by Thea Elle | August 6, 2025 | Luxury Bags“Made in Italy” once stood for more than just location—it symbolized craftsmanship, heritage, and integrity. It helped luxury giants like Gucci and Loro Piana command sky-high prices and global admiration. But recent investigations paint a different...
by Thea Elle | July 29, 2025 | Luxury BagsYou probably don’t need another bag. But the feed thinks otherwise. A canvas tote here, a micro mini there, a puffed leather whim you’ll forget by next season. We don’t shop for utility anymore—we shop for distraction. The algorithm doesn’t want you...
