Death of the "IT" bag?

Ahh, so the time has finally arrived. According to reports, the "it" bag business is about to suffer a backlash. The celebrity driven nonsense of average consumers having to have the exact same bag "as seen on" their favorite pop star is coming to a hault, do in part to the current economy's recession. A senior fashion analyst at Mintel, quipped that, "women have become more cynical about the handbags they carry." Well, duh.........if you have to put gas in your Mercedes, what comes first? VS will keep a watch on this madness, I'm sure the tides will turn again. Because every girl has to have a piece of arm candy, I say don't follow trends, but if you want it, get it - period!
