A bag is one of the essential accessories in any closet. You may love a bg, but did you know the stars guided you there? At least, that’s what I told my bank account… When we buy bags, we are guided not only by fashion trends but also by the intuitive feeling that comes from choosing our own “it” bags.

The good ole reliable,iconic and sturdy key pouch.The key pouch is a practical accessory that carries coins, cards, folded bills and any small item you can carry. That explains the “pouch” part – the “key” part comes from being about to clip your keys to the “D” ring. You can hang the key pouch on the d-ring inside your Louis Vuitton bags, a bag exterior, another keychain, or on a belt. A key pouch is a great organization tool!
Rodeo Charm wasn’t an immediate fan favorite. However, now it’s a must have for all Hermes lovers. It won the hearts of fans with its adorable shape and puffy texture. It comes in over 80 colors, with So Black, Rubis and Blue Zanzibar being the rarest colors to get your hands on. The charm is made from Milo Lambskin, a soft leather commonly used for gloves and accessories. The leather remains smooth with use, making it perfect for the charm. Did you notice the leather strap hanging on the saddle similar to riding a horse, the strap is long enough to be wrapped around the bag twice to secure it.

My favorite videos to watch on YouTube are “what is in my bag?”.. I always watch and once someone explains the purpose of an item in their bag, I run and put it in my purse. Tape is the one thing I carry around that people think is strange – but the amount of times it has come in handy, I don’t regret that purchase.

It’s Spring, and in spring 2017 the infamous Chanel Gabrielle bag was first launched. Gabrielle was targeted towards a younger demographic. It was designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. His inspiration was Gabrielle Chanel. Gabrielle paid tribute to the founder and her constant desire to put women’s freedom first, freedom of style. The bag was said to be an effortless “it” bag with a contemporary twist. The bag’s shape takes inspiration from oculus glasses. The adjustable strap lets you wear it three different ways: over the shoulder, cross body or both at the same time. The Gabrielle received mixed reviews amongst Chanel fans, doubting the longevity of the bags’ style. The bag was well received amongst celebrities and influencers. The Gabrielle has become a staple in Chanel’s collection. Here are some Chanel Gabrielle Hobo Bags that we have in stock: […]

Guccio Gucci founded Gucci in 1921, making it the oldest Italian fashion brand. Gucci initially started out as a baggage manufacturer and equestrian goods for the upper class.

From the 1950’s onwards, the company experienced great success with A-list celebrities, high-class citizens and luxury shoppers recognizing the brand.

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 […]
