Fossil Handbags Are Fun To Dig Up!

Fossil Handbags are designed the same way Fossil Watches are.

Focus on fashion as well as function. Provide a diverse collection of different styles. Keep an eye on the budget; make these moderately-priced. If you are looking for a moderately priced handbag that still understands fashion, take a look at Fossil Handbags.

Fossil is one of youngest companies that have successfully launched a handbag business. Fossil was founded in 1984 with the sole focus on providing watches as a fashion accessory by Tom Kartsotis, who is still the chairman. His brother, Kosta N. Kartsotis, joined him later and became president and CEO. They started their business in Richardson, Texas.

Notoriously reclusive, the Kartsotis brothers have not given an interview in over 10 years. I’m not kidding. Well, what do we care? We’re carrying their handbags around, not pictures of them in our wallets, right?

In 1990, the Kartsotis brothers decided to branch out in the fashion accessory world and start selling handbags. Like their watches, Fossil handbags are for the fashion minded who have a moderate budget. Most of their purses are in the under $100 to $200 range. They design their bags in Dallas, Texas, and have them manufactured in Thailand.

Fossil sells its products via department stores, its own specialty stores, its own discount stores, as well via an online site. If all the handbags in your closet are relics (and not the good kind that you with which you’ll be tres chic when they retro cycle back in), then you need to get a Fossil Handbag.

Fossil Handbags come in various colorful jacquard cotton prints (pink, lite blue, mint lime, khaki, tan, black, and dark brown). Fossil bags also have wonderfully smooth leather finishes in your classis brown, tan, and black. If you’re looking for a little bit of punch, try a red finish. They also have some unique offerings in pink canvas and pink ultra shearing.

Fossil Bag styles follow all the current trendy shapes. For smaller bags, you can pick up cute top zip scoop bag or a college print mini barrel bag. For a larger bags, pick up a signature hobo shaped bag, a very fashionable “east west” bag or a satchel.

If you’re looking for help to organize your daily required equipment, let Fossil help! They have some great leather bags in very functional scoop shape or your regular tote shape.

The great thing about Fossil handbags is that you can pick up matching clutches, checkbooks, or coin purses if you like that kind of thing.

Fossil small handbags range from $34.00 to $118.00. Medium sized Fossil handbags range from $36.00 to $138.00. Large Fossil handbags will set you back from $42.00 to $168.00.
