Simone Camille is a line of handbags handmade by stylist Simone Harouche. The story goes that the stylist, who has an extensive collection of antique textiles, was tired of seeing the same leather handbags all over the place and so fashioned one for herself out of some of her treasured textiles. One of her clients, Nicole Richie, was so taken by the bag that she asked Harouche to make one for herself; this in turn inspired the stylist to start her own line of one-of-a-kind, handmade bags. I think it’s great that these are made out of re-purposed vintage textiles that come from all around the world, but the patchwork designs are absolutely hideous! They look like something I’d find in an Arizona Indian Reservation souvenir shop. Can you believe the bag above retails for $2,000? I certainly can’t!
