When in Milan.... We wait in line in the ugly heat August summer for a Goyard bag! why? Cause the…read morepeople who get it, just gets it.. who am I kidding we are irresponsible adults with our money. Rich people won't be caught standing in this line, in this summer heat. The perception of me being boujie is I love certain designer things. I wanted a Goyard bag because I was sick of my neverfull, everyone has it. Little did I know these girls all thought the same in line... HAHA!! If you know Goyard, it is one of the brands that make themselves very exclusive. You can only purchase them in store, they will not ship, nor will you know their price until you physically go in a brick and mortar. They have locations in the US, none in Hawaii. You are also limited to only buy 4 a year! The staff and service was amazing. The staff came by the line to hand out green umbrella and asked which item we had in mind to check stock. This why you aren't wasting your time if you wanted a specific item. I ended up waiting for 1 hr with my portable fan, I never travel without this, it's a life saver in humid conditions. When I got in the store, it was tiny fits 8-10 customers plus 8 workers. My sales associate told me today the line is a little shorter sometimes people wait 2hrs minimum. WHAT!!!! 1hr was bad already but 2hrs! At first I wanted a cross body and I really was set on the An jou mini tote. Asked the sales associate about white Belvedere and cap-vert. They only had red and blue in cap-vert, I tried on the red and my assigned sales associate he was so honest, he said girl that does not match you. Don't waste your money on that color or the style. Now that I LOVE you for being so honest and not just telling me to buy it. America would never do this, most lie to get you to just buy. More reasons to love Italians. I was set on white and he told me the mini an jou is very popular, it's a true reversible tote. Inside was black leather and the outside was the Goyard canvas design. They didn't have white but they had black/brown, blue, green and red. Firstly he said red is not my color, green and blue are the popular colors right now but black/brown is easier to pair with everyday. I went with the classic color black/brown mini Anjou and got a little painted blue heart Goyard to look different. They do custom graffiti art on the bags, cost depends on the size. I also got the conti pouch in white because I was set on getting a white Goyard too. He said the conti pouch is a great pouch, bigger than most pouches. In my mind I was planning on making this bag a cross body! Lol 2 in one! Honest question, would I do this again? HELL NO! Did I get what I wanted? Yes. Do I regret it? Oh absolutely! I have been home for a few months and I lean more towards the conti pouch, the insert in place making a cross body was more of a go to when I go out for errands. It was more practical as a going out bag. I love my mini Anjou but it's more like a work/brunch/ girls date bag since it has no zipper. The insert helps hold my stuff in place. It does go over the shoulder. I do end up picking my bigger totes for work. If you want a Goyard, stand in line and get it! I had a good experience here. Milan is the shopping capital, a boujie girl heaven.

A brightly lit, colorful, nicely arranged shop filled with wonderful handbags and jewelry. They specialize in handmade leather and vegan leather handbags, wallets, backpacks, belts as well as handmade jewelry too from silver and bronze alloy. Everything is just lovely and it's easy to tell that it is all very well crafted and detailed, they take pride in their work. Speaking with shop owner I asked him if he made the bags and he said yes and showed me the workshop. Not only does he make all the hand bags, but the workshop is right behind the shop, so cute. I don't see that at home in NYC. He was very friendly, very helpful and a pleasure to meet. I only wish I bought more.

Quality and a classic style…read more As fellow Yelper Brian Y. said, Massimo Dutti is owned by the Zara fashion group. It's definitely more conservative classy but perfect for work or more dressy events. We purchased a number of items in store because the quality, fit, and winter/new year prices were good. There is a NYC and an online presence for this retailer so do check out their catalog. I personally like the fit of their coats, scarves, and dresses. Many pieces say dry clean but I typically cold machine wash and flat line dry with no issues. The fit is slim so allow yourself room or double-check measurements.

The space is massive and laid out around a dramatic open atrium, so as you move through the three floors you can look down and take it all in from above. It feels more like a luxury gallery than a retail store, in the best way. What really surprised me was the café inside, which somehow makes the whole experience feel even more elevated and relaxed at the same time. You can browse, wander, pause, and just soak it in instead of feeling rushed. The service is polished and attentive without being intimidating, and the architecture alone is worth the visit. Even if you're not buying anything, this flagship is absolutely a must-see in Milan.

Julian Kaye: "That's right." - The American Gigolo I've always been an Armani man. It goes back to High School days when I would peruse the pages of GQ for the latest on Richard Gere and Tyrese. To me, Armani was the most testosterone driven look for high fashion. Lately, I've been less picky as my hips get bigger lol. I'm actually more a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy nowadays. Incognito part of my wardrobe. Yet on the rare occasion I like to dress up, and yes, I do clean up rather well :P I was never the biggest fan of Versace as I considered most designs were just over the top and who wants to look like Derek Zoolander or Hansel, right? Having said that I'm a big fan of a deal and when I came across a Versace polo shirt in Black on Black. The sale price was like 75% off retail and who cares if it was so last season. Black will never be out of style, so yes, I picked up my first Versace and I admit I felt a jolt of Julian Kaye! The moral of the story? You don't need Haute Couture to look good, or feel good. It's about you. Personally I like to mix and match, and throw my feelings to the wind. And like I said earlier I'm a t-shirt and jeans guy, but damn that Versace sure feels good.

I chose a bag and was happy paying full price, only to find out that most of the store was on sale (nice surprise) and thus ended up spending 100 euro less than anticipated. The sales associates weren't overly friendly, as I may be used to in America, but they weren't rude either, so they're alright in my book. I have by no means checked out all of Milano's leather shops so I can't say how this compares but I can say I left happy.
