I am not a big fan of patchworks and studs are so in now they are almost out but this satchel from MICHAEL Michael Kors are somehow impossibly beautiful and more stylish rather than trendy. I think the Astor would still be easy on most eyes even after the studs craze is over. MICHAEL Michael Kors is like the Marc by Marc Jacobs to Marc Jacobs and naturally the price is good. At USD448, all I will say is it is HOT. Available at Nordstrom, which is on FIRE!!!!

Almost everyone I know owns a piece or two of Louis Vuitton Monogram or Damier Canvas small leather goods so despite its price tag, it becomes a tacky situation when several people on the same table draw out similar wallets or cardholders at the same time. Once in a while, comes a variation of the Canvases which are cool without trying too much to be arty and I find their latest attempt commendable. Actually, I like them all! The range consists of Monogram Canvas, Damier Ebony and Azur Canvas and the canvases are being “stamped” on with vintage Louis Vuitton label design to give that nostalgic and heritage feel. You know I find anything vintage-related irresistible right? The Label Collection small leather goods start from USD200 for a key holder to USD500 for a pochette.

Dear Purseholic
Is Hermes Picotin bag worth buying? With the price I could get a more elaborated bag from another designer.

Hi Jessica
The thing about Hermes bags is that its price is almost never justifiable for just a bag. I am going to give you the same advice as I have always given when it comes to Hermes goods: buy it if you know you will be using and loving it forever and possibly passing down to your offspring. The question is whether Picotin’s simple design suits your style in general? Don’t buy Hermes just because it is Hermes.
Personally, I like the TGM (biggest) size Picotin but I have Marwari, Victoria and Evelyn ahead of it on my wish-list.

That is a long and mouthful name for a bag but it is pretty self-descriptive. The bag is available in both silver and gold textured leather. The New Cambridge is a functional daily bag with many zip compartments and this new version just upped the glam factor of what was previously considered a very nice daily bag. Naturally this also commands a price increase from USD468 (fabric version) / USD568 (full leather version) to USD798 now. Still, I think the price is pretty justifiable for the rare treatment of the leather for this bag. Do you like this?

The Master can go no wrong… Oscar de la Renta is still one of the biggest fashion designers out there. Zac Posen was on the front row. Eyeing for the top job in the house of de la Renta when the time comes? We are not ready for the master to retire yet.
