Karl Lagerfeld's Spring Bag Collection Preview
I really should re-name this blog Dresses and Karl Lagerfeld. Well, another day, another news bit about Kaiser Karl. Right in line with the NY spring shows is a preview of his Spring 2009 handbag collection for his namesake brand. His press release states the line is "inspired by the designer’s passion for modern architecture and photography, and especially by his spirited lifestyle and iconic personality." Some of the styles feature handles with cut-outs the shape of Lagerfeld's ever-present sunglasses, which I guess is a literal interpretation of the "iconic personality" part of the inspiration.
The collection includes 42 designs which were approved by KL himself (well, I should hope so, his name is on them!). Prices range from 'you may be able to afford the plainest and smallest one' to 'you'd better start selling drugs'. Or, in currency, $585 to $3000 U.S.
Is it my sluggishishness for having eaten 'The Feast' at an Indian restaurant tonight or are these bags really rather 'meh'?
