If you are in the market for a vintage handbag, then your quickest route to getting a high quality vintage purse is a tano vintage croc handbag.  Why?  Because Tano insures high quality and attention to detail.  You will actually fall in love with your bag and with Tano handbags and you will consider this your first purse of choice.

 Many women love the vintage handbag look.  Vintage handbags can really add to your purse collection.  And buying a Tano vintage croc handbag is a great way to broaden your handbag collection. There are several  to choose from and can sometimes be bought for pennies on the dollar.  So what makes the Tano Vintage Croc handbag a must have?

 First, Tano is an exclusive handbag manufacturer.  They only sell their purses in boutiques and visit two boutiques that sell Tano handbags and you will likely find that they are carrying different purses.  And they only make a small amount of their purses since they only cater to small boutiques, as oppose to large department stores like many of the other designer purse manufacturers.  This alone makes a Tano handbag a novelty and collector’s purse.  Add the further detail of a croc handbag and all the more unique of a find.

A Tano vintage croc handbag would be best worn on a special occasion with your boyfriend.  Or you might consider it for a special night out with your girlfriends.  Ideally, you should wear this purse when you want to make a statement as it will truly become the conversation piece of the night.  So consider a tano vintage croc handbag and dressup your purse collection with this affordable, yet hard to find handbag.

The Tano handbags manufacturer says that a Tano handbag needs to be placed on a testdrive before you buy.  They believe that Tano handbags are sexual, sensual, and affordable.  When considering a Tano handbag, you need to handle the bag, run the zippers, squeeze the leather and fit your cell phone into the tiny pockets before you purchase the handbag.  In other words, you have to fall in love with the handbag before you purchase it.

This idea of sensual handbags is exactly why you cannot find Tano handbags for sale in any department store. The Tano label owners will only sell to local boutique retailers and only very limited on-line websites. Their marketing objective is to make Tano handbags exclusive by not selling to a wide marketplace and to give their client a personalized touch. Their theory is a touchy feely product.

Tano Handbags Are A Sensual Experience

This is a very interesting concept because women like a wide choice when selecting handbags. Women are comparison shoppers and like to have choice, especially when selecting handbags. Tano is banking on their repeat business, word of mouth marketing and an individualized experience for first time buyers.

The Bags

Tano handbags are really very reasonably priced. Where most designer handbags range in price from $250.00 to $1500.00, these handbags average in price from $150.00 to $250.00. Tano handbags are unique in their design, upscale and attractive to a wide range of women. They are of high quality leather and their wide assortments of color are developed specifically for Tano handbags.

The uniqueness of the bag is its handcrafted attention to every detail. The leathers are fine soft leather and each handbag is completely lined, has a sunglass pocket, cell phone pocket and a zippered pocket and can be converted into a shoulder bag. Their sling messenger bags are the most popular in the line. Each Tano handbag has a specific title such as, The Romantic Tote, Gingersnap Handbag, The Tano Sexbomb Crunch Bag, The Bauhaus Black Bag, Tano Depeche Bag, The Suzy Hotrod, Tano Boogie Bucket Bag, Tano Misunderstood Bag and The Tano Old School Woven Bag just to name a few.

The titles give them another mystery and individual style. The Tano handbag line is very competitive with the major designer labels, such as Dior, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. They respond for a need for designer look without the high end price. For the handbag lover who appreciates quality, style and a good price point, these bags are well worth the price. They will last for years are trendy and absolutely beautiful. If you want a designer look and can’t pay the high price, definitely try a Tano handbag.

Tano has a great return policy for women who buy their handbags.  This adds to the steamy relationship of the purse and the person.  Since you have a hands on experience in purchasing the purse and the relationship is much more personal, you will feel much more comfortable and at ease in taking the purse back to the boutique should you have a problem.  Tano handbags say that you just need to bring your bag back to the retail store where you purchased it and we’ll take it from there. Each retailer has a different store policy. We work with the retailer to make sure you’re happy and that you stay a loyal Tano bag fan. 

 Because Tano handbags must compete with the other designer handbags, they want to stand out from the rest and win your heart and your loyalty.  As well, Tano handbags expects to have a long term relationship which makes it all the more sensual.

Is it strange that handbags are made for different body types? 

There are so many different types of handbags out there and for someone like me who is not the most organized or the most fashionable,  I have literally lost hair from the stress of deciding what purse to buy.

So I decided to select handbags that go with my body type.  I am tall and overweight but fortunately my height allows me to spread my weight gain over more territory resulting in my ability to appear thinner than what the scales scream.

