I have to be real here: this is a weird mix of random celebs popping up in random places. (Friends cast members, rappers’ wives, baseball wives, Katy Perry) But if you’re down for the ride, the bag viewing is actually pretty rewarding. Also, celebs must be far more serious about their classic sneaks than I … Read more

Our fearless leader Chrissy Teigen owns an immaculate assortment of designer handbags (which you can peruse at your leisure in The Many Bags of Chrissy Teigen). But, of course, that’s not the headline here. Today, we must bring your attention to her unrivaled collection of The Row bags. No other celeb (Olsens excluded, obviously) lays … Read more
I’ll make this quick, because there are more important things at hand (namely, shopping): as you all are well aware, we’re in the thick of sale season, and now that two weeks have gone by, some retailers are starting to add bags to their sale sections or take second discounts on the stuff that hasn’t … Read more
Party bags are a tricky subject, no matter the time of year or occasion. Although bag lovers are generally not super price-sensitive (by definition, you can’t really be in the market for a $2,000 accessory and be accurately described as “price-sensitive”), everyone likes to feel like they’re getting a good value, and special occasion bags … Read more
Here in New York, we’re just beginning to cruise into the worst phase of the season’s cold weather, and that’s the nicest time of year to see some color. Around now, the city turns into a sea of black wool or nylon coats, and remains that way until at least March, so the Mexico City-inspired … Read more
For bag lovers, Chanel‘s annual Metiers d’Art show is always both dazzling and frustrating. The collections are always internationally themed (well, except for this year’s) and intended to demonstrate the incredible skill of Chanel’s artisans and craftspeople, so the pieces contained therein are often some of the most beautiful you’ll see all year.

We’ve seen a lot of minis, micros, nanos and so forth in recent weeks, as well as an ample helping of oversized designer totes. This week, we have all of that, plus a man bag that possibly qualifies as an XXL size designer offering. It’s also worth mentioning (for interested parties) that celebrity boyfriends and … Read more
If you have old ideas about Tory Burch as a line full of logo medallions and sensible preppiness, it’s probably long past time to be a little more open-minded about what Burch and her team are doing at the ever-expanding, ever-evolving contemporary brand they’ve built into an empire. The logos and well-scrubbed conventionality still exist … Read more
You’d think bag lovers would be easy to shop for, but that’s often not the case. An interest in designer accessories often brings one to the point of obsession with rarities, discontinued styles or colors, limited editions and exotics, and finding just the right piece to satisfy that kind of wish list can be tricky … Read more
Although Vogue has a questionable history when it comes to predicting It Bags (the publication tends to be far too generous with the label and far too willing to give it to weird, editorial-centric designs that no one would ever expect to catch on with consumers in a major way), it’s always worth taking a … Read more
