I’m a big fan of Balenciaga bags

I’m a big fan of Balenciaga bags. Their motorcycle bags are the epitome of urban chic, which is one of the reasons why celebs and fashionistas go gaga over them. This Balenciaga replica Louis Vuitton Wallets tote however, got me disappointed. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my bag’s hardware to be in gorgeous gold.

Although the padlock detail has proven to be a big thing in the world of designer handbags, this Balenciaga Padlock Tote falls short of my expectations, and maybe yours too.

See, they have replaced the usual hardware (gold, platinum, silver) to a bright red enamel, which creates an obvious contrast to the solid color of the bag. Although a few, bolder women may find this combination appealing, I honestly think it is a bit tacky. The structure of the bag itself can be considered classic, but the color-pop detail and the rounded strap below the handles are too much for me. And with an expensive price tag of $2,000, I doubt that this one would have a huge following.

A couple of months ago, Coach was looking for a new face for their Hermes Belts Replica brand. Soon after, it was confirmed that their new global brand ambassador would be A-list Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A great choice, I must say.

The brand is celebrating their 70th anniversary, and creative director Reed Krakoff deemed Gwyneth to be “a natural choice” for the ad campaign. This fresh-faced blonde beauty apparently reflects the urban American look the brand wanted to depict for their foreign consumers.

Peter Lindbergh choose a rooftop in Manhattan for the shoot. The ad campaign will be used in international magazines this fall, mostly for the Asian and European market.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s high-end fashion line The Row was recently debuted at Barneys New York. The twins looked beautiful and more tan than usual. Both were also pretty proud of their new handbag collection.

The nine-piece collection was more than promising. This was genius. As long as you can afford the super expensive bags, you are well on your way to becoming the next trendsetter in your social circle. The price range of these luxe purses start at around $2,500 and racks up to a whopping $39,000.

The bags epitomize ultimate luxury, showcasing a timeless, structured look in each piece. After all the monogramming and heavy logo details in most designer bags, this collection was truly a breath of fresh air. Of course, these two fashion moguls had to make sure we bagaholics get our dose of exotics. There are renditions with some croc, lizard, alligator and ostrich skins. With a modern-day sensibility, a vintage air and a super expensive price tag, this collection has quickly ranked top one in my bucket list.
