Christina Hendricks was spotted out on in West Hollywood, California, yesterday shopping on a sunny afternoon.
Wearing a classic denim shirt, black jeans, black pumps and oversized shades, you must be thinking, why the need for this post?
Well we need to discuss her one-of-a-kind Farbod Barsum ‘Isabella’ tote which cost $23,980.
I kid you not. I am still trying to locate my jaw which hit the floor when I found out the price of this bag.
While this Farbod Barsum bag was handcrafted using the finest materials, with the quality showcased through the designer’s attention I have to ask does the world need yet another overpriced handbag?

I don’t even think it’s a nice bag… I’ve seen nicer on the high street.
Seriously! I’ve seen nicer bags at H&M.
+1
Way overpriced and quite ugly. How in the world is it possible to make such an overpriced bag…!
Right! That bag looks like any other bag at TJ MAXX
And the answer to your question is NO!!
And it’s not even pretty. Rather go for a Hermes.
Why? So you can get a badly stitched bag for over $30,000? I think the bag is very chic!
I personally find a Hermes well stitched and much more appealing to the eye. That bag personifies class. I’m sure this bag is made of top quality leather (croc?) but it’s just plain ugly to me. I wouldn’t even buy it if I saw it in a high street store.
I really hope it was given to her because it is kind of ugly.
i agree
I hope so too.
that much for such a ugly bag! she looks great though.
The bag is ugly and expensive for nothing.
That is insane! I could never spend that much money on a handbag, and even if I did I don’t know if I would ever feel comfortable just casually carrying it around town.
But, I guess if you can afford to buy it, you can afford to replace it if it gets damaged or stolen. Oh, to be wealthy.
Obscene.
It is not Christina Hendricks that should be called out for decadence, it is VICTORIA BECKHAM who has been spending years worths of food for starving children on her wardrobe for YEARS.
Victoria Beckham is guilty of more decadence than even the Kardashians. And Christina Hendricks.
I don’t like crocodile to begin with. I think it too easily can be tacky.
why on earth are you on this website then? if you can accuse victoria beckham for it then surely the same argument would be applied to every other celebrity that has been featured on here?
VB is just shameless about it, which is my beef.
I love high fashion and am for self-indulgence, but in down-to-earth moderation.
I love Victoria’s style and her line, but this is what I mean by Victoria Beckham being self-indulgent in bad taste:
http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2009/01/13/in-victoria-beckhams-closet-hermes-himalayan-birkin/
I come to this site for the fashion and ideas, and because I have been loyal to FC (in various names other than my name Odette) for three years.
Victoria Beckham mixes and matches her wardrobe unlike most celebs who only wear something once. And VB is not shameless about it. That could be said about any celebrity who chooses to buy an overpriced bag just because it is overpriced.
smeone that spends that much money on a clothing item seriously needs to do a trip to some less unfortunate areas in this world
i think that’s just what happens when you carry a birkin since it is now carried by every status seeker/social climber/ attention seeking famewhore these days.
Hermes used to be about subtle luxury and craftmanship but now its simply nothing more than an overpriced bags carried by anyone that wants to be a “somebody” with more money than taste then sense.
And i agree with that photo of VB, but ive noticed she doesnt carry her Birkins that often anymore, maybes shes growing up and becoming more grounded?
Not loving that she is matching the bag so perfectly. Refinery 29 did a piece on the rising prices of designer accessories http://www.refinery29.com/designer-accessories-expensive
Does that mean we have weeks of ugly blue/black combo outfits ahead of us?
Please, no more – this one is already shocking enough.
this colour combination is atrocious, would have been better if it’s an all black bag
That is a ridiculous price for a bag unless it’s covered in diamonds.
Does the bag hold the meaning of life?
Otherwise, I can’t fathom why anyone would spend that much on a bag that isn’t solid platinum (so you can re-sell it when you inevitably go broke).
I’m so baffled that it costs so much, like others have said – it’s not even that well-designed.
Unattractive bag, insanely priced. Really dislike how Christina dresses. Such a missed opportunity…
I want one. Now.
It’s not even that nice, but I want one!
I don’t think the bag is that ugly but just way overpriced.
She should have spent that money on a new stylist.
+1 that’s an excellent idea
The bag is not ugly, but not gorgeous either. Paying that much for a purse is obscene.
That is ridiculous. This bag costs the same amount as my entire university degree. I find it crazy that anyone could consider spending that much money on a bag. Just goes to show that “money can’t buy sense”.
I’m also not a fan of Christina’s style. She never dresses to suit her body shape, and this bag just confirms it for me – she has bad taste.
To end on a positive note, love your work FC
Thank you

You could say the same about VB’s bags!!
I think it’s a pretty design. It’s just as pretty as any Chanel or Louis Vuitton bag. The price is hideous, but I think calling this bag ‘ugly’ is just dramatic. It’s not like taxpayers bought the purse. It’s nothing to get offended by, IMO.
Overprices goes without saying, but SO UGLY!!
But all LV bags are ugly, too!
Wow, $23,980? For a fraction of that amount, I can book myself a holiday to Italy, check out some great shops there and have someone handcraft me a one-of-a-kind handbag. And still have plenty left for another holiday elsewhere.
I have only one word,UGLY!!!I have seen nicer handbags made by local traders in my country,Nigeria.Utter waste of money!
I don’t think the bag is ugly, it suits her style really well! And well, it must be overpriced but you don’t know the handcrafting behind it and obviously she can afford it. This is crocodile after all, this is not basic leather. Why don’t you talk about the +30,000$ Burberry croco bags then?
Looks like a bowling ball bag. Seriously, it is that ugly and not even good shades of the color blue. Blue and black can look great if the blue is the correct shade, but this is too light and glaring. Just awful and tacky in every way. She is just one of those people who have no idea of how to dress herself and it shows almost every time.
This over priced uglyness just reminded my of The Tribute Patchwork Bag by Louis Vuitton
LOL, I saw one of those at the Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs exhibition in Paris a few weeks ago. It was hideous! And I say that as a big fan of Marc Jacobs…
Ignoring the absolute lack of appeal(plain ugliness) of this bag, why is she wearing that bag with that outfit? The whole look is giving me grief.
why so jealous? she have the right to do whatever she want to do with her money!!!!
jealous has nothing to do with it…that is quite a juvenile response.
Everyone else has put forward an intelligent view whether it be for or against the bag.
Almost as bad as The Row’s $40,000 backpack.
This bag just like Hermes bags is an exemple of designers making some average goods and putting scandalous price tags on it because some reckless fashion victims will always buy as it is designer.
The bag is okay but so not worth the price like 80% of high end goods these days.
I find the cost of the bag to be very offensive. While I love fashion, my common sense rises up to say, “IT’S JUST A BAG!!!” I think that even the most beautiful couture gowns can be overpriced. Art should be cherished (this bag is just ugly, so it doesn’t count
) but I feel like we need to keep in mind those who don’t have enough money for clean water! I’m glad to see that FC and most of the commentors also think that this bag is overpriced. I hope that this comment isn’t too negative!
at least her bowling ball fits in it nicely
Love it. Suits her style and attitude. Beautiful bag.
