Mischa Barton’s Travels Inspire Handbags…Uh, Okay?
So get this, on July 2nd, Mischa Barton’s collection of handbags will be hitting stores. Apparently the girl was so inspired by the vintage finds from her travels that she just HAD to create her own line of handbags and subsequently piss even more people off. I’m seriously so sick of all these celebrity turned designers. At least Mischa Barton has some sort of real claim to fame though- she used her incredible “acting skills” to play Marissa Cooper on the OC a few years back, remember? At least Mischa Barton isn’t like Heidi Montag, a nonsense celebrity whose claim to fame is being on some reality tv show. And at least Mischa Barton is just sticking to handbags; Heidi Montag went all out with a full clothing line (Heidiwood) and thoroughly irritated anyone with any common sense. I thought they killed off Mischa’s character off the OC so she could pursue a “real acting career” though? Didn’t she want to be taken more seriously as an actress and really make a difference with her roles in films? How the hell does a collection of handbags tie into that?
Anyway, now that I’m done with my rant of annoying celebrity designers, I’ll get back to the point. She’s designed handbags based off her vintage finds from her travels. The bags will be available on July 2nd at retail shops such as John Lewis, Debenhams, and Fenwicks in the UK. Apparently its all really on the hush-hush and all she’s revealing is that all the bags have a flower logo which she drew herself. Let’s see if this dies off as quickly as her character Marissa Cooper did…
