When I started PurseBlog, the very first designer I ever met was Rebecca Minkoff. I still remember how nervous I was to meet her, but we ended up hitting it off right away. Over the years her brand has grown into an international household name and we still have the loyal Minkettes on tPF and … Read more
Happy end of June, friends! We hope you are enjoying summer so far. This week on the PurseForum, we visited Mulberry, Bottega Veneta, Hermès and more. And what we have here is just the tip of the iceberg, so come on in. In Gucci, it’s all about the Marmont. We spotted this dazzling blue version of this new … Read more
We couldn’t let June come and go without hitting up an NYC hotspot for a PB lunch with some cute little Coach bags in tow. When I saw these beautiful blue-and-white floral little ladies, I knew just the perfect place for our monthly handbag lunch: NYC’s Cafe Clover. I hit up Cafe Clover with my … Read more
The past few days have been a little wacky and all over the place re: celebrity handbag picks, but here are the highlights: a gargantuan, seldom-seen Hermès style is having a moment, I’m in love with a Valentino bag (but mostly with the strap), and I don’t think I’ve seen as many exotic leather bags … Read more

We’re nearing the end of sale season, which means selections are dwindling but discounts are extra deep—if you’re … Read more
Dear Millie, Just like that, you are closer to a year old than to being a newborn. I constantly struggle with wanting you to grow and learn and wanting to freeze this exact moment in time. I spend more time than I ever thought I would just studying you. You love studying me as well, … Read more
The answer to the question of why anyone wants a particular luxury good is always abstract. Fashion and luxury are meant to poke the soft spots in our brains, the ones that are seduced by physical beauty and tactile pleasures rather than reason and order. But sometimes, a handbag goes far beyond even that element … Read more
When it comes to bag-spotting, longtime superstars present a bit of a logistical challenge. Not only are they extremely well-versed in paparazzi avoidance (and they don’t need photos of their morning coffee runs constantly circulating to keep them in the news), but they’re also used to being “handled” by a team of people whose job … Read more
I have a serious problem with color. Ok, maybe it’s not quite a problem with color per se, but more of an aversion to color. Maybe it’s the New Yorker in me, or just that you can’t go wrong with it, but to me, black is where it’s at. The past couple of years, I … Read more
Large-scale luxury shopping is a contradiction in terms. Rarity is inherent to luxury as a concept because it exists at one end of a continuum, along with austerity and normalcy. If something becomes common, it automatically starts to slide back down the continuum, which is a problem for retailers and brands because no one will … Read more
Do you have enough croc bags and leather overalls in your fashion arsenal? Well, it might be time to rethink your game. (Or, alternatively, withdraw from the game, depending on how alluring you find either.) Celebs did not slouch on the handbag front this week, and they got surprisingly dressed up for the airport, the … Read more
A couple of weeks back, Megs reported that Hermès was bringing its Hermèsmatic pop-up shop right here to NYC. The pop-up allows customers to bring in a vintage scarf and have it dip dyed via very Hermès-tastic orange washing machines. The entire vibe of the pop-up is like a retro, Hermès-themed laundromat—pretty darn cool, if … Read more
