Last night, while trawling the interwebs (I am like some crazed fisherman setting out my nets to see what I can haul in) I came across something so super fantastic you won't even believe your eyes. In my quest to find that Chanel bag that is pictured down there (scroll down because I can't be bothered to link) I came across this piece of genius. In fact it's not genius. It's Genius. With a capital G.Stephanie Syjuco: The Counterfeit Crochet Project (Critique of a Political Economy). I am four years late to this party but I am still turning up. Crocheters are counterfeiting designer handbags of all the big labels: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce e Gabbana, Prada, Gucci etc.
Do you know how cool this is? All my gal pals have beautiful handbags and I troll around with my vintage bags that are all dying a slow and ungraceful death. I could rock one of these crocheted beauties. Imagine their faces. GOLD! It's a statement piece and totes legitimately cool! Get the feeling me likey? ME LIKEY!

Oh that is SUPER cool! I'd love to sport one in front of my "if it doesn't have a label it's not worthy" MIL ... he he he! Nice find PMM!
Wow! These are gorgeous! I guess now big labels will be available at affordable prices ;)
They are fabulous!
This is clever stuff. I want that Channel number. Okay and the Gucci too.
That's it, I have a goal of learning to crochet this year! these are amazing, my fav is the one on the 'scroll down'!
