by Kaitlin Serio
One of the questions that I get asked the most by friends, family, and even strangers once I tell them what it is that I do, is which bags I recommend that are beautiful and stylish but won’t break the bank. The truth is, I see a lot, and I mean a lot, of bags. […]

Let’s Give Mulberry Another Look
by Sajid Bin Mohammad
I’ve seen the Bayswater pictured on celebrities and working women alike multiple times.

A Closer Look at the New Chanel 22
by Megs Mahoney Dusil
A storied brand with some of the most recognizable and sought-after bag designs like Chanel may always be met with a bit of resistance when a new shape is introduced. I still remember when the Boy Chanel came out, many were unsure of the bag. The Chanel 19 was also met with trepidation as well, […]
