Fendi bucket bag, hot or not?

Sometimes I fall for the strangest fashiony items, inexplicably ridiculous things that would never fit my life or my wallet. That weak-kneed feeling I get when spotting an Aston Martin on the freeway or noticing that a scruffy and sunglass-wearing Keanu Reeves has ducked into the same movie theater I am in also applies to fashion. I cannot have these things, and yet, I fall.

Case in point: here is this Fendi bucket bag with a Palazzo print. It's over-the-top, it's impractical, it resembles nothing more than a golden paint can that hangs awkwardly off the wrist. It would not be practical and I would forever spend my days searching for my keys at the bottom. And did I mention that it costs $1,410?

Am I demented or is this thing fabulous?

That bag is HIDEOUS. The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was...Ew & it looks like a paint can. I wouldnt wear it if it was free.

I'm gonna have to say "not." It looks kind of clunky (is that a word? I think you know what I mean) and although the detailing is quite attractive, it kind of reminds me of an urn or something.

I don't think so. To me, a bag is only as 'hot' as it is beautiful and useful. This hideous, over-decorated thing reminds me of my dear grammy's old winter drapes back home in Ocala, FL. The shape is awkward, and like you said, you'd have to turn it upside down and empty it four times a day on the hunt for cell phone, keys, mints, a tube of MAC Lipglass.

Don't be seduced just cause it's expensive. :P

i wouldn't carry it, but i know many of my girlfriends would love it. this is the type of item that belongs in a fashion spread, you know the unrealistic type: 8' tall tan woman, dripping in jewels, perfect hair, make up, dress that nobody can afford, on a yacht off the coast of Italy, sunset in the background, chiseled hunks grovelling at her feet, paparazzi swarming...oh, did i just describe the print ad for this bag or what?!
