Banana Republic Goes Upscale with BR Monogram

Filed under: Apparel


Banana Republic
is stepping up the luxury by launching their newest line called BR Monogram. The new high-end collection will have all the goodness of traditional Banana Republic, but with a boost in the quality of the fabrics used and better tailoring. This quality upgrade will also mean a pricing upgrade (BR Monogram items cost an average of 30-40% more than the rest of Banana's items) plus there will hopefully be stand-alone BR Monogram boutiques around the country very soon -- the first one just opened in New York.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Houston, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Available online exclusively at eLuxury, Louis Vuitton has just introduced a brand new color into its collection: pomme d'amour. The deep pink is a bright spot in the brand's otherwise muted lineup and just the thing to gety ou into spring on a high note. The Monogram Vernis Houston is intended to be an everyday bag, albeit one with a bold look, with a zippered top, roomy interior and a few pockets inside. It is made with embossed patent leather, but topped with flat natural leather handles, which keep the bag from looking too loud. It measures 12" x 10" x 5". Price: $1,390.

Emily & Ashley Gold Monogram Sapphire Necklaces

Filed under: Jewelry

Having jewelry customized is always a nice touch, whether the piece is intended to be a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself. It sets the ring or necklace apart, both in comparison to similar items and in your mind as a thing of sentimental value. These lovely 14K gold pendants from Emily & Ashley have a personalized monogram in the center, ringed with small white or blue sapphires. Each measures 3/4-in. in diameter and is suspended on a 16-in. chain. The white sapphire necklace is priced at $690, while the blue is just $590.

Get Your Coach Bag Monogrammed

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags

It never hurts to add a personalized touch to favorite luxury items - or to any item at all, for that matter - and the designers at Coach know this. This fall, they have introduced a service with their fall Signature Stripe collection that will allow you to add your own "signature" to the bag in the form of a monogram with one, two or three letters. The bags all have Coach's signature logo fabric, lether trim and a bold accent stripe. The monogramming is only $25, and the bags range in price from $58 for a wristlet to $400 for a large tote. All of the custom bags can be ordered online or in stores.

Bridesmaid Gift: Pink Flask

Filed under: Spirits

'Tis the season for brides--and bridesmaids' gifts. Having been a bridesmaid on numerous occasions, I've received some lovely gifts, mostly in the form of jewelry or wraps. I love the gifts, but I do pity my bride friends who have to hunt for a gift to please sometimes 10 bridesmaids.  Here's one alternative: go unconventional and pick out something like this pink flask. Even if some of your bridesmaids aren't the kind of girls to be knocking back shots, at least it's original. And with the monogram, personal. At TheKnot.com; $19.95 (add $4.75 for monogram).

Louis Vuitton Monogram Perforated Wallet

Filed under: Handbags

Is perforated leather a new trend for spring? All of a sudden it's everywhere. We've seen it in the bright white Prada loafers, the Isabella Fiore Stud Muffin (yes, white again, another trend for spring) and now in the Louis Vuitton Monogram Perforated series. This wallet has the perforated monogram canvas and a brightly colored microfiber lining that  shows through. It has two separate compartments for bills and credit cards and one for coins. The wallet sells for $540.
