More Replica Handbag Styles
Another thing you’re going to find referred to everywhere is styles of replica bags like Boston, Hobo and Carryall. This refers more to standardized style elements, like shape, material, size that originated with a particular handbags designer but have been taken up by the fashion purses world. LV, Gucci, Fendi and Chanel all have “Hobo” bags for instance. Learn what that means, just below.
The Boston Bag: Made Famous by Gucci
The Boston style refers to a two handled designer bag held in the hand, usually very sturdy and boxy (Think a very stylized bowling bag). All Bostons look roughly the same construction wise, it’s the material and pattern that changes. This is totally a Gucci phenomenon, making up a large portion of their most famous bags, but there are also well known Bostons by Fendi, Dior and others.
The Gucci Boston bag is instantly recognizable on the replica handbag sites.
The CarryAll: Louis Vuitton’s Bread & Butter
The Carryall is a designer bag style that does exactly what it sounds like it would: carry everything. A very popular bag for day trips or as carry on luggage, it was first done by Louis Vuitton, a brand whose roots are in luggage making, which should explain why they’d make a fashion handbag with a definite travel usage in mind. Since though brands like Coach and Prada have made very distinctive Carryalls. The Louis Vuitton Monogram Carryall is among the most popular all time replica handbags out there.

The City Bag: Celebrity Designer Handbags
While the term City Bag is almost entirely open to interpretation (I mean if it’s worn in the city, and it’s a bag…) there are a few things that make this a distinct tradition. Sleek, boxy, very chic, held in hand or on a single shoulder strap, and medium sized. These are designer bags that often become the “it” bag, designed specifically to top the fashion trends, and wind up in the hands of a celebrity. Some examples of these are the Speedy 30, the Manhattan GM, the Balenciaga Le Dix, and Gucci Aviatrix.

The Hobo Bag: Prada Designs at Their Best
Strange name for a fashion handbag, wouldn’t you say? The Hobo is a medium sized satchel, usually on a single, short shoulder strap, that’s characterized by the slouch in the center, giving it a sort of crescent moon shape. Hobos are usually made of light canvas or soft leather. Fendi, Prada, Gucci and LV all have extremely famous versions. The Hobo look has been associated with bohemian chic and urban trends, and popularized most by Prada, Miu Miu and Fendi with that sort of sassy, sexy look in designer bags.
