Hold my bag, will ya

Of course it helps to wear the box bag from Céline, or the Phantom from Céline, or anything Céline, really. Or the Diego from Alexander Wang, the PS11 from Proenza Schouler or of course the Boy from Chanel. But the way in which you carry a bag is also of vital importance. So pay close attention. The clutch, dearest ladies, shouldn’t be held with a duckbill grip like last year (thumb on the one side, the other four on the other side), but fold your clutch (which has grown a size this year, and became a bit softer) like a soft pillow between your upper and lower arm (like wearing a baby). Small, rectangular bags with a grip on the top should be held exactly like that, on the top. And even the duffle bag has a right way of wearing it. Put your arm around it and cuddle. And if you fall asleep on top of your hand luggage, then at least know you’ll look lovely and fashionable. Now only keep your mouth closed…
