I will say that I did like the comment she made toward the end about a handbag being well-traveled and used for years, brimming with memories and experiences.
Some of these designers are certainly re-inforcing the commonly-held notion by many that expensive handbags are just frivilous and ridiculous. What about a classic but well-priced bag that one can carry for many years? Isn't that a better representation? Snarkiness well noted, but some of these bags invite it. With those bags held up as the pinnacle of 'fashion,' how could they not be a lightning rod for general criticism? It's just like painting a big bullseye around a huge category of women.
It's a bummer because I think a great handbag is an essential tool and a little pleasure in helping me get through my daily work and family life. It's just so easy to take that sentiment and trivialize it, and this kind of 'fashion' doesn't help...
And man, that bag is obnoxiously ugly...we're starting to see an inversely proportional relationship between style and price...
But no, I can't imagine ever paying anywhere CLOSE to this kind of money on a handbag...I think people have a right to spend their hard-earned money how they wish, but I wouldn't reward these designers by giving them one cent of mine...
