WOULD YOU PAY US$290 FOR THIS BROWN BAG?

Ridiculous as it may appear but there are people out there who were willing to pay US$290 for the brown paper bag looking thingy above. What sets it apart is that it has the name of the fashion designer, Jil Sander printed on it.

During the designer's fall/winter 2012 runway show, she sent out models clutching this bag, named Vasari purse. For your information, it is essentially a brown paper bag that looks exactly like a brown paper bag, except for the price.

Information on the Vasari bag is that it is actually made of brown paper that is laminated with a protective coating, stitched in brown thread at the sides and has holes.

Aiyoh! What people will do to be regarded as fashionistas. Tsk! Tsk!LINK
