Another Friday has arrived, and of course that means another PurseForum Roundup. We found a different kind of bling this week in the Jewelry Box, and also dropped into Kate Spade and Coach. We have some lovely bags to share from Louis Vuitton, too. Come on in and enjoy the week’s conversations and reveals with us!
Month: February 2014
Hilary Duff Carries Both Celine and Givenchy to the Gym
Here’s Hilary Duff, leaving the gym in West Hollywood (in a pair of heels, no less!), clearly showered, blow-dried and ready to take on her post-workout day. She’s carrying both a Celine Luggage Tote and a Givenchy Antigona Bag – one bag for pre-gym, one bag for post-gym, I suppose? Celine bags aren’t sold online, … Read more
Fendi Tones It Down (But Just a Bit) for Fall 2014
After two seasons in a row of furry, futuristic, ultra-covetable wildness from the brand, Fendi’s Fall 2014 Handbags are a bit of a step back toward simplification, if only a small one. There’s a bit less fur, fewer textural embellishments and not as many colors residing on a single purse, but there’s still the signature … Read more
The Best Bag Deals for the Weekend of February 21
We’ve survived another week of winter, and right now, I’m trying to remind myself that means we’re another week closer to spring. It’s going to be mild and sunny in New York and on much of the East Coast this weekend, and as we are wont to celebrate everything on Fridays, we’re here with another … Read more
Behold: The Fendi Karl Lagerfeld Bag Bug
You can say a lot of things about Fendi creative director Karl Lagerfeld, but you can’t claim the man doesn’t have a sense of humor about himself. Fendi, a brand that knows as well as any other when it has a hit on its hand and how to maximize its success, opened its Fall 2014 … Read more
Beverly Hills Rich Kid Dorothy Wang Carries Pink Hermes
Here’s Dorothy Wang, one of the stars of E! reality show Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, headed into Dan Tana’s restaurant in LA, carrying a bubblegum pink Hermes Kelly Bag and a shopping bag from Barneys. I’ve never seen the show, but my editor Amanda tells me that it’s a great hate-watch, and that Dorothy … Read more
#PBWIMB Instagram Roundup – February 19th
According to this week’s #PBWIMB Instagram Roundup, I think I can confidently say everyone (or nearly everyone) is a fan of Chanel. Here at PurseBlog Headquarters, we see plenty of Chanel on a daily basis, but this week on Instagram it was particularly apparent, and we’re certainly not complaining. Take a look below at all … Read more
Gucci Goes Back to Basics for its Fall 2014 Handbags
During her tenure at the brand, creative director Frida Giannini has taken enormous strides in streamlining and simplifying what it is to be the Gucci woman. Tom Ford’s hard-nosed excess was fun, but Giannini has long offered up a softer experience that is more viscerally luxurious, and she’s taken that even another step further with … Read more
The Many Bags of Celebs at London Fashion Week Fall 2014
London Fashion Week tends to get short shrift when it comes to evaluating the month of fashion shows that we all look forward to and/or endure every six months. It’s the shortest of the four “weeks,” and arguably the least prestigious, although the Brits have a knack for figuring out what’s coming next before anyone … Read more
Cara Delevingne Designs Capsule Collection for Mulberry
After middling results with the Mulberry Del Rey Bag, Mulberry has chosen a more fashion-centric name for its next celebrity collaboration. Supermodel of the moment Cara Delevingne has signed on to design (“design”) and rep the Mulberry Cara Delevingne Bag, which comes in three sizes, all of which are convertible between a tote and backpack. … Read more
Sofia Vergara and Her Chanel Bag Have Us Craving Summer
Sofia Vergara was recently spotted carrying a white Chanel Flap Bag in Sydney, Australia. Several other Modern Family cast members have been intercepted by Aussie paps around Sydney recently, so I suppose we can all expect the “Modern Family: Down Under” special one hour episode to air in the not-so-distant future. To view the rest … Read more
Want It Wednesday: All Animal Print Everything
Here at the PurseBlog offices, we’re intent on marching forth into spring, even if the weather intends not to cooperate with our sartorial whims until late May. (Please, please let it warm up, or at least stop snowing, before then. For our sanities’ sakes.) In that spirit, today’s edition of Want It Wednesday covers all … Read more
