Evangelist John Edwards has seen first-hand how faith can transform lives, and now he's bringing the tent revival back to Northern Ireland.   From August 26th to 30th, a five-day revival will take place in Omagh, with John and others coming together to share a message of hope and faith. And next Wednesday, The Handbag Project goes live on YouTube — another initiative aimed at reaching people with practical care and hope. 

For many celebrity men, and even the average guy on the street, the idea that handbags are only for women is long gone. There is a growing trend, particularly among male celebrities, of carrying handbags of all sizes and colours as the latest luxury fashion statement. Celebrities, athletes and designers are all proving that men can wear handbags too. Jacob Elordi, Pharrell Williams, Harry Styles, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott have all been spotted rocking handbags, making them somewhat of pioneers in the handbag's comeback.

Who are you calling a bag lady. This is Tore's two hour show on handbags, their raw materials, craft level workmanship, pricing basics, and the elements of fashion. What to put in them? How about Tore's intermittent comments on various intel subjects. Carry them in style.

Handbags have evolved from everyday essentials into expressions of personal identity—and that shift is transforming the way retailers buy, merchandise, and discover brands. In this episode, Dorothy Belshaw, CEO and co-owner of NY NOW, shares how the wholesale landscape has changed, why trade shows remain essential in a digital world, and how independent designers can stand out with buyers. From the impact of the 2008 recession to post-pandemic consumer behavior, Dorothy explains why human connection, curated experiences, and genuine product innovation continue to drive retail success.Key Takeaways:• Wholesale is evolving, not disappearing — Trade shows and in-person relationships still drive discovery and lasting retail partnerships.• Handbags have become lifestyle purchases — Today's consumers buy bags as personal expressions, creating new opportunities in the gift and specialty retail markets.• Curation wins attention — Focused concepts and fresh merchandising help independent brands stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Gabi is irate after discovering that her designs are being counterfeited and sold online as knock-offs.  DOOL spoilers reveal that initially, Gabi accuses Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Phillip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) of the theft, leading to a series of dramatic events. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O'Brien) inadvertently uncovers the forgery when she purchases a fake 'Gabi chic' bag. Spoilers for Days of our Lives reveal that Gabi enlists the help of Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Gwen to investigate the theft, while she also deals with a potential betrayal by Titan and the DiMera Enterprises.  More DOOL spoilers suggest the potential suspects range from Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) to Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), and even Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). However, the most surprising suspect is Gus (Michael Ocampo), the new boyfriend of Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez), who recently moved to Salem and could have potentially accessed Gabi's design files.

What happens when a handbag is designed as a work of art instead of just an accessory? In this episode, Elif Akaydin, founder of Patent of Heart, shares how her journey from Istanbul to New York shaped a brand rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling, and purpose. She explains how hand embroidery, chain stitch techniques, and upcycled leather create bags that feel personal, while balancing one-of-a-kind artistry with the realities of production, pricing, and growth. Alifa also shares why pop-ups and boutiques have been key to building her business, and how producing in Istanbul supports women artisans while giving back to women's education.Key Takeaways:Art creates connection — Handcrafted details transform handbags into meaningful, collectible pieces.Creativity needs structure — Production, pricing, and scalable design are just as important as inspiration.Purpose builds loyalty — Ethical manufacturing and giving back can strengthen a brand when they're woven into the business.

Two kids, you play man-to-man. Three, and suddenly you're outnumbered and forced into zone defense, not to mention a Toyota Highlander with a third row. Micah was Jeff & Schuyler's third daughter, the one they never planned to have. This week, Jeff tells the birth story of his third daughter, born in the same Williamsburg basement as Lolli - except he doesn't remember it. Sleep deprivation wiped the day clean, so he handed the mic to Schuyler and her mother, Grannie Annie, whose handwritten account fills in the rest. What unspools is the family's defining cautionary tale, the "Prada handbag" - their shorthand for a first-world problem dressed up as principle. A blocked ureter, a kidney swollen to the size of a cantaloupe, thirty pounds lost over a month of crawling on all fours. And at the end of it, a baby born still sealed in her caul, the talisman sailors once paid a fortune to carry against drowning. This is the third episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

