Since my parents were born and raised in Munich and some of my extended family still lives there, I go there on a fairly regular basis. You wouldn’t necessarily think this, but Munich has some of the most amazing shopping. My fave boutiques, Theresa and Maendler, are located there and a new fave, Pool, just recently opened. I swear the selection is a million times better than anything I’ve found in NYC! The best part is while many of the brands are the same as what you would find State-side they’ve got bag models that aren’t widely available in NYC. On my recent trip I was struck by one trend in particular — the hairy bag! Everywhere I went I saw them. From Miu Miu and Givenchy to Thomas Wylde, it was total goat hair and lamb’s wool galore! Unfortunately I can’t find an image online of the Thomas Wylde handbag I saw at Pool because it was a sight to be seen. The size of a weekender, the bag had long, crimped goat hair hanging down and was topped off by an over-sized, crystal-embellished skull. I can’t for the life of me imagine who could pull that off tastefully…any ideas? Slightly less extreme is the Givenchy bag pictured on the left above (959 euro or about $1,400). I still find it to be a total slob, but at least it isn’t over-sized. Surprisingly though I actually like the Long Goat Hair Tote from Miu Miu (950 euro or about $1,400). If I had the budget to indulge in my every last bag whim I would totally buy it just for fun to spice-up a simple outfit on an all-girls night out (because who else besides girlfriends could appreciate such a bag 
).
What do you think about hairy bags? Snob or Slob?
It’ll be like carrying cousin It!
I could live with out this flea bag!
My girlfriends would laugh me out the door. And I would agree with them.
I hope to god this does not catch on. These are horrendous. I don’t care WHO is creating these. I am frightened for the day I find their even more unfortunate knock-offs in Forever 21…
ahhhhhhhh…real monsters!
Someone hurry! Get me a match!!
i think it’s just lack of imagination when designers come up with something like this. Slob!
not even Slob. more like Shlob!!!!
Slob! Looks like something I’d catch in a trap, not carry on my arm.
Does this thing have legs?
Why oh why why why why…….
YEAH! Theresa has an online shop http://www.mytherea.com and i love Miu Miu bag. hehehe… carrying a goat.
Nasty. Maybe a clutch with some bright feathers but bags should never be hairier that the person carrying them.
