Fossil Purses and Handbags

When thinking Fossil handbags - think Guess prices without all the excess hardware. Fossil manufactures lines of simply designed, yet durable genuine leather and jacquard fabric handbags for very affordable prices - between $40 and $120.

Fossil was founded in 1984 with the hope of establishing their Fossil, Relic and Zodiac designer watches as more of a fashion accessory then a purely functional time-telling device.

Fossil's vintage 1950s Americana designed watches were so successful that today over 300 styles have since been added, in addition to women's and men's wallets, handbags, belts, key chains, backpacks and eyewear. Fossil products are currently retailed in over 90 countries, as well as online.

The majority of Fossil's handbags and backpacks come in small, medium and large designations, each with a Fossil trademark silver key embossed with the Fossil trademark.

Some popular handbags in Fossil's Signature line include the following styles:

Fossil Signature Barrel Handbag - Part of the Fossil Signature line, this barrel handbag resembles a long, circular tube in a variety of patterned jacquard fabric with leather trim. Each Fossil barrel handbag is available in small, medium and large and comes with a trademark Fossil silver key for approximately $40 online.

Fossil Signature Flap Satchel - Part of the Fossil Signature handbag line, this satchel style bag has a flap buckle closure and comes in a variety of patterned jacquard fabric with leather trim. Each comes with a trademark Fossil silver key and is available in small, medium and large sizes for between $73 and $100 online.

Fossil Signature Hobo - Also a part of the Fossil Signature line, this hobo style handbag has a front buckle closure and comes in various colors of jacquard fabric with leather trim. Available in small, medium and large sizes each comes with a trademark Fossil silver key for approximately $80 and $100.

I am looking for the leather purse you had made with one side a drop down and inside a file for cards and other flat items. A zipper holds the drop down. The other side has one pocket and my cell phone fits in there. There are no buckles The inside has a center zip pocket and two compartments with an inside side pocket.

I have a Fossil bag with a woven fabric and leather that I purchased a year or so ago. It needs cleaning and the dry cleaners won't touch it. How can I clean the fabric myself? I love the little bag.
