Barneys Gets Fed?

1326733732_450da12185_m.jpg Lauren Bush's clever FEED Bag will soon hit Harrod's, where thousands of luxe London shoppers can help fund the World Food Programme.


Now we hear the FEED Bag might also retail in our favorite American wunderstore, Barneys.

"Lauren Bush has been trying to match the FEED Bag with the right upscale retailer, and it will probably be Barneys," shares a source, who adds the bag's fashion cred gets helped whenever Lauren wears it to a red carpet event, which is always.

Barneys New York seems to be the best fit for the sack so far, because of their commitment to youth culture, charity, and being a little bit cooler and more irreverent than other stores. Plus, the FEED Bag is made from simple cottons, which matches Barneys' new mission of catering to eco-friendly fashion.

We hope the bag does hit retailers soon, but those who want to swap their normal Christmas stockings for the bag (which you should totally do) can buy it on Amazon.com - each bag sold can feed a child for an entire school year.

I don't understand what's so appealing about this bag besides its charitable component. I cannot stand this bag's design, and I am tired of seeing Lauren Bush wearing something adorable paired with this hideous sack. I would never buy this bag, except to buy it for charity's sake and then stash it away and never use it because it just screams for attention and makes me think of horses strapping on a bag of oats, not underprivileged children being nourished for a whole year.

I bought it and I love it.

This bag is SO much better than the twatty Anya "Not A Plastic Bag" bag which was made in China, shipped in plastic bags and a true sign of stupidity.

This one actually does something, is great for carrying home dinner from Whole Foods and not nearly as ugly as Anya's smug version.

I'm all for it. Or you know, you could just donate the cash and carry around the Balenciaga bag you sold your soul for.
