They're selling the Chanel segway at this year's amfAR Cannes dinner

honestly, why would any segway-addict (like me) would want the chanel logo on it? it is a vehicle that gets dirty most easily!

My boyfriend's friend made these as an art piece and left them outside the Chanel store. They did not last very long.....
Not exactly a "designer accessory"- but I still felt ok posting them here!

Hi dear. These are cool photos, I like the idea...I wonder what people thought when walking by. And what was stuffed in the trash bags? B)

Do you find the PRADA Bicycle pointless... I DO!

This thread is hilarious. Seriously what are the designers thinking when the stick a logo on some random items.

No one knows where to find these, but everyone wants a pair. We’re talking about the Louis Vuitton VIP Chopsticks Set that go for a cool $450–and make your eel sushi taste that much more chic. Each set comes in a Monogram Plexi-glass and includes four sticks. To our knowledge, these are not sold in stores just yet…though Russian billionaires always have a way of getting their hands on indulgences such as these.

Plexi-glass? Not an ivory inlay?

Fire extinguishers? I didn't know safety was also a part of the fashion race.

OMG, I didn't know mahjong was an actual game outside of my laptop

This thread is really funny I want those Lanvin pencils!
The trashbags are kind of taking it far I know the Chanel ones were a project and weren't actually sold but branding trash bags is sort of overboard. I wouldn't want to pay $500 for a trashbag

I must say, I've seen the Versace dinnerwear and ashtrays up close and they are gorgeous! My mum would love those. And the Versace plane!

I do not think dinner-wear and home accessories are 'pointless accessories' for luxury design firms. They do sell a lifestyle, especially brands like Armani Casa and Versace Home earn ridiculous amounts of money alone, just as interior design labels.

I would kill to own some Bottega home accessories for instance. All those pillows, office goods, frames, even trash cans and box-paper tissue dispensers are stunning.

 

[haksare]

^ Exactly, interior design sells well. I love Versace Home and Fendi Casa are my faves


Not sure if it's been posted but, anyone want to enjoy their artery-clogging meal in style?

I don't think it's really out there for production, but I found it funny

 

[CrisGalaxy]

HAHAHA! ^ I'D EAT TONS OF THOSE CHANEL BIGMACS TILL I EXPLOTE.
bigmac is my fav from the macdonalds menu

 

[pinkdolphin]

OMG, I thought I'd seen it all, but that sushi set and fast food containers are pretty darn weird!

 

[papa_levante]

It's Cavalli Coke.

Forget the designer bicycles, who needs 2 designer wheels when you could one day get four? Jinyoung Jo, a car designer in South Korea created a Chanel concept car and called it Fiole (French for vial).

Like all things luxurious and fashionable, the Chanel Fiole is not made for function and practicality; instead it is style and prestige that are the main features in this car with a crystal encrusted double-C logo at the front and on the rims of the wheels.

Not completely useless, I'm sure it moves forward, backwards and turns, but imagine the panic an owner would endure after a dent or scratch.
