LOL LOL LOL I am laughing so hard I can not type. What am I looking at? This must be a joke! It's a collage of every gross bag Louis Vuitton has ever produced. Looks like an angry salesperson decided to cut up all the ugly bags on the shelves of an LV boutique and to salvage them, the designers made the pieces into one single bag and called it the "Tribute Patchwork" bag (Tribute to what? Marc's insanity?). You need to make sure your boss is not around before you read the next sentence, as you will either laugh your ass off outloud or scream with disgust. Ready? Coast clear? The price tag is a hefty $42,000. Go ahead. You can now laugh or scream.
Update: I can't believe it! This bag has a twin and it's just as fugly! (but a bit less expensive at $38,000)
UPDATE- The Patchwork series of bags have soldout worldwide (one to Beyonce). Only 24 were made and have all been delivered according to a USA Today article .

That is one ugly Frankenstein's monster of a bag. The LV folks don't seem to have a high regard for their customers taste level what with the recent parade of handbag atrocities. Thanks BagSnob!

What the hell is that? $42,000? I am in shock they would try to sell something like this at that price.

well, I'm sure the vuitton group is very happy about some of the blind buyers out there (and they believe all the vuitton bags are in good quality leather), so they put this bag together on the scrap materials and trying to bet if someone is actually going to buy it....they were probably laughing their head off while making this bag

Hahahahaaaaa this is hilarious. Marc Jacobs and his crew must be smoking some very good (or very bad depending ...) crack to have come up with this. Ten bucks says we see Paris or Lindsay with this trash ops, I mean bag sometime soon.

Heeheeeeheeheee, I have been laughing all day. Reading Sesame street to my two year old son and seeing Grover's blue fur set me off too, look at all the blue fur on bottom right corner.
Kelly is soooo missing out. She's been traveling to Asia the last two days and her mother does not have internet so she's totally cut off from blogosphere.
Glad you're all as amused as I am!

By the way, I forgot to mention that this is the most expensive bag from Louis Vuitton right now. They probably added up the retail prices of each bag 'tributed' on this mess.

Are you sure that they did not kill Grover for that?
I keep looking at it, sure that I did not see it correctly, or that I missed something. There isn't even any exotic skin on it... at least I hope not.

Someone at LV to a Marc Jacobs: "I dare you to rummage around in the scrap bin, create the most god awful bag and price it for such a stupid amount of money people will think you was crazy!"
It actually looks like something my 5-year old cousin would make at school! Hideous!
If I ever see someone out on the street with that bag on their shoulder for the sake of everyone here at Bag Snob, I will grab them by the shoulders, shake them and scream "WHAT WAS YOU THINKING?!?!?!"
Thanks Bag Snob for making my morning :o)

This must be some sort of special project?? A social experiment?? A dare even?? Surely, they must have just gathered all of the leftover bits and bobs from other pieces and slapped them together with used chewing gum to achieve THIS. I can't believe this is even serious??

What's with all these patchwork bags? This is surely the sorriest piece of a bag I have ever laid eyes on. And the fact that this is from LV, and the price, just render me totally speechless.
Ever since the tacky, colourful and cartoony bags, the house of LV has been going downhill and has now hit rock bottom. And to think LV almost redeemed itself with the Suhali Lockit range.
Absolutely a disgrace.

Someone needs to go over to LV, wrestle Marc Jacobs to the ground, and pry the glue gun from his hands. It really seems to me that recently Marc Jacobs has been under the impression that he could pull lint from his belly button, glue it to a shoelace and that we will get on wait lists for one of our own. It's Orwellian and says something quite frightening about the powerlessness of some consumers. Future anthropologists will need to explain to us one day what is happening here.
Thanks Bag Snob for keeping the moral compass of frivolous girls in check!

Accessories that would be less expensive and more attractive than this bag:
Is it possible to blend them all into one bag for stupid socialites to drag around? That would be hilarious.

Conceptually I can see this idea working but LV have completely missed the mark so much they've wound up somewhere in the realms of a distant solar system. No one in their right mind would willingly give LV money for this atrocity.

THE PRICE TAG IS SO CRAZY.......THE NEW TREND TO PRICE BAGS STRATOPHERICALLY IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THERE IS NO WAY THERE IS ANY REAL VALUE EXCHANGE HERE. $2300. IS MY PERSONAL TOP PRICE FOR A BAG AND I KNOW THAT ITS CRAZY AS WELL . IT IS AMAZING WHAT BECOMES ACCEPTABLE AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME , WHAT WE BECOME USED TO.

This is seriously, seriously shameful. Shameful!!!!!! The whole thing is absolutely hideous but the blue fur is definitely the funniest part. It's like the bizarre soul patch or pubic hair of the bag. This should definitely go in the hall of fame.

What is the world coming to? Do you know what I would do with $42,000?. I would like to see which four Americans actually have their names on the list for this piece of crap. I guess the bag is so exclusive because they ran out of scrap bags to produce anymore.I have a couple of "IT" bags from past seasons and consider myself a purse junkie myself,but $42,000 for a piece of garbage?? I honestly don't think even Kimora Lee Simmons would go there!

Thank goodness only 24 made and only 4 are coming to the US. The scary part, it is said that celebrities are not the purchasers. I would expect a celebrity to be the only people stupid enough to buy this trash. Sadly, there are other stupid people out there with money!

This kind of trash are usually sold in night markets in side lanes for about $5 (at most). The people who bought them must related to the designer because they feel they have to support him - as nobody in their senses will!!
