Silent scream after you see a bag at Chanel that you quite liked because of the color and the east-west oriented top handle iteration of your favorite old classic (it's giving Hermes Kelly Cut, Chanel version lol)... but then you immediately slap yourself because knowing what you know now about leathers and craftsmanship, there's noooo way you'd wanna spend €6,400 of your hard-earned money on a poor quality (unfortunately) miroir vernis (patent) leather bag that just happens to have the CC logo twistlock on it 🤣

If you're going to spend €6,400, you deserve to receive an exceptional bag made with only premium quality materials, and not something made of low-grade leather that has been heavily coated and 2025-09-23 03:02:21 .. 57 -84% 8 -70%

#VOGUEHongKong: By now, many of you know that I've been on this mission to discover independent bag brands that highlight artistry and craftsmanship over hype and logos ❤️ 

This time, I took that discovery further in my latest story for voguehongkong, as I've been determined to find truly exceptional artisans and ateliers whose work prove that real luxury is crafted slowly, and is made to last ❤️😍

Read all about the five artisan-led ateliers who made my list ❤️ Clickable link of my story is now up on my Profile/Bio 🙏🏻 Enjoy the read, and if you have some more thoughts to share about this topic, please do share -- I'm all ears! 🤩

NEW BAG RECOMMENDATION: Soooo sorry, I didn't realize the past reel was cut short (again don't ask me what happened or how -- I really have rotten luck with reels 😭). 

Anyway, this is the FULL reel of the bonastreparis Rider bag, including modshots!🙏🏻

I had been eyeing this bag for quite some time, before I finally went over to the store to try it in person. When I finally touched and tried it on up close, I instantly fell in love with it! The Rider is incredibly versatile and is a great gender-neutral bag. *it comes in different colors & sizes too*

I had been using this bag everyday in Paris since I bought it last April and it reminded me of a thinner Hermes Lindy (a better and more affordable alternative 😄) I have zero complaints -- bag is light, easy to use, and can be carried so many ways!

I hope you find this video helpful! 🙏🏻🩵

If your taste in designer bags has evolved from bold logos to discreet, under-the-radar luxury, Joseph Duclos is an independent brand worth knowing, coveted primarily by true high-luxury connoisseurs. And if you're ready to elevate your collection beyond classic calfskin bags, I highly recommend exploring lizard skin exotics. It’s a distinctive step up!

At the recently concluded couture week in Paris, josephduclos unveiled some stunning exotic versions of the signature Diane bag, designed by rameshnair_ 😍 Among them were these two lizard skin Dianes with an ombré finish that stood out -- their color gradation was so unique (have yet to see anything like it elsewhere), making both pieces look absolutely phenomenal!

Lizard skin bags are still more accessible price-wise than alligator or crocodile, but they remain very rare, mainly due to the challenge of sourcing high-quality skins. That said, lizard remains my personal favorite among exotic leathers, thanks to its refined texture and striking visual appeal. 

At Joseph Duclos, you won’t find lizard-skin Diane bags listed on their website, partly because they often sell out almost immediately upon arriving in-store. I know this firsthand -- barely a day after I saw a beautiful matcha green lizard Diane, it was gone. 😭 It remains my ultimate “one that got away 2025-07-28 15:43:51 If .. 133 -62% 7 -73%
The ORIGINAL Hermes birkin owned by British actress Jane Birkin, was purchased on auction some 25 years ago by a Parisian bag reseller for less than €250,000. She kept the bag for over 2 decades and even loaned it to the V&A Museum in London for an exhibition not too long ago. Today, Sotheby's sold it for €7M (over €8.5M incl buyer's premium)! The reseller walked away with nearly 2,700% in profit -- proving at least to her, that bags are a good investment after all 😁

The Lindy is one of the most functional and original bag styles of Hermes today. It doesn't have the same level of recognizability as the Birkin or the Kelly, but it certainly holds its own and has a solid following. When the bag launched in 2007 (the first color released was rose dragée and in swift leather), it became an instant hit. Smaller sizes like the mini and the 26cm were later introduced due to the bag's continued popularity. 18 years later, the Lindy still remains one of the most sought-after bag styles at Hermes 🧡

For all the Hermes bag-loving girlies out here, this is THE official Hermes website to check out because it is incredibly well-stocked! Prices are not far from the US site (with state taxes applied), but the good news is, you can get the Hermes bag you want (except the B, K, C), directly from Hermes! There's a catch though, but once you get past that catch, it's all systems go 🚀 Thank me later (and share your bag purchase success with me too please) 😁

I used to really love Goyard bags over 20 years ago. I would save money to get them in different colors and styles, and even had a few bags customized with my initials.

Addressing the allegation that Hermes makes their bags in China in this last segment of my 3-part Reels video.  This is a flat-out LIE, and that part of the viral video was really meant to mislead people. And sadly so many believed it because let's be honest, it's a good excuse to justify and validate buying fakes without feeling guilty (and for lower prices) 💀 But that piece of information shared was really meant to misinform, and was just a ploy to convince customers to buy their counterfeit Hermes bags ✌🏻 

The reality is, as of my post today, Hermes is the only remaining widely-known luxury maison that 100% manufactures their bags (especially the Birkin, Kelly, Constance) in France. There are other smaller, independent brands that do (Joseph Duclos is an independent luxury brand that also manufacures all their bags 100% in France).

