After last week’s vacation, we’re back with another round of unmissable bag deals on this lovely Friday morning. Sale season is dead and buried, but we know where to look (it’s literally our job), so we were still able to come up with a dozen top-tier designer bags at under-retail prices, and some of them … Read more
In its new Winter 2017 lookbook, Céline doesn’t beat around the bush on the primary feature of one of its newest bag: the Big Bag is, well, big. And in naming it so, the brand seems to have acknowledged what we predicted a year and a half ago: the trend pendulum has swung from micro-mini … Read more
The end of summer is a nice time to slow down for a second and take stock of things, and that includes the luxury handbag market. With no current reigning It Bag, a lot of different contenders are vying for maximum consumer attention, and they’re all doing so for very different reasons. Below, we’ve chosen … Read more
Oh fall, do you know how much I love you? From chunky knits and turtleneck sweaters to leather jackets and thigh-high boots, fall you can really do it all. Like many other fashion lovers on the planet, fall is truly my favorite season to shop for. It always has been and it always will be. … Read more
If you love handbags and fashion as much as we do, then you’ve probably heard a saying that goes something like this: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy.” It’s funny, but true, and I have a few of these ghosts. The first are two gorgeous dresses I fell deeply in love with … Read more
As people have realized that Hermès Birkins are a potentially more fruitful investment that the stock market or gold, an entire economy has sprung up around them and the few other designer bags that can demand decent resale prices.

Imagine, if you will, a universe in which you and all your friends are immensely successful A-list Hollywood types who can afford most of your run-of-the-mill indulgences whenever you like. Then imagine one of your friends is like, “No, not good enough. We need our own special Day of Indulgence.” It’s hard to comprehend, and … Read more
As you guys may know, last week the PB gang took some time away from our little corner of the internet to get some r + r during our annual summer break. When I looked at the calendar, I couldn’t believe that by the time our break was up, we would be sailing through the … Read more
Céline holds information about its bags as close to the vest as any other major brand on the planet, so we’re always happy when a new lookbook appears online, and that’s what happened yesterday with the Céline Winter 2017 collection. (Technically, this is the brand’s fall runway collection, but it uses whatever terms it wants … Read more
Traditionally, when a bag falls at a price tier below that of premier designer options, you can sort of…tell. Not only do the leather and hardware not look as luxurious, but for a long time, bags at those price points were made with young, casual customers in mind, which meant they were more likely to … Read more
I’ve been a Fendi evangelist for years. The brand does an impressive job in a lot of areas: it comes out with new bags that don’t feel like they’re piggybacking on other brands’ popular designs, it’s one of few brands that has real success updating older styles for new seasons to regain momentum, it successfully … Read more
