Chanel Bags Are Super Valuable—Why Experts Think Now Is the Time to Buy One

Of course, most would probably say they’d like to buy the classic Chanel 2.55 flap bag. The iconic piece was first created by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel herself when she got fed up of carrying her bag in her arms. To free herself up, she decided to borrow the idea of having straps, which she’d seen on a soldier’s bag. As per everything else Chanel created, it was a revolutionary take on the item, as up until that point, women carried their handbags. The 2.55 bag was launched in 1955, hence the name. However, it wasn’t until the ’80s, when Karl Lagerfeld took the helm, that the double-C locks were introduced. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

This Sell-Out Designer Bag Has Just Been Upgraded (and Restocked) for Summer

Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. First, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, the original Woody‘s body was constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust- or black-coloured leather, which flank the now instantly recognisable logo-emblazoned canvas handles. Not only does this make the bag practical, but also, you’ll be pleased to know, it keeps it on the more affordable end of the designer scale, with most styles coming in under £1000.  Chloé’s slip-on Woody sandals were (and continue to be) a summer sell-out before the bag even landed, so it’s no surprise that the original tote flew off the shelves when it eventually did launch at the beginning of last year. Since then, the design ...

The Loewe Basket Bag Is Looking Better Than Ever

Raffia tote bags have been a hallmark of the quintessential summer wardrobe for decades. From Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, over the years, many stylish women have chosen the item for beach days, park picnics and beyond.  The carryall has typically held an under-the-radar, effortless kind of appeal, but last year, raffia tote bags became quite the It item thanks to Spanish luxury brand Loewe. Featuring an adjustable leather handle and the brand’s instantly recognisable insignia, Loewe’s raffia totes bags became somewhat ubiquitous amongst the fashion set. From Camille Charriere to Pernille Teisbaek, the item (which is available in various colours and sizes) graced our Instagram feeds more times than we could count ove...

4 Viral Designer Pieces I Tried That Are Actually Worth the Investment

Iconic bags from Hermès, including the Birkin and Kelly, are in bigger demand than ever, but the brand’s viral fashion pieces don’t end there. Footwear from the French fashion house has been flying off the shelves as well. Styles including the Chypre sandals, Oran flats, and Calya clogs have been selling out everywhere, but there are more to know about. Its Enid sandals are the shoes to have on your radar. Making their debut on the S/S 22 runway, the Enid sandals instantly drove conversations. Finished with a flatform sole, an iconic H Diamant buckle, and Velcro straps, they tap into the sport-sandal styles that have been hugely popular among the fashion set. Here, I styled them with a minidress, and as we head into summer, I would wear them with e...

I’m Introduced to 1000s of New Brands Every Month, But These Stand Out

I’m sure that at many jobs, an influx of approximately 500 emails per day is totally normal. I rarely feel confident enough to bulk-delete without regret because there are always endless messages I need to check in on in order to stay ahead of trends, launches and cool brands. I’m contacted by countless designers, brand founders, PR firms and marketing execs on a daily basis, and I try my best to support brands that show a point of difference, create beautiful products and have interesting stories. Not every label makes the cut, and the task of editing down what I deem worthy of your attention can be a brutal one. In this new monthly gallery, I’ll be highlighting the best independent brands. They aren’t all necessarily brand new, but they are small-scale enough that...

The Under-£500 Gucci Buys We Can’t Stop Thinking About

Of course, dresses from the runway or a new-season Gucci bag will set you back thousands of pounds, but there are some more reasonably priced pieces you can invest in. The label is particularly good at creating It accessories that are instantly recognisable. Let’s take the Gucci belt, for example. Most people will be able to spot one from a mile off. And then there are the supersized shades adorned with the double G that, frankly, cannot be missed. And don’t even get us started on Gucci loafers. The fact is, a lot of these investment accessories are in the hundreds rather than thousands, so we’ve decided to find all the best under-£500 items that’ll instantly make any outfit look more expensive. There are even T-shirts, swimsuits, jeans and bags (pre-loved) you can shop fo...

32 Classic Items Our Editors Will Always Think Are the Best of the Best

Once, the role of a fashion editor was writing about new trends and what is coming next. However, we think that just as much (if not more) focus should be given to classic items. So how do we decide what makes it into our everlasting line-up? These could be from the high street or the most exclusive luxury fashion houses, but all have to fit within some criteria. One, they are of exceptional quality. Two, they are timeless and will be a worthwhile addition to any wardrobe. Three, all of our editors agree they are the best of the best. We have written about some truly special investment pieces, such as Chanel pumps, Max Mara coats and Cartier watches worn by royalty, diving into the history of the items, the icons who have worn them and how you can buy them today. But we also were...