Handbag for a tall and slim body type 

Being tall and slim allows you to get away with most purse styles. Oversize bags, shoulder bags and clutch bags will all look great. The only thing you really need to watch is the size of the handbag you choose. Small bags should be avoided as they will make you look bigger. Mid size, large, floppy or bulky handbags are best. Bright colors, prints and patterns are okay, too.

Handbag for a short and petite body type
If you are short and petite –

The most important thing to watch for as a petite girl is the size of the bag you choose. A good rule of thumb is to remember proportion. Small bags work well for small girls. Choose small bags and wear them close to your body.

Handbag for a body type with larger hips 

If your hips are large -

If you wish to draw attention away from the hip area try a shoulder bag. Choose one with a short strap. The purse can be tucked easily under the arm. The best look for you is a shoulder bag or a hobo bag that hangs slightly but ends well above the hip line.

Handbag for the top heavey body type 

If you are top heavy -

If you are generously endowed on the upper half of your body you will probably want to draw attention away from your bosom or waist. A messenger bag or a handbag is a good choice for your body type. If you really want a shoulder bag try one that has a long strap and is fairly large in size.

Handbag for a curvy body type

If you have great curves -

A shoulder bag that ends just above the waist is the most flattering style for you. The only type of bags that you will want to avoid are ones that are either really big or really small.

Handbag for the plus size body type

If you are a plus size -please stay away from the hobo bag.

So there you have it.  Find a purse based on these general ideas and you will fair much better.  There is a handbag for your body type. 

The history of handbags go back to the 16th century for Europeans.  Many eastern, native american, and african cultures used handbags long before Europeans discovered them.   

Handbags were used for practical reasons during the 16th century.  Thye were made with everyday materials such as leather and a drawstring.  If you can think of what a pouch would look like, so was a handbag.  During this period, cloth bags were used that were made larger and used by travelers and carried diagonally across the body.

The 17th century saw more variety and both fasionable men and women carried small purses with more complex shapes. Young girls were taught embroidery as a very necessary skill to make them marriagable and we see the rise of beautiful and unique stitched artwork in handbags.

Neo-classical clothing became popular in the 18th century with a reduction in the amount of underclothing worn by women. Wearing a purse would ruin the look of this clothing so fasionable ladies started carrying their handbags which were called reticules. Women had a different bag for every occasion and every fashion magazine had arguments on the proper carrying of these purses. In the reticules one would find rouge, face powder, a fan, a scent bottle, visiting cards a card case, and smelling salts.

The term “handbag” first came into use in the early 1900’s and generally referred to hand-held luggage bags usually carried by men. These were an inspiration for new bags that became popularized for women, including complicated fasteners, internal compartments, and locks. With this new fashion, jewelers got into the act with special compartments for opera glasses, cosmetics, and fans.

The 1920’s saw a revolution in fashion with varying hemlines and lighter clothing. Bags no longer needed to match the outfit perfectly and the rage was for the stylish lady to carry a doll dressed exactly like herself, complete with matching bag for her minature companion! The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb inspired Egyptian art on purses. The 1940’s saw new austerity in clothing, including handbags with the war effort in mind. Metal frames, zips, leather, and mirrors were in short supply so manufacters used plastic and wood. The 50’s saw the rise of important designer houses including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes and the 60’s saw the breakdown of old notions of the classical and the rise of youth culture.

Today, handbags or purses have evolved and are a true fashion statement for its wearer.

Thieves Steal $13,000 Handbag, Credit Cards From Actress Kristen Dunst’s NYC Hotel Room

NEW YORK (AP) - Thieves snatched a $13,000 handbag, cell phone and ID cards from ”Spider-Man” star Kirsten Dunst’s penthouse suite at a posh Manhattan hotel, court records shows.

Dunst was in the city to shoot scenes for the upcoming film ”How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.” She had left her suite at the SoHo Grand Hotel early on Aug. 9, when the thieves slipped in.

A surveillance camera showed the burglars leaving the hotel, according to the complaint filed in the case. It said they also got away with $2,500 in cash, credit cards, two digital cameras and an iPod music player.

One suspect, Jarrod Beinerman, 33, was being held on $50,000 bond after being arraigned in a Manhattan court Wednesday on burglary and grand larceny charges.

Beinerman’s lawyer, James Kirschner, told the judge the surveillance camera showed his client wasn’t carrying anything in his hands when he left the SoHo Grand. Kirschner said Beinerman had heard a movie was being filmed at the hotel and ”went there to check out what was going on.”

Authorities have since recovered the credit cards, IDs and cell phone.

A Dunst spokesman and a SoHo Grand manager did not immediately return telephone messages left at their offices early Friday.

Dunst, 25, has starred in numerous movies, including the “Spider-Man”series, “Marie Antoinette” and “Mona Lisa Smile.” People magazine named her one of the world’s 50 most beautiful people in 2002.
