From top: Goyard St Lucie, Goyard Saigon in GM and PM.
Hello Purseholic
I am planning to buy a set of Goyard bags for me and my husband, in the same color and personalize both with our initials on them. Both my husband and I are working in creative industry and we both want special pieces for ourselves. I am consdering the Boeing 35 for myself and Ambassade for my husband, both in red canvas but I might have missed out other good designs from Goyard. Since there is limited info on Goyard bags, may i have your suggestion?
Irene, NYC
Hey Irene
If you both plan to use the bags for work then you have made the right choices with Boeing 35 and Ambassade for both you and your hubby. However, if you really want something special, I would recommend going with the Saigon for yourself and St Lucie for your hubby. I think both bags fit your creative nature better. Anyway, with Goyard, you should never stop at one each. You could always buy more later.

How do you make fashion out of antique cars as inspiration? Only Prada knows how and well, if you are getting a little tired over clean and simple fashion from the likes of Celine and Jil Sander, ironically, Prada Spring/Summer 2012 is the perfect anti-thesis for that. Why ironic, you might ask? Simply because Prada was the master of simplicity fashion back in the 1990s but seeing the 1950s inspired collection for the Spring 2012, one could not help but appreciate the duality and element of surprise that is Prada. This is, in my opinion, exactly why Prada remains the ruler of Milan fashion. There are only a handful of other designers in Milan, Paris, NYC and London this season, whose collection is as uplifting as Prada.
As for the bag? the frame bags are surely the order of the season (what else do you expect from the 1950s?). Then again, why settling with its classic Saffiano or Vernice leather re-incarnation that might potentially run you into a “done-it” situation when you can have this exquisitely bejeweled frame bag that is one of a kind (Price is USD3,990)? We need glam back in fashion and people continue dressing up without worrying about whether the clothes can last for more than one season. On that note, I am also happy to report that most of the pieces from Prada this season does it without having to fall into the category called “classic”. Just see for yourself!
