On Trial: Tiny little ankle bags at Chanel

I know I'd be no more likely to strap a tiny handbag to my ankle than I'd be to buy a pair of shants, but the question is -would you wear one? Karl Lagerfeld obviously thinks you could be tempted, hence the inclusion of these little ankle-bags in Chanel's S/S 08 show, but is he right? Personally, I'm uncomfortably reminded of those house-arrest leg tags (again!) and I reckon cankles are never a good look, but what do you think?

Makes me think of ankle weights for jogging.

He must have created them for Lindsay Lohan's alcohol monitoring bracelet.

Didn't you run a no no about someone else doing this but with cellphone holsters. That's what this reminds me of. No NO NO

I vote no.

It totally takes away from the lines of your leg, and distracts from the very cute shoes that they are wearing.

I think on the average person they wouldn't look _terrible_. .

. .I would personally only wear them if I were in a select mood - when high on crack, for example.

a new fashion for middle-aged tourists, perhaps? maybe replacing the fanny-pack once and for all in the fashion hall of fame.

ahahah.
Maybe that's the point, what with all the celebrities in those anklets lately?
Now you too can look like you got charged with a DUI!
