Are crocodiles the new endangered species?  Designers are all rushing to cash in on the popularity of gator bags with sky high price tags these days.  While some, like Hermes and Prada, make our hearts flutter with desire, others just make us shudder.  Nicolas Guesquiere, the once punky rebel designer who [...]]]></description>

After milking the success of the Le Dix Motorcycle bag for 7 years, Nicolas Ghesquiere is finally back to the drawing board to plan his next bag attack.

Dear Emichiee,
Reproductions of designer bags are everywhere these days.  You can go on Canal street and pick up the &#8220;birkin&#8221; or the &#8220;spy bag&#8221; for a mere $50, but those are so obviously fake that you&#8217;d be chased out of Hermes if you ever took one in there [...]]]></description>
