This month marks the revolutionary take on bag’s 60th anniversary, as well as somehow, it’s even much more prominent now than it was in 1955.

That’s if you don’t want to pass it down to your daughter, of course.

Below, we’ve compiled as much info as we might about the bag’s particulars. since Chanel has a tendency to keep things close to the vest, some info may be incomplete. If you can believe of anything that may be a helpful addition to the guide, please let us understand in the comments.

new York fashion Week fall 2018 is upon us, and beyond what will hopefully be a handful of good new bag collections for us to peruse, that means one thing: lots of beautiful, rich, famous people carrying handbags that would otherwise be somewhat difficult to work into an outfit, where you going to any event but fashion week. but what’s fashion for, if not to dream about exactly these sorts of scenario?

Lately, there have been some pretty obvious trends among the bags the glitterati choose to tote to these particular events. If a bag has lots of embellishments or is made out of an unexpected material: great. If it’s got those things and it is also in a shape that makes it sort of inconvenient to carry: even better. This is all about the look, after all. For at least a couple weeks twice a year, functionality goes out the window.

With nothing but pure, attention-grabbing aesthetics in mind, we looked around the current handbag market and found almost two dozen purses that seemed primed to star in a street style snap. check them out below—they’re not all as expensive as you might think.

We love having the opportunity to work with other remarkable sites around the interwebs and do it as typically as we can. This time, we’re working with an amazing new site called Glossi.com, which mixes personal publishing with social media. I remember first hearing how this site would work and thought it might be too good to be true. Turns out, it’s not too good to be true. It’s actually, in fact, that awesome!

The site itself works like a do-it-yourself magazine. You can drop text and images into your Glossi and share it with all of your friends. Naturally, when we were given the chance to give this amazing new tool a shot, we couldn’t pass it up. The first Glossi we dealt with highlights the 2012 fall texture trends we noticed. Take a look below and let us know what you think. pretty fabulous, right?

Proenza Schouler hosted limited press previews of Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2013 last week, which presents a few problems. Namely, we want to see the bags, but Proenza only releases a limited number of collection images to the public, and they’re all full looks; you can see half a bag in some of them, if you look really closely. What’s a bag lover to do? Take it to the people, of course.

As it turns out, Instagram isn’t just for putting hazy filters over photos of your lunch. If you know where to look, it’s also a good source of behind-the-scenes info in a slew of industries, including fashion. Naturally, some editors and buyers took some pictures of the Proenza Pre-Fall 2013 bags to show to their followers, and we’ve found a few to tide you over until the collection’s in-store dates get a little closer. Our favorites? The painterly, color-shifting PS11’s above, from London-based buyer Tiffany Hsu.

A clearer look at the candy-button grasp from fashion writer Izaballin:

absolutely stunning, featuring the most desired exotic skin, the most popular color, as well as a slim as well as trim shape, the Yves Saint Laurent Crocodile Uptown Bag has it all. designed with stunning gray parent crocodile, this purse is spiced up with gold tone hardware as well as its magnificent turnlock closure on the front tab. The double top handles are just what the season phone calls for, implements smooth as well as long lines. The interior divides, showing a side zip pocket as well as a cell phone pocket. dimensions are perfect10″H x 14 1/2″W x 6″D yet the cost may put you in shock. If you are one of the lucky ones, this purse is absolutely a must-have if you have the right amount of money. Pre-order at Saks for $26,995 (as in more than most people make after taxes in a year).
