A lot has been happening on the aesthetic front at Dior in the past several seasons. Celebrated designer Raf Simons left unexpectedly and took his sleek, feminine futurism with him, after which the brand appointed Maria Grazia Chiuri, half of the duo responsible for Valentino‘s gangbusters success over the last decade. It was immediately clear … Read more
Celebs are in go mode this week and hardly have the time to pause for a snapshot or even hold their own handbags (at times). But, fortunately for us, the bags are all in full focus. There are new bags to ogle from Coach, The Row, Dior and Fendi, as well as plenty of celeb … Read more
Last week, we brought you the news that Chanel raised prices on its Classic Flap bags, ranging from 6.5% to 8.2%. Most people knew that meant additional price increases would follow, so they asked their local sale associates in hopes of getting additional information or purchased bags on their wishlist before the price went up … Read more
Back in August, we asked your thoughts on Fendi‘s new logo. When it comes to my thoughts, I’ve got major logo love. I’ve always loved the way Fendi offers classic bags and shapes with a twist, and the new ‘F’ logo hardware is the perfect example of Fendi reinventing the wheel. The Fendi Kan I … Read more
When Valentino debuted the Rockstud Spikes bags several seasons ago, I wasn’t so sure they were going to work. I also doubted the original Rockstuds when they debuted in 2011, which is maybe the wrongest I’ve been about anything. Three seasons on, I’ve come around to the Rockstud Spikes in a big way, and it … Read more
She’s married to Carmelo Anthony (for now—the couple has been mum lately about the status of their split), but did you also know that La La Anthony is also totally married to her Givenchy Antigona bags? The Antigona has been La La’s go-to style since time immemorial (or at least the last five years), and … Read more
As I’m writing this, it’s a little past noon on Friday. Today was both PurseBlog payday and direct deposit day for some freelance work I did in December, and I spent much of the last several weeks visiting my parents, so I haven’t spent all that much money recently. I’ve got a three day weekend … Read more
We’re leading this roundup with a a double dose of mystery bags! We’re not even gonna make you scroll for it. These mystery bags are just too good (and too strangely similar to each other) to just bury somewhere way down by Hailey Baldwin. While we hate not being on the bleeding edge of designer … Read more
Sale season has nearly drawn to its official close, but on Friday mornings at PurseBlog, it’s sale season all year. Not only do we have a selection of deep discounts to share with you today on specific bags, but we have one overall deal in particular you should know about: at farfetch.com, you can take … Read more
How flexible a brand’s aesthetic is depends on the brand and its history. Louis Vuitton, for example, has some fixed signatures—like its monogram and coated canvases—but has taken cues from an enormous range of different artists, icons and aesthetic genres. Chloé, on the other hand, is at the other end of the spectrum: through endless … Read more
When Hermès re-released the Fortunio clutch several months ago, we discussed an essential element of the brand’s appeal that often goes overlooked when people talk about that particular brand of Hermès magic: hardware. Now, a new bag is here to prove our point: the Hermès Cinhetic Clutch is now available online for the first time, … Read more
I’m not great at keeping any sort of New Year’s resolutions, so I didn’t set any personal ones. But it’s easier for me to set them when it comes to bags (obviously I’m a true bag girl at heart), and one of my professional resolutions for 2018 is to bring you more Purseonals and overall … Read more
