Chanel is one designer name almost always associated with class. For decades the French fashion house has been the name in couture, and they’ve consistently produced timeless pieces that influence style in all forms. Recently Chanel put on their Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show, which featured a number of amazing looks (just check out those shoes in the above photo). But one accessory has been generating lots of attention…and mixed reviews. It’s being called the “hula hoop purse,” and you should let us know what you think of it!
Though it’s far from practical, I love this bag. It’s fun and eye-catching, while still managing to be sleek and minimalist. Even though lots of fashionistas are making fun of Karl’s latest creation, I adore it. Maybe after I pay to fix the computer that I spilled coffee on, this will wind up in my closet. (HAHA, JUST KIDDING. But maybe if I win the lottery.)
Is this purse a hit or miss, Lovelies?

It’s a cute idea, but it’s just way too big. I think maybe half of that size would be more practical.

For the runway I can see why it works. In stores, i don’t think it’ll sell

I don’t care if it is a Chanel purse, it looks ridiculous.

Crazy fashion
guest
it’s so practical!

I understand that fashion needs to be constantly changing and is always looking for the next best thing but really? come on! If I put it down my stuff might roll away! It’s very impractical in the fact of how bulky and large it is, but perhaps that was the goal; to create your own bubble in a crowd of people who are avoiding your purse! haha!

no. just no.

Sigh.

i’d really like to see someone using that in the streets. that would be awesome.

@heart_leigh@xanga - This. Even that poor model looks confused about what to do with it.
BUT on the other hand, weird stuff in fashion is more fun to look at!

I would enjoy the hoop part if it were usable, but the purse is fugly
guest
it is obviously meant to appeal to the attention seeking socialites
it reminds me of that neck brace that conan o’brien wears during his “In the Year 2000…” segment
guest
Total miss ! Just like this one. Φ ≡
guest
I would never buy such a thing but I love it.
If I saw someone walking down the street with that it would make my day.
guest
maybe if they just managed wallet is sized ones?

Imagine trying to get on a bus with that. Oh, well, I guess if you could afford it in the first place, you wouldn’t be riding the bus. You could just have your second chauffeur follow your limo with it in the town car.
I’m gonna go wang my head into something now.
guest
That thing is awkward, impractical, attention seeking, too big, and over-all unattractive.
guest
MISS!
guest
I think it’d actually be kind of cute if it were WAY smaller. This is just ridiculous.
guest
Did you just call a purse that appears to have a 4ft+ diameter “minimalist”?
guest
not for me. but it looks fun on the runway!
