De-vine or De-sgusting?

You know how dropped toast always manages to land jelly-side down, thereby picking up whatever unappetizing debris that happens to litter the floor? That's exactly what the Mary Francis De-vine reminded of.



This purse looks like it landed face down on the floor of the World's Kitschiest Flea Market. The coating of detritus is so dense, in fact, that bits are actually hanging off of it, like drunken revelers on a particularly tawdry Mardi Gras float.

Now, to be fair, not all of her handbags look like the result of a weeklong bender and a hot glue gun. I actually kind of like her Martinique bag:



With the coral-shaped hardware, it has a very tropical feel, and it's downright austere compared to the rest of her designs.
