Guess Purses and Handbags

Back in the early 1980s, denim wasn't considered a fashion statement by any means. But thanks to the Marciano brothers, the creators of Guess Inc., jeans have become sensuous, timeless and glam - a crucial piece of apparel considered fashionable in every facet of life.

Today, Guess' designer lines for women, men, children and babies, as well as its accessory line including: designer handbags, eyewear, footwear, jewelry and watches, continue to be directed by the Marciano brothers. Maurice Marciano has overseen the Company's design direction, which today is marketed in about 40 countries and over the Guess website.

Paul Marciano is credited with the vision behind the Guess image and has been responsible for creating some of the sexiest and most ingenious advertising images in history - using then-unknowns such as Claudia Schiffer, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell, Carr Otis, Laetitia Casta and Eva Herzigova and plummeting their careers to supermodel status.

The trademark Guess logo is widely identifiable as a red, downward-facing triangle. The Guess name appears inside the top of the triangle, while a red question mark lies under the company name. The numbers to either side of the question mark, unbeknownst to many, represent the location of the first Guess offices.

Guess produces fun and flirty designer handbags for the bubble gum sect - just think Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie with pink Guess satchels trouncing through their escapades on The Simple Life. Although, some Guess handbags are a bit pricy at $200 a pop, they pale in comparison to the $1,800 price tag on some Fendi handbags. Even more so in recent years, the designers at Guess have made stylish handbags more affordable to the general public starting at $50 to $200.

Guess designer handbag line includes the following sought-after purses:

Guess Betty Satchel or Tote - is available in basic black, mint green and powder pink hues. Guess satchels and totes are made of antique calf leather with matching rounded straps and attached with silver O-rings and stud details. From $160 to $200 online.

Guess Barrel Bags - resemble a slim, circular tube purse. Many are covered with the signature "G" logo jacquard with silver Guess ornamentation. From $35 to $50 online.
