Swiss designer Claudia Eicke claims to have reinvented the traditional handbag to suit the modern woman. The distinguishing feature of Eicke's versatile bag is a special tunnel compartment at the base that can hold a bottle of wine. This compartment can also fit a pair of high heels or a yoga mat. Do you think Eicke's revamped handbag is awesome... or a little unnecessary?

A Swiss designer decided that the traditional women's handbag was no longer fit for women who are leading an increasingly hectic lifestyle so designed a new one.

I guess it would be awesome for some women, but I can't think of a single instance when I would use this.

If you disregard the wine and use it for a different drink of choice (or other items) it becomes pretty awesome

Unless you are a functioning alcoholic, then it is pretty fantastic.

Functioning Alcoholic? WHAT?

reply
Brosia to wwe.sod... 2012/07/04 03:27:21

An alcoholic that can function in society. Instead of staring at a television all day, or slumped in a corner, they can still work a steady job, deal with a family, be a regular person, except they cannot do so without a steady flow of alcohol.

Therefore, functioning alcoholic.
