123 Fake Street

3in1bag1.jpgIf you still haven’t gotten your fill on canvas tote bags (was 2007 the year of tote bags?), there’s something kind of amazing about this “Fake Bag.”


A set of 100 of these guys were made for a Korean art exhibit called “Wake Up Andy Warhol,” and you can definitely see the pop art influence.

It comes with a bunch of ribbon prizes that you can affix to the accessory, and it can be worn in several ways:

One side has a graphic of the fake bag, and the other side has a graphic of a real Louis Vuitton bag and the text on the bottom reads “perfect.”

We’re not completely sure what to make of this bag, but we’re intrigued.

Would Richard Prince approve of the spoofing?

Yes, very cute. I emailed this to you guys a couple months ago and I'm glad it finally got posted!

I had picked one up from Poketo but it still lives in it's packaging... I think it will not be used but simply added to the "archive" or collection of "artifacts".
