on the left, we have the classic birkin bag by hermes.
\non the right, we have the brand new\u00a0peekapoo bag by fendi for spring 09.<\/p>\n

the birkin is an iconic bag with a history. but, it’s not the most user friendly bag to carry around – you can barely put it though your shoulder, and that closure is not form-follow-function to say the least. (how many times have you seen the bag wide open with 1 strap on the shoulder with the other falling off?) well, one thing for sure – the waiting list is more than 2 years.<\/p>\n

now, why would fendi referencing such a thing? they don’t need to be\u00a0on the coattails of hermes long history, heritage, nor their projection of quality (leave that to the chinese, like me). and it’s not even a great functioning bag. is that any truth to the karl\u00a0lagerfeld\u00a0retiring rumor then?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
