The newest addition to my collection of ugly bag inventions is this new Louis Vuitton New Age Traveler. I am quite confused because I don’t exactly know what I’m looking at. At first glance it looks like a monstrous creature in an egg. I see tassels, fringes and telephone cords everywhere with perhaps a crocodile skin flap over and a camouflaged monogrammed body. Maybe there’s a story behind this bag. Maybe there was a boy who spent his life savings to buy a LV backpack and one day all his phones were gone, so he went berserk and did something he’s never done before. Perhaps because he was so desperate for phones and had already spent all his money, he went to a telephone store and stole all the phones. After realizing what he had just done, he was appalled and thought he could make his LV bag filled with stolen phones less noticeable by stuffing tassels and fringes in it as well. What ever the concept is behind this bag, I will never understand. Marc Jacobs (he is currently the designer for Louis Vuitton), I am very disappointed again.
Another shocking point: this bag is selling for $54,500. I have no words.
