Juicy Couture Handbags

Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Taylor (husband of John Taylor from the 80's pop band Duran Duran) founded Juicy Couture, in 1994, as a designer T-shirt collection. In 1999, Juicy Couture made its foray into denim and sportswear and revealed their now- essential velour, terry cloth and cashmere tracksuits, with their signature style low-riding drawstring pants and form-fitting zip-up hoodies in an array of sumptuous colors.

Now most recognized for inventing the "sexy tracksuit", Skaist-Levy and Taylor have made their velour and terry cloth suits as popular as the little black dress.

Since it's opening, Juicy Couture was acquired by Liz Claiborne Inc. for an undisclosed multi-million-dollar sum. That's quite a success story for a designer of track suits, "Juicy Loves Martha" T-shirts and ruffled velvet tube dresses all manufactured with the signature Juicy logo - two Highland terriers holding a shield bearing three hearts and Love P&G (Pat and Gela, Juicy's creators). A crown lies overhead, while a Juicy Couture banner flies below with underling slogan "Made in the Glamorous U.S.A."

However, Juicy Couture's achievement in the fashion industry has been partly due to their relationship with the Hollywood sect. In fact, Juicy made a wise move when they invited top celebs such as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz to shop for free Juicy Couture designs. Have top style makers photographed in their tracksuits boosted the Juicy Couture label to "chic couture" status alongside long-standing popular celebrity favorites like Guess, Gucci and DKNY.

Today, under the Liz Claiborne Company umbrella, Juicy Couture markets both men's, women's and children's collections, as well as an assortment of Juicy Couture jewelry, handbags and swimwear with Skaist-Levy and Taylor still at the helm as co-presidents.

Juicy Couture Dump Him Roll Bag - in fuchsia, lime green or black, makes a statement with "Dump Him" graffitied across this playful soft leather number. For girls with a more sensitive side the same roll bag design comes bearing "Keep Him" in the same style with chain accents and a hanging heart charm for $100 online.

Juicy Couture Fairytale Roll Bag - a Juicy princess's dream, this roll bag is made of soft black or pink velour decorated with the signature Juicy Couture crest and crowned in glittery gold tone "J" charm for $125 online.

Juicy Couture Lady Sarah Satchel - the Juicy Couture crest crowns this elegant leather bag. Available in light blue or yellow, each satchel is adorned with a dangling heart-shaped tag and a matching fabric sash for $185 online.

I Also Came On Here To Find A Decent Priced Juicy Bag And Im Just Thinking How Unbelievably Sad Some People In The World Are!! I Agree With The Person Who Said That It Means So Much More When You Know You Payed Your Own Money For Your Juicy Bag Etc, But Im 17 Years Old And I Know That Not Every 13 To 18 Year Old Get Their Juicy And All The Other Designer Stuff Payed For Them Because Since I Was 14 Years Old Have Payed For Practically All My Clothes, Shoes, Handbags, Make Up Etc And NEVER Ask My Mam To Buy Me Anything That Is Any Way Expensive As I Know That Its Not Neccesary For Me To Own Over 40 Juicy Bags But Yes If I Want To Get A Juicy Bag I Will Save MY Money That I Earn From MY Part-Time Job On One I WillAnd I Dont Think There Is Anyone Who Has An Issue With That. I Wish That Some Parents Would Teach Their Children The Value Of Money As They Grow Up Before They Become Spoilt Brats That Demand Everything! Anyways Thats My Rant Over. LOL

phahahah.i am over here laughing my butt off because most of the girl who claim to have 500 juicy bags are fake butt liars. besides, no one cares to hear how much juicy you have or your weird obsession with something over priced and over used. wow, three minutes of my life wasted. agreed with two comments below. it's called a "life", juicy girls, tip:GET ONE...

i totally agree with the comment from posted 11/19/09 12.04.00pm. you cant expect everything off mummy and daddy becuase you will never be responsible and you will show how spoilt you are from your attitude. personally parents who dont teach their daughters the values of things obviouly dont care if their child turns out like a spoilt brat. what 13yr old needs an lv or prada? menas so much more when u know u have payed for it.

No one cares if half of your apparell is juicy, or that your mom buys it for you all the time, or if you think its delicious, and you love it, etc. All you sound like are snobby, annoying, full-of-themselves brats, which im sure you are.(: I have a lot of things Juicy Couture and you dont see me on here bragging to everyone about it do you? Or me telling everyone how great and girly it is and i have so many this and that Juicy, blah blah blah. No, exactly. Grow-up! Thanks, mm bye.

hahaha are you all serious? i'm looking for a juicy couture bag that won't be all that expensive, everyone is either being like "OMG like i LUV juicy! like omg! i have 348959 bags! like OMG!" hmm, grow up. first of all stop acting like a dramatic little 10 year old and get over it, who cares how many bags u have? guess. no one cares. and who ever is on here that hates juicy, then take this advice: see the 'x' on theright hand corner of the screen? click it or shut the hell up. (: now if someone would actually like to use this site properly, could you please tell me where to get a bag that won't be too expensive. thank you & have a nice day.

haha i searched up Juicy Couture cheap, and i come on here and your all talking about " i bet you dont even have a juicy" and "i luv juicy!" and you all sound so stupid. Learn how to spell, and give educated answers other than all caps and bragging about the 40-something bags you have. Anyone else looking on this kind of site wants to find someones real opinion on 1.) this site and 2.) Juicy Couture purses and maybe hints of where to find them on sale, etc. Nobody cares how many you have or your personal opinion of them, if you dont like Juicy Couture.... why are you on here? get a life. on the bright side, does anyone have a genuine and spell-checked response on where i could possibly find a nice Juicy Couture purse for sale? or for cheap? ... but please no knock-offs. Thanks!

Well, i like Juicy Couture purses, but i don't have one. I like the daydreamer bags, but I also like the wristlets. If I ever got one I would'nt know what to get! I'm going to ask for one for christmas and see what happens. I'm probably going to ask for a daydreamer bag though.

OMG!!! I luv juicy couture!! The designs r so adorable, I just luv the look!! N my opinion $$$$ doesnt matter as long as its cute, I feel like i can rely on expensive stuff more than cheaper purses, like they won't get torn up!! And btw they won't!! Whoa!!! Some girls get all the juicy!! Haha LOL

just one word for the company_ LOVE!

So in your opening sentence states that "Pamela and Gela" are the owners, then somewhere in the middle you refer to the G&P initials as standing for "Pat & Gela". What's the deal? I assume it was just a type-o and guess it's supposed to be Pam & Gela. I'm online trying to figure out what the initials stand for and now I'm still confused...as are you it seems. I'll check another site.

Juicy is one of the worst retailers with regard to customer service. If you don't have the receipt, they will not refund your money, even if the item is wrapped and in their own bag. The sales person unwittingly left the price on, my son got upset that I spent so much money on his daughter, and I had to return the item. The receipt was enroute to my bookkeeper in another state. I asked them to keep the item and let my bookkeeper fax the receipt so they could credit my credit card to keep me from having to drive 75 miles round trip again, but they wouldn't even do that. This is no way to treat a customer if you want them to return. I never will.
