In my humble opinion, the ugliest handbag ever made was released in 2007 by Louis Vuitton. I know what you are thinking - how can such a savvy and successful handbag company make such a monstrousity? My answer is that maybe it was some sort of PR stunt - that is the only conceivable reason to release such a joke on the fashion conscious public.
The bag that has earned such drastic speech from me, a fanatical handbag lover, is the Louis Vuitton Patchwork Bag. This limited edition horror is made from 15 samples from their Spring/Summer cruise line series and all 24 sold out (at around $45,000 a pop) immediately. The individual bags themselves are really quite nice but mixing them all together? My only remaining comment is "What were they thinking?"
