Last night while watching the 2017 Emmy Awards, a few things happened. First, one of the nicest and most talented friends I have one a second Emmy (he’s a TV writer), which is a nice thing, ya know? Second, I realized that, after not having cable for several years, I don’t recognize basically anyone on … Read more
New York Fashion Week is not a notably good event for spotting great designer bags on the runway (although outside the shows is a different situation), especially since Proenza Schouler and Altuzarra have decided to move their runway shows to Paris. Shoppers tend to like a good deal of history and heritage with their top-tier … Read more
After five seasons of Orange is the New Black and general fame and acclaim, Laverne Cox has amassed a neat little collection of Hermès bags. (I say “little,” but it easily rivals any Real Housewife’s.) And while her collection certainly boasts a standard Birkin or two, Laverne is also quite fond of the Kelly, and … Read more
New York Fashion Week has come to its inevitable end, and I am excited to get my life back a little. It’s part of my job to attend some NYFW events and to know the latest comings and goings from our favorite designers. Personally, I’ve always followed NYFW; even as a kid, I had to … Read more
A few times a year, celebrities clearly conspire to make us all feel bad about our occasional decisions to leave the house in sweats, or without make-up, or to write this post while not wearing any pants whatsoever. Pants are so easy to put on, Emily. Just step up your game. The same goes for … Read more
The big designer sales happen in May and December, usually, which makes September logically one of the worst times to be looking for discounted designer bags. In a broad sense, that’s true—sale selections are relatively meager. If you keep checking in, though, you can find some gems at great prices, often because bags have popped … Read more
Feeding America is the country’s largest hunger-relief organization, linking millions of pounds of rescued food with over 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs nationwide, enabling them to feed the people who need it most. And while contributing meaningfully to such a vast problem may seem difficult, Frye has teamed up with … Read more
At New York Fashion Week Spring 2018, which ended yesterday, the attendees’ bags were as good as I can ever remember them being. There’s a very distinct reason for that: street style and social media stars seem to have mostly abandoned the practice of carrying a designer’s bag to the brand’s show, at least for … Read more
A lot of people remember the original heyday of Kate Spade, but there’s probably a certain age range who has the most nostalgia for it. Back then, a little Kate bag in black nylon was a status symbol for suburban prepsters from middle school through early adulthood, and acquisition of one by a school friend … Read more
Designers commonly use New York in the 1980s as an aesthetic reference when building collections, and when that happens, things usually go one of two ways: over-the-top, neon-haired club kids or a pinstriped, oversize-suited take on the ultimate era of Wall Street. For Spring 2018, Coach found a more interesting way to channel the city’s … Read more
It’s not that Givenchy is doing anything new, it’s just that celebrities have somehow been reminded en masse that the bags they loved two, three or five-plus years ago are still fantastic bags. Even if they are literally covered in goat hair! Maybe it’s the changing seasons, and a shift back toward neutrals and away … Read more
Can someone please explain to me how I’m sitting here writing our WIMB feature for September? Summer, where did you go? You guys started off the summer strong, showing us all of your warm-weather adventures, which, of course, were accompanied by some seriously enviable carries! With so many bags and so little time, you guys … Read more
