  2. Are Handbags Actually a Good Investment?

    Are Handbags Actually a Good Investment?

    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. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/5624992 In this episode, we get into: How Christie's first offered a handbag for sale in 1978 — with pieces from Coco Chanel's personal collectionThe era of the It Bag and why the late 90s and early 2000s changed collecting foreverWhy Birkins and Kellys set record prices during the 2008 recession — and what that proved about handbags as investmentsHow the pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and created an entirely new generation of handbag collectorsChristie's 96% sell-through rate in handbags and what it signals about the current marketThe five factors Christie's uses to evaluate and price every bag: brand, material, model, condition, and rarityWhich bags are actually appreciating right now — and which are too trend-dependent to hold valueWhy the Kelly Pochette is having its moment and what's driving demand for smaller, evening-ready stylesThe world record Christie's set for a Kelly Doll bag — and why it sold for $350,000How to research a bag purchase the way a collector wouldThe difference between buying at Christie's versus a resale platform — and when each makes senseWhy Karl-era Chanel is having a major moment at auction right nowThe sticker debate: does leaving them on actually increase value?Why Rachel believes handbags should be worn, loved, and used — not kept in a box Rachel Koffsky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rach1k/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

  3. What Makes a Great Sneaker? With APL founders Adam and Ryan Goldston

    What Makes a Great Sneaker? With APL founders Adam and Ryan Goldston

    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. Shop APL https://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/ In this episode, we get into: What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneakerWhy being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industryThe decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury roomsWhy APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brandThe rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymoreWhat "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophyInside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a storeWhy building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital ageRalph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fanWhy Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidenceThe Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsoleWhy texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneakerThe rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right nowHow the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioning Thank you to my partners at Macy’s for my newest wardrobe essentials.

    How to Find the Perfect Pair of Jeans for Your Body Type (From a Vintage Denim Expert)

    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 anotherThe 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 breakThe Levi's 501 lore: why everyone wants them, why they don't work on everyone, and how to actually wear themThe viral "size up three in the new 501s" hack — and whether it actually worksThe 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 itThe case against skinny jeans (and why America is the only country that agrees)Why a dark wash is the most universally flattering and elevatingThe crotch test — Lindsay's #1 tell for whether a pair of jeans is actually right for youHow to know when a pair is workable for tailoring vs. when to put them backWhether $700 jeans are worth it and what you're actually paying forThe 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 runwayPlus, on Let's Get You Dressed: what to actually wear to a spring baby shower when you're not a floral dress girl Connect with Lindsey Davidson Paley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withlovelenny/ Thank you to my partners at Macy’s for my newest wardrobe essentials.

    How Ralph Lauren Shaped American Style

    Ralph Lauren isn't just a brand — it's one of the only American fashion houses that has shaped culture for nearly 60 years. And right now, it's having one of its biggest cultural moments yet, resonating across every generation.  Today we’re joined by longtime WWD fashion editor and friend of the house, Bridget Foley, who’s had a front row seat to the brand’s evolution. She’s also the author of Lauren’s latest book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, which covers over 100 runway shows and the brand’s most iconic moments.  In this episode, we get into: What actually defines a brand with longevity (and why so few designers achieve it)Ralph's "meet cute" moment with fashion and why he calls himself a storyteller, not a designerThe authenticity that makes Ralph different from every other luxury houseWhy Ralph was doing "lifestyle" decades before the term existedThe hand-me-downs, vintage uniforms, and Bronx childhood that shaped his entire aestheticRalph's belief in longevity and preservation, sustainability before it had a nameInside the Ralph Lauren archive (and why Bridget calls it a "fashion lover's wonderland")Why Gen Z fell in love with Ralph Lauren and what their parents' closets have to do with itThe codes that have permeated time: the tuxedo jacket over jeans, the polo shirt, the patchworkRalph Lauren's optimism and what it's actually rooted inWhat Ralph has done to stay relevant with the next generation Shop the new book, Ralph Lauren Catwalk, here: https://go.shopmy.us/p-56009344  Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

    Bonus Episode: The Spring Closet Clean Out Cheat Sheet

    If there’s one thing that’s transformed my personal style the most, it’s this: editing my closet. I’m a firm believer that a tidy closet = a clear mind, and every spring, I treat it like a full reset. After doing one of the biggest clean-outs of my life (we’re talking half my closet gone), I realized that great style isn’t about having more, it’s about having the right pieces, and knowing how to let go of the rest.  In this solo episode, I’m walking you through my exact, step-by-step guide to a spring closet reset—how to approach it with intention, make it actually enjoyable, and come out the other side with a wardrobe that finally feels like you. We get into: How to define your personal style right nowThe exact system I use to edit my closet (keep, tailor, rehome)My “hero rack” trick that changes how you get dressed every dayWhat to do with pieces you feel emotionally attached toHow to actually sell your clothes (and make money back)Why you shouldn’t rush to buy anything new after a clean-outThank you to Depop for making this episode possible.
