Bags
Modern women's bags are a very important and functional part of a woman's wardrobe. It is this thing that every girl carries with her almost every day, so the appearance of the handbag can determine the preferences and character of the owner. Practical bags that express the individuality of a girl are created by American designer Donna Karan, owner of the DKNY (Donna Karan New York) brand.
About the brand

Bags from DKNY are roomy, but at the same time, elegant and graceful. The versatile design allows you to wear the same bag with all your favorite outfits, while looking stylish and modern.
The history of the fashion house from DKNY began in the mid-eighties. In many ways, the story of Donna Karan resembles that of style icon Coco Chanel.The designer began her career when faced with the problem of a busy mom in the modern world. In 1985, Donna Karan released her collection for ambitious and very busy young girls who face a huge number of problems while living in the metropolis.
The American-born designer not only created a huge number of branded bags, but also introduced the theory of seven things that must be present in every girl's wardrobe. One of the list of these things is a bag from DKNY (Donna Karan New York).
Donna Karan's brand is one of the few that never fails. Brand items, having appeared in the fashion world more than thirty years ago, are still considered style standards, just like everything that the fashion designer creates now.

fakes

How to distinguish an original from a fake
It is quite easy to distinguish an original bag from a replica. Firstly, you can buy a branded bag only in a company store. The collections of Donna Karan consist of a limited number of bags. Therefore, things are not stale, and you can buy them only immediately after the release of the collection.
Another distinguishing feature is that DKNY bags are always made of genuine leather, and only high-quality silk is used as interior decoration. To check if the product is original in front of you, or just a fake, pay attention to the cut. DKNY (Donna Karan New York) designers leave a small section open where you can see what materials were used in the tailoring.
Prices
Also remember that the original bag from DKNY can not be cheap at all. Bags from Donna Karan cost between $40 and $100. All lower value accessories are most likely counterfeit.
However, this cost of branded accessories is quite low. Therefore, almost any modern girl can afford bags from DKNY.
Reviews

In DKNY bags, every detail is thought out: the quality of the leather, the capacity of the bag, the stable "legs" at the bottom of the bag - everything is done at the highest level.
Such a responsible approach, together with a classic design, makes women of all ages pay attention to bags from Donna Karan. Buy yourself an original handbag of this brand and see for yourself its practicality and versatility.
