Readers, we have failed you. Beyoncé stepped out with a handbag last week, and we had absolutely no idea what it was. Knowing Bey, it could be anything.

Chanel Makes the Most Luxurious Beach Bag and Towel Set Ever

Jun 24, 2016 by Amanda Mull

The very wealthy are both just like us mortals and not like us at all. They’re like us in that they want to have cute stuff to take to the pool with their friends or on their next beach vacation, but they are not like us in that their next terrycloth beach set might be … Read more

As we talked about last week, summer brings with it its own set of challenges for almost every aspect of your beauty routine.

The 20 Best Bag Deals for the Weekend of June 24

Jun 24, 2016 by Amanda Mull

I love this point in sale season. Second markdowns have been taken, people who are satisfied with 25% or 30% off have snatched up their bags, and now the real bargain-hunting can begin.

For Spring 2017, Louis Vuitton Took Its Men’s Bags on a Fantastical Storybook Safari

Jun 23, 2016 by Amanda Mull

For most large brands, men’s bags are something of and afterthought. If a satchel or tote design works well in the women’s line, it gets simplified, enlarged and made more neutral in order to appeal to dudes, and that’s about as far as most brands go when it comes to innovative design for their male … Read more

The Many Bags of Jada Pinkett Smith

Jun 23, 2016Jun 23, 2016 by Amanda Mull

It was around the time I saw Magic Mike XXL last year that I began to think we, as a society, might not be giving Jada Pinkett Smith her due. She drove home that point to me with a bravura trip through Paris Fashion Week a few months ago, and since then, I’ve taken note … Read more

Mini bags have been in the handbag spotlight for almost two years now, and we’re predicting that the handbag spectrum may be starting to sway toward the comeback of colossal bags soon. Just as I was ready to forgo the mini bag trend forever (I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought they were … Read more

The 24 Best Bags of the Resort 2017 Runway Shows and Lookbooks

Jun 22, 2016 by Amanda Mull

Resort and pre-fall shows are always harder to pin down than the spring and fall shows that take place during the global fashion week circuses, but as the in-between collections become ever more important to designers’ bottom lines, the hype around them (and the availability of photos of the collections) has increased exponentially.

Are you feeling upbeat and whimsical for reasons you can’t explain? It’s probably because, unbeknownst to you (or maybe very beknownst), Blake Lively has begun another movie promo tour.

Introducing Lipault Paris and its Newly Launched US Site

Jun 21, 2016 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

Sometimes a great brand can be hidden in an international market that’s out of our reach, and that is just the case with Lipault Paris.

If you ever traveled to France, you may have noticed the brand, but being on the other side of the pond, I only became aware of the brand recently.
