While the summer heat is still burning strong, the bags preview for Fall 2009 look exciting already. From what we have seen so far, the hottest bags do not come from the usual front-runners (Gucci, Fendi or Louis Vuitton) but rather from the underdogs like Tod’s, Valextra and even Ralph Lauren. I personally do not complain as long as the outlook is looking brighter than the somewhat relatively disappointing season it is now. Stay tune! Can’t wait for next season.
