Wow… Is it just to me or this tote really looks cheap? It is not cheap at USD550. I think Prada should have known better than making a bag out of a dirt cheap looking material and charging USD550 just by sticking a logo metal plate at its side and printing a big logo at its front.

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.

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.

It is like a skin disease. Fendi ought to know that they could not sell anything just because their FF logo is on it if it is really ugly, let alone scary. And they are charging USD712 (after 20% off) for this. WTF???

The highlight for the Spring 2010 at least for the Parisian designers will be about obsession with youth. Representing the young generation, I will have to say we are open to new innovations and unconventional ideas but I do hope the designers do know that some of us have taste too. Here are some sneak peaks from Vuitton Spring 2010 runway.

Ok, what went through Frida Giannini’s mind when she designed or approved this tote for production? Maybe she hinted that she wanted a baby? Fine, it is cute, the Teddy bear serves as the compartment for the tote when folded and when not, it is the oversized charm that serves as an extra compartment too but will you buy this? Maybe as a gift to a newborn but at GBP205, it is not that cute to me. Available in black, brown green if you beg to differ from my take.

I hate to bash a classic and most of the time, I like what MJ does to update the classic Vuitton Monogram Canvas such as with the Cherry Blossom, Multicolor, Eye Love You and Graffiti but these upcoming version of Vuitton classic bags are really beyond my comprehension. First, fixing sequins on the Monogram logos already made the bags look too busy and not pretty. Then, what is with the awkward looking handles and oversized zipper? These bags will be priced at more than USD2,000 too. Will these bags really sell?
