Did you know the YSL Le 5 à 7 hobo bag is named after the French expression “le cinq à sept”, the stylish hours between work and dinner, when Parisian elegance truly comes alive. No wonder this bag became a modern icon.🖤
Did you know that the Chanel Classic Double Flap bag in black lambskin with 24-karat gold-plated hardware and burgundy lining was designed so that the interior matches the rich, deep shade of Coco Chanel’s iconic lipstick? 💄🖤This subtle yet thoughtful detail reflects the perfect blend of elegance and personality that Coco herself adored. It makes the bag not just a stylish accessory, but also a piece of Chanel history that elevates any vintage collection.
Did you know that the vachetta leather of a Louis Vuitton Speedy is intentionally left untreated?
That’s why it starts off light in color and, over time, develops a warm honey-colored patina through exposure to sunlight, air, and everyday use ✨
Patina is the natural aging and color change of leather that occurs with time and wear. As a result, every Speedy ages differently, no two bags ever develop the exact same shade. Each one tells its own unique story.
In this photo, you can beautifully see that reflected in the different LV Speedys 🤎👜
Did you know…
the Chanel Mademoiselle chain was originally made entirely of metal and 24-karat gold plated? Coco Chanel considered leather too fragile and designed her chains to be durable, strong, and functional, meant for everyday wear.
Later, in the 1980s, leather was added for extra comfort and a more recognizable Chanel signature. As a result, the fully metal, 24k gold-plated Mademoiselle chain became increasingly rare. Today, vintage bags with this chain are seen as purer Chanel designs and are highly sought after by collectors.
