I seem to love everything you guys hate. I have this and adore it. In fact I bought the whole collection. I guess it looks better on.

Well, I suppose if you were selling lollipops or needed a place to put any rolls of coins, you could stick a whole bunch through the loops. Then it would be a practical buy, right?

Kelly–did the designer think of eyelash yarn? Heh. Still would be ugly. I now do appreciate the thought now… but as a thought. Or perhaps a bag, with the ruffle trend that could work!

No. Ugly AND extra knitting just for ugly? Ah!

I very much dislike it. And I’d most definitely get the loops caught on everything.

It makes me think of either an angel or a falcon.

I’ve realised i like it a little bit because it looks like 30s fringing. Except it’s not.

I saw something about this when it was first on sale – Something about the designer trying to recreate or replace fur, with knittedness. (It might be a word – I use it a lot, anyway!) Not sure I understood it then, even less so now.
But it was from a graduate show. They’re always meant to be different and a bit quirky- surely not things real people would wear though! Why DID Topshop pick it up??

I’m always catching the sleeves of my kimono dressing gown on door handles (on more than one occasion I have sent a tray I’ve been carrying flying) – so yes, Evelyn raises a very good point. Those loops are a no-no in terms of practicality!
