Edie Parker Bespoke Flavia Clutch: Say My Name
The bespoke Flavia minaudière by Edie Parker is for the snob who really has every bag.

When your collection starts to feel complete, it’s nice to enhance it with a few personalized pieces…
Myriam Schaefer Small Flag Bag: Pledge of Allegiance
At first glance, I thought this was a Givenchy, but I soon saw that the handles are attached with arrowhead accents rather than with bar hardware.

The Curious Case of the “Python” Birkin
I have been an avid Hermes bag collector for almost 13 years and continually educate myself on the skins, the styles and colors each season. I was always told that Hermes stays away from python skin (not snob worthy enough for bags, but Hermes is making python shoes next season!) so imagine my surprise when I came upon this photo of Karina Smirnoff with a python Birkin!!!
