Alessandra Ambrosio Totes a Mansur Gavriel bucket Bag

Posted on by nvpxf

Here’s Alessandra Ambrosio, leaving lunch in West Hollywood while carrying a black Mansur Gavriel bucket Bag. These bags are completely sold out at the moment, but you can add one to your wishlist on Net-A-Porter and receive notification as soon as they come back in stock, which according to our sources, ought to be sometime in late February. If you’d like to browse through Alessandra’s many outstanding handbag stash, do have a gander at “The numerous Bags of Alessandra Ambrosio.”

We haven’t exactly been discreet about our ardent love for Mansur Gavriel here on PurseBlog. many recently, we publicly swooned over their newest batch of spring interior hues. That’s right, the bucket Bag will still come in its three standard exterior shades: black, “cammello” (light tan) and “brandy” (dark tan), but the brand is now providing an extended selection of interior color options. You can now choose a bag with a pink, metallic, or sunny yellow interior (for starters), instead of the super-popular “flamma” red hue.

Why Aren’t There much more great American luxury handbag Brands?

Posted on by nvpxf

As you might have noticed, we didn’t exactly flood the site the new York fashion Week coverage last week. That wasn’t an oversight; we’ve found that, over the years, you men really only care about seeing the great bag collections that go down the global runways, as well as the great bags that pop up outside. Unfortunately, for the past few seasons, it’s been a lot simpler to find interesting purses on attendees’ arms than on NYFW runways. It feels like a bit of a market lull, but that only implies the opportunity is best for a brand to fill the void.

There are, of course, plenty of noteworthy American accessories brands, and a couple with the kind of heritage stories that globally popular handbag makers take straight to the bank. trainer is the longest-running and many well-known of these companies, and it’s currently one of a few making convincing steps to reposition itself as a true luxury brand.

There’s also Alexander Wang, whose bags have offered a modern alternative for young women who think they’re too cool to carry the old Coach, but Wang hasn’t had a new handbag hit for his own brand because he started at Balenciaga. Indeed, his fall 2015 runway bags were retooled versions of previous hits, plus an on-trend backpack for good measure. 3.1 Phillip Lim, in a similar tier of the market, has struggled to find his next big thing after the smash hit Pashli.

And then there are the Tory Burches, Rebecca Minkoffs and MICHAEL Michael Kors of the American market, who relocation huge amounts of product by creating accessibly priced takes on the looks that luxury designers ideal and popularize. They’ve got what they do down to a science and serve a worthy audience, but they also leave a lot of opportunity in the American market for high-end luxury, development and diversification.

American fashion is often criticized as too commercial and contemporary; we are, after all, a culture than tends to value commerce much more than art, at least when compared to Europe. but that doesn’t, and shouldn’t, be an impediment to the manufacture of great top-tier luxury handbags. Bags are the most commercial of fashion’s categories, and brands often rely on them to stay in the black; a decline in bag sales can poke significant holes in the hull of even the most significant fashion ships. (For proof, look no even more than Prada and Louis Vuitton.)

Indeed, two of American fashion’s many recent handbag success stories blend creative design and stable sales seamlessly: Mansur Gavriel and Proenza Schouler. The former is growing its product lineup slowly and deliberately while still selling through its complete stock every season, and the latter, while still feeling around a bit for its next big Thing, shown that fashion customers will still pay luxury prices for bags from young American designers, as long as the bag is great and feels worthy of the price.

Marc Jacobs shown that once upon a time as well, although his brand now struggles with the repercussions of its own commercial success; consumers eager to get a piece of the brand flocked to the less-expensive Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag line, and now that’s what many accessories consumers think of when they think of the brand, making the four-figure price labels on the original line a difficult sell. Michael Kors, another quintessentially American too-much-success story, is currently handling similar consumer perception.

Despite the relative lull at the top end of the American market, though, there are signs of life. In addition to Mansur Gavriel’s addictively minimal day bags and the trainer creative turnaround, Marc Jacobs is once again making bags that feel as though they might be worth the $2,000 price tag. American fashion will never have the heritage prestige of French houses like Chanel and Hermès, but that’s not the only way to make compelling luxury bags. and for those who successfully harness the trappings of heritage, like Ralph Lauren, there’s room for expansion.

Alexander Wang seems likely to come through with something new for the cool downtown girls, but he’ll have the be careful to not fall into another trap that afflicted Marc Jacobs: letting his eponymous brand become stale while he put remarkable creative energy into the venerable old French house he was hired to lead. 3.1 Phillip Lim, on the other hand, feels like he’s very close to the ideal Pashli followup, and it takes experimentation for even the most seasoned accessories designer to get it right. (See also: Reed Krakoff, Coach’s longtime creative director who is currently in the process of recalibrating his own young brand. So far, the results are positive.)

The opportunity that exists in the American market is clear; we make up a huge proportion of foreign brands’ annual sales, but we’re a fashion market still forming our own accessories identity. For enterprising young designers or existing brands wanting to redefine theirown public faces, there’s no time like the present.

