Louis Vuitton Berlingot


Ring ring! Guess what did your neighbourhood ice cream man just bring in? Yep, it is the LV Ice Cream Bag! 50% vanilla, 30% cookies & cream, 20% blueberry, 100% BULLSHIT.

Does this remind you of something? Well for me, it reminded me of this popsicle / ice cream which I liked when I was young. Costs me 10 cents and I had to bite/cut off the top and then spent 10 minutes sucking the sugar water from the top. Sweet. Which begs the questions as to just where do LV and Murakami got their crazy design ideas from? The Indian ma-ma shop at Hougang Street 21?

Take a close look at this later piece of disaster called LV Berlingot. It is meant to be sort of like a small purse but comes with your standard LV tacky design hallmarks which also serve as a nod to pretentious luxury culture:

(a) bullshit cowhide trim (delicious irony here);
(b) typical Murakami crazy kid's drawing doodling;
(c) tacky goldbrass;
(d) crazy big-ass zip which almost takes up half the length of the zipped compartment. Must be for rich dumbasses with fat fingers.

If carrying expensive purses which looks like my childhood 10-cent popsicle excites you, let it be known that this thing costs a whooping US$235. If you still actually want to buy it, it might interests you that it comes in many flavours. My personal favourite is the DUMBASS FLAVOUR - which tastes like a mix of the "too much money" flavour and the "woman who is dying to be cheated" favour. Try it. You might like it.

I don't mind trying "dumbass" flavour if it is free.

I rather buy you those 10 cents popsicles. How about a hundred of those?
