Unacceptable...

I've noticed a trend of defacing outrageously expensive handbags for sport.

I know we're all trying to forget the Gaga/Birkin/sharpie incident...

I am ALL for art. I am ALL for fashion.

However in a crazy PETA way, I feel this is turning unacceptable.

I'm starting a "Save a Chanel Flap Bag" chapter where

I live and I urge you to do the same.

If you can't afford one, it doesn't give someone else the right to ruin one.

Maybe the two are irrespective of one another.

Maybe I just really want my own Chanel flap.

Regardless...

Agreed?

Alina said...: it is pretty crazy how its become "trendy" to draw and personalize designer bags now. maybe the fact that I don't have one of these bags is the reason I'm astonished anyone does it.

either way, I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this, I'm torn.

Cheers,
Alina

AGREED!; April 25, 2010 at 5:01 PM
Scientific Housewife said...: I agree, I will be saving for 10 years to own a Chanel bag and they are drawing on it!; April 25, 2010 at 5:34 PM
Jessica said...: It's so heartbreaking to see a classic bag defaced with a drawing that the wearer will be sick of in a few years.; April 26, 2010 at 7:25 AM
Taylor said...: Doesn't it make you cringe?; April 26, 2010 at 9:50 AM
Monica Rose said...: I feel you! I was a little upset when I saw what this did to this beautiful Chanel bag. Not ok at all!

Btw thanks for all the blog Love much appreciated :)

House of Milk said...: Definitely agreed! It's a true crime, perpetrators need to be locked up!; April 26, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Unknown said...: It's from boredom. Boredom coupled with too much money = sad.; April 26, 2010 at 6:54 PM
Jenny said...: Yes, agreed! I think it comes off as so smug to do such a thing.; April 26, 2010 at 7:20 PM
BonBon Rose Girls Kristin said...: I would kill for a Chanel quilted bag (2.55 if you're reading this my darling hubs, which I'm sure you aren't)...and to see people deface them gives me a sad face!; April 27, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Unknown said...: Agreed.
Not to mention that the new designs are not as elegant as the old designs so they're not even in production. They're practically ENDANGERED.; April 27, 2010 at 4:00 PM
Clare said...: I am telling you! We are blog twins!

And may I also say that when I first saw that photo I thought the exact same thing?? I was like. Wait, what?! Did they really just draw eyes on that glorious handbag??; April 28, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Kel said...: And they drawings are less than spectacular

This is what happens when people have too much too soon...they lose the respect for the "lovelies" such as a Birken and Chanel Flap Bag....
What they need is to remember the days that they spent drooling over the catalog, dreaming of the day they would own one, knowing that they only had $15 to there name....

shame shame shame....; April 29, 2010 at 11:38 AM
The Skinny Blonde said...: Maybe in this case it wasn't appropriate to draw on a chanel, but I have to say that you are wrong when you talk about "lady Gaga's incident"; you have to know that Hermès gave the chance to create your own Birkin, it means, that if you wanted the studs you could have asked for them. It was the maison to decide that and, believe me, a studded birkin is much more expensive than an orange one...; March 9, 2011 at 5:05 AM
