Chanel Paper Bag

This Chanel Paper Bag, spotted by J&J, was seen roaming the streets in full understated glory. With a hand-drawn, bashed-up look, could this luxurious end-product be a reflection of one of the following:

1. Assuming it’s the real thing: Global recession cum Go Green-inspired designs have  finally filtered down the vertical processes at the House of Coco.

2. This is part of some retrenched-but still delusional-and persistently sikit atas (slight air of pretentious superiority)-Investment Banker’s Luxury DIY Domestic Collection.

3. Some Artist decided to spread the good word about the decadence of financial excesses, consumer promiscuity and irresponsible innovations that:

(a) triggered the downfall of the U.S as an economic powerhouse,

(b) have compromised the meaning of 20th Century Capitalism and stress-tested existing robust-but-irrelevant economic models, thereby sending not a few Neo-Liberal economists on a “Do Not Pass Go” path to the poorhouse or L’A.N.P.E.

Although unmotivated by the senseless pursuit of money in and for itself, she remains sadistically intrigued by the complex anatomy stealthily at work behind the whole spectrum of Markets – Fine Art, Financial, Fish and Fools. A budding art collector and supporter of emerging artists, she slogs to prevent collateral damage to her bank account resulting from occasional manic art buying sprees.
