Um, NO!!! Beacuse a.) it'd probably feel weird/uncomfortable carrying that

b.) it's way too small. c.) that's a ridiculous price

i agree. also i would feel a little odd bending over to get cash out.

in line to get coffee or something and bend over.. i dont know, i couldn't do it.

this is just weird. who will buy this one and use it as an ankle bag anyway? Also the price is just crazy for me.

Hey, I found this and thought it was interesting:

Quote:

Usmagazine reported that they were inspired by those alcohol monitoring devices worn by ‘young-troubled’ hollywood celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Eve, and Michelle Rodriguez. This monitoring device is called SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring) device — an ankle bracelet worn to test for alcohol vapors that come out of the skin. The tests will go on every 30 minutes for 90 days ( or even 30 or 45 days, as required to each individual). Please don’t tell me that those SCRAM become chic and fashionable now! If that truly happens, it’s definitely misleading!

I mean, if they have to wear an ankle bracelet anyways, it mine as well be fashionable and desiger, right? I actually think it'd be a good idea for that.

Interesting...anklets can be cute, but this is just a bit out there.

VivaLaJuicy · January 23rd, 2008, 02:53 PM

OMG!

I'd love to see somebody out in public with this... I wonder if any other designers, brand or stores are going to copy this idea! Imagine seeing replicas at those cheap mall stands??!

I have to admit...I like it...really like it.

Now, I wouldn't pay anywhere near $1,290 since that's halfway to a Chanel 2.55 but made with a lot less than half the materials.

It seems perfect for a night out if it could at least hold a credit card, keys, and a mini lip gloss. I've always hated schlepping a bag, even clutches when out for drinks or dancing. Aren't there so many other things to be focused on?

For daytime, even though I definitely need alot more carrying space, I wonder how it looks on the wrist or on the upper arm?

I think I must play with this one in person!

no, no, no

mudkipz · January 25th, 2008, 07:56 AM

No way am I going to use an ankle bag. It'll just end up getting stolen!

anne022196 · January 25th, 2008, 11:17 AM

true...never to buy this one..
