I'm all for multi-tasking...and 'craft' projects that take almost no time or effort to accomplish...but British Vogue's suggestion to "get ahead" of next spring's satchel trend by tying a scarf onto your handbag to create a strap seems a little too lazy (even for me). Impractical too...you're either going to ruin a perfectly good scarf by attaching it to too heavy a bag...or create an impractical lightweight, too light to actually carry anything (and therefore failing to fulfill the remit of being a satchel). Egad, I'm turning into a craft curmudgeon...or maybe I'm just jealous of the Hermès bag used in this experiment... | ![]() |
Jesus, that's the best they could come up with? The imagination did not stretch as far as a belt? (Which would have been equally ugly, but far more functional.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, the scarf-strap thing seems structurally unsound. At least braid them or something, not that scarves are designed for the kind of grime they'll accumulate from shoulders and hands. I love the quote, though.
