We're just about half way through New York Fashion Week, and though it was hot and humid the ladies and gents who were popping out to attend the shows brought out their best bags. Yesterday many of the big names showed including Prabal Gurung, Tibi, Alexander Wang and Hervé Léger by Max Azria. From classic Hermes orange on a coveted Birkin to multi-color studs on a mini Christian Louboutin bag, Vlad captured the best bags of day three spotted outside the venues.

It'd be difficult to argue that Fendi isn't absolutely hitting it out of the park right now when it comes to handbags, and now that the brand's Resort offerings are starting to trickle into stores, it looks like the brand's streak shall continue. (It's already got Spring locked up, too.) Pre-orders for Fendi's next round of bags are up at Saks, and the collection includes a bunch of the brand's most popular shapes in the colorblocked, multi-textured embellished with bird motifs.
Birds, like monsters, make an easy target for Fendi's particular brand of literal luxury, and in these bags, embroidery, jewels and fur, in addition to multiple textures of leather, create the animals, both on the bags themselves and beyond their traditional bounds.
The Peekaboos are far and away the most expensive of these bags, with Demi-Jours and Petite 2Jours coming in at slightly less painful price point. All are slated for delivery sometime in December. Check out our favorites below or head to Saks to shop the site's full edit.

If you’re a normal human who likes fashion and occasionally buys something nice for yourself, you’ve probably been shamed for it at some point, by someone. Friends, boyfriends or girlfriends, parents, coworkers, the parents of your kids’ friends–everyone’s got an opinion about how other people should spend their money. As it turns out, not even the rich and famous are immune from that kind of judgment; in her recent New York magazine cover profile, Joni Mitchell recounted being bag-shamed by Warren Beatty.
Mitchell, legendary folk music goddess and among the stars of a new Saint Laurent campaign, talks at some length in the profile about how famous men used her fashion choices as a way to criticize or belittle her, but the most specific story is about a Chanel bag (which sounds like it was a Chanel Classic Flap, based on her description) she carried in the 70s. Beatty, apparently unprompted, told her that such a bag was “an unbecoming purse for an artist”–that she was somehow undermining her own talent by owning and carrying a bag that she liked and could obviously afford.
The implication, as it so often is, is that only silly girls would find value or pleasure in fashion, and that silly girls are unable to have serious thoughts or interests or make serious art; that fashion devalues those associated with it. Unfortunately, that’s a familiar battle for most of us.
One of the upsides of working at PurseBlog is that I’m rarely bag-shamed anymore; people understand that my personal taste is part of my job, and they usually leave me alone about it. Living in New York City helps, too, because expensive bags are status symbols here in the way that cars are in most other cities. It wasn’t always that way, though; I can remember coworkers at previous jobs pestering me to tell them how much my bags cost even though I obviously didn’t want to, as well as well-meaning friends who were a little too interested in my spending habits.
Most memorable, though, was my college boyfriend. I found the PurseForum while we were dating and took a particular interest in Balenciaga bags. I bought a couple of pre-owned bags on eBay after careful research and saving as much cash as I could from my part-time job at Best Buy, and despite having expensive hobbies of his own, he thought that was frivolous and maybe dangerous. One day, he DVR’d an episode of Oprah that included a segment on compulsive spending and asked that I watch it.
I did watch it, even though I knew that a couple pre-owned bags did not a compulsion make. The show reinforced my belief that I wasn’t doing anything wrong, of course, and that my then-boyfriend was overreacting because I was interested in something that he thought was stupid. The other segment on that episode of Oprah featured the author of a book called Getting The Love You Want: A Guide for Couples; I ordered it on Amazon and had it delivered to his house. I’m sure it will shock you to hear that we eventually broke up.
That’s my worst tale of bag-shaming by far, and we’d like to hear yours in the comments.

The buckle: It’s one of those details that alternates between existing for purely functional reasons (read: to keep your belongings from flying out of your bag) and strictly decorative purposes (hefty hardware, anyone?). The best buckles do a bit of both: They hold it all together and they polish up and punctuate an otherwise unfinished bag. Here, my favorite buckles of the moment:
1. Maison Margiela Buckle Large Satchel: Count on Margiela to make a traditional, ladylike style feel avant-garde. Credit the monochrome buckle.
2. Alexander Wang Mini Rockie Pebbled Leather Satchel Bag: The shrunken version of Alex’s classic Rockie style is extra-cute, especially with buckle-topped rolled handles.
3. Michael Kors Across-Body Bag: Subtly menswear-inspired, think of this proper but not prim crossbody as a riff on the classic spectator shoe.
4. Christopher Kane Medium Leather Bag: The Safety Buckle has become Kane’s signature, and for good reason. It’s at once utilitarian, unique, and unfussy.
5. Burberry Prorsum The Belt Suede Shoulder Bag: A big, chunky buckle on a chain-topped mini-bag shouldn’t be this cute – yet it’s absolutely adorable.
