Mutti Merkel handbags Multikulti

"Multiculturalism has failed." With three fatal words in her speech addressed to young members of her Christian Democratic Union party on 15 October, Angela Merkel has reignited the debate on Islam which has divided Germany in recent months. ""We feel tied to Christian values. Those who don't accept them don't have a place here," said the chancellor. To illustrate the "clash of civilisations" in German politics, the magazine Focus has published a special dual-front page edition. The first front page features "My Germany," by President Christian Wulff, who recently declared that Islam “belongs” in the country. The second turns the spotlight on "his Germany" — the Germany of Horst Seehofer, premier of Bavaria and a key member of Merkel's ruling coalition, who insists "it is not our vocation to be a social worker for the world's immigrants," and presents a seven-point plan for immigration in the weekly’s pages. Somewhere in between these two positions, Angela Merkel, is struggling to assert her authority in the face of rumours that she may be replaced by Defence Minister Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg in the run-up to difficult regional elections. Labelling the debate “out of date,” Tageszeitung argues that the notion of "multikulti" is no longer relevant. Even the Greens "stopped using the term about ten years ago, because it says nothing about contemporary life in Germany," remarks the alternative daily, dismissing demands for "more integration" (Merkel) and "more Leitkultur" (Seehofer) as empty posturing. Germany needs to bring in some 400,000 skilled workers, and "the government cannot expect to attract highly qualified migrants and, at the same time, promote a fear of foreigners." History is repeating itself In contrast, Die Welt argues that Merkel and Seehofer have a point. For the conservative daily, the issue is not about "immigrants who want to live, work and put down roots in our country, but many people are hostile to immigrants who import their laws with them.” Horst Seehofer and Angela Merkel are right to insist that immigrants should willingly and enthusiastically adopt the traditions of their host country. And Die Welt points out that in practice this means “learning to speak German in a reasonable time, and swearing on the Grundgesetz [the basic law of the German Federal Republic]." A TAZ opinion piece argues that history is repeating itself, and draws a number of parallels between the current resurgence of right-wing politics — 37% of Germans believe there should be no place for Islam in the country and more than 50% "want to limit Muslim religious freedom” — and troubled moments in history. In particular, it likens the current debate to the dispute over Jewish immigrants, which took place against a back drop of economic crisis shortly after the unification of Germany in 1879. At the time, the nationalist politician and writer Heinrich von Treitschke called for the full assimilation of religious minorities. "More than 130 years later, the current debate on Islam has been marked by similar demands,” notes Tageszeitung. “Any illusions we may have had about cheerful patriotism in a happy and increasingly civilised country have effectively been dispelled. The atmosphere in October 2010 resembles the dark days of the 1980s and 1990s, when Turkish and other foreigners’ homes were burning in Germany." "We can count on the Germans to remain level-headed" Die Zeit notes that the upsurge in populism in the ruling coalition has been prompted by fears of growing radicalism in the electorate. "At a time when major political parties appear to be increasingly devoid of legitimacy , Germany has also fallen victim to the temptation of populism," complains the weekly. Horst Seehofer has put himself on a par with the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders, while Angela Merkel, and the rest of the political establishment have been rattled by the success of Thilo Sarrazin xenophobic and populist theories. Thus "the attempt to surf the wave [launched by Sarrazin], is reflection of the fear that it may sweep them off their feet." For Die Zeit, the debate has highlighted the extent to which immigration policy has become a headline issue, like disarmament and relations with Eastern Europe in the 1970s. "We can count on the Germans to remain level-headed," argues the weekly. "Surveys have shown that people are increasingly sceptical about Islam. But can a country that has accepted the construction of 2,600 mosques and prayer centres without major controversy really be described as Islamophobic?" The Hamburg newspaper believes the Muslim community should confirm the fact that Germany is generally a tolerant society in a context where "there is no guarantee that this country will continue to sustain its current level of openness. At the same time, politicians should tell the truth and avoid pandering to people’s fears: No, we are not about to be overwhelmed by hordes of Muslims." Die Zeit reminds its readers that the number of migrants leaving the country now exceeds the number of new arrivals, and on this basis it argues that the focus of the debate is misplaced. "(D)iscussions should not be about the level of tolerance for Islam in Germany, but about the extent to which Germans are willing to accept a lack of generosity on the part of the state."

Handbag PR: Brahmin

In the 1800’s, the term Brahmin indicated high social standing, wealth or influence. Today, Brahmin handbags have come to embody the essence of those standards in the form of luxury handbags. Since 1982, the New England based company has come to represent timeless, high-quality accessories that compliment the contemporary sophisticate. Brahmin handbags aim to “redefine the classics”, and the croc-embossed leather handbags complimented by solid brass hardware don’t disappoint. Made from the finest Italian leather, these stylish bags are enough to make any woman salivate. It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with the Dagny & Daphne collection. Featuring structured totes, the goal of this line is to transition seamlessly from day to night. The larger version of the tote has the functionality of a typical hobo bag, with the sophistication of the Brahmin name. Another favorite is the Melbourne collection – especially the jewel-toned Amethyst and fiery crimson Mandarin lines. These collections feature ever-popular crossbody and shoulder bags, and drip with sophistication. Aside from handbags, the brand also offers a wide range of accessories, including wallets, cosmetic cases, and key rings. My personal favorite is the Lipstick Case from the Classic Tuscan Collection. Lipstick cases are a chic, often underappreciated accessory that makes putting on lipstick so much more glam. Retailing at only $35, it’s a great way to buy into the brand, even if you’re on a tight budget. Because the leather and solid brass hardware is of the most superb standards, the price point is a bit high --- the base retail price for most handbags starts at about $295. Reasonably so, because the purses are designed to last. Just think of it as a very fashionable investment! If you like to stand out, Brahmin bags are a fabulous alternative to more-recognized brands like Coach or Longchamp, without the price tag that comes with Chanel. With so many different styles and finishes to pick from, there’s slim chance that you’ll run into another woman with the same handbag.

