Don’t read today’s post if you love designer bags.

February 25, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I am 100% serious. If your idea of the Ultimate Accessory for your wardrobe is a bag everyone will coo over because it’s “designer”, skip today’s blog post.

Because I have collected up some photos of what I, just my opinion, I, consider the

Ugliest Bags in the Universe.

Well, perhaps I over-reach. I’m sure there are worse purses somewhere. After all, these are just some I stumbled upon. And tried not to upchuck on.

Ugly CoachUgly Coach again

Another ugly CoachAnother ugly handbagUgly tooWhat can I say?It's alive! and ugly...Sorry, patchwork is always uglyNothing says class like a tattooInvaluable, and ugly.

Yes, I know that last one’s a bag made to raise money for UNICEF and it’s a collector’s item and it was designed for charity and cost a LOT more than just your run-of-the-mill Gucci and it’s coveted. It’s still ugly.

    you are so right Kate, plus with the prevalence of FAKES esp. Coach fakes designer bags have totally lost their value. The gals I see in my rural supermarket in their growing out 80s perms, flannel pajama bottoms and tattoos carrying their fake hideous Coach bags has turned me off to the brand for life. Too Bad.

    Oh, that was fun. Reminds me of the story of the emperor’s new clothes.

    Ohhhh way past Ugly. I agree with you on all of them. The last one is a little unsettling without even knowing the price. Great post today!
