Things you don’t want your handbag to look like
Window displays like this have stopped me cold a couple of times this holiday shopping season. Why on earth would you want a Coach bag that looks like a pair of underwear? Worse, underwear that’s currently occupied?
A Coach bag with a problem
It looks barely acceptable in its completely new state, but that little bit of slouch in the mall version makes a horrible difference.
UPDATE: I don’t know why this picture is coming out so small… Will see what I can do about that. But I now notice that it’s the “leg bands” in my photo that really give the illusion. Out of all of these choices, I don’t see one that exactly matches. The “Signature Duffel with Suede” seems to show off a nice little tush, though. :-)
UPDATE 2: It’s definitely the Signature Stripe Large Carryall. I have got to get over this obsession.

I think the real question here is: can you get actual underwear that matches?
(it would seem rather gauche to go out with a bag like that without matching undies…)

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to have a tighter and firmer hand bag. I’ve been trying squats but stuff keeps falling out.

So, along the lines of what Paul said… I wonder if people are trying to buy the butt they’d rather have?! (”Look over *here*!”). Sigh.

I think they just want people to think, “Nice package!”
(I slay me.)

Personally I’m more of a ’suitcase man’

To quote Lady Bracknell - “A handbag???” (Oscar Wilde - The Importance of Being Earnest).
This thread brings a whole new meaning to young, abandoned Jack having been ‘found in a handbag’. Not sure I want to think about that too much.
