Glamazon

I have never been a fan of bedazzling. I’m not even a fan of rhinestones. So you can only imagine my reaction when I saw the picture above: ‘Oh. My. God. People actually bedazzle their Birkins?’ I was about to have a heart attack. I couldn’t think of anything more disrespectful of an artist than to alter his/her creation in an extremely distasteful manner. It’s like graffiting a Picasso.

If you can believe this, this bag is actually designed by an upcoming brand Leah & Bliss. It may not be a Hermes Birkin bag, but it definitely is a look a like. Leah & Bliss are two friends who have designed this bag and tested their creation out on the streets of New York. After many compliments, they have decided to create a company where they now make bags of real leather and hand-make the stone work. This particular bag is called Glamazon and comes in two sizes and in many colors. This bag retails for $495 for the larger one and $395 for the smaller size.

You know my opinion. What’s yours?
