You Can Now Wear Tiny, Diamond-Encrusted Hermès Bags Around Your Neck

May 19, 2015 by Amanda Mull

It’s rare that the diamond-encrusted version of something costs less than its original version, but Hermès is a rare company indeed. It’s worth noting, of course, that the diamond-encrusted versions of the brand’s popular Birkin, Kelly and Constance bags are meant to be worn around one’s neck and are therefore very small, but still: diamonds. … Read more

May 18, 2015 by Amanda Mull

Every brand has its clientele, and among celebrities, Givenchy tends to be super popular among super models.

May 28, 2015May 15, 2015 by Amanda Mull

Saint Laurent doesn’t do the splashy bag launches and re-launches every season that some brands do.
