is perfect! I just bought a lovely Pink one for Spring and Summer!! I get tons of compliments on this bag and I got a great deal on both!

A few things to consider before shopping. So you really like handbags. Okay, maybe you love them. That much is clear. But now what? Picking a handbag isn't rocket science, but there are some things to think about when shopping. Some are questions of what you want in a bag, while other considerations are much more practical. Thinking through these can make a difference between being happy with your purchase or leaving your new bag sitting in your closet collecting dust.

Style
You're browsing, and you spot a bag that you're absolutely in love with. Sitting on the rack (or calling to you from your computer screen), it's the cutest thing you've ever seen! But unless you're going to hang it on the wall of your apartment for your guests to admire, you'll want to ask yourself this question: What is this bag going to look like on me? Remember that a bag is only one piece of the puzzle - it should ideally match an outfit or your wardrobe (not just color, but also style and attitude). So before buying, mentally cruise your closet and try to think of what you would wear while carrying that bag. Image is everything!!! When considering handbags/outfits, look at the image you are trying to project. Whether you're going for cute, sexy, cool, chic, conservative, etc. think of how the bag will help you pull off the image. Remember, everyone is unique and some styles don't work for everyone. Also, not all styles work for every occasion. Generally you will shop with specific kinds of activities or events in mind - and of course a formal night out is not going to be the same as a day of running errands. You might eventually want to develop a rotating repertoire of different styles for different occasions. Finally, consider your body shape and size. Handbags come in many different shapes and colors along with style, so make sure to pick one that is flattering for you. Take a look at a guide to matching body and handbag shape before picking (see Links at bottom of article).

Carrying Capacity
All right, so you've found a handbag that looks great on you. But it is a bag, after all, and you just might also want to put stuff in it. How much will you be able to fit in your potential bag? Also, what are you going to put in it? Along with the overall size of the bag, give some thought to things like compartments and accessibility.

Comfort
Another question: how easy will it be to carry? How big is the bag, and what kind of handle does it have? Depending on where you're going and whether you have a place to put your bag, you might end up holding it for a while. You're going to look great with your new handbag. You might as well be comfortable too!

Price
From the infrequent buyer to the shopaholic, we all eventually ask ourselves: How much should I spend? What is this bag worth to me? "Worth" is not just a matter of a dollar value, but also of what it does for you when you have it. Will you be happy that you spent the money and bought it? Is it worth giving up lunch for a week to own that cute bag? Is it worth giving up the extra week's lunch for the matching shoes you now need? Whether you spend thousands of dollars on a Hermes Kelly Bag or $8 on a tote bag from Target, if it was worth it to you, then as Bob Barker says… the price is right.

In the end… Shopping for a bag should be fun. That's what it's all about, isn't it? But if you take a little extra time to consider whether the style, carry capacity, comfort level, and price all suit you - you can end up being that much happier with your choice. And hey… Informed shopping can be that much more enjoyable anyway!
