Does anyone own any of these bangles? I think they're so sassy and fun! I watched a recent Ebay listing and it ended up going for above retail!

Also, is it true Chanel ripped off Cushman's design? She now has a bangle that actually says "Ripped off by Chanel." I also read this in the seller's listing but I thought maybe she was fibbing.

I don't know who's came first...her's or Chanel's, but I think making one that says "Ripped off by Chanel" is cheesy. But I guess you've got to cash in while you can

Cheryl24 · Jan 26th, 2008, 04:31 PM

^^Yeah, I tend to agree. I definitely like the other sayings, not that one.

rosieroseanna · Jan 26th, 2008, 05:59 PM

Actually I think the Chanel one is awesome!

lulilu · Jan 26th, 2008, 11:06 PM

I really like them -- but think they look better in photos than IRL. They are kind of rough looking IRL, but maybe that is their charm.

supersash · Jan 27th, 2008, 11:55 AM

I've seen them IRL also, and they do look a little "rough". I kinda thought it was just that they got knocked around being on display

, but I guess that is the way they are supposed to be!

Cheryl24 · Jan 27th, 2008, 02:51 PM

Hmmm...regarding the "rough" look about them - do any of you think one color looks better than the other? I actually ordered an ivory one yesterday. I hope it looks alright IRL.

I bought the one that says, "Truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunchtime." LOL! That is so me.

Here's the Neiman Marcus link for them in case anyone wants to see the full sayings on the others:

I LOVE the supercali.. etc one and also the lions and tigers and bears... so cute.
I think the Chanel rip off one is pretty clever too...

noon · Jan 27th, 2008, 08:16 PM

I have never seen these bangles irl, but now im intrigued.

My Purse Addiction · Jan 27th, 2008, 09:02 PM

I think I saw these at Anthropologie, and they did look "rough" but I think that's part of their charm. I liked them, but wouldn't shell out that much money for a bangle!

Cheryl24 · Jan 27th, 2008, 10:58 PM

^^Believe me, I used a 20% off coupon code to order mine online.

My Purse Addiction · Jan 27th, 2008, 11:27 PM

^ Ah, gotta love coupon codes!

love_savvy · Jan 29th, 2008, 01:01 PM

Yup, Chanel "ripped off" her design. Here's a recent article.

I really love the bangles, both Jessica's and Chanel's version.

My Purse Addiction · Jan 29th, 2008, 01:25 PM

Anthropologie.com currently has 3 styles on sale for $80, in case anyone's interested:

Cheryl24 · Jan 29th, 2008, 01:52 PM

^^Ack! The one I ordered is cheaper at Anthropolgie.

But thanks for the link My Purse Addiction.

And thanks for that article love_savvy! Very interesting!! Plus I didn't realize the design stems from scrimshaw artistry. It makes me appreciate them a little more.
