A HANDBAG?

Kate Moss, 36 year old supermodel, role model, partygirl and fashionista, has teamed up with luxury label Longchamp to design a range of quality handbags. The collection includes cute party clutches, animal print shoppers and travel luggage made of exquisite soft red and black leather.

Moss teamed up with Longchamp's creative director Sophie Delafontaine to create the handbag range which centres on the popular and modern themes, 'Rock'n'Casual, Rock'n'Travel and Rock'n'Glam.'

Speaking to Vogue about the handbag range, Moss said,  "This one is great for Glastonbury - you can hold two drinks and put it over your shoulder, it's perfect!" Leaving both hands free! One for fags, one to sign a few autographs, maybe?

The first lot of luxury luggage hits boutiques and a few select department stores (Galeries Lafayette in Paris, Selfridges in London) on February 11. With price tags in the region of $990 dollars though im not sure you'll see too many youngsters sporting them at music festivals this year.

This isn't Moss's first foray into fashion design though, her four collections for Topshop have proved a massive hit amongst young people eager to copycat the waif's unique look. However, this is one collection i'm sure the teens of today won't be as keen to invest in! With prices so high purchasing classic timeless handbags seems much more appropriate than frittering away a grand for the sake of carrying two beers at Glastonbury!

If handbags as a social symbol are something you buy into though, then consider the Hermes Birkin or Marc Jacobs Stam. A few elegant classics and a couple of the most valued bags ever to have graced a celebrities arm.

Quite frankly, the garish silver buckles and zebra print accessories cheapen the Longchamp collection leaving them more Liz Mcdonald than Alexander McQueen.
