Chinese Laundry bags and Louis Vitton

I just came across this very witty post on The Shanghaiist, who discovered that Louis Vitton elevated these crispy, plastic laundry bags to high fashion in their latest show. They look familiar?

They’re the bags your grandparents lugged their stuff in. Your parents wanted you to take them to university. And franky, you wouldn’t be seen dead taking the trash out with them.

Well, now you know. Farmers use them in Shanghai, and you better scrounge them back from your parents if you wanna stay cool. Throw out the LV clutch!

The most fashionable people in China: Migrant workers

Anyone got any photos with themselves or friends / relatives livin’ it up with these bags? Send them in to be featured in our future One Inch Catwalk!
