The $1,000 trash bag
In Sunday's "On the Street" section of The New York Times' Style Section, Bill Cunningham introduced the world to the latest bag fad to hit Manhattan. The object of desire? A $1,000 black polymer bag by Chanel. As you can see from the photographs, this "it" bag bears an uncanny resemblance to a very expensive 13-gallon trash bag that just happens to have a chain handle and a double-C Chanel charm. (No doubt the latter explains the truly exorbitant price tag.) If you're interested in this particular Chanel handbag, you had best get in line because there's already a month-long wait list for this season's most preposterous "it" bag.
