In this picture, Brigitte Bardot looks pensive and melancholy -- like she just broke up with a beau or forgot to call her Mom on her birthday. Perhaps she’s pondering the inflation rate of purses and wondering how a clutch like the Fendi box clutch can cost $1,490 this season? Or how the Bottega Veneta Karung fan clutch (see right) can fetch $1,980? Are you outraged by the current price of handbags? Does the idea of spending $3,000 on a purse that Vogue will hautily deem ‘passe!’ in three months make you seethe? Post your thoughts on the current state of fashion--damn it or defend it!
