Fashion that Makes Us Sad: Jimmy Choo’s Lizard and Raccoon Bag

This Jimmy Choo bag made of raccoon and lizard makes us very sad.

Most people associate Jimmy Choo with stunning sandals and heels, but every designer makes mistakes. There are so many horrible elements to the Whipstitched Fur Crossbody bag, we're just going to start listing them off.

1. Raccoon tails. Plural. Because the tail of one nighttime bandit is not enough, Jimmy Choo has used a whole family of raccoons to uglify your bag and pick up lint and debris wherever you go.
2. The twisted rope serving as a strap. It should be holding back fancy drapes.
3. We count six tassels. There may be more!
4. Somewhere buried beneath this mess is lizard skin. More beautiful wildlife destroyed for a useless purpose.
5. The bag is only 6" x 6" making it not only cruel and hideous but also impractical.

The bag is on sale (no surprise there) for $1,336 marked down from $1,995 at Neiman Marcus. We can't think of anyone who would carry this thing. Can you?

Fashion that Makes Us Sad: Urban Outfitters' Anti-holiday Sweater

Urban Outfitters is selling a holiday sweater adorned with drugs and booze.

Forget images of Santa, reindeer, or snowflakes on your holiday sweaters-Urban Outfitters has a different interpretation of festive attire. Your holiday vices may include egg nog and a few too many gingerbread men, but the folks at Urban are kicking it up a notch and embrace pills, marijuana, mushrooms, beer, and cigarettes. 'Tis the season to be... high and wasted?

We know Urban Outfitters loves to be "ironic" and push the envelope, but we fail to see the humor in this "Relaxed Pullover Sweater." It may be on sale for $49, but whomever wears this sweater may wind up a little more "relaxed" than we'd like to be.
