Chloe Paraty

I have not seen a Chloe bag as exciting as the Paraty since the Paddington (yes– I still love them, I have two but they are stored away).  I first noticed it in an ad over the summer in Paris– I made a mental note to find out more to report to you but upon [...]

YSL Black Tote

If you are looking to invest in one piece this season to take you through the depression crunch, YSL has the answer in its latest creation. A simple and chic black tote bag is always in style– the gleaming shiny leather (not patent!) and unique shape keeps it from being yet another boring tote. You [...]

Ferragamo Faustina

Ferragamo has a brand new designer and HELLO, isn’t it totally obvious? Cristina Ortiz replaced Graeme Black last season and this her first collection. Although it seems curious as to how this translates to the usual Ferragamo customer, I for one can overlook the old lady classic aesthetic that the brand is known for and [...]

Recession Shopping – Anya Hindmarch for Target

While America waits with bated breath on the big bail out bill; it’s clear we’re entering a new era.

The bags look similar to [...]

Chanel Misses, the “Candy-Like” and “Tibet”

Yeah, we all know Chanel can do classic but there is more than one customer out there and they know it. In an attempt to do cute and funky they ended up with child-like and furry. Let’s start with the child-like bag which is actually named “Candy-like”. Through astute observation, they see that their core [...]

Fendi Rocks Spring 2009

It appears Spring 2009 will be the season of Fendi bags! I am as shocked as you that I love these bags but I do. Style.com called it the “kangaroo pouch” and WWD called it the “undone birkin”– but I call it “Tina’s spring bag purchase”. Fendi’s new lovely comes in every color and material [...]

Bags at the 2009 Emmy’s

As promised, here are some of the bags seen at the Emmy Awards. I am glad to see that they aren’t run of the mill – it looks as though celebs decided to show their independent style in their bags rather than in their gowns. Maybe there was a compromise with their stylists and publicists? [...]
