Does This Now Mean We Are Fashion Innovators, Too?

Kelly Osbourne stropped her way to the laundry in London clutching what looked like the sort of red/blue/white-checked plastic bag we all use for washing day, moving house, hiding bodyparts, etc.

The bag was, however, the Louis Vuitton limited edition version of pretty much exactly the same bag. We saw a photo of it accompanying an article last year and just assumed it was a bit of clever Photoshoppery, but evidently we were wrong.

The exclusive label has launched a limited-edition designer version of the oversized checked plastic bag, which has long been famous for its practicality rather than aesthetic appeal.

At first we thought it would be a finely-woven leather version of the bag, but in some sort of Dadaist freak-out, it’s just plastic, like the $2 ones.

You know, these ones. Yup. For £1200.

As Patrick Stewart so sagely said, it’s too late; we’ve seen it all.

Looking forward to the Prada ‘green bag’ and the Balenciaga stubby holder with a sand-covered bare male bum on it.
