The Coach Borough Bag Lives a Day in the Life of PurseBlog’s New York Story

Coach has always been a quintessentially New York brand, with both its historical roots and current business operation on the island of Manhattan, and for Fall 2013, Coach’s association with the city is only getting closer. 

Valentino has Taken a Big Step Away from the Rockstud for Spring 2014

During Paris Fashion Week, we didn’t have a chance to give you guys an in-depth look at the bags that graced the Valentino Spring 2014 runway – we only have so many hours in the workday, and Paris is a nearly nonstop onslaught of things deserving of those hours.

If you followed along with your Spring 2014 runway roundups, you already know what I’m about to say. 

Take a Look at the Beautiful Bags of Coach Spring 2014

If you’ve been hoping that American handbag stalwart Coach would do things a little bit differently, your time has come. Last week, we got a peek at the Fall 2013 version of the Coach Borough Bag (that should be landing at Coach.com any minute now) on the arm of none other than accessories tastemaker Sarah Jessica Parker, and now Coach Spring 2014 reveals that the new design will be the foundation of its forthcoming season.

Obsession: Gucci Bamboo Shopper

We shared a three part series on Gucci Bamboo, including the history of, the making of, and theauthority of Gucci Bamboo. It’s easy to see why Gucci Bamboo has secured a place in the accessories world, as the quality and craftsmanship reign supreme and the designs are impeccable.

From My Closet : Dior Soft Bag

Hi Everyone, 

A lot of you keep asking about my bag and shoes collection. I hear you.  I once clicked a ton of pictures to show you my most loved bags. The pics turned out bad. I dumped them. Also, my bags and shoes are so precious to me that I felt I was not doing justice to each by posting them all in one post.

Now what? 

10 Reasons We Love Handbags

The day has come! Today is the first annual National Handbag Day, a holiday which we founded this year to celebrate our clearly undying passion for the things that help us schlep around our stuff.

What Your Handbag Says About You

Some people read tea leaves, I read handbags. Trust me, my readings are way more accurate than your average beverage-based guesses, and today, in celebration of National Handbag Day, I’m here to share them with you. Fashion, of course, is an outward expression of how we see ourselves, and perhaps more importantly, how we want others to see us.

Quilted Lock Crossbody Bag

Start your collection of affordable quilted handbags with a classic style. This crossbody bag comes in a classic quilted design with a front flap closure, gold tone turn lock, and chain link strap. It’s from ASOS and will set you back around $30. This design is quite popular, probably because it’s so similar to the classic Chanel 2.55, and you can find similar bags in a range of affordable fashion stores.

Perfect Pairs: Kenzo and Opening Ceremony

It’s finally beginning to feel a bit like fall in NYC after what seemed like an endless heat wave. Up until a couple of days ago people could still be seen wearing shorts and sandals, but thankfully, Mother Nature has finally decided to grace us with some cool air.

Pre-Order Some of Spring 2014′s Best Bags Now via Neiman Marcus

Watching bags come down the runway is fun, but I always vastly prefer spotting new bags for pre-order to scoping out a fashion show. Even the earliest retail pre-orders, as you might guess, are far more indicative of what consumers can actually expect to see in stores than bags that are included in shows, which, as you guys recently pointed out, are often super weird.

Oh You Fancy, Huh? The 12 Best Handbag Name-Checks in Recent Musical History

Other than PursBlog’s readers (and writers), perhaps the people who love handbags more than anyone else are rappers, and we’d like to think that somewhere (probably in Paris), Kanye West will be celebrating National Handbag Day along with us tomorrow.

0 Amanda Mull Oct 8, 2013 Chanel Check Out Chanel’s Fall 2013 Bags, in Stores Now

While we were all obsessing over what was coming down the runway in Paris, Chanel’s Fall 2013 bags quietly slipped into a boutique near you. In contrast to the heavily Scottish-accent pre-fall collection, these bags are more streamlined, traditional arrow directly to any Chanel lover’s heart.

The Handbags That Got Away

When it comes to bags, nothing worse than passing up something you love and then regretting it. We’ve all been there – something catches our eye, we hesitate, it’s gone forever and then we obsess about it endlessly. The Bag That Got Away is a common theme over at our PurseForum, where many members keep running lists of the out-of-season bags they’re longing for in their post signatures, hoping that another member will spy them somewhere and tip them off. Everyone knows the term “buyer’s remorse”, but what about the remorse that comes from not buying?

Man Bag Monday: Coach + Billy Reid

We love any collaboration that yields gorgeous bags, but Coach + Billy Reid, which is brand new for Fall 2013, is particularly close to our hearts because of the way it unites two classic American brands. You’re all familiar with New York-based Coach, one of the most enduring leather goods brands in American history, and if you’re not familiar with Alabama-based Billy Reid, we’d like to provide a formal introduction.

Sophia Bush Goes High-Low With 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target and Lanvin Bags

Here’s actress Sophia Bush, one of our favorite celeb bag lovers, headed to a salon in LA, carrying both a 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Gusset Tote and a Lanvin Love Pouch. You can snatch up Sophia’s oversized Target tote for the extremely reasonable price of $55 at Target, natch. (It looks like it would make a pretty decent carry-on bag, in a pinch.) You can also get her metallic Lanvin clutch for $508 at farfetch.com. Just a slight disparity in prices there.

Dolce & Gabbana Miss Dolce embellished brocade clutch

Keeping up with the luxurious motifs defining Dolce & Gabbana’s one-of-a-kind designs, the clutch inspired by the mosaics of Sicily’s Cathedral of Monreal keeps the idea of heritage alive. Trust the crystal and bead-embellished style to make your evenings memorable.

Givenchy’s Ever-Popular Bambi Sweatshirt Also Comes in Bag Form

As soon as Givenchy’s Bambi-print (or “deer print” – I’m pretty sure Disney doesn’t want Givenchy using their trademarked name, but I see what I see) sportswear hit the runways back in February, it was a foregone conclusion that, like the Givenchy Rottweiler before it, the pieces would become immediate favorites of industry folks and celebs alike and make an appearance in practically every street style picture for the next six months.
