D&G Dolce & Gabbana 'Wendy' Patch Shopper - It's So Ugly, We Need a New Word for Ugly

Leave it to D&G to something that combines many awful, awful, awful handbag trends into one awful, awful, awful handbag. Congrats, D&G: you have conjured up one of the ugliest bags to grace the cover of Bags for Bitches.
  • Clear Bags - This was a trend for like, five minutes, until everyone realized it was STUPID because NO ONE WANTS THE WORLD TO SEE WHAT THEY CARRY AROUND IN THEIR PURSE!!! I don't exactly want total strangers viewing my tampons or receipts that probably should have been thrown away but are piling up under my wallet and keys. Why D&G would revive this, I will never understand
  • Gratuitous Hardware - I'm all about hardware when it's tasteful and contributes to the overall design. But come on - this hardware is totally unnecessary and makes the bag looks like it is covered with dice or dominoes. Not a good look
  • Patriotism - I'm as patriotic as the next person. American The Beautiful, God Bless the USA, and all that jazz. But I don't need my bag to express this for me
  • INSANE PRICES - This is where this bag REALLY gets to me. We all know that bags are priced waytoohigh. No one can dispute that. But pricing a PLASTIC bag covered with patent leather dominoes at $795 requires a new definition for the word insane

If you thought the front was bad, you will TRULY be able to appreciate how absolutely hideous this bag is when looking at it from the side. Whoever approved this design at D&G should be shot. Available at Nordstrom.
