Stella McCartney Sage Patent Saddle Bag

Pierre Bourdieu developed theories of social stratification based on aesthetic taste in his work Distinction. Bourdieu claims that how one chooses to present one’s aesthetic dispositions, depicts one’s status and distances oneself from lower groups. The classic example of this tendency in fashion is our obsession with carrying status bags. But in a world of multifaceted concerns standing out can be more about subtle cues. Quietly carrying an environmentally friendly and Vegan Stella McCartney Sage Patent Saddle Bag is a signifier for a whole different kind of social AND socially concerned woman.

Stella McCartney and LeSportsac Collaboration

Looks like Stella is going to have a new partnership! According to WWD, Stella McCartney and LeSportsac have joined forces for a new bag line.

LeSportSacc is upbeat about its new collaboration with Stella McCartney, projecting the 18-month deal will deliver $50 million to $70 million in sales at retail.

The 17-piece, limited edition nylon handbag and luggage collection that was shown to select retailers late last month is signature McCartney: sporty, feminine and utilitarian.

Ready to give birth to her third child, McCartney has motherhood on the brain. Each bag contains compartments for cosmetics and baby wipes and insulating compartments for baby bottles.

We actually really dig she is thinking of moms. How says that practical and cute shouldn't come together? Though she might be going just a little TOO cute.
