Oh Kelly. You might be buff with a hot husband and everything going your way but why would you do that do your Hermes’ Birkin bag and go out without a bra. One should not be looking at anything but your oddly empty fab handbag but apparently, you forgot to put your phone away or put on a bra.

Gwen Stefani looking great in L.A. wearing Christian Louboutin Espadrille Wedges and carrying a fabulous handbag. And not just any handbag this is her own design… the L.A.M.B. Grant Tote.

Remember when Lady Gaga took her sharpie to the white Heremes Clemence Birkin last month???
Well now she is bedazzling and embellishing with painful studs…

This Birkin has been taken over with seemingly sharp studs; the kind of studs that will make you say ouch. And when you inspect the bag closely, they are not perfectly set apart, rather tried to be somewhat in pattern but it is a bit of a free-form design… Loving it

Amanda Seyfried was recently photographed carrying the gorgeous Valentino Fleurs Couture Tote. This bag packs quite a punch but Amanda has paired it perfectly with a neutral colored outfit. She was all smiles and looked fantastic as she headed into LIVE with Regis and Kelly.

With its handbags selling for thousands, Louis Vuitton has built its reputation on the highest quality.
But advertising watchdogs have found the French design house guilty of misleading customers with two advertisements depicting its ‘craftsmen’ – because the bags are not actually made by hand.

Despite ads showing a ’seamstress with linen thread’ and boasting of ‘infinite patience’, bags bearing the trademark pattern of an interwoven ‘L’ and ‘V’ are predominantly created by machine.

Britain’s Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) has banned two Louis Vuitton ads for misleading customers, the Daily Mail reports.

One of the ads depicts a seamstress sewing together a handbag with text that reads, “The seamstress with linen thread and beeswax. A needle, linen thread, beeswax and infinite patience protect each over-stitch from humidity and the passage of time. One could say that a Louis Vuitton bag is a collection of details. But with so much attention lavished on every one, should we only call them details?” The other ad shows a seamstress making a wallet.

The problem–at least for complaining clients–is that Louis Vuitton’s luxury goods are made by machine. Louis Vuitton confessed that sewing machines are used in the process but that the “production of the bags was ‘not automated’ and that there were over 100 stages in the making of each bag,” according to the Daily Mail.

However, that’s not enough to sway the ASA, which maintains the ads are deceptive.

After 7 years, Jean Paul Gaultier is stepping down from his artistic director position at Hermes.

Hermes praised JPG for his work upon the announcement, saying they are “deeply grateful to Jean-Paul Gaultier for his outstanding creative contribution.”

With Gaultier now out, Lacoste creative director Christian Lemaire is set to take over.

Oh boy does Ashley have friends in high places. Here she is on May 21st looking all too pleased to be followed, Ashley is out and about with her little dog and her Monogram Embossed Stephen which was an extremely Limited bag. It was creme, brown and gray from Fall/Winter 2006 and according to the folks at LV, as soon it was launched, it sold out. No where to be found now, Ashley  is a girl after our own heart, a bag person with a collection that is the only thing that makes us envious of her.

It’s not that I don’t believe that Hermes would sell one to Courtney – after all, they’ve apparently sold several to Heidi Montag. I just didn’t take the punk-rock former stripper as the type to buy one, even in her ultra glam The People vs. Larry Flynt days. But hey, rock on, Courtney – you’ve always done whatever you felt like anyway, no reason to change that now.
