Purse? Does it matter? Who would want THAT? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222944 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:34:57 +0000 Joyce B 1222944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doormat.

That would be my guess. It's not a bag.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222909 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:47:54 +0000 Janet 1222909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! </p> <p>Well, after the hula hoop purse, one never knows... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222906 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:42:00 +0000 Helena 1222906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha leopardluxe, and I was worried I sounded too judgy ... because if someone really wants a Chanel-branded doormat and/or doormat-shaped clutch, well, to each his own!! But I'm with you, I'll stick with "Welcome", thank you very much Karl!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222903 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:38:29 +0000 leopardluxe 1222903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>torontogirl</b>, oh thank goodness! Cuz if that was an actual purse I was truly going to just declare fashion dead. ;-)</p> <p>..and for what's it worth, I think the idea of having a Chanel branded doormat is just frikkin' stupid, imho.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222895 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:29:38 +0000 Helena 1222895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if this article sheds some light (not sure what quality the Guardian is, I'm not familiar with it)? The quote below suggests that the idea is to mock (my impression) those that wear brands for brands-sake ... which imo is a terribly obnoxious criticism coming from a person whose entire life's work is about sustaining a brand ... so yucky on so many levels ...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/fashion-blog/2014/mar/04/supermarket-karl-lagerfeld-chanel-collection-paris">http://www.theguardian.com/fas.....nel-collec</a></p> <p>"The designer understands that branded goods which will never be available to buy on the open market are the absolute pinnacle of desire in a materialistic world. His silent statement – brand anything with the Chanel stamp and they will want it – played out predictably at the end of the show. Fashion editors charged into a scrum in the bricolage aisle, literally fighting for a doormat bearing the words "Mademoiselle Prive".&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222891 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:22:30 +0000 Niefern 1222891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Desperately looking for the "shock factor"?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222889 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:21:09 +0000 carter 1222889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the guy behind her is wondering what the heck she's doing carrying around a doormat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222887 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:19:02 +0000 viva 1222887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha! That must be a doormat. Seriously! Or maybe a big clutch for her huge credit cards? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-this-isnt-a-purse#post-1222885 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:17:48 +0000 leopardluxe 1222885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surfing around Pinterest this morning and I stumble across this photo from Fashion week. Please someone tell me that isn't a Chanel purse. It looks like she is carrying a Chanel branded&nbsp;doormat.</p> <p>While I love funky and maximal style in general,&nbsp;I honestly can't even figure out what that thing is supposed to be! A purse that doubles as a take-it-with-you-doormat to wipe your feet on between fashion shows?</p> <p>&nbsp; </p>
