According to New York Post’s Page Six

The girls on The View today dissed Louis Vuitton’s Tribute Patchwork bag, and rightly so. But then Rosie O’Donnell said she would “craft” an equal bag at home for $10. The girls even said they would give out the “knockoffs” to the audience. What do you think about this?

I’m sorry, but there is genuine fur on the bag, monogram, and logoed hardware - I don’t think Ro can come close.

Burberry has a new & interesting line out called “sliced check”, which is basically their plaid pvc interrupted with stripes of silver and silver leather trim. It’s a glitzy collection, for sure. You can see the effect best on their classic hobo shape. Sized 16″ x 11″ x 2.5″, The Sliced Check Hobo costs $895, which is totally an already slashed price for such a luxe looking bag. Go Burberry!

Also in the collection are the Manor and the new Beaton.
