Rihanna loves her red Celine Roll Clutch

May 20, 2013May 20, 2013 by Emily Anderson

Here’s Rihanna, keeping her gorgeous, ruby red Celine Rolled Trio Clutch close in NYC. (She’s carrying it unrolled here.) This bag is from Celine’s Summer 2013 collection, which you can see in its entirety in “The Bags of Celine Summer 2013”. I love Celine’s unique “Trio” bags, like Ri Ri’s rolled version, and the regular … Read more

Purseonals: Salvatore Ferragamo Small Tote in Raffia and Python

May 20, 2013May 20, 2013 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Although I own hundreds of bags, I find myself hunting through my collection to find a bag that I love and will end up carrying for weeks at a time. Sometimes I change out my bags often, but when I find a great bag, I tend to stick with it. A few weeks ago, I … Read more

Check out the gorgeous bags from Chanel Cruise 2014

May 20, 2013 by Amanda Mull

As much as fashion brands love to make a spectacle of themselves, no one does it quite as well (or as thoroughly, or as regularly) as Chanel. When Karl Lagerfeld decides on a theme, he goes for it whole-heartedly. For Chanel Cruise 2014, though, his theme seemed simply to be “Chanel.” The show, held in Singapore, bore occasional details that referenced the Asian location – a few cricket bats, tweeds developed to be comfortable in hot climates – but the things that popped most were the Chanel classics, especially when it came to the beautiful handbags.

The Best Bag Deals for the Weekend of May 17

May 17, 2013 by Amanda Mull

We’re one week closer to the arrival of summer and mere days away from the three-day weekend that unofficially begins the beach season, and it seems like it was just yesterday that we were all complaining about the cold and its refusal to leave. (Ok, it sort of was yesterday – it got downright chilly in New York at the beginning of the week.) To console yourself for the fact that it’s not quite Memorial Day yet (but so, so close), we’ve taken done our usual Friday thing – scoured the Internet for bags that are on sale and begging to be purchased. Check ’em out below, but only when your boss isn’t standing behind you.

May 17, 2013 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

In the next few months you will be seeing a lot more shoe love from our team; we continue to share our footwear obsessions at TalkShoes, because what handbag lover doesn’t love shoes as well? (And vice versa, of course.) One of my favorite shoe brands is Salvatore Ferragamo – the brand’s shoes are legitimately … Read more

I’ve spotted Mindy with a few different Chanel bags on The Mindy Project this season, including this very bag and a cute little yellow Chanel Mini Flap. I suppose this one is from her personal stash – or she just … Read more

The Celine Trio Bag is the latest of the brand’s designs to inspire imitators

May 16, 2013May 16, 2013 by Amanda Mull

It was only a matter of time. At first, the Celine Trio Bag flew under the radar – with its small proportion and ultra-minimal look, the bag wasn’t the kind of blockbuster that the Luggage Tote and Trapeze were, but it also wasn’t meant to be. Instead, the Trio is a little bag for in-the-know … Read more

Moda Operandi Exclusive: Hermes Birkin Bag Graffiti'd by artist Travis W. Simon

Moda Operandi’s punk boutique has a late arrival: this custom-graffiti’d Hermes Birkin

May 16, 2013 by Amanda Mull

Just when you thought that the one-of-a-kind, graffiti-clad Hermes Kelly Bag was the pièce de résistance of the Moda Operandi bunk boutique, the retailer has added a late contender to the game: this (also one-of-a-kind, also graffiti-clad) Hermes Birkin Bag, customized just for Moda by artist Travis W. Simon. When you see the finished product (after the jump), you won’t believe that the bag started out as a standard black Birkin from Heritage Auctions.
