Since my obsession of fashion began, I was taught that every woman wanted an Hermes Birkin Bag, or at least a Kelly (the starter bag to prepare for the Birkin). During Fashion’s Night Out, I swung by Assouline for the launch of Brazilian Style and found something that put my Birkin lust to rest forever–The Goyard Trunk.

Affordably priced at $20,000, this black leather, custom-made trunk was created in collaboration with the famous French craftsman Goyard; each trunk houses 100 of ASSOULINE’s signature Memoires. Chanel, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan…even Picasso: The Objects…THEY ARE ALL THERE! The fashionable woman may have wanted the bag, but now the intellectual in me (the woman that took her degree in 19th century literature and turned it into a fashion marketing career) will only ever covet this. And yes, one day – she will have it.
