Accessories That Make One Go “???”

One thing bagaholicboy loves is a good novelty piece. “because they make people sit up, take notice and talk,” he says. And one thing industry insiders and his followers love about him is his no-holds-barred, tongue-in-cheek way of talking. Here, his (slightly censored) quips on his most irreverent picks of S/S ’17.

1. “A fish trap* for late night fishing – the reflective border will help motorists avoid you when you’re on the way home.” (*Note: It is not a fish trap.) Lantern calfskin bag, $8,690, Loewe.

2. “What. The. Insert-expletivehere. Cute.” Plexiglass and strass minaudiere, $23,450, Chanel.

3. “Is this a bag or a water bottle?” Love Box leather shoulder bag, $2,630, Saint Laurent.

4. “Buy five and you can play five stones.” Croissant lambskin bag charm, $495 each, Celine.

5. “At first glance, I thought this was a coin pouch. Who in the world needs a furry egg-shaped sticker? I don’t know. But I don’t mind one.” Fur and leather sticker, $490, Anya Hindmarch.

6. “I stared at this for five minutes and couldn’t figure out what it was.” (Answer: an extra quirky bucket bag inspired by equestrianism and ’20s fashion.) Toupet calfskin with horse hair, $15,400, Hermes.

7. “Is it a bag or a bean bag? Or is it a bean bag pretending to be a bag?” (P.S. It’s 50cm wide.) Air Hobo lambskin bag, $2,150, Balenciaga.

8. “Art school Batgirl called. She wants her necklace back.” Resin, ceramic and lambskin necklace, $1,150, Loewe.

9. “How is it possible to create a shoe entirely out of ribbons? Is the sole a neo-modernist sculpture? #fineart.” Eiko fabric and wood wedges, Salvatore Ferragamo.