Matthew 6:1-8

What happens when a designer steps inside the Italian luxury manufacturing system and sees how much material never makes it into the final product? In this episode, Cassandra Kane shares how a move to Florence transformed her understanding of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the hidden costs of luxury production. After years designing for major fashion brands, she discovered the staggering amount of leather waste generated during manufacturing and set out to create a different model. The result was Sieme, an upcycled handbag brand that transforms leather offcuts and overstock into modern, luxury-quality accessories. Cassandra also discusses the challenges of building a circular supply chain in Italy, the creation of Zero Lab, and why transparency, education, and thoughtful design are essential to making sustainability more than just a marketing claim.Key Takeaways:• Waste is built into luxury production — Understanding the manufacturing process reveals opportunities for innovation. • Sustainability requires infrastructure — Great intentions aren't enough without systems that support circularity. • Storytelling builds trust — Transparency, education, and product longevity help customers connect with purpose-driven brands.

Nina Campbell has been one of my favorite people I have had the pleasure of sitting down with since I started Duologue — sixty years of designing the most beautiful rooms in the world and she is still the most curious, most passionate person in any room she walks into. In this conversation we talk about how she got her start working under the legendary John Fowler at Colefax and Fowler, the project in mainland China that required flying in thirty people, their own paint, and their own tea, the house in Maine that became her favorite project of her career and the subject of her book, and what it actually means to design a room for the life someone lives in it — not the life they imagine. We also get into Nina's insider tips on paint, bedding, tabletop, and the best places to find antiques.

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.

What happens when a sentimental handbag inspires an entirely new business? In this episode, Penny Crook, founder of Denault Handbags, shares how a purse gifted by her late father sparked the idea for a patented reversible handbag designed to simplify wardrobes and deliver two looks in one. Leaving behind a career in financial advising, Penny entered the world of product development, manufacturing, and patents to create a bag that blends functionality, versatility, and quality. She opens up about costly manufacturing mistakes, the importance of vetting factories, and the lessons she learned rebuilding her business with stronger processes and partners. From tech packs and sampling costs to Amazon, boutiques, trade shows, and influencer marketing, Penny offers a practical roadmap for turning an idea into a marketable product.Key Takeaways:• Do your homework on manufacturers — Research, references, and factory vetting can save years of costly mistakes. • Patience protects your brand — Slowing down during development often prevents expensive problems later. • Innovation needs education — Unique products sell faster when customers can clearly see and understand the value.

In this best-of-episode, I sit down with authors & explorers Hugh Newman & JJ Ainsworth to explore some of the strangest patterns in ancient history: the mysterious “handbag” symbol found in artwork across cultures, the worldwide legends of serpent worship, and the out-of-place artifacts that continue to raise questions. From ancient gods and sacred symbols to forgotten knowledge and lost civilizations, this episode takes a closer look at the clues that may connect civilizations across the ancient world. We'll examine why similar symbols appear in places separated by oceans and thousands of years, and what these mysteries might reveal about humanity's forgotten past.FOLLOW HUGH & JJ HEREJOIN ME ON A TOUR HERE

What happens when the retail world you built no longer works? In this episode, Shy Iland, founder of Daisy Rose and former owner of the indie-boutique chain Big Drop, shares how the 2008 financial crisis reshaped his entire approach to fashion. After watching handbags outperform most retail categories during the downturn, Shy pivoted from brick-and-mortar retail into handbag manufacturing, sourcing, and private label production. He opens up about the realities of running multi-store retail before ecommerce, the pressure of inventory, rent, and shrinking margins, and the difficult decision to walk away from a family business. From traveling to China's Canton Fair to building factory relationships and eventually launching Daisy Rose, Shy breaks down how Amazon FBA, influencer momentum, and disciplined sourcing helped transform his next chapter into a scalable business.Key Takeaways:• Accessories survive downturns — Handbags often outperform trend-driven categories during economic shifts. • Manufacturing is relationship-driven — Strong factory partnerships matter more than chasing the lowest price. • Scale requires adaptation — Moving from retail to sourcing to Amazon selling demanded constant reinvention.

