Handbags of Horror!

by Amanda Gore (PSFK London)

Here’s a great story to keep those lamenting the passing of Halloween scarily amused- Radar Online have created Handbags of Horror. The site exhibits designer handbags that it feels proves the influence of scary movies on fashion designers! 

"At first we were puzzled. Then, while screening the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
we casually noted Leatherface’s resemblance to a certain Fendi satchel
and a light went off: Have designers, desperate for shock value, been
turning to horror movie villains for inspiration? Further investigation
bears out this troubling theory."

The seven bags highlighted, and their accompanying humorous explanations can be seen here- but be warned, it’s not for the faint hearted!!
