Guess is a fashion brand established by the Marciano brothers, Maurice Marciano and Paul Marciano in 1981. At the beginning, the Marciano brothers were creating denim products inspired by the European-fashion influence. The Bloomingdale’s, an American department store owned by Macy’s Inc., stored their first brand, denim jeans. Apparently, the people were welcoming their products, and it only took hours before their products in Bloomingdale’s sold out. This was the beginning of the Marciano brothers’ success story in fashion. After seeing the responses of the people, the Marciano brothers started to expand their products into clothes, watches, jewelry, handbags, and perfumes, even kid products. In 1985, they started to introduce their iconic black and white advertisement performed by unknown faces. Many of the performers were later become famous artists and supermodels, such as Anna Nicole Smith and Drew Barrymore.
However, as time goes by, the Marciano brothers’ popularity were drowned by the other competitor brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel, and Gap in the 1980s. Fortunately, after facing some hard time from 1980s to the late of 1990s, Guess started to turn over the situation in 2000. Using unusual look and different style of advertisement, Guess began to rise again and gained the attention of many people. Later on, in 2007, Guess started their new concept by focusing to target specific customers which are young men and women aged 16-23. Since guess’s products are addressed for young people, their designs usually symbolize a young, sexy and adventurous lifestyle. Unlike other fashion products which show maturity and formality, Guess’s products show the stylish, pretty, and eye-catching designs.
As many other kind of fashion products, Guess handbags are one of the young people’s favorite gears. As stated before, Guess handbags are designed to show the spirit of the youngsters and instead of trying to make them look elegant, Guess handbags are adjusted to make the user look glamour, young, and sparkling. If you look at the interior of Guess handbags, you can find that, instead a good appearance from the outside, they also have an interesting and colorful interior. However, Guess handbags are still suitable for mature and professional women who want to look sporty and agile. They are perfect for people of all ages.
Aside from the designs, another thing that differs the Guess handbags from any other branded handbag, is the price. It is a stereotype that the price of a product reflects the quality of the product, the more expensive the product is, the better quality it has. If you compare the price of Guess handbags with other branded handbags, such as Prada, Hermes, or Chanel, you might find that Guess handbags are the cheapest among them, usually only around $50 to $150. However, the cheap price of Guess handbags does not mean they also have cheap quality.
Since Guess products are addressed for young people, they also consider the pricing factor. Young people commonly do not have money as much as adults who have worked for years do. Nevertheless, it does not mean that young people do not need fashion. That is why Guess tries to fulfill their desire of fashion by producing products particularly for young people. Still, Guess preserves the quality of the products by using genuine materials and handmade fabrication process.
Guess’s products have been imitated a lot and there are many fake Guess products spread in the market. It is because of the cheap price which makes it hard to differ between the authentic products and the fake products. Therefore, before buying Guess products, it will be better if you make sure the authenticity of the products by asking the seller and try to buy the products from the original Guess store.
Guess stores are spread around the world, mostly in malls and department stores. Since there are many fake Guess products, if you want to buy the genuine one in Singapore, you can find it in Paragon, a prominent and sophisticated mall in the center of Orchard Road, which also offers the latest fashion products of all brands. Paragon guarantees that the outlets are original and providing authentic products for all of Guess lovers.
