Phoebe Philo’s world at Céline will end not with a bang, but with a whimper—or, really, more of a whisper, as handbags go. Which makes perfect sense; while runway clothes might come and go seasonally, handbags usually last over an arc of at least several seasons, which means that when a designer knows that she … Read more
Sometimes I have to think on a new bag or collection for a while. That’s the case with this particular set of Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2018 bags, which arrived on the brand’s website about a week ago and which I have been visiting in a tab since then, contemplating exactly what’s going on with them. … Read more
While we’ve explored the fanny pack phenomenon quite a bit here on PurseBlog—and I myself have even gotten behind the trend—I haven’t quite pulled the trigger on actually purchasing a belt bag for my own personal collection. Obviously I’m obsessed with every single one of Gucci‘s fanny packs, at this point, they’re not exactly in … Read more
Like any fabulous eccentric, former Vogue creative director Grace Coddington has particular areas of intense interest, and one of them is cats.

For the past few years, whenever I look at a new Valentino collection, there’s been an elephant in the room for me: eventually, the brand is going to have to find a way to do something that feels distinct from its long-popular Rockstud bags. Although Valentino’s signature studs aren’t going anywhere—and there’s no reason for … Read more
If you’re suddenly seeing Oliva Munn‘s face everywhere (the Met Ball, late-night TV, Bravo, PurseBlog), it’s not just you. She has a new film coming out (Ocean’s 8) and her PR people are really turning it up to eleven. We’ve been admiring Olivia’s bags for years—in fact, we gave her her own edition of The … Read more
Megs and I keep thinking it’s Friday, but unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet. Our confusion might be because all of the weekend’s sales have already launched, though, and these are the big ones: seasonal discounts on bags that you’ll only see on sale twice a year, with the best selection you’ll find during this … Read more
Are you excited about Ocean’s 8? Are you confused as to why they couldn’t populate the film with 11 female stars, so it would at least be parallel with the original? Are you perplexed as to why it needs to be an Ocean’s reboot at all, when it could just be its own awesome all-female … Read more
