Move over, Louis Vuitton because the latest logo on handbags is the Teletubbies! These cute little creatures came to prominence about 10 years ago when they had their own show that became popular with the toddler set.
In 1999, they became even more popular among the hip when the Rev. Jerry Falwell "outed" one of the characters, declaring that he had the voice of a boy but carried a purse and was therefore gay (The Teletubbies emphatically stated that it was a "magic bag").
Isaac Mizrahi noticed that the Teletubbies were back and bearing down on the Apollo Theater for a show and also invading trendy Greenwich Village so he designed a handbag featuring the colorful cuties. So far, 5 bag designs have been created and will be auctioned to benefit autism.
I am sure the designs will eventually hit the stores so watch for your favorite Teletubbie!
