PurseBlog Asks: Would You Buy A Designer Bag For A Kid?

Jul 15, 2013 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

This is a topic that will easily elicit strong feelings on both sides, but it is a conversation worth having. I got my first designer handbag in 7th grade. I was 13. I had been begging my mom for a Coach bag, and after what felt like years of annoyance, my mom got both me … Read more

3.1 Phillip Lim Camouflage Canvas 31 Hour Bag

We Can Almost Get Behind 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Camo Bags

Jul 12, 2013 by Amanda Mull

I used to be very much anti-camouflage. I remember the trend coming around when I was in high school, and I always felt very clever telling people that I thought camo should be worn by combat troops and No Limit Soldiers only, which is why you’d never find me wearing it. We’re all so cute at that age, aren’t we? As an adult, I’m more open-minded, and Valentino recently proved that camo can indeed be done in a successfully high-end way. Right now, though, we’re pretty interested in 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Camouflage Bags.

It’s too hot and humid outside in New York, it’s been that way for what seems like weeks. It also might rain at any given moment – no one knows, not even the weather people, and it’s been a constant source of wardrobe frustration. You dress for rain and it never comes.

Fill in the Blank: “I’d carry the Shourouk Crystal-Embellished PVC Clutch to…”

Jul 12, 2013 by Amanda Mull

I love it when jewelry brands get into the handbag business. They bring with them a sense of embellishment and attention to detail (especially hardware) that often makes it immediately apparent that the brand started out in a more blinged-out section of the fashion business, and that’s definitely true of the Shourouk Crystal-Embellished PVC Clutch. … Read more

Miranda Kerr Caps a Casual Summer Outfit With a Tiny Louis Vuitton Bag

Aug 6, 2013Jul 11, 2013 by Emily Anderson

Designer minis are currently enjoying something of a celeb heydey. Case in point: here’s a very casual Miranda Kerr, carrying both her son Flynn and a Louis Vuitton Monceau BB Bag in NYC. The Monceau BB is a teensy tiny update on the classic LV Monceau design, which originally made its debut in 1986. I … Read more

Charlotte Olympia Might Have Gone a Bridge Too Far With These Bear Head Clutches

Jul 11, 2013 by Amanda Mull

Well. When I first laid eyes on the Charlotte Olympia Ted Silk Satin Bear Shoulder Bag, I thought designer Charlotte Dellal was kidding. Dellal never kids, though. Or maybe she always kids, depending on how much credit you’re willing to ascribe to her for the humor in her work. One has to admit: a $700 … Read more

Perfect Pairs: Fendi 2Jours Bag and By Terry Baume de Rose Lip Protectant

Jul 11, 2013 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Since I first laid eyes on the Fendi 2Jours Bag, it was love at first sight. This is a bag that stands out when you see it online, but in person it’s even more stunning. Every bit of the bag is refined and elegant, without appearing old or stuffy. In fact, if you’re looking for … Read more

The Many Bags of Rihanna, Part Two

Jul 11, 2013Jul 11, 2013 by Amanda Mull

Before we move forward, you should all know that I have become an irrational Rihanna fangirl. Not of her music, necessarily – I don’t own any of her albums – but of Rihanna as a character in the media. I love that she wears (and generally pulls off) outrageous things, I love how well she … Read more
