Anything hard to get but widely desired develops a lore pretty quickly. Often, these stories start out truthful and are re-told and passed around so many times that they take on lives of their own, but because they’re passed between fashion lovers so freely, they start to feel like conventional wisdom that’s then picked up … Read more
For many Goyard shoppers, the bags themselves are only part of the brand’s tremendous draw—they’re a canvas to create something unique. Because Goyard offers such detailed and wide-ranging personalization services, clients can have many designs and motifs hand-painted onto their new bag or trunk that they can imagine. The brand offers a starting point with … Read more
I have a special place in my heart for anything Chloé. As a tween, I had fashion ads plastered to my bedroom walls, and Chloé campaigns were my favorite to tear out of the magazines I begged my mother to purchase for me every time we went to the drugstore. She finally gave me a … Read more
I don’t think I’ve ever before had the urge to refer to a collection of Chanel bags as “sedate,” but that’s exactly what I found myself thinking when paging through the just-released first look at Chanel’s Pre-Collection Fall 2017 handbags. The bags, which serve as a prelude to the full Fall 2017 collection that debuted … Read more
Every single time we feature a Kardashian or a Jenner, someone pleads for us to stop. Some of y’all cannot stand their excess, nonsense and shameless publicity-courting, and you’ve been practically begging us and most other sites on the internet to avert our eyes and not pay their amazing handbags any heed for years. But … Read more
Happy, happy Friday, fashion lovers! It’s time to see what has been happening this week over at the PurseForum, and we are happy you have joined us. We rounded up a few reveals and also paid visits to Louis Vuitton, Hermès, The Wardrobe and more. The bag-in-car thread is a popular one, and we understand why (sort … Read more
Ah, the classic contrast of a giant Chanel bag and a pair of cut-off shorts that you could’ve DIY-ed yourself. It’s the height of the summer, so celebs are sweaty, and most are minimally dressed. More concerning: some of their garments are literally safety-pinned together, but probably more for reasons of titillation than frugality. One … Read more
The end is near. The end of sale season, anyway, and that means the discounts are climbing ever-higher, and although the selection has shrunk accordingly, there are still some great bags to be had at those super-low prices. (After all, lots of people scoop up great things early in sale season and return them, which … Read more
I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time tracking the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on both Nordstrom’s website as well as on the extensive (and highly addictive) thread on the PurseForum. If you want to see some serious hauls, check out the PurseForum crew who have put together some of the most comprehensive lists of what … Read more
We’ll make this quick: Net-a-Porter’s sale lasts through August 1, and if you shop between now and then, you can take an extra 20% off any item marked a “sale must-have!” Those products constitute a huge proportion of the site’s markdowns right now, and with discounts up to 70% off, you can surely walk away … Read more
When I think of Ferragamo, I think of a classic, traditionally Italian approach to leather goods. In the world of designer handbags, when many brands are trying to grab attention and make the next It Bag by any means necessary, Ferragamo stays true to its core, focusing on expert craftsmanship and quality products instead of … Read more
In Nicolas Ghesquiere’s tenure at the helm of Louis Vuitton, the brand has done a lot of work to reimagine how it approaches its leather handbag business, but what I’m really interested in is what happens to the monogram bags. Coated canvas has always been Vuitton’s bread and butter, even if the brand would like … Read more
