You paid HOW much?! Jimmy Choo’s ‘Dylan’ beach bag
The Fashion Police will be spending part of December lying on the beach getting some much-needed sunshine, so while most of our friends stock up on cosy sweaters and thick socks, we’ve been buying up flip flops and bikinis. And beach bags.
We haven’t been buying this one by Jimmy Choo, though, and that’s because this rather cheap looking see-through bag costs £495, and our actual holiday is costing less than that. Bargain. (The holiday, that is, not the bag). Oh, and also because we’re pretty sure that if we can hold out until next summer, most of the glossy magazines will be giving away bags that look just like this for nothing.
Would you pay almost £500 for this bag? If you would, you can get it at Net-a-Porter
.
WOW. That is really highway robbery for a cheap-looking, ill-designed plastic bag. If this was set beside a bag from the dollar store, I doubt I’d be able to spot the difference.
It looks like something of one those cheap off-brand Barbies would come packed in, along with her skimpy hot pink bikini and various other teeny beach accessories. In other words, not worth it.
Yuk! That’s the yukkiest bag I’ve ever seen. I’m sure it’s great ‘materials’ and high quality design and everything, but that is the yukkiest looking thing, and I would not even pay $2 for a gimmick copy.
Great blog btw!
