By now, we’re all well-acquainted with Jeremy Scott’s Moschino. Clothes and their construction are often inspiration for his collections, with things like overalls and moto jackets transmogrified into handbags. For Resort 2016, Scott has set his sights on shopping itself for aesthetic cues, and the results are in line with what we’ve come to expect from the revamped brand: cheeky, literal and not particularly expensive-looking.

Bag for Your Buck: 17 Bags That Look More Expensive Than They Are
We’ve been writing a lot about sales recently (they only come around twice a year, after all), but buying something that’s been marked down isn’t the only way to get a good value. If you shop carefully and know what to look for, you can find lots of bags at full price that look like they cost far more than they do. As we do from time to time, we took to the Internet to find over a dozen of the best bets out there right now, and along with them, we’ve included some tips on getting the most bag for your buck.
All the Best Celebrity Handbags of the Week, From A-F
The choicest celebrity bag picks run the gamut from Alaïa to Fendi this week. It’s sheerly coincidence, I’m sure, but I find it amusing nonetheless. Also, we don’t actually have a representative for the letter “B” (where is all the Balenciaga this week? Balmain? Bulgari even?), so my apologies to alphabet completists. Disclaimer: there is also a single entry from Rauwolf, representing for the other two thirds of the alphabet.

Weekend Obsession: Fendi Petit 2Jours Monster Bag
I consider anytime after 4 pm to be the weekend when it comes to Friday, especially during the summer. Summer means long days, warm sunshine, beaches, and ice cream. It also means great bags, though let’s be honest, every day and season calls for a great bag.

The Prada Bags Celebs Are Loving
I have a big spot for Prada bags in my heart. One of my first premiere designer bags was a Prada Nylon Messenger Bag that I carried for college, and while I know that sounds ridiculous, it was nothing short of amazing. Since then, I’ve found myself loving so many other bags from the brand, … Read more
Coach x Peanuts is Back for Another Round of Chic Cartoon Bags
At first blush, a luxury accessories brand and a beloved children’s comic make strange bedfellows, but that’s part of the reason the first Coach x Peanuts collaboration sold out so quickly; the unexpected combination was light and fun.
