Last month, WWD declared the end of the ‘It’ bag era, a time in which iconic styles like the Saddle Bag, the Paddington, and the Baguette reigned supreme. From the nineties and beyond, these bags dominated the fashion world – from magazines and runways to the arms and shoulders of some of the world’s richest … Read more

Though those isanely rich—money-is-no-object—kind of people definitely make up a portion of those that buy luxury goods, they aren’t the majority. Large brands and luxury houses are well … Read more
With the arrival of spring comes the beginning of wedding season, something I look forward to every year. It’s so special to be able to take part in the celebration of love between close friends and family, and there is nothing I love more than being a guest on a couple’s big day. From the … Read more
Jenna Dewan is one of the quieter celebrity arbiters of taste. She frequently has the latest bags (especially if it’s a Chloé bag) but she’s fairly nonchalant about all of it. Jenna has a distinct preference for smaller, more compact crossbody styles. When she’s not carrying a Chloé mini, she might opt for Gucci, or … Read more

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a thing for bags. It started in middle school, where a “statement” bag was the only way I could accessorize my uniform. So there I was, a 12-year-old with a financial plan, meticulously saving my $10 per week allowance to have just enough for a fabric … Read more
