Weekend Bag Envy: Kate Moss

UPDATE- I just received confirmation from MULBERRY, this is indeed a Mulberry bespoke Bayswater bag in green Alligator (priced at £7,000 pounds or $13,895 USD). Told you so How amazing is the green Mulberry Bayswater crocodile bag Kate is showing off here? Talk about celeb product placement, but hey, designers have to do what they [...]

Maison Martin Margiela Satin Sac Bag

Happy Leap Year! To celebrate, here is a bag that is out of the norm. This Maison Martin Margiela bag is indicative of their aesthetic, it is out there and unstructured. I’m all for interesting and unique styles but when it comes to bags, it still needs to function like one. The look and feel [...]

Couture Snob: The Row

Tina in Oscar de la Renta/Ashley in The Row I attended a party for Ashley Olsen last week where she debuted the Fall collection of The Row, the ready to wear line she launched with twin Mary Kate last year. At the party, I introduced myself and was surprised at how open and friendly she [...]

White Hot Hermes

The dashing Cameron Silver called me today about a gorgeous white birkin he has for sale at Decades, his vintage boutique on Melrose. He knew I would want to know and I know you would want to know about this very rare 30cm Taurillon Clemence birkin from Hermes! As some of you know, Hermes stopped [...]

Fendi Giant Baguette Clutch

Totally brilliant! They did everything you could possibly imagine with the old baguette and honestly, who isn’t tired of [...]

Tod’s New Eight Due Manici

Spring is here! Or at least spring bags are and all the soft shades are making me very happy. This jade patent Tod’s is so cool and refreshing, like an apple martini at the beginning of a good balmy night (although this color is more minty but it still makes me think of a cocktail). [...]

Color Me Mine: Fendi Artist Baguette

I am all for creativity and self expression but this is really just an insult to our intelligence. Let’s see, make a cheap bag out of canvas (cost: $10 for bag+$3 for markers), mark it up 1000%, and call it artistic! Fendi has run out of ideas and is now asking us to do their [...]

Coco’s Puzzle Bag – Snob or Slob?

I know this bag will spark heated debate amongst our Chanel fans and I can’t wait to read what you guys think of it! Some of you will see this as a refreshing take on the classic quilted pattern and some may find it too trendy for Chanel. I will vote just like the rest [...]
