This Week's Obsession: Joy to the World
More Luxury Club is Here!
As the festive season unfolds, we're stepping into the role of Santa, bringing the gift of a dream MLC share to those who wish for it. If you've been caught up in the whirlwind of shopping for others, discover how you can join in our 12 Days of More, learn how below.
More was created to offer an elevated experience to anyone who is or dreams of being a luxury goods enthusiast. Wearing exquisite, high-quality items brings immense joy, empowering us and boosting our confidence. By embracing sharing over ownership, you can also delight in being financially savvy and environmentally conscious.
We envision 2025 as a year to amplify joy by embracing change. We all desire to invest in what we love, cherish it for years, and care for it. This shift from fleeting trends to enduring luxury is our goal, even as our busy lives often lead us to consume more than we need.
Imagine a world where owning the items you adore is both affordable and sustainable, with someone ensuring they remain in perfect condition for you, extending their lifespan and retaining their value. What could be more joyful? This is the gift of More that keeps delivering joy for years to come.
Why More Luxury Club Now?
Many would ask, “Why now?” This is an idea whose time has come. Fractional ownership has been popular in all other luxury goods categories for years, including luxury cars, yachts, private jets, and luxury holiday homes, so why not personal luxury goods? The club benefits designer brands, consumers, and the planet as we come together to have more through sharing. Circular models are more sustainable because our white-glove concierge service extends the products’ life and value we are able to increase the utilisation. As fewer resources need to be consumed, we can do our part to help reduce overconsumption in the luxury goods industry – it’s a win for all those involved.
Less Impact, More Joy
Imagine having more with less of an impact on the planet. Many people are taking up the sustainable fashion movement’s call to “buy less, buy better”, cutting their clothing consumption and investing in more circular models. According to research from the Hot Or Cool Institute, a Berlin-based think tank studying the intersection of sustainability and society, to limit global temperatures from rising more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels – and thus mitigate the worst impacts of climate change – we need to cut the annual carbon emissions generated by our wardrobes to 128.7kg. In the UK, that means we should be buying no more than nine new garments a year. In other parts of the G20, where the average emissions generated by a single garment is higher, the number of garments is five.
Our model allows you to co-own multiple items with less of the impact of owning one. For collectors whose major concern is budget, the cost of 5 co-owned items can be less than owning just one of the five outright. Either way, our community curates the items available in our monthly drops, so that those must-have bags are always available to co-own. But it's so much more.
Sharing Brings Joy
Sharing your love for luxury, sharing access to designer bags, and sharing a commitment to sustainability. Together, our community has created a way to own more, experience more, and connect more—all without sacrificing quality or style. When you co-own with More, you’re not just purchasing a luxury item; you’re becoming part of a movement. A movement that redefines what it means to own, cherish, and share the finer things in life.
Imagine a world where owning a Tom Ford-era Gucci Chain Mini Bag or a Dior Book Tote doesn’t mean draining your savings or limiting your options. With More, you co-own iconic pieces with like-minded individuals, giving you access to a collection of seasonal bags, timeless classics, and everything in between. And just like the PurseForum community inspires its members to reflect, rotate, and rediscover their collections, our co-owners are part of a movement that rethinks what ownership means. With co-ownership, you’re not just acquiring a bag—you’re sharing stories, creating memories, and embracing a smarter way to enjoy luxury. Joy to the World!

Love It or 'Hate' It?
Leopard Print Designer Bags
Leopard print is back in the spotlight...again.
As a child, my mother cherished her leopard print coat, a piece I hope was a convincing faux. It was her pride and joy, drawing compliments wherever she went. Today, it would be a vintage treasure, perfectly in vogue. Regrettably, I didn't have the foresight to hold onto it.
Recently, while Shika and I were spreading holiday cheer at Harrods, we stumbled upon a collection of leopard print designer bags. Although none captured our hearts, we couldn't deny the timeless appeal of leopard as a versatile fashion staple.
According to Pursebop, here are the top five:
1. Enter Alaïa’s Le Cœur — a heart-shaped bag that has been stealing hearts since its 2022 debut. Though classic shades like black and deep burgundy have proven immensely popular, the latest leopard-print addition to the lineup is poised to become the season’s must-have.
2. Among the YSL's most enduring handbag styles, the hobo remains a wardrobe staple. The Le 5 à 7 is leading the charge, a timeless favourite now reimagined. Originally available in classic-grained leather, this signature piece has been given a bold update with on-trend leopard-print pony hair, paired with sleek black Nappa leather details (above)
3. Channeling serious Y2K vibes, Prada expands its east-west handbag lineup this season with the aptly (if not creatively) named Medium Printed Leather Handbag. Offering vintage vibes with a blend of modernity, this bag is definitely a statement.
4. Hedi Slimane’s penchant for leopard print didn’t fade when he moved from Saint Laurent to Celine. At Celine, he continued to embrace the motif, giving it his signature rock-chick twist. The Claude Chain Shoulder Bag reflects this approach, reimagined in fluffy leopard-printed shearling for a seasonally appropriate take on the trend.
5. Showcased during the Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2025 runway show, the iconic Petite Malle receives an elegant animal-inspired makeover. This statement piece draws inspiration from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall-Winter 2016 Collection, reimagined in black calf leather and adorned with an intricate leopard print created from thousands of shimmering Swarovski crystals.
Our opinion is the love it is about the bag not necessarily the print. You have to love the bag first, then embrace the leopard version. We'd love to know if any of these are a must have for your Christmas wish list.
