Would you buy the Kim Haneul handbag?
by javabeans
Kim Haneul (On Air) is collaborating with Swarovski in designing her own “crystal handbag.”
Last month, Kim Haneul was selected by the new product brand Crystallized Swarovski Elements as their “Crystal Lady” of Korea, and this opportunity comes in honor of that selection. The handbag will be on display from December 12 through 18 in Seoul’s Shinsegae Department Store, after which it will be sold via auction. Proceeds will be donated to charity.
Kim Haneul will be at the department store on the 11th to be named Crystal Lady, at which she will show off her bag and wear a dress designed specially for her featuring Swarovski crystals.
(Too bad the bag is so unremarkable. Some might say ugly, even. I mean, really, you have a chance to collaborate with Swarovski and the best you could do was tack a bunch of rocks onto two strips on the side?)

It would have looked better without the stuff at the side. One crystal would have been nice. Or she could have done a necklace..

I guess her talent does not lie in handbag making. But nice try. Kim Ha Neul.

She looks nice when she wears her hair like that. Also love her earring. . People with big faces can be very attractive and striking. They really stand out. Sometimes small faces are just cute and sweet & don't the same presence. I guess it also helps to be tall like her. She was very good as the diva actress in On Air partly because of her majestic face.

The ideas are lost?
Functionality has prevailed for decorating?
The only points of light and color are placed onto two strips on the side, because, I think, Kim Haneul feared "the fragility" of "crystal handbag" in daily life.
The practicality was her first thought.
Who uses the handbag knows...

She's missed the point completely, if you're making a bag with crystals it's meant to be impractical and fabulous.
Make it so small you can't even fit your lipstick in there and so glittery it blinds people.

It looks like random pieces of rock you collected at the beach. Nothing like Swarovski.
On another note, irony that this article was posted right after the KSW-STY debacle?

It would have looked nicer if she dropped the weird straps and put the crystals on the belt horizontally.
Interesting try, would she seriously have carried this "tragedy" herself?
