Lame Totes
A woman/man who carries this tote. Hmm. Is it pretty? No. Is it stylish? No. Is it crass and made for people who need to associate a luxury brand with themselves? Yes. It is useful, but so is the blue, tarp like Ikea bag that many people have. Why pay $180+ for this? There could only be one reason–LOW SELF ESTEEM.
Below is another we see TOO often. Ah, this one comes with a zipper. So why le pliage over any other tote with a zipper? Not sure. At $125+ it’s not something you pick up with utility in mind. Just another plastic looking, nylon bag (costs like $1 to make). Is this beautiful? No. So, it’s not beautiful…
I don’t think anyone recognizes the other Longchamp bags, the ones where they paid Kate Moss tons of money to sell. Who do you think you are carrying such a dumb bag?
Below> A Lauren Bush original. Yea, yea, this purchase will feed people. So will giving change to the homeless. I’m pretty sure most of the women/men who own this do not give change to the homeless. It’s also ugly. No, I don’t think Lauren Bush should design.
Below> Seeing this TopShop “Use Me” bag–the hypocrisy! Anytime I see someone with recyclable/reusable totes, they look brand new. I’ve used my cotton tote for over 3 years, it’s been used, and it looks that way. Shredded…why not use bags that don’t say “use me” and instead, lower carbon footprint by not creating these stupid bags in the first place?
I guess fashion has to get by somehow…
