Your Bag and Your Back

Do you like Gucci, Coach, Chanel, or Juicy Couture? How 'bout Prada or Kenneth Cole? Fendi, Guess, Christian Dior? Yes! Of course! The glory of designer bags! Well ok, I'll take that. But for my next question - Does your back hurt? You're probably answering YES too. And that's because... "Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer but the extra leverage has many patients complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems." -- So that's why!

With this, William Case, a physical therapist in private practice in Houston, Texas encouraged bag designers "to place a cute, educational caution tag on all bags to inform of potential neck and shoulder dangers." This should also go for "The extra-large purses [that] are quite phenomenal... beautiful when the women wear them," he says. (I liked that he mentioned 'cute' for tags to go with bulky bags.)

Professor Alan Hedge, an ergonomics specialist at Cornell University in New York State, also supported this perspective on the problem with the now-stylish bags saying that "placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient ways of carrying a load." He adds that there's no problem if women are going to use these big shoulder bags (or handbags) as fashion accessories/statements sometimes; at other times and uses though, it's still best to keep your daily baggage back-friendly. (I say otherwise, suffer a bad, very bad posture -- a major style no-no.)

A Superbowl for fashinistas - the New York Fashion Week is hot again for the search for the best designer bags of the year. Why won't people flock at Manhattan's Bryant Park? - Bags are one of those 'girls' best friends.' Yes, not just diamonds.

A get-up wouldn't be complete without the perfect bag. You're not ready for work unless your bag is. And you just wouldn't be in with the celebrities if you don't know a thing about what's in fashion this season. One the other hand, the bag industry has sort of become an exclusive sport for fashion elites. Tsk, tsk. Why don't we take charge in choosing for our selves what's good and not good instead of what they tell that's in or not?

We can start by identifying the most got-to-have color, textures or prints that are sure not to go out-of-style no matter what year it is:

White, Floral, Knitted

These will always be found in your closet no matter what or like it or not. These basics are fresh and vibrant - perfect way to re-start the cycle of a great new year. These are and will always be the mood-setters for spring.

Denim, Striped, Weave

The summer season spells casual. The bags you're carrying should let you feel relaxed, and make you forget all about school or work. These items should get you on the right mood for vacation.

Camel, Gold

Fall season - mmm... a return to Mother Nature, and of course - perfect time for romance. These just captures it.

Black, Silver

If in anyway you can't feel ‘hot' on winter you can still feel cool this chilly season.

Now, who says scouting for the right bag is that hard? Opting for these colors or textures for bags work almost everytime no matter what style or brand.

But of course, you can double up the flair by choosing the top styles of all time - (gold) tote, (camel) hobo, (striped) gym bag, (silver) hand wallet, (white) satchel, or (black) leather flap bags. In fact, the next thing you have to take in besides color or feel are the must-have styles considering its functionality - wallets, clutches, shoulder bags, backpacks, briefcase & portfolio, purses, organizers, messenger bags, flap handbags, and then totes and hobos.

Even if it's not Coach, Chanel, Gucci, Louie Voutton, Prada, Dooney & Bourke, Juicy Couture, Burberry, Vera Bradley, Fendi, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Kathy Van Zeeland, Kate Spade, Lacoste, Miu Miu, Christian Dior, Kenneth Cole, or Nike...
