The sound you just heard is Marc Jacobs pissing himself laughing.

Do you like this story?

In case you needed proof that some people are bonkers and have too much money, the latest handbag from Marc Jacobs is that proof.

The Raindrop Besace bag is ‘inspired by’ a trashbag. The good news is that it’s waterproof which makes the pricetag of US$1960 totally worth it. And he’s totally laughing at everyone nuts enough to buy one and then carry it in public because it’s IRONIC.

According to fashion blog That’s A Fabulous Handbag:

Are you freaking kidding me?! A LV trash bag. This is why I think Marc Jacobs is off his rocker. He thinks the consumer will literally buy junk if it has a Louis Vuitton logo. This ‘bag’ is named the Raindrop Besace because it’s made from coated canvas (read: raincoat material), and thus waterproof. It has a removable shoulder strap in case you want to actually carry it like a trash bag. It’s being described as “utilitarian” by the loonies that love anything and everything LV. (No offence loonies, I like LV too, but lets call a spade a spade). This designer trash bag can be yours for $1,960.

Actually, I’m really relieved about this whole $2000 trashbag thing because the idiots fashionistas who bought Vivienne Westwood’s recent menswear collection ‘inspired by’ homeless people were really stumped about what bag to carry with their stained and threadbare clothes.

    I think it’s amusing and would probably buy one and use it for fun… If it were, say, $20. Not $2000. Eesh!

    honoestly if it didn’t have an orange ribbon, maybe a black or silver shiny one instead, it wouldn’t look that bad and I’d get one.

    For a $10 price tag though.

    So Zoolander, Kris2040 is right – it is Derelicte! It shows that fashion people don’t even know when they are taking the piss out of someone, who took the piss out of them first.

    Isn’t fashion supposed to be forward thinking? Because I distinctly remember this stuff from around 9 years ago. The collection was called “Derelicte” and it was in the movie Zoolander.

    Bahaha! We had our annual rugby and netball club pub crawl through Glebe on Saturday. We had a Derelicte theme – complete with Mugatu!
    People actually wore stuff they got (at Vinnies/Salvos etc) for like $5, and carried and wore garbage bags!

    a fashion line inspired by periods – now that’s keeping it real! Dark bottoms, forgiving tops, dresses with built in chocolate and naprogesic. Any other ideas?

    At first glance I thought perhaps LV had followed Ungaro’s lead in hiring Lindsay Lohan to be their creative advisor. How else do you explain this decision to produce high fashion wearable rubbish bags? If you dont use the bag for a few days, does it begin to stink and grow mould, and if so, does that cost extra? Is the shopping trolley part of the same range, and when will the cardboard box, mental illness & depression line come out, because that would really go well with the bag – just to get the whole “homeless chic” feeling.
    Just like alot of “high fashion”, this bag is ugly and ridiculous. I find it truly bizarre that the concept of being homeless, without consistent food and shelter, has now become the inspiration for a line of over-priced “must-have” accessories. But if we consumers go out and buy these items, then LV will be laughing all the way to the bank. How many of our co-citizens would purchase a handbag from target for $14.99 if it resembled a trash bag? But it’s Louis Vuitton, so it MUST be great. Congrats LV, time & money well spent NOT!!

    Can’t wait to see what celebrities will be sporting this latest “fashion” (and I use that term loosely). Instead of being ‘You are what you eat’, it could now be ‘You are what you wear’ (??!!). I love fashion – but this is ridiculous!

    I love it! It’s given me an idea! I’m going to get a bin liner and be a bit creative with it (because I am very creative) and turn it into a bag. I will get some letters for a logo and call it the G BUR bag (GREAT BIG UGLY RUBBISH BAG) and then donate the money to charity. In the US it would have to be called the G BUT Bag (GREAT BIG UGLY TRASH BAG). And $1960 for the price? Was that the year MJ was born? Oh it is all too much!
