Alexander Wang ‘Eniko Gunny Sack’
Ok I know this is called a gunny sack which brings forth images of fashion unaware potato farmers and burlap. Not exactly edgy. Or is it? You gotta be pretty damn confident with your place in fashion to name something “gunny sack”, and Alexander Wang can be that smug these days. This doesn’t look great … Continue reading “Alexander Wang ‘Eniko Gunny Sack’”
Cheap Monday Big Envelope Bag: Snob or Slob?
I’m on the fence about this Cheap Monday Big Envelope Bag ($55). I really want to want it, but it’s just too big!

Ricci is featured in … Continue reading “Donna Karan Eldridge Tote”
Moschino Cheap and Chic: Not Cheap and Not Chic
The late Francisco Moschino was known for his whimsical sexy design in the 1980’s. That being said, this Moschino Cheap & Chic Borsa Tracolla Shoulder Bag doesn’t seem sexy or whimsical to me. The boring color, the dated double adjustable buckles on the flimsy straps, and the sad shape of a tourist travel pouch just … Continue reading “Moschino Cheap and Chic: Not Cheap and Not Chic”
