Virgil Abloh designed an Off-White bag with holes in it that is worth $1,665, and the design of the purse was inspired by a meteor shower (Fisher 2). The dramatic holes and name of the bag come from the “Meteor” idea (Fisher 2). A previous purse from Off-White had words written on it that said, “cash inside”. The purse gave people an idea to try to rob a person with the purse since it had instructions on how to open it and rob it and that is why the phrase “cash inside” is on the purse (Fisher 6). The Off-White Meteor bag has three giant holes in it that are big enough to put your hand through it and carry it (Fisher 2-4).
The Off-White purse is structured well and designed beautifully, but you can not put any objects in it because of the giant holes in it. If I have enough money, I will most likely not see myself buying this purse. The reason why I would not buy it is because it costs too much money for you to not really use it. I think that would be a waste of a lot of money on a bag that I cannot put my items in it. It could not hold money, credit cards, makeup, a brush or your phone. Therefore, this Off-White Meteor bag is something I would not buy because my objects could come up stolen easily or they would fall out the purse and be lost. While the purse is not practical, it is a status symbol of someone who is wealthy. Someone can use it to follow the current style or they cause it to make a fashion statement. The issue here is fashion items that are expensive but not useful.
