Still in Love with Bottega Veneta
We are still in love with Bottega Veneta’s crocker hobo a year later (how many loves can you say that about?) and it’s back this fall in mouth watering chocolate. How can you go wrong with a bag that has just enough detail to show off it’s craftsmanship yet tasteful and easy to wear with [...]
Wet Bikini Bag
Dear Bag Snob, I own several beach/summer tote bags because I practically live at the Soho House pool in the summer and like to keep a change of outfit in my bag in case friends call to meet up for drinks. My problem is I don’t know what to do with my wet bathing suit! [...]
The Slut Pack
I am pissed that my monthly ritual of indulging in fashion magazines is being ruined. Why is Lindsay Hohan, errr, Lohan, on every freaking cover? I want to rip off her face so that I can actually enjoy my moment of zen and oneness with fashion and print. So to save my inner sanctum and [...]
The luxury of Loro Piana
We all know there is nothing more heavenly than having a Loro Piana cashmere scarf. Their patented technique of spinning their yarn gives it that shimmer and the bright colors. You just feel like a million bucks when you throw that on even if it’s over some haphazard outfit. Which is why it is so [...]
Bag Snob is “Going Up”!
Our chic friend Furlagirl found a quote about us in the London Guardian magazine: Dear Bag Snob, There is a brief mention of you in yesterday’s London Guardian, on the fashion pages in the magazine, in a section called The Measure, which is one of those going up/going down features. You are, of course, Going [...]
Gold Medal for Pucci
This metallic Pucci may seem a little much for our taste but with the right outfit, it is super chic. This is the answer to the summer challenge of wanting to wear something easy without looking like a total slob. Especially if you decide to have lunch at a nice outdoor cafe, you do not [...]
Bag or Body Armor?
This Corto Moltedo Priscilla logo bag definitely ranks up there as THE ugliest bag we’ve ever featured but it is also the most bizaare. Not to be totally politically incorrect but I believe this is the latest fashion for suicide bombers (ok, that was totally un-PC but you do see my point, right?). As [...]
Bottega messenger bag
The Bag Snob receives requests for bag advice not only from our dear readers but from fashion experts and stylists too! Here is a recent email we received from Parisian style/etiquette expert Guillaume Coutheillas. Bonjour chère Bag Snob! Comment ca va… It was nice seeing you on Saturday…what a gorgeous day!! If you have time [...]
YSL Severine
Just to be fair because we do like YSL, here is a perfectly beautiful and rational bag that we love! These are the kind of bags we really encourage for the occassional shoppers – just sticking to the basics. This is a little mature but cute and hip youngster like our Bag Snob fans can [...]
Resort 2007
What started as a few easy pieces to pack in your 40cm birkin when jetting to Capri for the weekend has now become a major event in fashion. It seems almost everyone is doing extensive resort collections nowadays, maybe because it stays in stores longer than any other season (November-May) so they don’t have to [...]
