Sorry for the late post all, I am exhausted lately. Trying to balance career and home life is getting the best of me and I’ve decided to cut back for the next few months and will not be hosting any more events in order to focus on enjoying the holidays and new year with my family (big thanks to all who came to Neiman Marcus yesterday!). But don’t worry, the blogging will continue as usual! Now on to today’s arm candy– the highly anticipated Proenza Schouler bags (named PS1) are live at Barneys New York! The duo behind the uber cool line of ready to wear rarely disappoint and I know their following of urbanistas will be all over these gender bending bags as well. I am usually not a fan of utilitarian styled bags but these feel right to me. The straps are obviously going to be left open as I hate having to open and close any straps on my bags– I need instant and easy access– but that will just give it further effortless appeal. The python pouchettes are perfect for both jeans or fancy gown, I actually like to downplay a black tie dress with an edgy bag– it just keeps things more interesting. As for the messenger bags, our man snobs will be able to carry them as well! It’s all about unisex versatility right now, a couple on a limited bag budget can buy one of these PS1 bags and share it. The leather is soft and slouchy and that python is divine, go to Barneys to see for youself! Prices range from $895 – $4,250.
Check out the entire PS1 collection here.
Both python clutches look fine to me. The rest of the collection is not making me jump.The white one would be my pick, despite the fact that it is likely to show marks of dirt and use. The texture of the python is cool.
I think this very well could be the new “it” bag. I love it. I personally would take the handles off and use it as an oversized clutch. I think the python in black speaks to me. My one critique is that it reminds me of the Balenciaga “lariat” but other than that love it. Would you agree Tina? Are you going to purchase one?
You know, I like the line but I am not in the mood to purchase bags lately.
I do love the white python clutch, it’s very winter chic…
Love the clutches and they are priced well at 895.
But I really want a Grey bag lately. I wish they had one. Maybe then I would go for it.
not in the mood to buy bags, tina? *gasp* :p
i like all of these actually! i’ve really been feeling more masculine (at least unisex) bags lately. it’s not like clothing where it will give you an unflattering figure, so why not? i’ve always loved the nonchalant “yes i just stole this from my boyfriend” look.
The clutch bags are beautiful and I would absolutely consider buying one if it weren’t for my daughter making me feel guilty because an animal lost it’s life to make the bag. sigh….
