Dog Purses Gaining in Popularity


The latest thing is a "doggy purse" which has gained popularity due to celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson. These bags allow you to carry your small dog with you and has increased the desire for small size breeds like the Chihuahua and the Yorkshire terrier.


According to animal experts, this is really not a good practice and can actually cause trauma and distress to your dog. Their point is that animals are living, breathing creatures with needs and not just fashion accessories.


Companies buying into this fashion disaster include Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Gucci. If you love animals, a better solution are our quilted handbags and backpacks in cows, dashsunds, turtles, frogs, and giraffes!

The Ugliest Handbag in the World


In my humble opinion, the ugliest handbag ever made was released in 2007 by Louis Vuitton. I know what you are thinking - how can such a savvy and successful handbag company make such a monstrousity? My answer is that maybe it was some sort of PR stunt - that is the only conceivable reason to release such a joke on the fashion conscious public.


The bag that has earned such drastic speech from me, a fanatical handbag lover, is the Louis Vuitton Patchwork Bag. This limited edition horror is made from 15 samples from their Spring/Summer cruise line series and all 24 sold out (at around $45,000 a pop) immediately. The individual bags themselves are really quite nice but mixing them all together? My only remaining comment is "What were they thinking?"
