Louboutin gold rush

Bring in the New Year with some sparkle and shine! We can’t wait to party on New Years Eve with this to die for metallic gold evening bag and matching stilettos from Christian Louboutin. A favorite of J.Lo and Madonna, who know a thing or two about dancing the night away and looking fabulous. At [...]

Balenciaga Sellier

After milking the success of the Le Dix Motorcycle bag for 7 years, Nicolas Ghesquiere is finally back to the drawing board to plan his next bag attack. The latest from his spring collection, the Sellier bag in blue suede with subtle silver details, gets the nod from the Bag Snob. Please, give the Le [...]

Christian Louboutin Rocks

Christian Louboutin, the man with the red soles and the master at making sexy stilettos feel like cushiony slippers, is now rockin’ us with his line of fashionista worthy evening bags. This little red velvet clutch with diamante clasp screams sophistication and elegace so it won’t matter if you’re wearing last year’s velvet smoking jacket [...]

Ostrich Feather Detective

Going to an outlandishly chic New Year’s party? Well, don’t show up without this outlandishly fabulous Dior Detective clutch in satin, ostrich feathers and mink. It’s chic and looks like a cute dog so you Paris wannabes can leave your real critters at home. For the Bag Snob loyalists, we diss, as in dis-like, the [...]

Karl Lagerfeld Has Lost His Mind

Lindsay Lohan will pose for Chanel. OK. I am speechless!!! WTF?? First Selma Blair and now Lindsay Lohan? Karl needs to get a new prescription for those glasses he’s wearing. Or maybe its just plain glass in there and he needs to go see an optometrist. I thought Chanel stood for something else. Like style, [...]

The First Amendment Is SOOO Last Season

We received this letter today from the lawyers representing the retail website (we are not allowed to mention their name) reported in our story “A Real Story About a Fake Paddington” and were asked to take it down. It is, in our opinion, a disservice to the shopping community but unless there are lawyers out [...]

A Real Story About a Fake Paddington

We were forced to take this story down but now that Sophisticated Spirit is no longer in business, I’m putting it back up. Maybe we were a factor and thus helped in saving unsuspecting shoppers from the heartbreak of buying a fake. In any case, it’s a good story. We’ve all been there: dying for [...]

The LV Barf Bucket

I was at the Chanel boutique in Soho the other day and the salespeople there were waxing on about Marc Jacobs, he could do no wrong, everything he touches turns to pure gold, etc., you know, as if he were the return of Christ himself. Well, we agree to a certain extent because we do [...]

Luxury By Chanel

The Kaiser has an eye for the obvious. This is what he’s calling Chanel’s spring line of fabulous metallic bags, “Luxury by Chanel”. No shit, really? Anytime you pay thousands of dollars for a bag you better hope it is luxurious. We do love these adorable shiny bags though, no matter how stupid the name [...]

Expand the Sienna, not your waistline

How brilliant of Marc Jacobs (and his twenty assistants) to address the expanding needs of the modern woman! His latest, the Sienna Hobo, is the ultimate bag. Sleek and chic when zipped, it also unzips into a roomy and slouchy carryall when needed! In rich burgundy leather lined in brown suede with gold hardware, the [...]
