Hi, ally, here again. Betsey Johnson has been offering us all fabulous fashion for a long time. Betsey started designing in the 1960’s and struck out on her own in the late 70’s with her own label. Initially she designed a clothing range but now she’s added handbags, belts, cold weather accessories, eyewear, watches, jewelry, swimwear, legwear and fragrances all made up in her trademark fabrics in the bright, sharp, crazy colors she loves. But it’s the Betsey Johnson handbags I love.
What makes her Betsey Johnson bags a work of art is how wacky she is. She uses ordinary materials in a way out way. She uses fabrics created to her own designs or fabrics she has painted and appliqued. Her use of color is outrageous sometimes, and restrained and elegant other times. Her Betsey Johnson leather bag can be an elegant black or in white, green, grey, silver, purple or screaming pink. Her handbag shapes are all functional but surprising, eye catching and unusual.
Everything about Betsey makes a statement, from her great hairstyle to the wonderful, colourful and wacky yet elegant clothing she wears. Her Betsey Johnson bag designs are no different. Each one stands out, each one gets noticed, each one makes a statement that here is a person who really appreciates fashion as a deeply important means of personal creativity.(click here and see what I mean) When you buy a Betsey Johnson handbag you are buying her status: she’s a fashion maven and she helps you make a declaration that you too are a standout and a highly creative individual.
