What is it about the classic doctor?s bag that people seem to love so much?
Is it the utilitarian design?
Is it the inherent functionality?
Or is it something to do with nostalgic sentiment and a need to connect with the past?
Fashion designers and fashionistas everywhere seem to be quite taken with these bags.
Many of the leading Italian fashion houses such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Fendi are now producing bags inspired by the classic doctor?s bag.
People just seem to love them!
If these bags strike your fancy, but spending hundreds of dollars on a handbag is not in your budget, there are a number of options available to you.
Why not consider looking around your local antique market?
Many a prized possession has been discovered in out-of-the-way antique markets.
As well, you might consider visiting the vintage clothing shops in your area.
Be sure to speak with the shop keepers or their employees in these stores.
Chances are, if they don?t have it, they can get it!
A quick internet search for these products will also yield plenty of results.
There are a number of websites out there dedicated to handbags and other such products.
If what you are truly looking for is a tried-and-true old school doctor?s bag, why not explore your options on E-Bay?
There is no doubt you will find what you are looking for at the world?s biggest garage sale!
Who knows?
You might even pay next-to-nothing for it.
Apart from the classic leather doctor?s bag, these bags come in a variety of colors and materials.
Bags made from vinyl, canvas, nylon, plastic are all over the marketplace.
Then there are others that are made from exotic materials, such as alligator or ostrich leather.
The choice of materials available for handbags is limited only by your imagination.
In my humble opinion there is no substitute for the classic leather doctor?s bag!
There is just something wonderfully alluring about these bags.
Is it the smell of the leather?
Is it the weight of the bag? I just don?t know.
I?ll have to give it some thought, and get back to you.

Identifying A Nickel Allergy
Identifying A Nickel Allergy
by: Grant Segall
While we have all heard of people having a dust mite allergy, dog or cat allergy, peanut allergy, gluten allergy, and so on, very few of us have heard of the people living with a nickel allergy.
Even so, the number of people living with a nickel allergy is actually on the rise, partly due to the ever-increasing popularity with body piercing in which nickel is a common metal.
In fact, experts estimate that people with a nickel allergy has risen by as much as 40% over the past 10 years, specific to piercing.
With a nickel allergy, the symptoms can strike people of all ages and both genders.
While some people will have immediate reaction, most will have a reaction caused by prolonged exposure to the nickel.
If you have a nickel allergy and like piercings, then you might consider using stainless steel, gold, or silver instead.

Trendsetting Handbag Designers
Trendsetting Handbag Designers
by: Cathy Feldman
The popularity of designer handbags is at an all-time high.
Everywhere we look, from the high street to the nightclub, everyone is carrying a trendy new purse.
It seems that we are often so preoccupied with our new handbags that we tend to forget about the people behind the designs.
I started trying to develop a shortlist of my favorite designers, but I realized that I am in love with the work of far too many to list.
The following are just a few of my favorites.
Chloe is, by far, one the greatest design houses in the world.
I absolutely love their work!
At times, I feel that some of the French designers are a little over the top?but where would true fashion be without their sense of creativity and innovation.
Chloe has been a leader in the world of fashion, especially since the Stella McCartney assumed the helm.
Her star...
