No this is not a spoof, this is an actual ad from Fendi's Fall 2007 campaign featuring Kate Moss (okay, so I added Grover but it's funny how perfectly in sync they are!). I first saw this bag in red fox fur on the pages of Elle and laughed out loud because it looked curiously like my son's favorite monster, Elmo. I was not able to find that photo but managed to get this one, the Grover version in blue fox. These rainbow colored Fendi fox bags were clearly inspired by Sesame Street, which may appeal to our tot snobs but no woman in their right mind should ever be seen with this unless they are being paid 7 figures like Kate. As a mother of a toddler, she is probably familiar with Sesame Street, which would explain her posing like Grover, who knew she had the same sense of humour as the Bag Snob?!?! And do you see what I see on Kate's face? She's got the "I am being paid millions to be photographed with this giant fuzzy mess but you'd be an idiot to actually spend $5,000 for it" look. Seriously, you don't see her traipsing around London with this on her arm do you? I know you all think we hate Fendi but it's not true! Some of my most treasured bags are the Fendi Baguettes which I still pull out and use from time to time, but with bags like this being churned out do you blame us for bitching at them? $4,710 at Fendi Boutiques.
