Viviers Cut-Up Bag - Would you???

Roger Vivier and Ines de la Fressange think they have it all in the bag.

Has Ines de la Fressange been hanging out too long at the Home Shopping Network??

Customers can select either a black, purple or gray base color for the bag.

Then they can add cutout letters or numbers in myriad colors and fonts to emblazon the bag with a name or message.
“Real luxury is a unique item that is yours and yours only, that cannot be duplicated or copied,” said de la Fressange.
“You pick the color of the bag, then letters, font and symbols. It’s great for men who have no idea what gift to give — and in a world where everyone has the same thing, it’s good to know you’re the only one who has it.”
The Cut Up Bag is available by special order at Roger Vivier boutiques and retails for $1,875.

No offense, Mr. Vivier, we’ll pass. Very quickly.

Will fashion ever sober up because of the economy or is it just a slight crimp in its style? From Sex and the city, which had women in droves to the movies, to the sad closure of many retail giants, 2008 will remain an eventful year in Fashion. Review what the best trends (Black lace as seen in Prada’s a/w collection ) and the worst (baby high heels) were in fashion in 2008. (Telegraph)