Last night’s episode of real Housewives of Beverly Hills both began and ended with two classic real Housewives fight archetypes. First, Joyce and Carlton did the not-so-friendly one-on-one lunch sitdown, and it was perhaps the most inane one in Housewives history because it was about spells. At the end of the episode, Kyle (again with Carlton) went for the big-blow-up-at-a-supposedly-fancy-party variety of fight, bookending this episode nicely. It should surprise absolutely no one that Carlton was the common denominator in both major conflicts, because she is absolutely incapable of playing well with others.

1. The description of this episode in my cable guide was, “Joyce confronts Carlton about a spell.” Can we just burn down television and try again? We’ve clearly failed this time around.

2. When shooting a book cover, perhaps consider what the book’s about. At first, when we dropped in on Brandi’s cover session, I was like, why is she letting the woman in the plaid pirate shirt overrule her stylists? As it turns out, though, plaid pirate shirt was the only person on set who actually remembered what the book was meant to be about, and she was absolutely right. Touche, plaid pirate shirt. Touche.

3. now that Joyce believes the dangers Carlton told her to believe, Carlton is offended. other things that offend Carlton: Assertions that the sky is blue. When someone brings her phone to lunch, even if she leaves it in her purse and never touches it. (Carlton can sense that it’s there and that the owner is thinking about it.) When someone has a cat that is not black. When someone names his or her child a regular name instead of some kind of random noun that relates back to the mother’s own personality.

4. Carlton believes that it is taboo and disrespectful to discuss religion. It’s too bad that irony, along with aesthetic taste and basic interpersonal skills, is lost on Carlton.

5. getting a tattoo on the inside of your wrist doesn’t hurt that badly. Ooh! Ooh! I can provide personal competence on this matter, because I have a large (for the area) tattoo that’s almost entirely filled in on the inside of my left wrist. It did not hurt. It burned a tad, and the line closest to my hand stung a little bit, but it is just not that bad. A pal came with me to hold my (other) hand, and I think she squeezed me tighter than I squeezed her. Kim’s tattoo is much smaller than mine and not filled; it probably took about four minutes of chair time, which isn’t even enough to really get revved up about the consistent burning sensation.

6. Lisa’s has located the cutest puppy on the face of the planet. I have a strong personal bias toward bully breeds being the cutest puppies ever, but Lisa has more money than I can reasonably comprehend, and when you have that much money, it affords you things like puppies who are so supernaturally charming that they melt the cold, uncaring brains of reality TV viewers. (I include myself in that grouping.)

7. Brandi is doing a cleanse. So she got a vodka soda.

8. If you slept with someone’s husband, don’t wave your engagement ring at her. This seems like common courtesy to me, not to mention common sense if you’re trying not to get punched in the throat, but being on reality TV is like living in opposite world – whatever you shouldn’t do in objective reality is something that will make you the star of the show.

9. who did Brandi punch to break her hand? They pointed out that she hit a dude, but did they ever say who she punched? Did I glaze over at some point? That seems like the kind of information I would have snapped out of it for.

10. Carlton is mad that Kyle didn’t want to go into a bathroom at her house in which someone had just taken a huge, smelly dump. All dumps taken in Carlton’s house smells like roses. IT’S A SPELL, OK.

11. Carlton is the victim here. That’s what Carlton would like your takeaway from this episode to be, even if it’s not anyone else’s.

Handbag count: Kyle’s Valentino Rockstud, after which I lost track.

Posted on by nvpxf

Late last week, on a bright, sunny, as well as breezy afternoon, trainer held its spring 2022 presentation in midtown Manhattan. The show was held at Pier 76, walking distance from the brand’s new York City office. While the show was held in midtown, the collection’s vibe was totally downtown, possessing the kind of simple and easy cool-girl (or guy) vibe that we’ve come to expect from trainer these days. The collection’s RTW was a mix of elevated fundamentals as well as streetwear that satisfies high-end essentials. The presentation totally complimented the collection’s feel, featuring skateboarders as well as beginning with a kitschy clip from trainer TVs ‘Public gain access to Programming,’ which is a play on 90s TV as well as infomercials.

As for the accessories, which we are all right here for, one bag stole the show, as well as it is clearly going to be a big push for the brand. For spring 2022, the brand has dipped into its archives to reinvent its Cashin bring tote. The tote’s namesake developer Bonnie Cashin when said:

“The best-designed purse in the world is the paper buying bag, so I didn’t try to enhance on it”

Cashin was the very first lead designer hired by trainer in 1962 and, for many, is thought about a pioneer of American sportswear. This collection featured different odes to her legacy, such as the bright plaids as well as houndstooth prints drawn from the trainer archives. though the most noteworthy is, of course, the Cashin bring Tote, which appeared on the runway toted by designs both male as well as female. The traditional as well as minimalistic shape was seen in numerous versions, from bright as well as strong smooth leathers to plaids, tweeds, as well as quirky prints, the Cashin bring tote’s easy shape makes for the ideal blank canvas. other versions featured gold-framed kiss locks, which pay homage to Cashin’s bag styles from the past.

In addition to the Cashin bring totes seen on the runway, trainer likewise released a limited-edition line of buy-it-now pieces to coincide with the spring 2022 presentation.
