We've been talking a lot about Louis Vuitton here on the blog lately, and for good reason. It would seem that the brand really has its finger on the pulse of what makes classic handbag enthusiasts tick. Their latest offering, while not strictly a handbag per se, is yet another example of just how well the iconic design house seems...

Despite a few distant murmurings in the fashion world over the past few holiday seasons, velvet is something that we really have not seen trending on the runways in quite some time. Sure, those of us who are old enough to have come of age in the 80s and 90s have a very strong recollection of the heavy velvet dresses...

We almost feel like a bit of a broken record with this news; iconic design house, Louis Vuitton, has once again created an accessory that has the fashion cognoscenti clamoring over each other to add to their respective collections. What is perhaps the most surprising part about this headline is that it's not what you might expect. It's not another...

While making the decision to treat yourself to an investment-tier designer handbag is a commendable one, there is a bit more to it than just choosing the latest and greatest “it” bag that's garnering the most buzz. An investment bag is just that; an investment. As such, it would be remiss not to consider the potential resale value of a...

But...

While every year, handbag designers crank-out a certain number of limited edition bags, it is very rare that you would ever hear the word “theme” associated with these bags. However, there have been several instances of limited edition bags over the years that are just that. Whether they have been designed as a part of a larger project or simply...

You might think that between ten and sixty thousand dollars is quite a lot to spend on a Hermes handbag, and you would be right. At a recent handbag auction at Christies (the first of its kind), some limited-edition pre-owned Hermes bags went for as much as sixty thousand dollars. However, you might also be surprised to know that a...

The winter doldrums are likely well and truly a part of your landscape by now; the freezing cold, the dark, flat, lightless days, and the need for several layers of clothing to keep the cold at bay have become as much a part of your daily routine as that first cup (okay, few cups) of coffee. However, just because the...

With the advent of smartphones, a whole new genre has opened up for accessories designers. Instead of being just a thing that holds a gadget, smartphone cases have become an accessory in their own right.
