Ok, so this is a bit of a controversial one… If, like me, you spent a *little* too much in December, buying designer bags is just out of the question for a while. Well, I just discovered the wonderful Thusrday Friday bags, which should cure your designer cravings without craving the bank. These canvas bags are printed on 5 sides with images of… eh… well-known designer handbags. I know it should be SO wrong, but I think they’re great. I use freebie canvas totes all the time for grocery shopping, so why not step it up a notch and actually make it a statement? I don’t think this counts as copying, more like… an hommage to the real thing. It’s definitely much better than buying a knock-off or “inspired” version of the original.
They come in different sizes and colours, available from Thursday Friday‘s website from $35, as well as Chiltern St. Studios here in London.
What do you think? Copy-cat or ironically cool? Really wrong or so right?


The rumours had been swirling around for a while but now it’s been confirmed: Alice Dellal will be the face of the the new Boy Chanel handbag collection campaign. I love the new Boy bags – I wrote about them here – as they have a bit more edge than the classic range, so I think rock chick Dellal is the perfect choice.
Apparently, Karl Lagerfeld fell in love with his latest muse at a photoshoot several months ago and the collaboration was “self-evident”. The full campaign, shot by the maestro himself of course, will be launched in March 2012, but he’re a little sneak peek for you already!
Oh my, there’s no words. Karl Lagerfeld somehow managed to turn Lady Gaga into a classic fairytale princess. Gaga wore this custom made Chanel gown at the opening of Gaga’s Workshop At Barneys in NYC last night.
Just… wow.