Today we're chatting with Rachel Koffsky Parker, Senior Vice President and International Head of Department for Handbags and Accessories at Christie's auction house — one of the most recognized voices in the global luxury handbag market and, an auctioneer herself, having taken handbag sales in New York, London, Geneva, and Hong Kong. After internships at the Met and the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Rachel found her way to Christie's in 2014, just as handbags were becoming a formalized auctionhouse category. Since, she has helped build the handbag category from the ground up, growing into what is now one of the most strategically important departments in the house — responsible for bringing in 12% of all new Christie's clients and selling in excess of forty million dollars in handbags worldwide last year alone. Over the last decade plus, she's brought the first single-owner handbag collections to market in both Milan and Paris, set world auction records for Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, and helped transform the way an entire generation of collectors thinks about handbags — not just as accessories, but as objects with history, rarity, provenance, and serious investment value. On today's episode, we get into all of it: how she built her expertise by cataloging up to a hundred bags a week, what actually drives value at auction, the record-breaking lots that still give her chills, and why a little wear and patina has gone from a liability to a badge of honor in the eyes of today's collectors. All that and more! Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [4:00] Rachel grew up obsessed with Lucky Magazine, loving all things fashion and handbags.  [6:35] How her love of luxury handbags led to a career in the auction house.  [9:16] The first Christie's auction to include handbags was in 1978, but it wasn't until 2014 that handbags became a formalized category at the house.  [10:25] Handbags now bring in 12% of all new Christie's clients, making it one of the most strategically important departments in the house.  [12:20] Christie's customers began to understand handbags as an asset class.  [18:06] What drives pre-sale estimates, and what provenance means in the auction world   [23:55] Christie's world-record handbag auctions [31:43] Current trends on the secondary luxury market  [36:17] The upcoming Christie's luxury week sale with over 250 lots  [38:10] What goes into producing an auction  [40:32] Rachel's Holy Grail lot  [42:22] The personal pieces Rachel will never part with  EPISODE MENTIONS:  Christie's @christiesinc @christieshandbags Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton pumpkin bag  Hermès Kelly Doll  Upcoming Handbag auction: 28 May to 11 June.  LET'S CONNECT: 

The URC playoff race has officially descended into absolute carnage

Tired of the hustle but craving purpose? In this relaunch episode of She Will Flourish, Rachel Earp reveals why she walked away from striving to step into her God-given calling. Learn how to identify misalignment, overcome burnout, and trade the "grind" for true confidence and peace."What if the life you've been working so hard to build… isn't actually aligned with who you're called to become?"For years, I did what so many high-capacity women do: I showed up, worked hard, and chased growth. But beneath the surface, something felt off.

Does your website look outdated or feel inconsistent with the level of your business?Blaire Brown, Founder and CEO of Visionary Advantages, works with companies that are growing but still struggling with how their brand is perceived.

These examples show how branding decisions shape how buyers respond long before they evaluate the offer.This conversation explores what makes a brand feel outdated, why many businesses delay redesign too long, and how missing or poorly used brand guides create inconsistency across websites, packaging, and marketing.What You'll LearnHow to spot an outdated website fastHow design details signal value instantlyWhat the handbag story reveals about positioningWhy unexpected branding can drive demandWhen to stop DIY and hire a designerWhy a brand guide matters and how it's usedLogo mistakes that make brands look datedHow to choose a design team that gets strategyWhat it takes to redesign a wellness brandIf your branding feels disconnected or no longer reflects your business, this episode breaks down where the gap starts and how to approach fixing it.Learn more from Visionary Advantageshttps://visionaryadvantages.com/Connect with Blaire Brownhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/blairebrownResources:● Connect with Ian● Download a Tackle Box!● Supercharge your marketing and grow your business with video case stories today!● Subscribe to the YouTube Channel Hosted on Acast.

