Take a peek at some bags from Céline’s Spring 2017 handbag collection by scrolling down below:
The Hermès Kelly bag was named after the one and only Grace Kelly. Although this particular Hermès design had been around long before it was officially dubbed the Kelly, as it was originally designed in the 1930s by Robert Dumas who was influenced by a purist aesthetic that broke with the decorative style in fashion at the time. The bag did not have an official name until Kelly popularized the bag and ended up lending her moniker to the now iconic bag. In case you’re not familiar with her, Kelly was not only an American actress who starred in popular films such as Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and High Society, but also married Prince Rainier III of the royal family of Monaco consequently earning herself the title of Princess of Monaco.
Kelly helped shed light on the beautiful Kelly bag through her fame. There was a very specific moment in Kelly’s life which is captured in the picture below by the surrounding paparazzi that essentially encouraged Hermès to name the Kelly bag after her. Kelly is said to have fell in love with the design and commissioned Hermès to create half a dozen of the bags in various colors.

In this picture Grace Kelly is seen shielding her pregnant belly from the paparazzi with the Hermès Kelly bag, and she did so for the simple fact that she was not yet ready to reveal her new addition to the family. This photo became so popular that Life Magazine featured it. As you can already imagine this brought a lot of attention to the Hermès brand, pointing the company to ever so rightly name the bag after Kelly.
A piece of history: Another one of Grace Kelly’s many Hermes Kelly bags paired with her gloves.
Today the Kelly bag is considered one of Hermès’ most iconic bags, and we can say with certainty that Princess Grace Kelly’s aura has helped it achieve and maintain such a status.
The designer fashion world is filled with many crazy styles and textures. However some people like to keep it simple focusing their attention on a simple design and leather quality when it comes to a bag. Minimalist bags are all about beautiful materials and are more likely to have carefully attended finishes. These bags are designed with the motto ‘less is more’ in mind. Consequently, minimalist bags never go out of style, since they don’t follow the “it” trend that can quickly get old. Because of this they also tend to often be labelled as classics. We have curated a list of the most beautiful minimalist designer bags out right now below.

Hey guys! Recently, I’ve been reading the emails and comments you have sent. Although I haven’t gotten to read them all, I managed to reply to some of the comments and a few emails.
And I am very happy and a bit surprised to find that my old articles still got so much attention from you guys.
So I am thinking about rewriting some of the old blog posts (between new posts) so as to update new info and hopefully clear up some doubts you’ve been asking.
Today I am gonna start with the Hermes Birkin replica review.
Ok so I really don’t know who hasn’t seen photos of the YSL Cassandre Tassel Chain bag floating around on social media by now, and totally fallen in love with the bag. I personally have had this bag on my mind for about a year and a half but never really got around to taking the initiative to purchase it until the end of this very summer that just slipped by us. I LOVE the va-va-voom style of the bag. I personally think the YSL Cassandre is a bag you carry when you want to stand out, not when you want to blend in. I have seen a couple of people carry the bag in person and it just has this magnetic pull (for me at least) which usually leaves me wanting the bag that second at any cost. As you all read in my previous review about the Chloe Hudson bag.I had a mini haul from Designer Discreet this summer I never got around to properly reviewing for you all, but I finally found some spare time to put it up!
This Yves Saint Laurent bag is a superb replica I mean I could go on talking about it but I really feel like for both the YSL and Chloe bag the photos speak best for themselves. Both bags are basically perfectly crafted and as an experienced replica shopper (I guess I can call myself that … I have been doing this for over 7 years :-P) I really am finding it hard to find any flaws with them. Of course there’s things like date codes, but I’m not trying to resell the bags as originals (which is completely unethical in my opinion) so I could really care less.
A lot of YSL chain bags I see are in a soft calfskin leather but I decided to opt for something a little more glamorous which was the coated leather. I love the coated leather because I find it harder to scratch or dent than smooth calfskin, and we all know that on a night out having to worry about keeping your bag pristine is not ideal. I went for black not surprising to any reader who understand my favorite color palette a.k.a neutrals. Overall I am very pleased with the bag and love the contrast between the black and gold hardware. I’ve posted many photos of the bag to follow which you can take a glimpse at, and let me know what you think in the comments!
