#159 - Blue - Handbags and Gladrags Text reads:
Looks matter. That's what we're told about Earth, anyway. In fact, the only thing that matters more is money. So, if a girl's got to have the latest fashions but can't afford them, certain compromises have to be met in terms of quality...
Which designers are the inspriation for these wonderful - and affordable - 'homages'?

so i glanced at the spoilerated answers, and thought to myself "Hm, I dont know any of these." But i'd like to work out the solve on my own. So like, someone in the know: Any chance of a hint fFor researching answers? I've attempted ebaying and random googling fFor similar patterns, but I'm seeing that's just not going to work. I could look at purses all day and not see anything close, I think. Is this card simply a matter of trivia? Either one knows what brands are represented, or one fFails at this card? Or is there a good way to work it out?

Well, it certainly helps a lot if you can identify some of the signature patterns, logos or adornments...and some basic knowledge of fashion labels would give you a few options for more effective googling.
A random search for "handbags" just gave me this link , which should get you started...
Of course, if you were to venture into the open, you could also check out some shop windows. Who knows what you might find...

Scott, I had a similar problem. I had some idea of two of them, two more I found by spending far too long looking at websites full of handbags, and C had me totally stuck.
The puzzle's probably really easy if you're a handbaggy type of person, but otherwise it's really difficult finding the blessed things.

I solved this pretty simply just by typing descriptions of the bags into google. OK, my daughter helped too...

Can't say I'm not devoted. I went to a fFashion expo in search of answers. HA! Exhibitors at the show completely did not understand what on earth I was talking about, so I had to really simplify the question. Liek I was sort of hoping to maybe rope some people in to pxc, but no, it became a sort of "what brand does this look like? yes I know it's not exactly like the real thing. What does it look like to you?" I was hoping to get pictures of bags fFor comparison purposes, but that's quite taboo. In all it was a very fFrustrating time.

I showed this card to my old english teacher, and in 30 seconds I had a correct answer.

I found 5 of the 6 here .
I came upon the link by googling 'designer handbags.' It's easier to look at the patterns than trying to find an exact match.

Handbag A Random passerby I was walking home tonight and looked over to see a random college student carrying handbag A. I asked her what brand it was and I got the answer to A. I used other suggestions from this thread to finish the card.

I recognised three of them then showed the card to OH. She knew the all instantly. For her this is a red (although she stopped looking at those after I soved Cow cow cow cow cow ).