Avelle raises cash as new rival Bonanza expands into handbags

There's been some interesting developments in Seattle's online handbag retailing sector. Yep, that's right. For whatever reason, Seattle has several upstarts trying to make it easier for women to buy, rent or sell handbags. The latest entrant is Bonanza, which today announced a specialty store with more than 20,000 handbags from top brands such as Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Balenciaga. The news comes as Avelle -- formerly known as Bag Borrow or Steal and one of the early entrants in the online handbag retailing space -- raised new cash. According to a SEC filing, Avelle raised $1 million debt financing from existing investors. Avelle CEO Mike Smith confirmed the new funding, adding that the company is "focused on evaluating our strategic options." That could include raising another round, seeking a buyer or growing the business organically, Smith said. The company raised a $15 million round in 2007 from Madrona Venture Group, Steelpoint Capital, Kuwait Holding Co., Hilltop Investments and others. That brought total funding at the time to $27 million. Bonanza -- which changed its name from Bonanzle and purchased Seattle startup 1000 Markets last month-- appears to be taking direct aim at its crosstown rival. Dubbed Bags Bonanza, the new site is the company's attempt to pocket some of the $5 billion worldwide handbag market. Bonanza CEO Bill Harding said that no clear leader has emerged in the category, with some sites offering few choices and others lacking top-notch customer service. "We intend to build Bags Bonanza into a destination that combines the greatest breadth of handbags online, with the attention to detail that handbag buyers crave," Harding said. Bonanza raised $1 million in April from Matrix Partners, Ignition Partners, Voyager Capital, Founder's Co-op, Curious Office Partners and prominent Seattle angels such as Ben Elowitz of Wetpaint and Andy Liu of BuddyTV. Avelle's Smith said he was aware of Bags Bonanza, noting that the company is starting out with a lot of inventory. However, he said one of the challenges operating a marketplace for designer handbags is making sure that the bags are authentic. "There are so many fakes and knock-offs out there," said Smith, adding that he wasn't sure whether the Bonanza concept would appeal to high-end shoppers. He added that Avelle rejects a percentage of handbags because they can't authenticate whether they are real. That sort of quality control can be costly, but it strengthens the company's connections with the high-end designers, Smith said. In addition to offering handbag rentals, Avelle also launched a new business of buying and selling authentic designer goods. That business has taken off which has led to internal discussions about Avelle's next steps, Smith said.

American handbag companies set to open first stores in the UK

US handbag designer Deborah Lloyd ramps up Kate Spade the brand's visibility this October with the opening of her first UK store and the debut of the first pair of denim jeans in her collection. Meanwhile, American leather goods company Coach is also set on conquering the UK market with ambitious plans to open up to 15 stores within the next three years.

Kate Spade will launch its first UK pop-up store in London's Covent Garden on October 13 through November 10. Situated at 7 Henrietta St., the 2,700-square-foot (250 square meters) boutique will feature the entire Kate Spade collection, including handbags, luggage, shoes, jewelry, stationery, eye-wear and apparel.

The brand has earned a cult following among women since its launch in 1993 thanks to Spade's cute and practical handbags that suit both work and play. Famed for their vintage shapes, luxurious detailing and ladylike embellishments, they range in various shapes from work totes to tiny clutches and are available in a multitude of textures ranging from leather to the brand's signature nylon.

In addition to the company's transatlantic foray, they're also delving into the world of denim this fall. Kate Spade has recently unveiled their Broome Street Jeans, named for the street that her Soho, New York store resides on. The deep indigo-rinse skinny jeans taper at the ankles, making them optimal for both day (when paired with colorful ballerina flats) or night (when worn with fierce stilettos). Sizes run from 23 to 34. Jeans sell for $195 a pair. They are now available for purchase in-store or online at http://www.replicashermes.com/. The website only processes domestic US orders but will ship to the UK as of November 10th.

Another American handbag company with plans to penetrate the UK market is Coach. The $3.61 billion brand has already made successful forays in Europe (notably in Spain and France) and now has plans to open between up to 15 Coach locations within the UK over the next three years.

Coach had already entered the UK market in the 1990s, but had pulled the plug on operations due to poor sales figures and a general lack of reception by British customers. Despite the initial flop, Coach is intent on growing its brand there. The first store, a 3,000-square-foot (278 square meters) shop at the Westfield White City mall in West London, will open its doors in Spring 2011. And over the summer, Coach will also launch a 5,100-square-foot (473 square meters) flagship (the first in Europe) on New Bond Street.
