Tod’s Pashmy Bags

Oct 14, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Earlier I let you all in on a glimpse at the Gwyneth Paltrow for Tod’s commercial. A bit long yes, but the focus of the commercial is her stunning Tod’s Pashmy Bag. The Tod’s Pashmy Bags have become iconic for the house and are released in different materials, including plush nylon or exotic snakeskin. While many celebs, including Renee Zellweger and Gwyneth Paltrow opt for the $2,345 snakeskin Pashmy Bag, the nylon has made quite a hit too. Above are some Purse Blog’s favorite Nylon Tod’s Pashmy Bags. Prices range from the mid $300’s to a little over $1,100 for nylon. What do you think of the Pashmy bags?

Oct 14, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

A fur handbag. I am going to be upfront with you; I’m not sure how I feel about this. We are all familiar with how controversial fur and other exotic material is, but that’s not exactly what concerns me here. I think it is the color of the Doce and Gabbana Miss Glamorous Fur Print … Read more

Chloe Messenger Bag

When it comes to buying a new handbag, at what point do you consider your purchase an investment?

Gossip Girl: Season 2, Episode 5

Oct 13, 2008 by Amanda Mull

This is a late post to have you remember the last Gossip Girl and be prepared for GG tonight!

ZOMG, y’all. Gossip Girl! Queen Serena is back on top, and I don’t think Blair is going to take it very well. It’s Fashion Week in New York, Serena is hanging with a socialite named Poppy (perfect socialite name) and they’re playing a Connor Oberst song during the opening sequence (it’s called ‘New York City – Gone’ and you better iTunes it). Between my favorite clothes and my favorite indie rock, they’re practically calling my name this week – but to get the goods, you’ve got to make the jump.

Holiday Books – How Are Designers Selected?

Oct 13, 2008 by Shannon Mahoney

Just this weekend, I was sitting at home, going through some mail from earlier in the week and came across the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

Designers taking ideas from one another?

Oct 13, 2008 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But is it really? Why is it that we have no problem saying that to one another but when we are the person being taken from we do not feel flattered in the least bit? So I wonder how designers feel about this very issue. I am not … Read more

Yves Saint Laurent Small Downtown Tote We have already covered the YSL Downtown Tote.
