Hermes is not so secretive when it comes to the production of their products, they actually inform their clients of how they source their exotic skins. This level of transparency is how Hermes remains the elite fashion house in the luxury industry.
Your closet can be designer. Why can’t your home? Here are some of our tips to make your home more luxurious
The first Monday in May is the most coveted event in fashion, The Met Gala. This exclusive event handpicks influential people in fashion and brings them together. The red carpet never seems to amaze with the creative gowns from top luxury brands. The theme this year was “Gilded Glamour”. Below is what bags we would pick for some of the red carpet looks! Gigi Hadid: Kim Kardashian: Irina Shayk: Kris Jenner: Nicola Peltz: Iris Law: Bella Hadid: Bag Lovers, Who was your favorite look this year?
Oh the Oscars! The most glamorous night in Hollywood. For any fashion lover, we know the red carpet is the best part. Upon ogling at all the fashion, there were a few trends we noticed that would be making way for the spring/summer season: Pastels: Pastels are nothing new! However, they are beautiful. We saw a trend for monochrome colours this year. Pastels give a neutral – airy vibe which makes the monochrome trend understated, femine and chic. Business Attire: Formalwear took on a whole new meaning with this business casual look. Chalamet looked incredible in Louis Vuitton. We are swooning at the idea of that jacket with a Chanel pearl crush for an elegant look. All Black The classic little back dress. The simplicity of the colour allows for it to be constructed in geometric shapes and […]
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 […]
Ah women, they do some of the great things! There are so many incredible women in fashion. Today, let’s take a moment and honor them and the brands they have created and/or contributed to. Coco Chanel The famous Coco Chanel – if you were to google most famous women designer, guaranteed she is the first result. Considered by many to have been the greatest fashion force who ever lived. Coco Chanel changed the way women wore clothes – she capitalized on the changing times and she was a fashion icon. During the war, women only wore trousers when working a traditionally male job – Coco Chanel played a massive role in making trousers for women a popular fashion item. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski The creative director of Hermes. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Antwerp. She then […]
Ahhh spring has sprung. Which means we are updating our winter wardrobe into spring. I, for one, am looking forward to warmer weather and some new trends that get me excited about style again. Also, a new excuse for a bag is always exciting. Green Is So In You will have everyone green with envy when you’re rocking one of these green bags. Green is perfect for a monochromatic look or even a pop of color in an all-neutral look. Bucket Bags The bucket bag is making a comeback just like its distant cousin, the bucket hat, which made a comeback in 2021. The bucket bag is perfect for an evening bag that can dress up any outfit. I personally love how secure the bag is with the strings that pull the bag […]
Last weekend was the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I’m not going to lie. I watched mainly to see the fashion and to be inspired. Anyone else watch just to see what everyone wore? I truly wasn’t disappointed that everyone dressed to impress. These are my top picks and some trends I noticed for spring. Silver Metallic Something we saw all over the SAG Awards was beautiful silver metallic dresses and makeup. I noticed all the celebrities were rocking silver jewellery. I think we will be seeing a trend of more silver accessories and handbags this spring – gold is so winter/fall anyways (kidding, currently wearing a gold necklace). Crystal Embellishment Crystal embellishments add that dressed up glamour to any look. Embellishment on a simple black dress gives it that extra edge and va va voom. The same goes with an […]
Does everyone feel busier in February than any other month? Maybe because it’s a shorter month. Since I survived the February blues and I feel like I have become a strong business woman – I’m going to need a new work bag to treat myself. I think you need to treat yourself too. Sac De Jour Classy, structured, and spacious. “Sac De Jour” translates to “Day Bag” – you go to work during the day, which is a sign that this should be your work bag. The structure of the bag gives the bag its elegance to be paired with a power suit or delicate dress. The bag itself isn’t bulky and has delicate pleats along the side to give it more of a feminine design. Chanel Jumbo Flap It can fit a laptop. Need I say more? I […]

How to Become a Luxury Fashion Influencer! Want to get signed by luxury fashion brands as an influencer? However, it seems too hard or even impossible to ever get there? Knowing your audience and the content you put out there can play a huge role and can impact the endorsements and sponsorships you get. Fast Fashion vs Luxury Fashion Influencers who choose to work with many fast fashion brands such as Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Things, or Shein, reach a specific audience that is looking for that content. This target audience is typically not the luxury fashion industry. Though this is not a problem if your targeted audience is that, just know that this will impact who you get signed by, as other lower end or fast fashion clothing companies will be attracted to endorsing you as well. Also for most influencers […]
Ever wondered which bags are the best investments? Or which ones you should buy new or pre-loved? If you are interested in making spending your money smarter than we are here to help! We have created a collection of bags that we recommend buying in store and one’s we absolutely DO NOT. Every month we will be sharing a few of these bags! Let’s start with the DO NOT BUY’s! We have seen these bags decrease by up to 70% of their retail value within a year! The Large Lady Dior The large Lady Dior retails for approximately $7000 in store which we find absolutely absurd. In the pre-loved market we have seen them average $3000 at most. Due to the more unpopular size and the resale value, we do not recommend buying this new. Save thousands and buy pre-loved! The Balenciaga […]

See how our authenticity experts determined that this Gucci Soho Disco was fake!
What on earth is a ‘Hermès gang’? We had the same question after we read headlines earlier last month about a group of individuals who were criminally charged for illegally selling authentic Hermès handbags. The Birkin and Kelly Resale Scheme A group of 10 individuals began to recruit fake Hermès buyers from acting schools; the actors were instructed to dress in expensive luxury clothing and visit their local Hermès store to create a customer profile, with the objective of purchasing a handbag. Once the actors were able to purchase a Hermès handbag, the gang provided them with the funds to complete the purchase, and allegedly also compensated them for their participation in the scheme. It is estimated that each bag was purchased for an approximate price of $8,000. The gang ran this operation for over four years, and purchased close to half of the Hermès handbag supply. On average, it has been reported that they generated close to a million […]
