Pretends The LV Handbags Are Doesn’t Exist Entirely

The bag collection is themed around spring wanderlust, and the bags themselves (an ever-growing part of Diane’s brand) are a study in how just the right note of color can transform a look. Most of the bags are rendered in combinations of ivory, grey, black and gold, but throughout, you’ll find notes of coral that make these easy-to-wear neutrals perfect for spring. If you’re more the type of woman who wants her entire bag to be the bright accent, well, DVF’s got a few options for you as well. Take a look at our picks from the collection below.The influence of the Asian market on luxury fashion gets stronger seemingly every day. Yesterday, news broke that Hermes’ quarterly profits leapt nearly 25% based on the strength of leather goods sales in Asia – no small feat on top of the handbag giant’s already-soaring financials. Today, we’re pleased to Louis Vuitton Handbags UKannounce that Net-a-Porter, one of our favorite online department stores, has launched a new homepage servicing the Asian Pacific market and Chinese-language customers. Previously, Net-a-Porter’s international site had serviced parts of Asia, but the new site expands that coverage and offers several new benefits to Asian customers.The new site is available through Net-a-Porter.com and will geo-target automatically for customers located within the countries it services. Alternately, both location and language preferences are manually customizable for all customers, regardless of physical location, and Mandarin Chinese has been added to the site’s language options. The Asia Pacific site also features pricing specific to the market and a product selection almost identical to that of the North American site. According to a Net-a-Porter spokesperson, the site’s launch means that customers in the Asia Pacific market will enjoy faster, lower-cost delivery than they had experienced in the past, as well as the addition of a customer care team in their time zone.With what often feels like exponential growth in the Asian market, the future of the luxury industry will likely be won, at least in part, by the businesses who are able to find ways to best serve Asian customers, who are generally a world away from and speaking a different language than a brand’s headquarters and corporate staff. With this local site launch, seems as though it intends to be one of those companies.

Here’s yet another high profile celeb, swapping out her standard Hermes Birkin for a Celine bag. (The Celine Phantom Luggage Tote, to be exact.) Heiress Tamara Ecclestone looked dressed for a gym for bikers when she was spotted with her Celine in Beverly Hills. We’ve dished on the Ecclestone sisters and their unrivaled Hermes Birkin collection before (both sisters can lay claim to about a dozen different Birkins apiece), but Celines are the only daytime Birkin alternative we’ve ever seen either of them carry. As you might suspect, this isn’t Tamara’s only Luggage Tote, either.Celine bags are only available in high-end department stores and Celine boutiques – how could Celine maintain that air of exclusivity otherwise? We’ve kvetched about this at length before; Celine fans who aren’t A-list actresses or billionaires, feel freeHermes Canada Sale to air your grievances here.When I first heard Alice and Olivia would be debuting bags, I jumped for joy a little bit. As a long time fan of the brand and a long time fan of Stacey Bendet on Instagram (follow her, she loves rainbows and yoga and is hilarious!), I knew this foray into the handbag world would be a fun one. When peeks of what was to come were leaked on Stacey’s Instagram account, it became clear that we would be seeing everyday bags in an interesting way, with rainbow-embossed snakeskin and black-and-white leather playing a key role.Seeing the bags in person is always the best option, so Vlad and I took a trip to the magical wonderland of the Alice + Olivia store; there, we were transported into a world of rainbows, butterflies, tea parties, staircases to nowhere and a wall of chic new handbags. The most notable bag of the bunch is the Olivia Bag, which is a classic shoulder tote with double top handles and an optional shoulder strap. The Olivia is given every bit of spunk possible with a multitude of finishes and colors, which help the bag stand out from others of a similar shape. A cute everyday crossbody, the Clee, joins a few clutches (my favorite being the multi-color sequin Me Clutch) and a couple totes.

Alice + Olivia is just getting started with handbags, and the best way to do that is to make a good bag that you can become known for and go from there. With all the buzz Alice + Olivia receives and the playful nature of these bags, I truly look forward of what’s to come in the future.For some reason, celebrities seem to love basketball above and beyond other sports. I have a theory on why that might be: Not only is the sport quite popular in both New York and Los Angeles, but the indoor, controlled environment in which the game is played allows celebs to dress up and look good because they know they’ll be photographed. That seems to be especially true of female basketball fans;Cheap Louis Vuitton Handbags we’ve noticed that everyone from Cameron Diaz to Kim Kardashian shows up at basketball games dressed to the nines, and more importantly, carrying great bags.We’ve looked through the courtside seats of some of the country’s biggest NBA teams to find all the amazing handbags that celebs have toted to basketball games, and today, with the start of college basketball’s March Madness and the NBA playoffs on the horizon, seemed like an appropriate time to share our findings. Even if you don’t like the game, it might be worth it to get some Knicks or Lakers tickets just to bag-watch.We’ve long been fans of British designer Matthew Williamson’s highly detailed haute-boho clutches and evening bags, so we couldn’t be happier to hear Vogue UK’s report that Williamson plans to expand into a full-fledged handbag line. That Williamson is ready and rarin’ to go with ten promo shots of the line’s five different designs only makes the whole proposition sweeter. Launching a line into a crowded accessories market can be a minefield, but what we have here is a promising start.
