  2. Vlad and I are fortunate to have a large platform with an amazing community of handbag loving people who join us daily from across the globe. We want to be a part of the fix to end systematic racism, both conscious and unconscious. We are taking steps, both personally and professionally, to be better allies for the Black community. You can read more of my thoughts on PurseBlog and discover a great roundup of Black-owned handbag brands as well.

    As our forums are shopping-focused, read about the 15 Percent Pledge and consider signing the petition to call on major retailers to pledge 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses. Please reach out to me directly if there is something you feel I could do differently on our forums to be a better ally and make this forum a welcoming community for all.

    If you want to deepen your anti-racism work, here is a comprehensive document with resources on books for kids, podcasts, articles, videos and more.

    Since I consider NYC to be the seat of fashion in the states - I was just curious which bags you ladies see most "on the streets"? What styles (and colors) are most prevelant?

    TIA!

    LOL...it depends on where you are different counties different bags. I was thinking about this last week when I was shopping in Jersey. They range from Coach, BV and LV, to B-Bags.

    I live 20 min. from NYC but hate the parking and crowds. So for me its usually a mall in Short Hills with most of the merchandise you can purchase in the city.

    B-bags, LV, Chloe every now and then. I was just in Dean and Deluca in SoHo and saw the worst looking fake speedy. This girl was acting like she was the sh*t. It had feet and everything!! She was staring at my petite noe funny!

    Lol NYC might be the fashion capital of the world, but most NYers don't give a flying poo about what another person is wearing. There are no real 'prevalent' bags because there are so many different people with different bags. Perhaps in a small town you'll notice a frequency in one particular bag but its not like that in NYC.

    i've spent the last 15 years living in the west village or one stop outside the city in bklyn and there's a geography to bags, I think. Upper east side, lots of hermes and chloe paddingtons. downtown, lately i've seen lots of kooba sienna. marc jacobs is big amongst mid-town working gals, and vuitton is popular with african-american fashionistas. last night at balthazar i saw a bunch of balenciage, new styles and colors

    I live outside of NYC, but when I go out to the city, I see tons of balenciagas and LVs (real and fake mixes)

    I was in soho today and counted like a million lv's in 10 minutes ;\

    I live in Soho and i see a TON of LVs, B-bags, and Fendis. I see a lot of fakes of the aforementioned too and I could just wipe off the smug looks of those carrying fakes. Makes me soo mad.

    I work in Midtown and I've recently spotted a ton of YSL Muses in the area in various shapes and colors. I have yet to see anyone with the Chloe Edith walking around NYC. I also see a TON of Paddys, MJ and Chanel all over.

    I live in Hong Kong now but still go back home all the time and I was born and raised in NYC - very much depends on the neighborhood ... downtown I see lots of the more funky trendy designers - marc jacobs and kooba - uptown more established classics ... chanel ...

    midtown - god only knows if they are real or not but lots of lv's everywhere ....

    and on the trains to NJ and LI - COACH!!!
