The fashion and accessories industries have always been obsessed with “newness”. Each season, it seems that the collections are getting rolled out earlier and earlier, shoving us towards our springtime wardrobe planning long before the subarctic temperatures of the cold season have begun to let up. To that end, designers are always keen to be the purveyors of The Next...

Yep, you heard that right. Rumor has it that North West, the firstborn daughter of self-proclaimed creative genius Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, is now the proud new owner of her very own Louis Vuitton handbag. For the record, North West is three years old. Three. Kim and her daughter were spotted out and about in New York this week...

There has certainly been no shortage of handbag options for spring and summer; bag options are as widely varying as the people who carry them. Perhaps you're a backpack gal who lives out of her well-worn leather rucksack, or perhaps after all this time you still have a soft spot in your heart for a classic double-handled tote. Whatever your...

Louis Vuitton’s newly-minted creative director, Nicholas Ghesquiere, has taken the brand by storm, and shows no signs of slowing down. With the holiday season bearing-down upon us, the brand has launched what many are calling its most expensive handbag ever. What’s the bag that’s making such a splash? A beautiful top handle tote with a shoulder strap called the City...

This past September, hotel heiress and “other Hilton sister” Nicky Hilton has launched a capsule collection with Los Angeles based leather goods brand Linea Pelle. The brand's vision is to create leather goods for women who appreciate the perfect marriage between style and function, a philosophy which has seemingly suited Hilton's design point-of-view quite well. Hilton has been quietly designing...

Yes, we know how it sounds - a lot like one of those infomercial workouts you see on television. However, when it comes to your designer leather handbags, the human rules of staying in shape simply do not apply. Unlike with our bodies, the more you work out a handbag, the saggier its shape is likely to become. That being...

We've all heard (or worse, experienced) the horror stories; one minute, you're sitting happily in an outdoor cafe at your picturesque holiday travel destination, and the next, you realize that your handbag, and everything inside of it, has vanished into thin air. Sadly, this is an all too common scenario for many travellers, marring an otherwise beautiful and relaxing holiday...

By now, you're probably used to hearing the terms natural, green, and eco-friendly thrown-around like a frisbee at a barbecue. It's true that all things organic and natural have become a bit trendy of late, but that is not to say that there is no merit in the concept of going green. For example, did you know that even something...

You have to admit, even those of us who consider ourselves fairly low-maintenance have thought about it at some point. It's raining, you have your brand-new investment handbag on your arm and that plastic grocery bag in the back of the car looks like a pretty gosh darn good way to minimize the water damage to your beloved handbag. But...

Those of us who love bags know all too well that it is nearly impossible for the average bag-loving fashionista to settle on just one handbag. Each season, designers pump-out several covetable designs, and it’s all most of us can do to restrain ourselves by limiting our new season acquisitions to just one (okay, maybe two). However, if you did...
