Dolce & Gabbana Handbags

Dolce & Gabbana was established in 1985, by design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana when they were invited to take part in a fashion show to unveil new design talents. The partners in love and fashion melded their love of bohemian, baroque and the eclectic to introduce a fashion philosophy inspired by Italy's golden age of film.

Today, a red carpet event never ceases to showcase various Dolce & Gabbana creations. They are favorites of starlets such as Isabella Rossellini, Nicole Kidman and Madonna. D & G created the costumes for Madonna's 1993 Girlie Show concert.

Dolce & Gabbana are trendsetters in all of their exclusively high-priced women's ready-to-wear fashion, menswear, fragrances and handbag collections - in which they blend their Mediterranean origins with their most beloved international eccentricities. For example, often seen at Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows is their trademark of dressing models in underwear-as-outerwear by fastening sexy corsets and bra fastenings over polished outfits for a feminine yet fetish feel. Other D&G trademarks include their signature gangster pinstripe suits, lavishly embroidered coats and daringly low cut dresses.

Dolce & Gabbana handbags, just like their other collections, are priced quite high both for the quality and D&G name. You will rarely get your hands on a Dolce & Gabbana bag for less than $200 online. Here are some other D&G favorites:

Dolce & Gabbana Brown Jacquard Handbag - showcases the bronzed Dolce & Gabbana name on a layer of chic beige jacquard with alligator leather detailing and metallic gold leather trim. A circular silver clasp and a Bordeaux hued double leather handles polish the look of this stunning handbag for approximately $500 online.

Dolce & Gabbana Square Patent Handbag - in lustrous black patent leather is embossed with the Dolce & Gabbana emblem. With black patent leather handles and polished steel accents, this purse opens to reveal a satiny animal print interior for approximately $710 online.

Dolce & Gabbana Leather Buckle Tote - this sleek black Italian leather tote has decorative black nylon straps with buckles and a satiny animal print liner interior. Get this rebellious little D&G beauty for $700 online.
