This section is dedicated to random items which give us no clue as to what their actual purpose in this world is. Our first selection has been called "utterly exclusive" by the designer's camp and "Frankenstein's Monster" by fashion week critics. Without further adieu we introduce the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag.
First of all the name is so long, it begs for ridicule. How would you tell friends about your purchase? "Oh hi Buffy, you'll never guess what I bought today, the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag!" or "Hold on, I hear my phone. It's in my Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag." If we're lucky, the name will be cut down to a well needed, but still too bloody long, acronym like the LVTPB which sounds more like an STD than an accessory.
To be fair, before we dismiss this intriguing mish mash of art and commerce, let us mention that the handy dandy LVTPB retails for a cool $45,000 and is already sold out. To the waiting list with you hipsters! What we keep trying to imagine is, what could we do with $45,000? Buy a bag? Invest in house! Buy a bag? Buy a car in cash! Buy a bag? Pay for a child's education - ANY CHILD will do.
Here's an idea Louis, give us $45,000 and we'll make you a bag with some old locks, purses from our grandmothers' very large collections and two strands of fake gold chain from our favorite neighborhood Vanilla Ice. You get street cred and we get a chance to make some wiser investments.
