Every season provides its own set of sartorial challenges, but only sometimes do those issues extend to bags; after all, they’re not expected to keep you warm or cool. One of the clear cases when bags make a difference, though, is summer: people are more likely to be outside, on their feet, having the type … Read more
Although there’s always someone on the internet who wants to argue, it’s pretty inarguable, in my mind, that Gucci is the hottest major brand in fashion right now, and that extends to its bags.

The waist-worn bags have their share of historically unstylish associations, but in the fashion climate of 2018, that only makes them all the more ripe for a comeback, just like tiny sunglasses. Even so, wearing one of these bags in public can be a bit daunting; not only are they … Read more
If Chanel were a man I was dating, we’d be having an argument tonight about how he’s giving me mixed signals.
