Gaudy is the new Chic

| 4 Comments

Forbes added 100 more billionaires to their annual list this year, bringing the number to a record breaking 793 people worth a combined total of 2.6 trillion. So what do designers do? They immediately make bling-y tacky bags priced sky high to cater to the newly riche.

This Lil' Kim inspired Judith Leiber-esque bag from Chanel is breathtakingly ugly. With it's ghetto proportioned Run DMC chain handle, it's perfect for soon to be divorcee Kimora Lee to use when she goes out to catch the next hip hop mogul. Chanel is too embarassed to publish the price but it is furnished upon request, call 800-550-0005

This is exactly what's missing in every billionaire wife's closet! An extravagantly sequined, beaded, gaudy bag with skunk tail handle to flaunt her husband's wealth. Price too ridiculous to print. Call Prada 212 334 8888

For our single snobs looking to bag a billionaire, Forbes maps out the location of each billionaire by city.

  • Maybe they can hire the bagsnob for fashion advice.

  • Does the Bling-ed out Chanel "Lil Kim" bag come with the under-house-arrest-ankle-bracelet for that pesky "you are under house arrest for the first 30 days BS" the Miss Kim must deal with? Just curious...?
    Will Chanel bling that sucker out as a "Gift with Purchase"? Maybe the Gucci Handcuff bag might be a better choice. XOXOX,HK

  • Very very good site! You are doing great job.

  • I do not like the above style and many Chanels since many of them seem tacky but character assassinations are even more tacky. The some women here and poster above are down right venomous. I guess class does not come inside luxury handbags. A shame.
