Vintage Hermes Crocodile Piano Handbag for Drooling Pleasure: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

What a long day. I actually have bag overload. I spent all day reviewing work bags for a story I'm doing called "New Year, New You, New Work Bag." It's for a MAJOR (let's image Victoria Beckham said "major"), yes major media outlet. I'll reveal it next week once all paperwork is done. I'm very excited about this addition to my career. So I've been reviewing bags from Payless to Prada and my eyes are killing me. Many of these bags I've seen in person and some I'll still have to call in. But I just like seeing how all the images look next to one another as I narrow down my list. I can do this process for hours because I want to make sure I give readers options. Like with me, I don't care if a satchel comes with a detachable shoulder strap, but as I mentioned earlier today I'm not the mom with the files and the kids and the groceries in her arms.

After a day of bags there really is no better way to unwind then ... drool over a new bag. I know, i know. I'm hopeless. Right now, I'm drooling over the Hermes Vintage Crocodile Piano Handbag available at Bag Borrow or Steal. It's so me. Petite, refined, classic. Oh what I wouldn't give to have it right now? The brown crocodile color is perfection and the inner compartments perfect for the necessities of modern life on-the-go. Naturally, this isn't an everyday option - at least not for most working girls. But, on a casual day when I have few appointments and not much to carry ... oh to dream. Well, at least I can borrow it for fashion week. Don't be surprised if I'm raving about this stunner in 2 weeks. Um I wonder what I will wear this with? Oh and how fabulous will it be to faux own this bag? If I go completely mad or fall in love I may need to take advantage of the "steal" option of Bag Borrow or Steal.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Handbag-a-day, Life Really is Bag-a-licious: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

For New Years, my lovely bf gave me the Handbags Page-a-Day desk calendar. Don’t you just love when they get the simple gifts right? What better way to start the day than viewing bags? I love that there seems to be a fair mix of 1990’s it bags, vintage, historic bags dating back to the 17th century, crafty concoctions – not really my cup of tea, but still fun to look at – and a few 21st century creations. The vintage looks from the 30’s through the 50’s are really neat. I love all the dainty structured satchels and purses. The whole lady-like vibe is very much my personal aesthetic. I guess that’s why I’m drawn to designers like Tracey Reese and Nanette Leapore and handbag designers like Lulu Guinness, Anya Hindmarch and Mary Norton. Just looking at this one white Scotti-frame crocheted purse (circa 1940s) I know I've found my dream resort bag. Now it only I could find it? Huumm maybe I'll check out some consignment shops in the city when I get back from vacation? The scanner is on the skids, but once it gets going I’ll show you some of the great finds I'm currently salivating over.

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Bag and Borrow Hermes Handags: BAGTRENDS

Dear Bagistas,

If you're a fan of luxury handbags, but your wallet hasn't caught up to your taste you'll love the new "Vintage Collection" at Bag Borrow or Steal.

The "Vintage Collection" is a compilation of the most coveted designer handbags in the world from iconic designers, including Chanel, Gucci, and Hérmes. The collection is the first of its kind available for borrowing and includes some of the most sought-after handbags in the world, such as the Hérmes Birkin and Kelly. Each piece is individually priced with a monthly rental range from $100 - $4,800. Weekly rental are available, starting for as low as $40!

I love that Bag Borrow or Steal has teamed up with Clair Watson, couture consultant for Doyle New York auction house. Watson is BBorS new vintage curator responsible for assembling the collection.

"As a result of the rising popularity of vintage accessories, their price tags are soaring, nearly doubling what they were 10 years ago," said Watson. "Vintage fashion makes a distinctive style statement in a fashion landscape where it is increasingly difficult to stand out. The designer handbags in the Vintage Collection give women the means to enhance their personal style and express their individuality."

What do you think about borrowing bags? Ya or nah? Let me know.

Have a bag-a-licious day!
