Juicy is ridiculous

Look, I'm not saying I didn't buy into the whole Juicy Couture sweatsuit thing when I was pregnant and couldn't wear much else. I even thought their line of children clothes was kinda cute but now that they are expanding into the bag market, my territory, I need to put my foot down! Look at these ridiculous bags. Looks like they scrounged the tartan fabric from the scraps of Marc Jacobs' grunge era in the '90s. And they can't even decide if they want to design single handled or double handled bags so they put both top handle and double side straps, yeah that makes a lot of sense. What about the crazy pom poms dangling off the sweater bag? Made for their chi hua huas to chews on? (cuz you know the designers of Juicy Couture only carry Hermes birkins) As if they would be caught dead with any of these sorry excuses for bags, they only make them for consumers who they think don't know any better. And get this, they are charging $325 -$425 for these obnoxious bags , how else are they going to pay for all their birkins? At eLuxury.

  • Ugly ugly, my 12 year old daughter wouldn't even carry it.

  • Actually one of their bags with the key charm dangle hanging of the side is quite cute.

    But it's not shown here, it may have been the only cute bag they ever made.

  • I thought Juicy Couture was sold at places like Urban Outfitters. $425 would give me sticker shock were I to pick up one of those cheesy bags, which come to think of it I wouldn't. Being of Scotish descent I am especially offended by the dreary tartan.

  • These bags may be rediculous but only because you picked the ugliest ones! There are some great leather bags at good prices + great quality...why not show these?! Because it isn't a traditional fashion house? Love reading bag snob, but I'm also a Juicy Girl!

  • I just ran into one of the Juicy designers, PAM (the petite blonde one), at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills and guess what she was carrying? An adorable 25cm Hermes crocodile birkin. Like I said, she wouldn't be caught dead carrying one of her Juicy bags and neither should you.

  • I am a Juicy Girl and have got quite a few of their things but i wouldn't even carry one of these bags. They are disgusting!

  • i think juicy couture is fablous what is wrong with you people who don't like it? i have 7 bags and 4 sweatsuits my friends love it and so do i

  • I laughed my socks off at this site...especially at that wildly expensive bag that resembled an intestinal obstruction. My horses produce better visual designs and still their creations end up on the manure pile. Thank God the rich have such execrable taste so that the penniless masses can be amused.

    Now all of you out there who might actually buy one off those things...remember, taste is something you're born with. It cannot be purchased. So give your money to charity and buy something beautiful, simple and well-made.

  • I am a total Juicy Couture girl! I LOVE their handbags, in fact it is only the handbags I buy, not the clothing. These here you have shown I personally like, I just bought their new "Madge" one yesterday at Nordstrom, when I saw it, it immediately reminded me of the Gucci speedy type bag I wanted so badly in the early 80s, along with the LV speedy I loved but hated because it was floppy and didnt hold its shape. It is velour and absolutely awesome to me! it was only $165 too. So what if Pam carries Berkin, if I had a line like hers, I would carry only Celine's or LV's or Fendi!! Why? because I would be able to manufacture my "own" at will, not having to worry about it being limited or whatever. Sorry guys, but I say hats off to Juicy! Look at the stupid new $42K LV bag, now THATS stupid!
