Longchamp-inspired Prada Bag?

Seriously?? I mean I really love Longchamp Le Pliage and regard it as the most accessible semi designer bag that does not look cheap but for Prada to copy it is just incomprehensible to me. Prada has slacked lately and been producing cheap colorful nylon bags which are good as crowd pleasers but it is about time the brand will get diluted if they keep going down this road. Will you pay a Longchamp-lookalike Prada bag for 10 times the Longchamp price? I will NEVER. Price is SGD1,450 in Singapore.

What were they thinking? – Helmut Lang Bunker Tote

What do you think of this tote? It has nice color, good size (16″x 11″x 7″), made entirely of very nice calf leather and priced at USD875, which is a good price for the size and material. My only problems (two of them, in fact) are the two front pod pockets that shape like cups of a bra with zipper. It makes the bag look like it is wearing a bikini top. Anyway, if it is your thing, this bag is in stock at Barneys.

What were they thinking? – McQueen Samurai Print Tote

Seriously? Is there a real need to murder a bag this way? Yes, I get that it is a McQueen and it is theatrical and all those stuff but it is still a bag and you should not be embarrassed being seen carrying one. I will NOT be caught dead carrying this bag in my sanest mind. Will you? And did I say that it costs USD925?

What Were They Thinking? – Valentino Summer Flower Tote

Posted on by

After hits with its gorgeous 360 bag, Valentino has to miss something and when it does, it is just bad. The Summer Flower Tote is the example of a mediocre flower-fest idea executed poorly with expensive materials, resulting in an expensive piece of ugly bag. At USD2,690, I dun know which rich girl would be able to pull this tote off without looking rich and dumb (or blind?). I am sorry but this should go straight to the 95% off shelf.

What Were They Thinking? – Louboutin Spike Studded Shopper

Seriously… WTF?? I know some Gothic thingy could be fun and cool sometimes but this is like a Durian. I will just call this a Durian bag and it is not a pretty Christian Louboutin. I think this should be categorized as a hazard or a weapon and should not be allowed on a flight. Worst is it costs USD2,995. There is only one way a lady should carry this bag: when on the way to catch the husband cheating. If you happen to be one, I am sorry, it is available at Bergdorf for pre-order.
