Nobody knows fashion quite like Christian Audigier. He has worked for companies such as Von Dutch, bringing them international notoriety with the Von Dutch Originals line. But Audigier wanted to make his own original line, and so Ed Hardy apparel, a line based on the work of tattooist Don Ed Hardy, was born.

Even though Audigier has gone to great lengths to create a line that is the epitome of style, he has not shirked on the comfort and wearability factor. This is clear, more than anywhere else, in his line of tote bags and handbags.

Designer handbags often have small pockets that are useful only for decoration and little else. They are often made an awkward size. They are not small enough to use as a purse on a night out, but not large enough to use as a day to day bag. Quite simply, they are not designed with the user in mind.

Ed Hardy bags, however, come in all shapes and sizes. They are designed for a modern person with an urban lifestyle, and it's hard to find anything lacking from the line. There are small purses for a night out, tote bags perfect for a day at the beach, and rucksacks for an overnight stay. Some even come with a small purse to match, like the "Ed Hardy Denim Desiree Bag."

With designs that are both stylish and practical, bags like the "Ed Hardy Stripe Sally Bag" have a bright and colourful look, but never lose that Ed Hardy edge. You can feel safe in the knowledge that you will never again lose your bag amongst all the other samey designer bags in the cloakroom or at a restaurant, because Ed Hardy bags truly stand out.

Ed Hardy bags are sure to have what you're looking for, whether you're going on a picnic or out to a posh cocktail night with friends. Those Louis Vuitton staples and Gucci purses have got to go, because this summer wouldn't be complete without a bag from the new Ed Hardy line.
