It's true that many women yearn for the days of their youth, and many companies capitalize on this desire by creating products that make you look and feel younger. I don't know about you, but for me "younger" evokes more of the post-puberty than pre-puberty years, but there must be some ladies out there wishing they still looked young enough to be playing in the sandbox...right?

Jil Sander must think so, because she designed a new purse that resembles a brown paper bag... and priced it at $290. I kinda think she missed the memo, but what about you? Do you think this upscale brown bag is wonderful -- or a total waste?

If you want to be "fetch" like "the plastics," then this upscale lunch accessory might be your best bet!

really? I don't know which is more pathetic.
The fact there are some schmucks out there that will actually buy this, or the fact that I can get the same thing for maybe a $1....with handles!

Now why doesn't she go to the local grocery store ..
they sell them by the packs for a couple dollars ..
(and then when they rip or get nasty .. just give them a toss )

If she changes her mind she can use another bag. Just think how expensive if it has the Coach logo.

Are people really that uncreative these days? I was embarrassed to carry a brown paper sack to school as a child, why would I want to carry one now? Honestly, a Dora the Explorer lunchbox would be more fashion-foward than this. Send it back to the kindergarteners where it belongs; with any luck, they may be able to improve it slightly with some glitter glue.

What a waste of paper bag just to make an ugly looking purse no one would buy for $290 dollars in a pink fit! The paper bag purse is also a bad idea because it could attract a potential theif to come and rob you!

Someone needs to design a 'garbage bag' purse; that would be more appropriate, LOL! Women will buy doggy doo, if you tell them it makes them look better; it's just sad. Men would do the same if they thought it would get them laid.

Yeah, because it's ironic for something so expensive to look so cheap. :) Like those travel mugs that look like Styrofoam cups.

If I saw that somewhere I would probably chuck it in the recycling bin, being eco-freidnly and all...

Then the person who spent $290 on that bag would set fire to me.

I don't want to burn to death D:

Do you remember the "pet rock" back in the 70s? A whole bunch of idiots paid for those (tho they weren't quite as expensive as this paper bag purse). LOL

Being born in the 90's, I never knew they actually sold those. I had a pet rock as a kid; I picked him up out of the dirt in my backyard. Give him some googely eyes and a magic marker smile, and viola, I had a responsibilty-free, cost-free pet. Wow, people really will buy anything.
