Once in a while there is a piece that makes me think, “that’s going to be mine”. No ifs, ands or buts. Last year, Karl Lagerfeld came out with the Ultimate Icon collection, in honour of the Met’s 2023 Costume Institute Exhibition (Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty), and the iconic fan that Karl always carried around took centre stage in the accessories collection. There were a lot of great items (belts, boots, wallets) but this bag was what stole my heart.
And it was going to be mine.
I’ve always wanted a Zac Posen bag and last year I clearly was crossing off a lot of my shopping wishlist items.
Furla is an underrated brand. They are priced at that mid tier level between high street fashion and designer (I think we are calling them “contemporary” brands now?) so they are relatively affordable but don’t really skimp on quality and retain that luxury feel. There needs to be more reviews on Furla bags, so let me start with Portagioia.
It’s funny that bag reviews, although not the core of what this blog is about, keep getting me consistent views. I guess it makes sense, designer bags are an investment. Would it be so that I would have all the money in the world, I would get and review them all. You know, for the sake of the community. For today, I have the Moschino orange and blue polka dot M Bag.
Physical catalogs were basically eradicated with the rise of websites, stores are betting on e-commerce, and the concept of celebrities is changing with new forms of social media. The internet is the new electricity. It’s about time that fashion gets inspired by the digital world. Enter Coperni.