Today, we're chatting with Nica, the founder behind FashioNica — a live-streamed marketplace for curated pre-loved designer handbags, jewelry, and watches that has built one of the most devoted communities in the luxury resale space. Every Thursday at 7 p.m. Pacific, Nica drops a new collection, but the real magic happens in the thirty minutes before that, when she goes live on Instagram to show off what she found that week — it's basically a FaceTime call with a few thousand of your most handbag-obsessed girlfriends to see what Nica found this week. Each drop, her bags routinely sell out in under two minutes. Nica grew up thrifting, scanning the racks at Goodwill and Salvation Army for the trends she'd clock at Forever 21, where she worked after school. She developed a sharp eye early — and, as it turned out, an even sharper instinct for which pieces were worth holding onto. A Nordstrom employee discount and a Chloé backpack were her gateway into designer pieces. After that, there was no going back — though she's never really considered buying new when pre-loved exists. What started as a passion project filmed on an iPhone, with bags laid out all over her apartment, has grown into a full operation with a team, a warehouse, international sourcing trips, and a major pop-up event — FashioNica Fest — that drew hundreds of community members to a studio full of bags she'd personally sourced in Japan.  On today's episode, we get into all of it — how Nica sources the pieces that end up in your cart, the art of the Thursday night drop, and why she believes a bag with a little wear is always going to be more interesting than one that's never left the store.  Let's dive right in!

What happens when the way you start building your brand is the very thing holding you back? We sit down with Andrea Pascual to unpack the shift from early hustle to sustainable growth—when handmaking every piece, chasing quality, and saying yes to everything starts costing more than it gives. From her path through FIT and New York's garment district to the realities of bespoke pricing and burnout, Andrea shares how designers navigate the tension between artistry and building a real business—and why pivoting is often the hardest, but most necessary, move.Key Takeaways: • What works early won't scale — Growth requires letting go of old processes. • Handmade has limits — Time, margins, and energy must be protected. • Production is strategy — Factories, tech packs, and backups are critical to survival.

When Jessica Mitford (aka Decca) was eleven, in 1928, she opened a Running Away Account at Drummonds Bank. A few years later she ran away to Spain to help in the fight against Franco, and not long after that moved to the US where she became a naturalised citizen and joined the Communist Party. The Mitford sisters wrote many books and even more have been written about them, but Carla Kaplan's scholarly new biography of Jessica is a welcome addition to the ‘Mitford industry', according to Rosemary Hill, because she approaches her subject as an ‘American communist with an unusual background in the English aristocracy'. In this episode, Rosemary joins Thomas Jones to talk about Decca's eventful life, her work as a civil rights activist and writer, and her complicated relationships with the other Mitfords. When asked whether the bond with her sisters had ‘stood between her and life's cruel circumstances', Decca replied: ‘Sisters were life's cruel circumstances.'

HEADLINE: Cotton, Contraband, and the Invention of the Handbag GUEST AUTHOR: Anne HigonnetSUMMARY: Higonnet details the material revolution where aristocratic silk was replaced by Indian cotton, a "revolutionary fabric" that allowed painters like Jacques-Louis David to visualize the natural female body. This silhouette necessitated the invention of the modern handbag, as the new slim dresses lacked the space for pockets hidden in traditional voluminous skirts. Josephine further defined the era by popularizing the cashmere shawl and inventing the tiara using Italian cameos. Meanwhile, Juliette Récamier adopted a rigorous all-white aesthetic to symbolize revolutionary purity, sparking a British frenzy to both mock and copy French fashions.11807 JOSEPHINE
