Etienne Aigner

The Allure of Etienne Aigner

Ever since I was a little girl, I've been exposed to Etienne Aigner handbags. My mother has always carried an Aigner bag, and I remember touching the supple, soft burgundy leather and smelling the leathery fragrance. That's what I remember most about my mother from my childhood years -- that burgundy Aigner purse.

As I got older, I wanted my own Etienne Aigner bag. But our family was on a budget, and my mother just wasn't comfortable spending a whole lot on a purse for a child. So, I had to make the best of my discount store denim purses I favored, at least until I turned sixteen.

On my sixteenth birthday, my mother presented me with a beautifully wrapped box. What could be inside? I had no idea. When I opened my gift, I was thrilled to discover my very own, brand new burgundy leather Etienne Aigner bag! I carried that bag with pride every single day, and truth be told, I still do.

Sure, I have other purses now that I also love. DKNY is a favorite of mine. I also have a few really cute designer replica bags that look just like the real thing! You should see the envious glances I get when I go shopping with my Louis Vuitton replica on my shoulder. It looks so authentic, only I know it's not the real thing!

But when I want something that's classic, beautiful, that matches every outfit -- I reach for my Etienne Aigner purse. It also holds sentimental value for me. Every time I smell that leather scent and see that rich burgundy leather, I think of Mom! I laugh when I think about the pronounciation that she, and everyone else in my small town uses. Although it's supposed to be 'ahn-yay,' Mom and the rest of my clan say 'ag-ner.' I once used the correct pronounciation in front of my friends and instead of commending me on my sophistication, they rewarded me with odd looks!

Etienne Aigner sells other bags besides the burgundy ones, but honestly, the burgundy leather bags are their signature look. If you're on a budget or already have a beloved purse, you can buy Etienne Aigner change purses, sunglass cases, cigarette cases, and even umbrellas for a lower price than a full sized handbag.
