Did you notice at the Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton fashion show that some models paraded down the runway in handcuffs while holding on for dear life to their structured handbags?

In an article at Vogue.com, the body language expert Lillian Glass, Ph.D. explains that this showed self-confidence, self-assurance and made a statement that they had nothing to hide.

She also explains the meaning behind the way the Celine models held their bags like “too-heavy sacks of groceries” and explains just what Prada models’ cozy holds on their bags were attempting to say.

Now whether you think there’s a deep psychological meaning to how you hold your handbag or you think this is all a bunch of baloney, there’s no doubt that any woman who carries a vintage handbag is definitely making a statement.

For instance, take today’s VPOD.

Whether you choose to hold this vintage patent leather and gold handbag behind your back a la the Louis Vuitton girls sans handcuffs or at your side in a more traditional manner, you are definitely telling the world that you prefer to listen to that still silent fashion voice inside of you instead of the loud one blasted from megaphones by the fashion industry.

That makes this bag a very expressive find for a vintage fashionista!
