No one needs another bitchy article about the price of designer bags, I just found the pictures entertaining. If I had Posh's..or the Olsen twins money would I spend 40 grand on a Birkin? Maybe. I'd consider it an art investment. If that was a painting, no one would be bitching so much. I believe we can all think for ourselves and we don't need Amanda Platell pointing out the obvious. HERE. So, in the interest of humor, here are two really ugly bags. They make me laugh. How many rotary phones did LV kill for the Louis Vuitton's New Age Traveler Backpack? I hate LV, their signiture pattern is fug. And dude! The Raindrop Besace is a garbage bag! It's so absurd, it makes me hope I find one at a yard sale.

Eww~! that bottom one looks like The Predator!
It does!!!!! LOL!
Money can't buy good taste.
Both those bags are ugly. I can see a runway model holding one for a fashion show.
Yeah, those bags are fug. I told you awhile back I found a LV briefcase at a yardsale for $25 but I would never carry a LV purse because of the fug factor. But I do love my Kate Spade and Prada bags! I had never had a high quality bag and I'm sure these two bags will last a lifetime.
The only real bags I have, I bought used. I do love the quality, it's fun too.
I thought it looked like the predator too!
Those bags are ugly as hell. But they have a designer name, so watch for fashion victims like Victoria Beckham to carry them everywhere.
Perhaps I will take a black garbage bag, scribble on it with a red pen, and voila, have a bag for myself that's just as nice as the first one pictured.
I admit, I do own a Baby Phat bag myself but I got it for cheap ($40 at Winners) and I bought it because I love the pattern (checkered) and the colors (brown, black, and bright green), not for the name.
This post reminds of my boss's wife's funeral. Their successful lawyer friend gave her eulogy and had what he thought was a funny touching story about the deceased. The wife called lawyer friend all distressed one day and said she need his help. He just could not imagine what kind of legal trouble she got herself into! She just bought a purse worth the price of a luxury car. She wanted him for legal protection from her husband when he found out.
He must have forgotten that most of the attendees were working stiffs because he was the only one laughing at this heart wrenching story(not). Most of us left the church stunned thinking what the hell kind of purse cost $50K!!!!! Now I see it.
I have a watering can purse. It makes people smile when they see it and it has sparked all manner of gardening conversations with complete strangers. It was comparatively inexpensive but I bought it at the Art Gallery of Ontario (they have a nice collection of Group of Seven and Tom Thompson works). I think buying something in an art gallery trumps an over priced designer any day.
ICSillyPeople, that story was too much! Imagine buying a purse that expensive and imagine repeating that story to a large group thinking anyone would relate. Totally out of touch.
Anyway here's a look at a watering can purse. Mine is primary green.

I used to buy nice purses, but with the economy now there's no way I can now. I had Coach and Juicy Couture purses.When I wanted a new one, I would sell one on ebay and then get another one. There's also a coach outlet about a half hour away . They have a sale rack where you can get 40-50 % off clearance price. But again, that was then . Now I just look at them online and keep on moving.
rmemeber the LV bag that Carrie gave to Louise on the SATC movie? It was all kinds of ugly. It was too much going on for my taste. It would match nothing anyone was wearing. But thats not why women buy them. It's labels. They even saved that design for that movie so it would premier in the movie and be a surprise. It did sell well after the movie tho. It was very expensive. How long will you really like it? My daughter has a room mate, she gets new Coach & Juicy bags all the time. She throws them away after a few months or tosses them in the garage never to be seen again! On to the next fad!!! I always say be stylish & fabulous & classy. Not faddish. That never lasts. Class does!

Anyone reminded of "Zoolander"??? The "Deralict" line? Gawd, how awful. And this not a movie, it's for real!!! A trash bag for a purse?! Thats not new, ask the bag lady on the corner. She's had one for years! Jeesh!!!
ohhh. LOL YES it is the Deralic line HAHAAH... from zoolander.
Rich people will buy anything so they can be trendy. It will be thrown out in 3 months. Just like that post you had awhile ago DD about the fake concrete slab bed and table. So Rich folks can feel poor for a night.
I did see this lady one time with a purse made of old seatbelts. It was so unique. Weaved in and out with all different colors.
I rather have that kind of reused junk that something like those purses.
Frimmy, I checked out your link, those are actually functional. Cute.
I remember the bag from SATC movie. I remember thinking, oh, wrong color. So wrong.
that fugly as hell backpack costs $54,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marc Jacobs designed it. It's terrible. Looks like you would get it tangled in your hair & everything else!! The garbage bag has GOT to be joke. Who would buy that shit? Yep, somebody!
Well isn't that top one a pooper scooper?
