Mansur Gavriel bags are already incredibly hard to get your hands on. The tales of wait lists and eBay hunts for the accessibly priced line are well known in fashion circles at this point, and now the brand has introduced something even more rare and special: four of its most-loved bags in silver saffiano leather, available only at Opening Ceremony.

Gift Guide 2014: 25 Gifts for Moms of All Types
Look, here’s the thing: the best advice I can give you on getting a gift for your mom, or for the moms around you, is that you should just buy them the nicest thing that you can afford and that you think they will enjoy.

The Row Expands Its Handbag Line with (Slightly) More Accessible Prices
It’s been clear from the jump that affordable bags were never going to be The Row’s stock-in-trade. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have built an upstart powerhouse by using the finest materials available to reinvent basics ranging from black blazers to cable-knit sweaters, and the duo’s $34,000 alligator backpack launched a trend almost single-handedly. Now, the company appears to be expansion-minded, with a new lineup of slightly less expensive bags that could pull in a larger customer base.

In that spirit, we’ve been scouring our feed for the best and prettiest bags, as always. Take a look below for 55 amazing Chanel bags we found from some of our favorite Instagrammers.
The Ultimate Bag Guide: The Céline Luggage Tote
When a newly revitalized Céline debuted the Luggage Tote in 2010 under the direction of industry heavyweight Phoebe Philo, it wasn’t immediately clear that the design would turn into the industry-altering heavyweight that it has. At first, the bag was relatively easily available on the stores of shelves that had carried the brand before its … Read more
Real Talk with Amanda: The Worst Celebrities Carry the Best Bags
Since we started doing daily celebrity coverage a couple of years ago, you guys have picked up on the same phenomenon I have: a star’s cultural clout is almost always inversely proportional to the quality of her handbag collection. There are exceptions here and there–most notably, Reese Witherspoon–but the reason that reality stars and tabloid fixtures love carrying designer bags is the same reason that many of us do, or at least why we did when we started.

Instagram Handbag Celebrity: @pursebop
This week’s Instagram celebrity is one whose bags we’ve been drooling over since we discovered her over on the PurseForum a few years ago. She’s a woman whose bag collection has more Chanel than an actual store and who has a group of girlfriends with bags equally as gorgeous. For those of you who aren’t familiar with her already, meet @pursebop.
Not All Hermès Bags are Birkins: A Primer
Two days ago, Kim Kardashian did something that tends to garner her a lot of attention, both here and elsewhere: she carried an Hermès bag that was not in its original, fresh-from-the-boutique state. Kim’s a pageview boon all over the Internet, so fashion sites were quick to pick up on the debut of her new Hermès Birkin, painted by none other than baby North. The problem, of course, was that the bag was clearly not a Birkin, but an Hermès Herbag. In the spirit of service (and of staying in our lane), we are here to provide some clarification.
