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.

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.

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 […]

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!

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 […]
