Now, I love a sale as much as the next person. I don't have anything against them, because they offer me the chance to save money (or really, to spend less of it, but who's counting?) on things that I like to buy. But man: the sale at eluxury was about as disappointing as it gets. It went from ugly, to fugly, to fuglier.
This gave me the idea of a new feature where I will post several bags from a specific designer, retailer, or trend, and divide them into three categories: good, bad, fugly.
Without further ado, the good, bad, and fugly from eluxury's handbag sale.

GOOD
Cute, basic black bag with a patchwork twist. You can remove the straps and then use as a clutch
Love the turnlock closure. Grey, like Mugatu, is so hot right now****************************************
BAD
By George, everyone's favorite swindler has done it again! Remember the completely overpriced red bag that involved attaching a handle to a sac of red fabric? This ridiculous "terry beach bag" was conjured up by the very same Martin Margiela. I think he walks around his house and thinks "hmm, what can I attach a handle to, mark up 1000%, and sell to department stores and online retailers? A towel! Perfect!". So, what's next for Martin? The new "convertible tissue box" tote? A shoe on a stick? A case of Bic pens attached to a long strand of dental floss?
This bag proves that designers should not use a boxing match as inspiration. 'Nuff said
No...just....no....(Michael Kors)
Requisite Juicy Couture bag, teetering on the line between bad and fugly

FUGLY
A valiant attempt at ethereal. I'd maybe spend $5 for this if I was going to a marine-themed party. Maybe.
Hmmmm, how can we design one of the ugliest bags in history? Camo: check! Fringe: check! Totally weird and awkward looking handles: check!
MJ: Did you miss that day of kindergarten when they taught that purple and orange just don't go together?
