Golden Season
(Left- Prada gold paillette. Right-VBH Vagabond in oxidized gold ostrich) This season’s gorgeous golden hues are absolutely fabulous and Prada’s dainty gold pailette bag and VBH’s gold ostrich are two of the best. For those of you aspiring bag snobs who have not heard of VBH, it’s time to get a subscription to WWD. An [...]
Pierre Hardy
PIERRE HARDY, remember this name because soon you will be coveting everything this man creates. Hermes’ low profile shoe designer (he is also responsible for the edgy Balenciaga shoe collection) has become so hot in Hollywood he is receiving requests from Nicole Kidman for custom made shoes and handbags for the Oscars and SAG awards. [...]
It’s a Mod Mod World
(Clockwise from top left- Black and white patent frame bag by Marni. Patent Mirror bag by Allesandro Dell’Aqua. Black patent top handle bag by Calvin Klein. Vinyl Bag by Chanel.) Dust off your go go boots cuz the ’60′s are back in full swing! We have not seen so much patent leather since Goldie Hawn [...]
Summer Lovin’
Is it summer yet? I can’t wait until June so let’s just pretend it’s summer already by going out and getting this super fabulous Miu Miu Summer frame bag. This is the larger version of the must have for Spring which is what we need because why would we necessarily have less things to carry [...]
Small Blue Edith
We are so excited over the small version of the ever so popular Chloe Edith bag! I am sick of grotesquely large bags that make me look like a bag lady, not a bag snob. The shrunken Edith is small in size but big on style and the season’s must have blue leather is to [...]
Monogram Muse
A limited offer from Neiman Marcus, personalize the YSL Muse bag with your own hand embossed monogram! This is much more chic than carrying a bag with some dead French guy’s initials all over it. Although the monstrously huge Muse is better as a weekend carryall or travel tote, the golden hardware and beautiful handstitched [...]
Days of Grace
Thank you Fashionable Kiffen for this week’s Carnivale of Couture topic. What trend do we want resurrected We want the glamour and femininity of women from the 50′s back. Yeah, well, we can do without the bowing down and kissing our husbands asses part, we just want the attitude of style and dress. These days, [...]
Travel Madness Resolved!
Dear Bag Snob, I echo all of the platitudes that have been deservedly heaped on you. My quest in life, is for the perfect travel bag. I travel around the world and I am notorious for thinking I have lost passports, tickets, and have melt downs in airports all of the time. I also travel [...]
The First Bag
Dear Bag Snob, First of all, I love your website…it is perfection, and your taste is impeccable. I, too, am a fashion snob, but one with limited means. (sob) I have decided to make a new purchase and have been saving my money to buy one handbag. My price range is between $500 and $800, [...]
Mink Spy……Last One, We Swear
OK, we said we would stop featuring Spy bags but we HAD to do this one. White mink with python trim. It is interesting that California residents are not able to buy this, and it’s not because of the mink: “It is unlawful to ship or sell python skin in California. Products containing python skin [...]
