CHANEL Cruise 2011: St. Tropez Classic Flap Bag
There are a few sure things in my world, and a Chanel bag is one of them. They are appropriate for just about any occasion (even the US Open!), never look dated, and just when you thought they couldn’t possibly think of more ways to tempt us with the chains and quilted lambskin, they come [...]
Hermes Fall 2010 Bags: The Studded Kelly
The Kelly was front and center at Hermes Fall 2010 in Paris last week– from rock and roll studs to fluffy sheepskin (and a mini pochette version attached to an umbrella!), it’s clear the Kelly is giving the birkin a serious run for the money! I waited for the flurry of blog reviews on Fall [...]
Loro Piana Bags: Globe trot in style!
There is nothing more quietly luxurious than Loro Piana bags (kind of how Hermes was before the tabloids and Hollywood got a hold of them). I bought the Globe bag for Kelly’s birthday 3 years ago in pale pink (and picked up a violet version for myself) and it’s still one of my favorite go [...]
Hermes shades of summer ’09
Check out the latest addition to my friend Katherine’s Hermes collection, the most amazing shade of emerald green called Vert Pelouse that has me green with envy (I have my peeps at H on the look out for it in exotic skin for me– will keep you posted!). This is the hottest color of summer [...]
Hermes Fall 2009
Jean Paul Gaultier did it again; as with the JPB birkin a few years ago– he tweaked on the uber popular Hermes birkin just enough but not so much that it’s not recognizable. Gone are the straps, hardware and flap, or are they? This is an amazingly creative use of Trompe-l’œil, now why didn’t I [...]
Hermes Goodlock for good luck!
Hermes hopes to bring us all a bit of good luck with its latest clutch, the Goodlock. Priced at $5,400, the understated calfskin clutch is expected to be the next waitlist inducing darling of the family. The color here is biscuit but it will be available in several colors including violine (my favorite Hermes color [...]
Gris Elephant Crocodile Birkin
Hermes Gris Elephant Matte Crocodile– this is one of the most amazing colors I’ve ever seen. Talk about getting excited– what could be more exciting than the two words– HERMES CROC? The photos here do not capture this color well– it’s a neutral olive shade with a silvery sheen that dances in the light. Depending [...]
Posh is still Posh Despite Depression: Himalayan Croc Birkin with Diamonds
How lovely to see Victoria Beckham, aka Posh, is still continuing to grow her vast Hermes collection with the latest darling- an Hermes Himalayan croc birkin with diamonds in 30cm. For me, the bling is overkill. The croc skin is so amazing by itself and is enough of a statement, the diamonds make it vulgar. [...]
Santa Baby…
Check out what Santa brought to loyal Bag Snob reader and my good friend, Melinda A. Her hubby (we call him Araisan) is an obsessive shopper not unlike myself and I have a lot of fun shopping vicariously through him! This delicious grey ostrich is in a shade of grey I had not seen before– [...]
