Under designer Stuart Vevers, Coach has taken a particular interest in history, both of its own and of the country it was founded in. That has largely meant a heavy aesthetic influence from the American West, but for Spring 2018, Vevers has decided to incorporate a singularly New York icon: the artwork of AIDS activist … Read more
When we spotted actress Emma Stone at Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fashion Week show earlier this month, I was curious about why she was there—she’s not a regular fashion week attendee, despite being notoriously well-dressed on red carpets, and I couldn’t remember seeing her wear the brand in the past, except for a vintage Keepall at … Read more
With some celebrities, personal style feels forced or, at the very least, largely the creation of a stylist. With actress Naomi Watts, that’s never been the case—her red carpet style has just enough idiosyncrasy to suggest a significant personal opinion on aesthetics, but she’s not the kind of person who looks like a stylist picked … Read more
Most star-studded parties are kind of boring when it comes to handbags; you maybe get a clutch or two, but mostly people pass their bags off to their handlers and we see precious little of what anyone is carrying. The most notable exception to that general rule is when the party in question is thrown … Read more
We took a couple weeks off from our normal Friday morning roundup of the internet’s best bag deals because there was so much news coming out of the various global fashion weeks that we wanted to cover ASAP, and also, let’s be real, because February and early March are not big times for online designer … Read more
It snowed yesterday in NYC, and a week ago it did the same. I wish I could say I thought this was the last of it, but the weather woman this morning told me otherwise, as there’s another possible impending storm in the forecast for early next week. Even still, the days are getting less … Read more
While I’ve definitely streamlined what it is that I carry day to day and often can get away with a smaller bag, there are some times when a canvas tote is just the necessary-evil accessory to carrying a mini bag. I know I’m not the only one who gets more than their fair share of … Read more
When designer backpacks once again swung back into fashion a few years ago, you guys were mostly skeptical. Which is a healthy response any trend, really, because sometimes it’s hard to tell which ones crop up to satisfy a genuine consumer desire and which ones are manufactured by large companies looking to sell you yet … Read more
Much of Hollywood takes a little break for the Oscars and the zillions of private parties surrounding them, but now that the red carpet season is in the rearview mirror, celebs are out and about once again, working on film set, doing press appearances and going to lunch with friends. That means our bagspotting is … Read more
Now that fashion month is over, we can get back to what’s important: bags and accessories that are actually available and that we can actually buy. Today, we have 70 such wallets, WOCs, tablet cases, coin purses and more from Chanel Spring 2018, which just landed in boutiques in early March. We already took a … Read more
By now, you’re likely familiar with the Hermès Evelyne Bag, even if you can’t see yourself entering the Hermès tax bracket. It may not be as widely famous as the Birkin or Kelly, but the Evelyne is a classic of a different kind: it’s less formal than the brand’s more famous bags, which makes it … Read more
Before I had Millie and even before I was pregnant with her, I had a list of things I knew I would buy for my future kid. I have been obsessed with Freshly Picked shoes for years, purchasing them as gifts for my friends with kids (seriously—such a good gift, you can not go wrong), … Read more
