Jil Sander Nappa Boudin Tote
I am envisioning a girl, maybe me, wearing a summer shift dress in sandals, flats, skipping down the street with a giant smile. It’s like a typical ad for anything but none of it works if she has a shoulder bag or giant tote, she needs this Jil Sander top handle tote that is small [...]
Prada’s Road to Peril
Prada Antique Hobo SS2009; Ruched Hobo FW2008; Prada Tote FW2007 Prada might be facing the end if they do not figure something out quickly. Last year, their only saving product was the LG phone. Huh?? This is a design house built on bags! There are reports that say the company (including Miu Miu and Car [...]

On April 23rd Carlos Falchi celebrated 30 years at Bergdorf Goodman with a retrospective exhibition.

Carlos Falchi Oversized Handy Python Clutch

I might have to take back everything good ever said about Carlos Falchi. Only the hands are of python, the rest is [...]

Lambertson Truex Small Canvas Tote
Lambertson Truex filed for bankruptcy because they’re not selling enough bags which I can understand because I have never bought a Lambertson and I can’t say that I know someone who has. And that’s pretty bad statistics. But this one seems ok. But then again, it’s a canvas tote and the only one who can [...]
Madonna and the Mahina
Madonna has my favorite Louis Vuitton bag of recent years, the slouchy chic Mahina. The shape is modern and casual and it manages to showcase the iconic (if over exposed) logo in a subtle manner. This is the XL size ($3,360 and almost 30″ wide!), way too big for me and for a person who [...]
