So it seems that Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are trying to resurrect the velour trend of the noughties: recently, the BFFs posted an image of themselves on Instagram wearing tracksuits from Kardashian's Skims line which got the Internet into a tizzy.

Its Lady D-Lite bag, the tone-on-tone/minimalist take on the Lady Dior with the all-over Cannage embroidery, has been refreshed for Fall/Winter 2020 in velvet (read: a more luxurious, softter and lustrous material than velour) iterations instead of its usual canvas.
