Handbags have always been emotional purchases. Somewhere along the way, they became financial ones too, and if you've ever tried to justify a Birkin to someone who doesn't get it, Rachel Koffsky is the woman who makes that argument for you.

Rachel is the Head of Handbags at Christie's, one of the world's most prestigious auction houses, and has spent 12 years at the intersection of fashion, collecting, and the resale market. She joins me to break down what it actually means to treat a handbag like an asset, and which bags are worth your money right now.

We get into the history of handbags at auction, what the market is telling us about where we are culturally, and why classic pieces continue to outperform almost everything else. Whether you're sitting on a collection or thinking about your first serious purchase, this episode will change how you think about what's hanging in your closet.

In this episode, we get into:

How Christie's first offered a handbag for sale in 1978 — with pieces from Coco Chanel's personal collection
The era of the It Bag and why the late 90s and early 2000s changed collecting forever
Why Birkins and Kellys set record prices during the 2008 recession — and what that proved about handbags as investments
How the pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and created an entirely new generation of handbag collectors
Christie's 96% sell-through rate in handbags and what it signals about the current market
The five factors Christie's uses to evaluate and price every bag: brand, material, model, condition, and rarity
Which bags are actually appreciating right now — and which are too trend-dependent to hold value
Why the Kelly Pochette is having its moment and what's driving demand for smaller, evening-ready styles
The world record Christie's set for a Kelly Doll bag — and why it sold for $350,000
How to research a bag purchase the way a collector would
The difference between buying at Christie's versus a resale platform — and when each makes sense
Why Karl-era Chanel is having a major moment at auction right now
The sticker debate: does leaving them on actually increase value?

Sneakers used to be one of two things: performance or fashion. Somewhere in the last decade, that line collapsed — and the shoes most of us are reaching for now sit firmly in the middle.

I'm joined by Adam and Ryan Goldston, founders of APL and the first members of an athletic company ever inducted into the CFDA, for a conversation on how they ushered in the era of the fashion sneaker. From getting banned by the NBA for their first shoe to landing in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance product in those rooms, Adam and Ryan share how a clear point of view — and a refusal to use logos — built one of the most distinctive sneaker brands in the world.

We get into world-building beyond product, why they believe taste is their real superpower and the consumer shift toward quieter, design-led pieces.

In this episode, we get into:
What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneaker
Why being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industry
The decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury rooms
Why APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brand
The rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymore
What "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophy
Inside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a store
Why building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital age
Ralph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fan
Why Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)
The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidence
The Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsole
Why texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneaker
The rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right now
How the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioning

Denim should be the easiest thing in our closet — we wear it almost every single day — but somehow it's the category that humbles us the most. We've all had that experience of walking into a department store, trying on ten pairs of jeans, and leaving with none.

I'm joined by Lindsay Davidson Paley, founder of Lenny, the LA vintage denim store that has become a destination for anyone looking for their perfect pair. After spending an afternoon in her store and walking out with jeans I actually love, I wanted to sit down with her to demystify everything about denim — from why fit feels impossible right now, to what to actually look for when you're vintage shopping, to the conversation you should be having with your tailor.

In this episode, we get into:
Why finding jeans that fit feels harder than ever (and the fit model problem nobody talks about)
Vanity sizing and why you're a 24 in one brand and a 26 in another
The single most important thing to know before you shop for jeans (hint: your measurements)
Why Lindsay's a firm believer in dressing for your body — and the one rule jeans don't get to break
The Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear them
The viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually works
The three non-negotiables Lindsay looks for when sourcing vintage denim (original hem, wash, distressing)
Why the original hem is sacred and what to tell your tailor so you never lose it
The case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)
Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevating
The crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for you
How to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them back
Whether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying for
The best modern denim brands worth investing in (Agolde, Citizens, The Row's Yale Alaw, Khaite, Reformation)
The best pregnancy jean (and the Levi's Low Loose nobody can stop wearing)
Why denim is officially a neutral — and what it says about fashion that Chanel, Celine, and Gucci are all sending jeans down the runway
Plus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girl

Summer dressing should be the easiest season, fewer layers, less to think about, but somehow it's the one that trips us up the most. I get more questions about summer style than any other time of year so consider this your Summer style toolkit.

I'm answering the questions you've been sending in nonstop: the perfect sandal, how to elevate jean shorts, what to wear when it's a million degrees outside but freezing in your office, and the colors and shoes defining this summer.
