I have been doing my best to ignore the Jacquemus La Chiquita Bag. On a certain level, that’s not great, because at least until the end of this week, it’s my job to exhaustively cover the accessories industry, and this bag keeps popping up in famous hands—Priyanka Chopra, Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Selena … Read more
If Fendi has made one thing clear over the last few seasons, it’s that the brand is not afraid to use its distinct logo. The logo trend has filtered up to high fashion from trendy, frenetic streetwear brands, so it’s not surprising that Fendi has decided to reinvent its logo for Fall Winter 2019. The … Read more
It must be somewhat comforting to be a Chanel shopper. Season to season, the house might try a new launch that doesn’t quite work or trot out a half-baked theme for a collection, but at its heart, Chanel is always Chanel, and always assertively so—Karl Lagerfeld has built an aesthetic universe for himself and his … Read more
Are there any celebrity cookbooks that you swear by? Is your guilty pleasure of choice a good celebrity memoir?

Dear Millie, Writing you these letters is one of my favorite things to do, and yet somehow the past few letters have needed to have months combined. I have spent so much time relishing every moment with you when it’s just the three of us (and Brutus!) before your little brother joins us. Your bond … Read more
When I first became interested in bags in the 2000s, $1,200 to $1,500 spent at most brands could buy you the line’s marquee piece in regular leather. The Chloé Paddington fell into that range, for example, and it was the most sought-after bag in the world at the time. Now, with totally normal bags edging … Read more
I distinctly remember getting my own suitcase for the first time. Macy’s was having a big luggage sale and my mom decided that with all the traveling we did as a family it was time my sister and I carried our own suitcases. I think I was around 7—meaning my sister was 12—and I remember … Read more
Although of course I love seeing brand new designs each season, I generally feel just as curious about how the world’s biggest accessories brands will find new ways to tweak and update their biggest moneymakers in order to keep shoppers intrigued and engaged. Newness is important, but longevity is what pays the bills, and keeping … Read more
Most bag brands target the 20-something It Girls of the moment when they’re trying to seed product with celebrities in order to stoke public curiosity—the Gigis and Kendalls, but also the Emma Robertses and Lucy Hales—in hopes of getting their bags on celebs’ Instagram profiles, or even just in front of paparazzi cameras while they’re … Read more
To me, one of the ultimate luxuries in the designer handbag world is travel pieces. This category isn’t discussed as much among bag lovers, but if you love designer bags, it is the next step up when it comes to your collection. I’ve dreamed of owning a few designer luggage pieces—namely a trolley—and now I … Read more
The Fashion Weeks are over, and celebs have returned to doing their usual thing. But if you missed the bags that graced Fendi’s Spring 2019 runway, now’s a great time to take an in-depth look. I suspect we’ll be seeing many of those bags on celeb arms in the very near future. Fendi bags made … Read more
Happy Friday morning! We took a couple weeks off from Bag Deals for fashion month (and because this isn’t a particularly great time to be looking for designer discounts and we didn’t want to be repetitive in our picks), but now we’re back at it with a fresh crop of discounted designer bags, just for … Read more
