Whether you’re the Romantic writing about your latest obsession, the Realist advancing your career, the Lady planning your next dinner party, the Lover making Manhattan your playground, or the Dandy hunting the hautest handbag—Spring and the City speaks to every personality. Which one speaks to you?
The Romantic
Choosing a Baguette she can carry over one she can eat, the Romantic loves fashion as much as her latest romantic fixation. A haute mess, she’s looking for love, luxury bags, and the best cosmopolitan in the big city. Like the perfect romance, she believes the perfect handbag is always worth the wait.
The Realist
Reliable, relatable, and resourceful, the Realist relies on herself. Level-headed with elevated bags, she carries herself and her Chanel clutch with purpose. Whether a handbag or a high-powered career, she invests in what she loves, knowing smart investments always pay off.
The Lady
The Lady believes in fairy tale endings and traditional values. She’s a dreamer with a demure demeanor. She’s a classic with a penchant for the classics. She’s a lady with a Lady Dior. For her, ultra-luxury is not about making a statement but upholding a legacy.
The Lover
With a taste for the finer things, the Lover indulges her senses, including her sense of fashion. A professional powerhouse passionate about pleasure, the Lover knows what she wants and how to get it. She views luxury as a way of life, carrying herself and her Birkin bag with confidence.
The Dandy
It wouldn’t be a show without the Dandy, darling. Distinguished and discerning, he’s never afraid to experiment. With an eye for fine details, he’s as sassy as he is sophisticated. He takes a Mini Kelly to major events and a Bottega Veneta Andiamo on his daily commute. His collection is high-end and highly coveted.
Your New York Moment
Are you the Lady who plays by the rules or the Lover who plays for fun? Are you the Romantic in a love affair with fashion or the Realist who is married to her job? Whoever and wherever you are, we suspect more than one Spring and the City bag has stolen your heart.
