Friday Faux Pas: Missoni Euge Bag

Have been a huge fan of Missoni’s iconic prints for ages! Which is why I am so disappointed with Margherita Missoni’s first attempt at designing handbags. She says that she was inspired by her girlfriends – the not-so-girls-next-door Eugenie Niarchos, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Lauren Santo Domingo and Coco Brandolini. Well, if I were Eugenie Niarchos, I don’t think I’d take the new “Euge” bag as a compliment. Is Margherita trying to hint that Eugenie’s style reminds her of a roadkill turtle? Because that’s what it looks like to me.

The rest of the bags don’t entice as many stabby/punchy feelings in me, so I won’t rant about those (though I would never ever buy one). And though Missoni is trying to appeal to a younger audience with this capsule handbag collection, would any of your sane neighbourhood young-ins spend $3,140 on the above-mentioned “Euge” bag? I don’t think so! For that amount, I can easily waltz into my local Chanel store and buy a 2.55…why the hell would I buy THAT thing? 

Am I not getting it? Do you hate me for hating this bag? Let me know in the comments!

    Yah, that’s a big old NO vote from me.. it’s not even cute.. It kinda looks like someone barfed the outfits of a group of teenage school girls on the way to prom and this is what came out.

    I am amazed that someone actually got paid to design this.

    hahahahahahah the picture cracked me up! :D

    and yes, ugly bag… even uglier with the hefty price tag.
    what’s wrong with the designers trying to “push the boundaries” these days?????
