Area's crystal-encrusted folding-chair bag – a cross-body accessory you can't sit on and can't store anything in.
We Know How Much You Adore Styling Cross-Body Bags. But This Time We Have A Chair, And its Not Your Average Gray Metal One, But A Bedazzled, With Crystals Applied To Every Inch. Let’s Find Out If You Plan To Sit On It Or Cross-Body It!
Like bizarre and weird food combinations, there’s no dearth of unusual fashion items and accessories.
High fashion can be a little weird sometimes – and you shouldn’t feel bad if you don’t really “get” it. However, sometimes designers tend to get carried away a little too much down the runway. Nevertheless, high fashion likes to push the limits of what is considered what people can wear, but sometimes it drifts in to the realm of completely impractical.
So, just like then, this time we are getting into the deets of one of the most mocked bags over social media. Silver metal crystal chair bag from Area featuring crystal embellishment, pavé setting, silver-tone logo plaque, detachable chain-link shoulder strap and folding chair design.
This tiny bedazzled folding chair is a rare and delightful exception.
During the IRL fashion week, models wore the chairs as crossbody bags in the brand’s fall runway show. Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn’t actually carry anything, except for a tête-à-tête.
Let’s just take a deep breath, make some things clear, and appreciate this fashion moment. The chair was accompanied by similarly bedazzled chair earrings and human-size chairs for sitting at the show. It was an artistic statement, OK?
So, if you are looking for simply adding it for the artistic-statementness to your collection, this can be just perfect for you! Being a tiny folding chair, encrusted with crystals, hung on a long chain and you can’t fit anything inside of it. That's why many people were baffled by the purpose of the chair bag.
Looking at chair, one’s first thought can always be to sit on it, but can you sit on this chair?
Do all the honours from our side, but we don’t ensure you comfort and as a bag we don’t ensure you even storing a pin.
We do think that the chair speaks sophistication with the crystal embellishment, but a fashion piece appearing as a home décor piece is not we think we were looking for. If you want such a statement piece with no practicality to accessorize to your outfit, feel free to own it! But you can’t carry it at your work as you’ll be laughed at, a lot and neither can store your stuff. Choice is yours!
