The Classicist: From the Queen to McQueen

Filed under: Men's Style, The Classicist

The history of the illustrious London luxury goods maker known today as Swaine Adeney Brigg goes back over 250 years. They've been supplying various items to Britain's Royal Family for 200 of them, and as those monarchs tend to be a traditional lot, the firm has basically remained unchanged in all that time. However, even this storied, not to say stodgy, company has decided it's time to freshen things up a bit. They recently brought in Alexander McQueen's former accessories chief Dominic Laurelli as design director to give SAB a much needed facelift.

Laurelli's first creation is the new St. James luggage collection. Laurelli tells us he drew on the understated elegance of 1920s luxury travel and the great Coco Chanel for inspiration, and says the St. James line is intended to be "synonymous with both traditional English leather goods and contemporary, modern style" (two words seldom heard around SAB). The collection is made from a durable anthracite tweed-like fabric with a water resistant backing and bridle leather detailing.

Love to Shop? The Best Places for a VIP Experience

Shopping is one of those things that's pretty darn fun in all but the worst of circumstances, but of course there's always room for it to be even better! VIP shopping experiences are available to only the biggest of spenders, which means you get in by actually shopping a lot instead of by paying a fee for the services.

So where do those "biggest spenders" do their spending?

A VIP experience is a very subjective thing, so it's really all about your personal experience and taste. Would you change anything on this list?

Marc Jacobs Mina Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I am seeing a lot of variations of this color in handbags this fall and I like it a lot. This deep plum leather is quilted with elastic, giving the bag a bit of give and an overall soft look. Nothing new about the chunky gold-tone chain strap, but it does look sharp against the diamond pattern of the bag. With a single zip pocket and classic kiss-lock closure, it is simply beautiful. $1395.

Luxury for Less

If you're not familiar with the retail industry calendar, you may not be aware of peak season sales. You're probably familiar with Day after Christmas sales, but the other big annual sale usually occurs towards the end of June.

In other words, it's hunting season, ladies! And the best part is that many retailers have extended their in-store bargains to online shoppers. The ever-posh Bergdorf Goodman is offering spring and summer items marked down by up to 40%.

With 40% off, the Elie Tahari white lace dress that I have been coveting from afar will now only cost me $299.00! (Hey, that's down from $498.00, mind you...) And this is just the tip of the iceberg -- designer garb from Missoni, Derek Lam, Stella McCartney, and Jimmy Choo are also up for grabs.

Happy hunting!

BG @ Bergdorf Goodman

by Matthew Collins (RSS feed) —

If spending the day traipsing around Fifth Ave. has stirred a hunger in you that only fine cuisine can fill, head to Bergdorf Goodman. Now, I know you're thinking that more shopping is the last thing you need, but if you can make it past the Christian Louboutin shoes and catch an elevator up you'll find a pleasant place to fill up. Simply named BG, this cafe is a perfect place to recharge after a busy day of retail therapy. The cuisine is called American Nouveau, which basically means "new versions of old favorites." What makes this place special is the fabulous decor by Kelly Wearstler. The blues and greens are soothing and Central Park views aren't too shabby either.
