Dolce & Gabbana Leopard-Print Satchel, Handbag of the Day

One of the hottest trends for fall is animal print and designers aren't shying away from making bold statements with the patterns. A perfect example is this Leopard-Print Satchel from Dolce & Gabbana. The large tote has a large, all-over hair-calf leopard print that is accentuated by the contrasting brown leather trim. The plainness of the solid colors actually makes the print "pop" out even more. Further accenting the bag are the gold chain insets on the shoulder strap and the leather tassels at either end of the bag. It has an open top with a slightly frayed edge, where designers may have been trying to add a touch of wildness to what is otherwise a very clean-lined bag. Price: $995.

That purse is so ugly... I would never pay almost $1,000 for something like that. It looks like something out of a Big Lots clearance bin... why do people freak out about ugly things just because they're "designer" items. How did these "designers" even get a job in the first place, msking crap as ugly as that??? It's just beyond me...
