Hot or Not: Anya Hindmarch “Ebury” Sticker Tote


It looks like personalized designer handbags will be stealing the spotlight in the next seasons. We have seen celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kelly Osbourne go to great lengths to customize their luxurious purses, and now designers are taking this trend to mainstream consumers.



Anya Hindmarch displayed her quirky sense of style with a round of fun handbags that feature stickered-up leather, inspired by the designer's schoolgirl version of personalization. The bags showcase embossed sticker prints with a very cool, post-modernist vibe.



If you want to get your hands on these gorgeous purses, you will have to wait until next year. Unfortunately, the pre-ordering period has ended, and we can imagine that the waiting list is pretty long.

The brand will also be selling stickers separately, which can be used on any plain tote. These leather stickers are permanent adhesives, meaning they can't be removed once placed. Currently, there are only three styles, but there will be more stickers available once the whole collection is officially released.



If you just can't wait, then start "stickering up" using the "Ebury" bag below.

Take a Peek at How the Most Popular Dior Bags are Made


Ever wonder how your favorite designer purses are made? Because we often see these beautiful bags all made and propped up in retail stores, we rarely give a second thought about the process behind their creation. With the opening of Bergdorf Goodman's new in-store Dior boutique at their Manhattan flagship store, the retailer released a series of photographs that details the process of making a Dior bag.

There's so much that goes on behind the scenes of making a bag, especially a Dior bag. In this series of pictures, we get to see how the expert craftsmen of the Dior brand assemble and stitch their most popular purses like the Lady Dior, Diorissimo and Dior Addict. You can see from the pics how careful they are in handling the leather and putting in the details. In some parts, the craftsmen even have to wear gloves to make sure the luscious leather is not scratched or damaged in any way.



Getting a peek of this intimate behind-the-scenes moment makes us appreciate designer bags even more. While these Dior bags might take a chunk out of our savings, they are definitely worth the investment. See more Dior handbags here.
