It’s finally time for some international love from NET-A-PORTER, and for you Snobs who have been waiting patiently, trust me – it’s all been worth it!

Proenza Schouler PS11 Mini Oil Slick Lea Bag: Black Gold
Proenza Schouler has struck oil yet again! I was just talking about how Jack and Lazaro always know how to keep things fresh, and here we are already with another covetable PS11 (and it’s a mini – my favorite!!). Patent leather gets an extra dose of shine thanks to this oil slick sheen. It’s reminiscent [...]Show More Summary

Kerry Washington: Cool as a Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile
Kerry Washington looked cool as a cucumber as she posed on the red carpet for the Sundance Institute Benefit Honoring Roger Ebert and Ryan Coogler in Los Angeles.

Valentino Rockstud Clutch: Party Like a Punk
Tina and I are capping off a fun week in Florence (and Tuscany for me!) with our Punk Chic party at the Firenze4Ever event tonight! This Valentino Rockstud clutch is just perfect for the theme. While the bag would be fabulous on its own, the studded bangle (a chic interpretation of the punk studded leather [...]Show More Summary
Saint Laurent Cassandre Small Suede Shoulder Bag: Initial Reaction
What’s in a name? According Hedi Slimane, apparently not much! We all know he caused a major commotion for the epic design house of Yves Saint Laurent when he took over and changed the name to Saint Laurent Paris. But Yves will always have his stamp on his brand – and on his brand’s logo. [...]Show More Summary
Frugal Friday: Laurence Heller Embroidered Straw Clutches
Laurence Heller was the fashion editor of French Elle for 17 years before going into design himself, so he certainly has an eye for style and the kindness to make it available at a reasonable price. I think these are the least expensive bags I’ve ever featured, and god knows they’re not the worst. The [...]Show More Summary

Nancy Gonzalez has generously donated her iconic Cristina bag in metallic crocodile (in the large version which has a $4,510 value) to a live auction for Many Hopes. The Cristina was created after Nancy’s daughter, Cristina, requested a bag that would suit the life of a mom/businesswoman. Done! With endless ways to carry it and even [...]Show More Summary
Balmain Pre-Fall 2013 Clutches: Say Yes to Excess
Always count on Balmain to stay true to their more-is-more sense of style, even when other big names are stripping down and going minimal. Their Pre-Fall ’13 clutches exude old-world glam fit for Marie Antoinette…if she ran off and became a superstar Vegas showgirl. These are all so fantastical, I can’t decide which I like [...]Show More Summary
Flight 001 Travel Essentials: Pack Mentality
I just landed in Florence, so my mind is focused on all things travel! It’s hard to pare down your suitcase (I have three with me and had a nightmare the night before flying that Kelly and Rich left me on the curb with it all ‘cuz it wouldn’t fit in our car!) – I’d [...] The post Flight 001 Travel Essentials: Pack Mentality appeared first on Bag Snob.
Barneys New York Markdowns: Up to 60% Off!
Some bags are such great indulgences that it can be difficult to take the plunge. Fortunately, Barneys’ new markdowns are there to give us that extra boost of assurance. I stand by my statement that you won’t be able to carry much of anything in Givenchy’s purple minaudière ($2,799), but it would be your lucky [...]Show More Summary
Top Refreshed Favorites: What’s Old is New Again
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?! It’s time to pay some homage to our contemporary classics. The It-bags on the decade have proven they have genuine staying power. Think about it: anyone who thought the PS11 was a one-season wonder was dead-wrong. It has now become more popular than the original [...]Show More Summary
Jill Haber Fall 2013 Collection: A Great Frame of Mind
Meet Jill Haber, the best new brand to launch in a very long time.

The Row Resort 2014 Collection: Clean Up Your Act
A collection inspired by uniforms – from those worn by buttoned-up schoolchildren to sea-faring sailors, from pinafore-style maxi dresses to nubby fisherman’s sweaters – paved the way for an impressive bag collection from The Row for Resort 2014. There’s no fuss or anything superfluous here; just solid design that takes a cue from other solid [...]Show More Summary
Top 5 Beach-Printed Bags: Catch Some Waves
The best way to prepare for a fun vacation is by packing fun accessories like these tropically inspired canvas bags. If you can’t go kitsch at the beach, where can you? My favorites are pouches – pack your toiletries in them, then once you’ve landed in paradise and unpacked, you can tote them around the [...]Show More Summary
Giuseppe Zanotti Jeweled Nappa Leather Clutch: Hot and Heavy?
I know I’ve been harsh on Giuseppe Zanotti bags (while I do love the shoes!), but can you blame me? I have nothing against studs and spikes – on the contrary – but they’ve got to be well-executed to work. The latest, a pair of clutches adorned with a big band of studded hardware, is [...]Show More Summary
Isabel Marant pour H&M: The French Revolution
This fall Isabel Marant will bring her signature Parisian cool to collaborator-friendly H&M. The list of designers who’ve worked with the Swedish retailer is beyond impressive (Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, etc.), but I’m not sure I’ve been as excited for any as I am for Isabel! Her boho chic clothes and accessories will be available [...]Show More Summary
