Sometimes we get tired of wearing the same bag over and over again. We want something new, and buying a new bag is undoubtedly a great idea, but not as affordable and practical.

The coveted Chanel Trendy was first spotted on the spring 2014 runway. The trendy is recognized by its “Chanel” top plate, top handle, CC clasp in the front, woven chain strap, three separated compartments and a back pocket. The Trendy was designed to be a working women’s go-to bag. It flew off the shelves on its initial launch, making it an instant success. It’s now considered a classic amongst the Chanel addict community. This bag is made in limited quantities. That means when shopping at the store there are very rarely any Trendy’s lined up on the shelf. Chanel only releases a handful of Trendy CC’s easy season, making it unique and rare to other Chanel styles. The Trendy is priced more than a Chanel 19 and Coco Handle. However, it’s still a lower price point than a classic flap. […]

Mommy Bag (noun): Mary Poppins of bags usually contain diapers, snacks and everything you and everyone around you may need. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have a kid to rock a mommy bag. How is a mommy bag different from a tote? I’m glad you asked. A mommy bag can be even a small bag that if organized correctly, can fit everything you could possibly need. A tote is usually larger and typically made of canvas, leather or any easy to clean material. These bags are perfect since they are able to carry all essentials while remaining stylish and elegant. The Birkin is the OG mommy bag – Jane Birkin originally used it as a diaper bag. Bags are meant to be enjoyed and used. If you are worried about them getting a little dirty, don’t worry, we […]

The only GST I like is the Chanel GST – not the tax, the Grand Shopping Tote. This tote was available in two other sizes: the Petite Shopping Tote (PST) and the Grand Shopping Tote XL (GST XL). The oldest GST first launched in early 2004, then it was reissued in 2010, and discontinued in 2015. The GST tote rose to fame in the early to mid 2000’s with the entire cast of The Hills, Paris Hilton and many other reality TV stars sporting the bag on their arm. There are two models of this tote; the original model style code was A20995, and the newer model ( the reissued one) style code was A50995. What are the differences between the two styles? 1. Its light as air This bag is extremely light and, considering its full caviar leather […]
Sarah Coleman, a Manhattan-born designer, has turned Louis Vuitton bags into folding chairs. Huh? – we want one! In July 2018, Coleman began reupholstering a vintage armchair using a deconstructed broken Louis Vuitton suitcase which belonged to her father. Her designs have gained mass popularity – she now has a full-blown website where her work is readily available for purchase. Coleman stated in the Robb Report: “My work came about in a very organic way. I went for it after upholstering my own chair using an LV luggage piece I had but was not using because of a broken zipper. I always have my eyes open for new pieces that I can create or materials to repurpose in a new way from how they are usually seen,” Her inspiration for her work came from walking downtown and seeing a small […]