On this reels segment, I discussed the subject of popular, well-loved French brands like Dior who (up until they were caught) had been sneakily subcontracting some of their bag manufacturing in Italy to Chinese-owned factories that underpay their migrant workers (and have poor, unsafe working conditions). Again, all unbeknownst to us consumers 💀 Dior apparently paid these Italy-based Chinese factories only $57/bag while charging us consumers over $3500+. While there shouldn't have been shame about bags that are Made in Italy by Chinese workers (because it should really just boil down to the technical skillsets of workers regardless of race/skin color), brands like Dior feel this information will tarnish their reputation as a 2025-05-01 13:44:17 On this reels segment,.. 353 +1% 12 -54%
Finally sharing my thoughts on the viral Chinese manufacturing video about designer brands. Have we luxury consumers been deceived all along? I believe so. For sure, the manufacturing value chain of many of our favorite designer brands has not been made transparent to us consumers... anyway, I am posting my Tiktok video which I'm segmenting into a few parts because Reels can't seem to share the full length version in one go 😬  Thanks for your patience coz I'm not great with video editing 😬✌🏻

Whenever I get asked by peeps about what bags to buy in Paris as a remembrance of their trip, I make sure to recommend a 100% Paris-grown brand like larfeuille_paris. They've been hand-making vegetable-tanned leather goods at their boutique-atelier in the Marais for 5 years now. I especially love the paperbag-looking totes and clutch bags. The pieces I had purchased from them have developed beautiful, rich patina from my frequent use and over time ❤️ So if you plan on visiting Paris, make sure to stop by Larfeuille 😍

The sun's out, bright colors are in fashion, and Spring is here ❤️😍 Brought out one of my all-time favorite Spring-Summer bags to play again! I've recommended mlouye bags for years now (great quality, great styles, and the color combinations are out of this world 😍), and it has been really hard to just pick one bag out of their lineup, but I have to say the Sera Tote (shown here is the Oceania color) gets the most use out of all my Mlouye bags. It's a versatile hand-held piece that also comes with a detachable long strap (crossbody/shoulder carry). The drawstring closure provides ample security too. And it's really just a fun piece that also adds great character and that needed pop of color to classic outfits.

You can't go to Spain and not visit a Zara store ❤️ Zara continues to appeal to a huge demographic of customers because they understand that customers like us love fashion but are price-conscious especially with this weak economy. We always love a good deal or two -- who doesn't?! 🤩

Zara's suede bags are made from natural cowhide, though they are made from the split leather (not good quality) but for a little over €100, it's definitely acceptable *some luxury brands use 2025-03-06 21:11:11 .. 183 -48% 11 -58%

Womenswear fashion season is coming up soon! And because I've also been Spring cleaning (sadly had to throw away about 5 years' worth of fashion week show invites due to molds), decided to revisit some of my old fashion week photos from 2010 onwards. Back then, no hair & makeup team, no stylist, no assistant, no producer😁 We worked lean & mean 👊🏻 I only had my video director (and best friend) sandor_simon who filmed me for my Fox News Channel - Star World TV show. Honestly, I don't know how we managed with just us 2 working throughout the fashion season, with anywhere between 5-7 shows/appointments (sometimes more) a day, but we powered through with 6-8 cups of espresso daily (Bulgari Hotel, thank you 🤣) ☕️ In the latter years though, I'd fall really ill towards the end of each season and wouldn't recover til at least a month later 😣 Still, we managed 10+ years of fashion week attendance in Milan and Paris 😱 That was an incredible 2025-01-30 20:39:51 .. 156 -55% 15 -43%
#TheBagHagReview: My first Bag Review of the year is for this Marc Jacobs Mini Dual Bag! Watch to find out why it caught my eye ❤️

On another note, I hope to do more of these video reviews this year and will definitely include bags with different price points. I am not a premium designer bag snob, so expect to see reviews featuring bags with very affordable prices from indie brands and even commercially renowned ones, vintage pieces, as well as bags with uber luxe quality from premium luxe brands you already know or from indie ones you have yet to know and discover 😁 (I admit, introducing new bag discoveries to you excites me the most) 

My goal remains the same: I want to continue helping our bag-loving community choose the right bag within their budget, while at the same time educating everyone on quality, craftsmanship, and proper design (the end goal of course is when the time comes and you can afford an uber luxe piece, you will know which one to buy and yes, on which to 2025-01-18 14:14:10 #TheBagH.. 500 +43% 13 -50%

One of the most important bag care discoveries I made -- leather bags age really sooo much better in dry climates (Europe and US) vs. humid conditions (Southeast Asia especially). Leather bags tend to be more high maintenance in humid climates -- they require more care (airing out and dry wipe-downs at least once a month at the bare mininum) to prevent molds, discolorations, and the dreaded sticky edge paints. 

That said, this Marc Jacobs Blake bag is from 2009 and celebrates its 15th year of existence in 2024! It's also a sign to enjoy the bag again after years of it 2024-12-24 11:51:36 One o.. 314 -10% 25 -5%
