Kindness In The Midst Of Unspeakable Horror

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

AOL News posted an Associated Press story earlier this week about a Holocaust survivor named Berthe Meijer, now 71.  Mrs. Meijer (at age 6) was an inmate at the Nazi concentration camp Bergen Belsen for 13 months until it was liberated in April 1945.  Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust memorial authority, has confirmed this.  Her memoir, which will be published in Dutch later this month, recounts a memory of Anne Frank telling stories to the younger children in the camp to take their minds off their surroundings.

The article points out:

"Around 140,000 Jews lived in the Netherlands before the 1940-45 Nazi occupation. Of those, 107,000 were deported to Germany and only 5,200 survived.

"The Meijers and the Franks were acquaintances before the war: members of both families had fled Germany during the rise of Hitler's regime and found a place in the tightly-knit Jewish community in Amsterdam. The Meijers lived on the same street where Anne attended a Montessori elementary school."

Please follow the link to the article to read the entire story.  It is an inspiring story.  I will admit that I didn't realize that there were children in the concentration camps.  I was under the impression that they were sent to the gas chambers as soon as they arrived.  I can't imagine the imprint an experience like the concentration camps would leave on a young child.  It is comforting to know that there were people in the camps that tried to protect the young and vulnerable from the reality around them.

In just one week it will be the beginning of the biggest shopping season of the year (and the single most important day in American retail, but, like, no pressure), but now, things are a bit quiet on the shopping front. That doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptional bag deals to be had, though–it just means we had to dig a little, and that’s exactly what we did. Below, check out the fruits of our labors.

Every fall, without fail, we look forward to the rich textures and warm hues the cold weather brings to our wardrobes. We already showed you some of our favorite burgundy bags to covet this season (and, might I add, we’re still swooning), but handbags aren’t the only way to showcase this gorgeous shade.

As you’ve probably noticed (you’re observant!), premier designer brands price the majority of their handbags between $1,500 and $3,000, and a select few even manage to exceed that average range for everyday leather pieces. Those are the bags we most often cover because they’re usually the pieces with the most interesting details and variations, and because of that, they generate the lion’s share of the consumer interest.

Not everyone wants to (or can) pay that kind of money for a bag, though, even if they want a big-name brand. Luckily, there’s a little bit of middle ground.

When we started PurseBlog and PurseForum over ten years ago, the very first designer we met was Rebecca Minkoff. At the time, Rebecca and her team were working out of an apartment below her own place, and the tiny NYC office was filled with boxes and bags from end to end.

Here's an extremely excited Behati Prinsloo, greeting the paps in NYC. She's carrying a black leather Balenciaga Cable Bag. I've probably pointed this out before, but I don't love this Balenciaga style, mainly because at first glance, it's easily mistaken for a shopping bag. Your mileage may vary.

One of the trickiest winter beauty problems I’ve ever encountered is how to keep my lips from turning dry and chapped in the harsh Northeastern weather. It’s a problem I never had when I lived in more humid climates, and over the past four winters, I’ve gone through a lot of trial and error in how to fix it.

Waltzing into a boutique or pulling up your favorite retailer’s website and buying a new bag at full price is great (trust us, we love it), but it’s not the only way. For the huge number of consumers who want to find a good deal, search down a bag they missed in seasons past or find a way to access designs that may not otherwise be readily available to them in their hometowns or online, a new cottage industry has sprung up: designer bag resale sites.

You can’t really blame us for concentrating almost entirely on women’s bags; they have, for PurseBlog’s entire existence, been much more aesthetically interesting than those made for men. The male-focused accessories market is starting to expand a bit, though, and it’s a great time to be a man in the market for a new bag.

Reese Witherspoon was recently spotted out and about in Santa Monica with her latest handbag acquisition from Salvatore Ferragamo. Reese's love of the Fiamma is well-documented; she owns at least three of them, and this black leather version is her newest. We love the Fiamma, but I'd still love to ask: Why this bag, Reese? Why this bag, out of all bags?

We brought you an in-depth look at Chanel’s Cruise 2016 handbag lookbook last week, but when we got to poking around the brand’s website, we realized that wasn’t the full story. The number of small leather goods, including the popular Wallet on Chain (WOC) bags, the brand includes in the seasonal spotlight fluctuates with each collection, and this time, there were quite a few pieces well worth some attention.

We so rarely get to feature dudes in these celeb round-ups, and when we do feature a men, it’s usually Rich Kid EJ Johnson, flaunting his ridiculously high-end handbag collection. (We get it, EJ. You have great taste in bags.) In recent days, however, we’ve seen several celeb dudes stepping out with the ladies in their lives (and their handbags), or simply using giant designer bags to ferry their personal effects through LAX.

First Chanel moved into online sales with its sunglasses, and following in its footsteps is Dior, one of the last premier-luxury brands to hold out on e-commerce. In a world where shopping online has become many consumers’ preferred method, it was only a matter of time before Dior took the plunge.
