Celine's Clandestine bag in pale pink leather is the epitome of classic glamour, from the ladylike shape to the suble gold hardware, it is a must have for all aspiring Bag Snobs. At 13.5" wide, it is roomy enough to stash all of our valuables(mainly the 20 tubes of lipgloss we can't live without!). We love the the functional outer pocket with magnetic snap, it will save you from digging in your bag when your cell phone is buzzing away! $1395 at Net a Porter.
Alber Elbaz is the genius behind gorgeous Lanvin dresses coveted by Sarah Jessica and Nicole Kidman, now he's also enticing us with a line of must have bags and shoes. We can't think of anything more chic than gleaming patent leather this season and this fabulous Lanvin cusshion handbag in green is one of our favorites! Ballet slippers are also a latest obsession of the The Bag Snob and we want one of each from Lanvin's jewel toned collection! Bag available for $1200 at Neiman Marcus in Beverly HIlls. 310-550-5900

Planning a romantic getaway to Positano or Capri this summer? A very chic friend of the Bag Snob suggests you stay at Il SanPietro, where she got married and returns every summer.

Made of butter soft calfskin with woven top handle and gold hardware, it is the perfect bag for toting your favorite book or bottle of champagne. Medium size is $795 at Neiman Marcus. For our high maintenance snobs, Net a Porter has the grande size for $1150.
This week's Carnivale of Couture is hosted by Papier Doll. The topic is to produce a runway show for a designer of our choice with unlimited resources and budget.
Chloe is a total mess without Pheobe Philo at the helm so we decided to save the sinking fashion house. Since we have unlimited budget, we will hire Cirque du Soleil to create the ultimate fashion fantasy for our show. The fashion industry has become a total circus anyhow so why not bring the real circus to the runway. Instead of food deprived anorexic models, we will have contortionists walking down the runway on their hands and flying dancers to leap over the audience wearing our creations!
Madonna, who has become a freak herself and is able to contort into many shapes, will perform her latest CD wearing Chloe designed by The Bag Snob while dangling upside down in a suspended cage.
We will fill the front row with gorgeous rock stars, ghetto rappers, and real movie stars. No wanna be Hilton sisters and definitely no Lindsay nor Nicole. Our list will start with Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Jude Law (because he is beyond hot and we want to molest him backstage), Kate Moss, Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Reese, Pink (she'll fit in with the Circus acts), Eminem, 50 cent, Outkast, Common, our entire "it" list, and the cast of Crash. We will also invite Karl Lagerfeld because he looks like he'd enjoy the circus.
We'd pay the city of Paris an exorbitant amount of money to close down Champs Elysee for our location. A giant tent will start at the Arc de Triomphe and cover the entire block. Cristal Rose champagne will be served before, during, and after the show.
