Fendi Crossword Patent Clutch
I use to suffer from Photoshop Nightmares. I’m not joking. You know you have spent way too much time playing around in Photoshop when you are dreaming about images uncontrollably being cropped and moved / layers and color adjustments flashing, etc. Uhg, I would wake up multiple times throughout the night feeling nauseous and dizzy. . . like I just come off a rollercoaster or something. I thought the dreams were over since they have long been absent, but then I discovered this dreadful newbie and they started all over again.

As you can see above, the bag is collaged together with panels of patent leather that are adorned with the oversized coated mirror-like leather Fendi letters. The bag is just plain ugly in my opinion. If the bag was solid black (or white) with just the polished silver tone metal handles then maybe, just maybe I would give it a chance. But still the $920 price tag makes me say “uhm pass”

I spotted this Fendi Crossword Patent Clutch a couple days ago and lately (last night) I had a few Photoshop Dreams where I was creating this bag over and over again only replacing the oversized Fendi Signature letters with the Bag Bliss Signature . . .

Bag Bliss Crossword Patent Clutch
Lookie what I made, it’s the e5 Bag Bliss designer clutch. The e5 bag is inspired off of the Fendi Crossword Patent Clutch – if you couldn’t tell.

Something tells me it will be a smash!

Louis Vuitton buys Aston Martin
New News: Louis Vuitton has purchased Aston Martin! I don’t know how many of you purse-obsessed-auto-lovers there are out there, but in case you are interested here is the excerpt from autoblog:

All the bids are in and the winning bidder has been revealed: Aston Martin is being bought by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the French luxury goods consortium that produces upper-crust products ranging from leather trunks and wallets to champagne and cognac… and now exotic luxury sports cars, too.

In placing the highest bid, Louis Vuitton beat out some serious contenders, including consortia led by Aston’s current boss, billionaire moguls and numerous heavy-hitting investment firms.

Ford Motor Company will reportedly retain 15% interest in Aston Martin when Louis Vuitton takes over. Although both Ford PAG and Louis Vuitton declined to comment to DowJones MarketWatch, the media outlet that broke the story, German car mag Autobild will be running the story tomorrow.

While there has been a history of fashion labels and automakers collaborating on special editions – including Aston Martin and Dunhill – the purchase of a stoic marque like Aston Martin is pioneering new ground, although Louis Vuitton does have an established history in sponsoring concours d’elegance.

Gold and brown DB9, anyone?

Exclusive VIP Fendi Baby Milo Cell Phone Strap
An accessory you may not want to shove in your bag, it’s the exclusive VIP Fendi Baby Milo Cell Phone Strap. Cute isn’t it.

The signature Zucca dressed Baby Milo was a souvenir to all attendees of the Fendi B Mix Party in Tokyo. The purpose of the event was to celebrate the launch of a range of spring ’07 leather goods by Venturini Fendi called B. Mix. The event was hosted by Nigo, the entrepreneur behind A Bathing Ape, who has over the years become a buddy-buddy with Venturini Fendi. Among the crowd of 700 stuffed in the Olympic sized Stadium was Kanye West with his Fendi logo shaved billboard head – why Kanye? why?

> Exclusive VIP Fendi Baby Milo Cell Phone Strap: The clock is ticking. Current bid is up to $105
