The "No-Joke" Joke Bag


"Every time i meet a girl who can cook like my mother ... she looks like my father."
"My wife went to the beauty shop and got a mud pack. For two days she looked beautiful. Then the mud fell off."

Haha?? And I thought my cousin had a bad sense of humor. The pictured bag is one of the latest arrivals at Louis Vuitton's boutique at Salhiya Complex. This is the type of bag I refuse to spend a fils on. I would only accept it as a prank gift on April Fools Day, and on 2nd of April I would gladly recycle it to be used as a trash bag. I have to admit that the soft leather orange-ish LV python trimmed bag is practical in shape but has the most sexist jokes splattered all over it. I won’t be caught dead carrying it. The bag retails for KD 600+. If you think the bag is funny and would like to purchase it, they also carry a bigger purplish joke bag that looks pretty much like a shopping bag. It retails for KD 800+.

Moving on, I also found these LV runway pointy black patent pumps with pink rose patched on the front of the heels and visible stitching. The heels were a perfect combination of sexy and sweet. They are available in black and scarlet red for KD 338. Of course my picture does not do them justice at all, so I found another picture of them on style.com. But honestly? I wouldn't buy them for the summer?


Do you think LV's Joke Bags are funny? Or are you one of those people who find the beauty of the joke bag by how controversial and unfunny it is?

I reserved the pulp weekender which is part of the same line that Richard prince designed for LV. When it came into the store it looked like your typical counterfeit! this is a cynical ploy( just likes the jokes) that i wasn't about to fall for. Yes, its all a big laugh on the luxury obsessed culture we live in (Marc always plays that in his own line).It is funny,a bit tacky too but we don't have to carry it to laugh along lol..

I would love the bag without the jokes. The bag itself has beautiful features, genuine leather, it's a classic. The jokes . . . you are right, turns it into trash.

yes i totally agree with you. The bag is designed FOR women and plays sexist jokes AGAINST women. Which don't necessarily make any sense to me. I would never buy it.

please people, no one is making sexist jokes AGAINST women, the fashion world is made up of women and the rest is GAY! its just Marc trying too hard.. again. However, i LOVED the colored shoes (not the black), but they are sold at a plainly ridiculous price! (they increase prices of their products every year by 15%) 7aram, i could buy 2-3 superbly comfortable Pradas for that amount!

I think Designers are betting on WHO can make the ugliest bag and sell it. I swear todays media. I also thinks they raise the prices of ugly bags just to say, are you stupid enough to buy that excuse for a bag. Seriously how ever buys this trash can. They put the joike there for a reason the BAGS A JOKE :D. Seriously if LV gets this bag sold then they can sell ABOUT ANYTHING maybe drapes

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
