According to Booth Moore and Melissa Magsaysay of the Los Angeles Times, there are some really ugly and impractical handbags by famous Designers that are hitting the runway for Fall of 2007. The trend is for the big label companies (Prada, Versace, etc.) to thrown celebrity parties for their latest bags and get their brand on the arm of a well know person such as Katie Holmes and Madonna.

This season the handbag designers have decided that more is better and to prove the point, have added lots of metal plates, straps, buckles, and extra zippers to their bags. Some of the most "over the top" designer handbags (according to the Los Angeles Times) are as follows:

• Prada - $2,390: Leather handbag with 3 1/2 pounds of hardware,including 3 rows of zippers.
  
• Gucci - $3,990: Rabbit hair handbag with studded metallic fringe.
  
• Jimmy Choo - $3,225: Pony hair handbag that has a non-functioning strap across the top, limiting your ability to even get in the handbag!
  
• Versace - $2,380: Hugh handbag with lots of metal and a very tiny handle.
