According to the article, the 100,000-square-foot workshop — dubbed the Louis Vuitton Rochambeau Ranch — will be situated on 256 acres located in the small Texan town where 6,300 residents reside. According to a statement from Louis Vuitton, the company is expanding to Texas to “meet the ever-growing demand for Louis Vuitton products in the American market.” The opening of Louis Vuitton Rochambeau Ranch is said to create approximately 1,000 jobs over five years.   To celebrate the opening next week, President Donald Trump and LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault are set to be in attendance, along with more than 150 Louis Vuitton employees and former Texas Governor, Rick Perry.

For the past few years it's been nearly impossible to review a Valentino collection without discussing one iteration or another of the brand's iconic Rockstud bag. However, a year ago Valentino chose to shy away from its beloved Rockstuds and introduced a Rockstud-free handbag for Spring 2019.The VRing bag put a focus on Valentino's brand new V logo, and though this season the Rockstud is indeed back, the focus remains largely on Valentino's bold logo. On the Spring 2020 runway, Valentino has introduced a new bag which showcases a magnified version of the brand's gold V logo. This collection largely focused on this new shape, which was shown in two sizes and appeared in smooth leather as well as novelty versions. This collection...

If the runways of Fashion Week are any indication, the micro-bag trend shows no signs of slowing down, and while Tod's isn't a brand we often cover here on PurseBlog, they're the latest brand to tap into the micro bag trend. Models on the runway at the latest Tod's fashion show in Milan late last week both wore the tiny bag trend on body and clutched a multiple bag version of the micro bag trend. For Spring 2020, it seems, Tods is taking a trendier approach to its accessories collection as the brand's in-house design team tapped into some of the handbag world's biggest and most talked about trends. Though Tod's prides itself on Italian tradition and timeless, clean lines, this collection is...

There’s this idyllic version of the perfect day in my mind, and that day always involves NYC in the fall. The crispness in the air is enough to take away any unwanted smells, the few trees on the streets leading into Central Park have leaves turning various shades of yellow, orange, and red, and the classic New York City buildings – from brownstones to historical landmarks – are found on either side of me as I walk down the street. Scenes from one of my all-time favorite movies, You’ve Got Mail, could easily be seen as part of this perfect day and when I think of what I’d be wearing, my fall outfit always revolves around a fall bag and shoes....

Gucci has returned to Milan Fashion Week for its Spring/Summer 2020 show, unveiling a collection of more stripped-back pieces inspired by resistance and fashion’s place in the world today. A key reference point for the collection was Michel Foucault’s theory of “biopolitics” — described as “the power over life, over bodies. A power that legitimizes only some existences, confining the others inside a regime of containment and/or invisibility” — and the role of resistance against this power.   Alessandro Michele‘s vision of resistance saw fashion as a vehicle of freedom, with the shownotes adding that fashion can  “let people walk through fields of possibilities, giving hints and evoking openness, cultivating promises of beauty, offering testimonies and prophecies, sacralising every form of diversity, feeding indispensable self-determination skills.”...
