Linda’s Got a Brand New Bag

January 10, 2009 by WendyB

Elle.com reports that architect-artist dude Ron Arad and Notify artistic director Maurice Ohayon joined together to create a space-age handbag for my favorite model, LindaE. Embed from Getty Images The bag doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the “four-hand” factoid from the story: “What happens when supermodel Linda Evangelista—who at her height in the…

Watching the Sales

The Margiela wolf bag I’ve had my eye on is marked down to $719 from $1,195 on eLuxury. But that’s not quite far enough to make me buy it.

Sprouse Is Back, Back Again

December 1, 2008 by WendyB

Old Purse, New Tricks

October 13, 2008 by WendyB

I was practically married to my Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore Speedy handbag back in 2003. I carried it every day. It’s been sitting on a closet shelf for a couple of years, but a few weeks ago I decided it deserved to come out. (Thanks to MrB for fixing the zipper.) Here’s the bag with…

This Has Grrrrr-own on Me

September 8, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve gone from being amused by this kitschy Maison Martin Margiela bag to craving it.
