Conspicuous non consumption

Ha! A canvas tote printed to look like a designer handbag -- from thufri.com

I love the idea more than the actual thing itself. Love the way it makes fun of status. It's the sartorial equivalent of one of those bumper stickers that read "My other car is a Porsche!"

(For an interesting exploration of the psychology of prestige I recommend the relevant chapter of "How the Mind Works" by Steven Pinker)
