Invasion of the Giant bags
(Clockwise from top left- Magenta tote from Camille Staerk, Celine oversize Croc bag, Chloe oversize tote, Chanel patent leather tote) We don’t care what Vogue, W, or Style.com say, bigger is not better this season, even if you are from Texas. There is never, EVER, a need to carry a bag that can fit you [...]
Stop The Insanity!!
We keep getting comments and emails asking where to buy fakes, which outlets sells the most “realistic” fakes, which ebay sellers sell real vs. fake, etc. and we have not responded simply because none of this is legitimate. We feel like we need to respond now because it is getting out of control. We do [...]
It’s a Trailer Trash Wedding
Imagine going to a wedding and the bride walks down the aisle wearing this! And instead of a lovely bouquet, she is carrying a beer in a coozer, is completely drunk and has a Courtney Love hairdo. Then after her vows she promises lap dances to all the guests. I know Heather Graham is wearing [...]
Cannes Red Carpet Ride
I really did try to find the fabulously dressed but the usuals like Halle Barry were wearing such boring black not-worth-mentioning dresses. But isn’t it so much more fun pointing out the dreadfully styled? Avril Lavigne in vintage Armani at the screening of Over the Hedge. Can you say, “Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, bettlejuice!”?
Not Your Average Wallets
Now that you have the greatest bag in existence, is it important what goes in the bag? Well, of course! You can’t exactly carry a Chanel 2.55 and pull out your nylon Velcro wallet from high school!!! (That would never happen, of course, because you never owned one, right?) We have received a lot of [...]
Lanvin London
We are totally in love with Lanvin lately. Alber Elbaz has created another gem with this London bag. The simple and tasteful structure is given a twist with cushiony leather and plexi chains, making it edgy yet maintaining its classic appeal. It is Steve McQueen cool and will be a well used bag in your [...]
Chinese Blossom Wristlet
Have you ever seen anything as cute as this? This wristlet with a satin handle is embellished with sequins and crystal teardrops. You will be the talk of the party with this bauble bag. This luxurious evening bag is from Filipino designer Bea Valdes who isn’t shy about using sequins, crystals, semiprecious stones, chandelier drops [...]
VBH glitter clutch
This simple and elegant silver clutch from VBH really appeals to our newfound minimialist sensibilities. We are sick of crazy looking bags with dangling sagging nonsense. As our friend Stella Bennent would say, less is more. But don’t think VBH skimps on quality, every bag is meticulously handcrafted by craftsmen in Italy. This little beauty [...]
Dear Michael
What happens to designers who don’t listen to the Bag Snob’s well given advice? Their assistants with big (but not always bright) ambitions take over and do whatever the hell they please. In a plea to the formerly fabulous Michael Kors, the Bag Snob has decided to send him this letter: Dearest Michael, We warned [...]
Demi as Coco?
Demi Moore is going to play Coco Chanel in an upcoming movie about the designer’s life including her younger days when she did a stint as a singer (Coco was her stage name, she was born Gabrielle). She would have been a fantastic lounge act but we’re thankful she sucked or lost interest and decided [...]
