Credit Crunch Fashion


Who said the Fashion world was incapable of taking the credit crunch with a laugh?


Even in the darkest of moments, you can always find a bright side to things: proof with this purse by ByMatao, inspired by the Madoff financial scandal last December (for those of you who are little economically news-centered, Madoff was running a hedgefund which turned out to be a huge scam: he was using the money of new investors to pay shares to the old ones, and lost billions of dollars to his shareholders. Money gone to heaven, never reappeared.)


This tapestry purse is embroidered with an inscription in French that says' Madoff took me everything', and the brand called it 'Trousse crise noire' ('black crisis kit'). Sweet, ironic and quite pretty.


If these shareholders' purse could talk!...
