As much as I love a trend, they are, by their very nature, an easy thing to get sick of. And like I mentioned earlier this morning, I’m feeling a little fatigued, and also a little practical. In a practical sense, the bags I end up using the most are shoulder bags, and they’re fairly … Read more
I’m feeling a little bit like Goldilocks this morning. Regardless of what my opinions may have been about other bags at other points in time, at the moment, everything seems wildly over-designed or under-designed—too maximalist or too minimalist, entirely unacceptable for me, renowned aesthete Amanda Mull, who spends most of her day typing at her … Read more
For Spring 2018, Chanel put approximately one million transparent PVC bags on the runway, which is either the harbinger of or inspiration behind the sudden glut of see-through bags hitting retailers, depending on your opinion. Either way, the trend is clearly (sorry) gaining ground, with indie designers and big bag brands alike sending bags that … Read more
Lately, I’ve found myself missing Louis Vuitton‘s Monogram Multicolore bags a little bit, even going so far as searching resale sites for wallets and card holders from the discontinued line. The colorful, unsubtle rainbow logos designed by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami feel like they’d find a welcome home in the irony-laced embrace of the current … Read more
I feel like I’ve completely lost the thread with some celebrities in the past year. Did you know Taylor Swift was touring? Bella Thorne seems to have undergone a complete style 180 sometime in the recent past, which I completely missed. And what will become of Dakota Johnson now that the 50 Shades series is … Read more
I’ll forgive you for have never before contemplated what my job entails, but a fair bit of it is me doing spot checks on a long list of retailers and brand websites around the internet, noting new arrivals, pre-orders, lookbook debuts and any otherwise unannounced developments that might be of interest to to the handbag-loving … Read more
For a while now, I’ve had a little note in one of my workplace housekeeping spreadsheets that says, “What’s the deal with Alex Wang?” It’s a question that I think about a lot and that I’ve written about in various ways over the past few years, but maybe above all else, it’s one I’m surprised … Read more
As you may have noticed, we’ve officially crossed over into the second half of July, which means retailers are getting eager to tempt us with visions of cooler temperatures via their newest fall arrivals. This season, Neiman Marcus was the first retailer we spotted out of the gate with a section devoted strictly to browsing … Read more
Hilary Duff has very strong bag preferences. She is one of our favorite celeb bag lovers (and one of the most visible throughout the year), so when she falls in love with a bag, we notice. Since decamping from NYC earlier this year (where her hit show Younger is filmed), she’s returned to LA, announced … Read more
Over the years, more and more reseller sites have popped up catering to the designer bag market, but none are as much of a household name as eBay. eBay has been the place to go for the majority of pre-owned bag shoppers and sellers alike over the years, so much so that we have an … Read more
A few months back, we introduced you to the Gucci RE(BELLE) Tote, which immediately became a favorite bag of mine due to its seemingly never-ending interior capacity and the beautifully soft and supple leather. Though the RE(BELLE) was offered in a medium size tote as well as the large one we took a look at, … Read more
Our usual crop of bag lovers seems a bit more adverse to having their photos taken this week than usual. Fortunately, we have ample pics of Meghan Markle, who is all grace and diplomacy. Chanel Flaps of every ilk are an obvious favorite this week, and Gigi Hadid’s is truly stunning. Lady Gaga is suddenly … Read more
