I’m sorry, did I say Marni could do no wrong? Apparently it is time for me to eat my words (or my computer). I have no idea what is behind this cookie monster madness of blue fur; creative expression is one thing but this is totally bizarre! Consuelo Castiglioni is known for her quirky funky style but this time she (or her accessories designer) has completely gone off the deep blue end. Check out the details for yourself $2,065 at Brown’s fashion.
Tell me what you think (because if any of you finds this appealing, I’m curious to know why!)– Snob or Slob?
Slob. Was Mrs B absent when Brown’s bought this?
What I don´t understand is why the plastic handles while there is real fur and leather? I don´t like this one.
I think it’s fun without being too juvenile–it looks very tactile, unlike other fur bags, and the shade of blue is a lovely contrast with the brown. Who doesn’t want to sometimes glance down at an item they’re wearing/carrying and smile at its sweet craziness? It’s a reminder not to take it all too seriously. Keep the outfit simple and that bag would be great.
Maybe it also doubles as a creative floor pillow? SLOB!
I am quoting my 3year old daughter “Is it alive?”
xoxo
It can double as a pillow when you’re traveling! Brilliant!
it’s so awful but would be cute as a pillow for my 5 year old son as you guys suggest! haha
It might be fine for a teenie bopper but for mature adults, I thinks it a bit tacky.
It looks like the shaggy blue carpet from the Brady Bunch Days!! I think I will pass…
Is it a toilet seat cover? If so, I would prefer burnt orange
or avocado green.
I’m working right now (the lonely Canadian working on Thanksgiving – bummer) but your comment totally perked me up. Kudos!
I adore it. It’s fun and quirky but with the right outfit still very chic. Only the eccentric do apply though, obviously.
After you posted i called the NYC Marni boutique and asked if it came in any other colours and they said they have it in a gray with a yellowish lucite handle. The SA also said the price was $2500 so quite the mark up compared to Browns, unfortunately.
I’ll definitely be thinking it over.
I love the Cookie Monster image at the bottom of that post! Hilarious!! Well, for those of you who celebrate Halloween, you could go as Cookie Monster’s girlfriend. This bag would be perfect for that outfit!
Marni – you failed me again. Boo hiss!
it’s more like cookie monster’s killer. They practically skinned him alive to get that gorgeous blue fur!
despite that…I kinda like it lol! 2500 bucks like it? eh, no. but it IS fun.
You are so right about the cookie monster similie…And yes we might use it for pillow…but that will be one expensive pillow
It is a total slob! It will be carried by those with money, not taste.
Well, I think we sold purses like that in the children’s department of the JC Penney I worked at in college. That being said, I loved them. They were really soft. And even though that bag doesn’t really look like it cost as much as it did, I don’t hate it.
Looks like a tribble from Star Trek with a blue dye job!!!
sweet craziness??? this thing is gross!!! and the price only accentuates the hideousness of this furry monstrosity
good call on the cookie monster pic below!! haha
I feel terrible about the alpaca that has gone into this bag. I’m not sure about the manufacturing process of the bag, whether it involves killing alpacas, but the entire creation is pretentious to the point of nausea. And at the tune of two thousand dollars? Who are they kidding? More and more, I’m beginning to believe that designers overcharge, but take consumers on a ride. It’s not like they’re creating anti-matter. It’s a bag made from alpaca wool ffs.
I somehow KNEW that Cookie Monster would make his way
onto this post…LOL
OMG I LOVE IT!!! its soo much fun!!
